Buffett died Sept. 1 after a four-year battle with Merkel cell skin cancer. He was 76.
In the course of his 50-year-career Buffett cultivated a devout army of fans who called themselves ParrotHeads, released some of the most treasured songs in current music history (“Margaritaville,” “Come Monday,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere”), authored several books and built a brand that encompassed restaurants, hotels, cruise lines and a Broadway show.
His last album, “Equal Strain on All Parts,” was released posthumously in November and features collaborations with McCartney, Emmylou Harris and Angélique Kidjo.
