When Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers sailed into St. Barth in 1978, he wasn’t a superstar. A failed country songwriter, he’d re-invented himself as a tropical rocker in Key West, where he played bars for tips. After his first hit, “Margaritaville,” his star rose, he discovered the island, bought a share of a run-down bar there, and brought in a new crowd—fellow musicians, drug smugglers, photographers and fashion models. A party started—and it’s never stopped.
