who who who had crossed over onto USA charts THAT much?
Not Ricki Martin, not Desi Arnaz, (not enough hits) --not even Julio Iglesias, who would never have sung something so perkily Calypso or Sub-tropical/Tropical...
SO I reigned it in and asked myself...what about Miami? Or Fla. in general, and then Jimmy Buffett came to mind.
So I Google searched "Jimmy Buffett writer/wrote for Billboard magazine", and BINGO!
Then it was simply searching his Billboard discography for a peak at #66 on the USA chart.
And I knew the song, but it had totally escaped memory. I would never have guessed it without the extra clues.
"Volcano" by Jimmy Buffett
which seems like a second cousin to Belafonte's "Matilda" if you think about it. THAT's why I was thinking Belafonte.
Great clue, total earworm material, so dangerous with obsessive types like me. Cue up end credit, Outer Limits music...
