Rumor has it Elvis Presley intended to record Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” but Presley passed away and it never happened. Is that a fictional fact or a factual fiction?
If you’re pressed for time, the answer is “I don’t know.” Even Jimmy’s team expressed curiosity about this question, in the end, no clear answer was to be had. At least not yet.
Throughout all of the research and following up on leads, I did learn about some really interesting connections between Elvis Presley and Jimmy Buffett. There’s a lot to share.
You’re going to hear from quite a few people: Elvis historians Stephen Bartenfeld and Joseph A. Tuzi, Ray Walker of the Jordanaires, and broadcaster Elliott Forrest and produced Norbert Putnam. You’re even going to hear a never before heard clip of Jimmy Buffett speaking with Steve Goodman biographer Clay Eals, author of Steve Goodman: Facing the Music.
