Jimmy Buffett - Little Miss Magic - Directed by Delaney

How did you spend your quarantine? Jimmy Buffett asked the fans to tell him which songs, not in his usual repertoire, would they like to hear? Within minutes, over 10,000 tracks were requested. Some songs he had to re-learn as it's been so long since he played them! Directed by Jimmy's daughter, Delaney Buffett, the docuseries is an inside look of the stories and inspirations of the songs.
The series has become a fan favorite which of course evolved into recording his favorites with producer/bandmate Mac McAnally and Coral Reefers Peter Mayer and Eric Darken. Available at: smarturl.it/SYDKBH

I used to sing this to my daughter when she was a baby and I would rock her in the middle of the night to get her back to sleep. Later, this was the father/daughter dance song for my daughters wedding, and I sang it to her as we danced. Love this song, and I absolutely loved your dad.

Thank You Jimmy! My 30 year old daughter is getting married and she has known since her days in a car seat that this song was going to be her daddy/daughter dance! i don't blame you for the time we were running down the river in the boat when she was 5 and she sang every word of " why don't we get drunk and screw to her grandmother". That might have been my fault .

This really tugged at my heartstrings today 😭. My deepest sympathies to you Savannah for whom this song was about and to especially Delaney, probably hard to watch since you’re the one who did this series with your dad. My deepest sympathies to all of you. Jimmy was such a truly treasure for all to experience as a story teller, writer, musician and singer. Each one of these videos accompanied with his story and the photos have had me crying and feeling what lyrics are about and their meaning. Thank you Jimmy, sail on. ✌️🫶🤗

[@robertfrierson5832]

With his passing Sept 1, this video and the others in this series become even more special. Love and prayers for Jimmy’s wife and kids.

I have two very special grown daughters as well. His songs take me back to those special moments I was able to share with them. Jimmy was a special person that not many are ever made like him.

[@jeffbeatty6459]

Thrilled to randomly come across these videos of Jimmy. Forever grateful to Delaney for putting these together. So sad to know he is no longer physically with us, but will forever be with us in spirit. Incredibly special moment having Little Miss Magic played for my daddy- daughter dance this past January. ❤😢

[@tammylorcher5169]

Been listening for years and I accidentally found this on Pandora. I am in tears, my daughter, and son in law, have a 3 year old girl. And 3 boys. I cried at this song. And yes I sent it to my son in law. May God Bless you and your family.

Heard this song for first time back in the late 90s shortly after my daughter was born. She got married on August 12th and it's the song we danced to in the Father-Daughter dance. So sad to see him pass away just weeks later. This song always meant a lot to me.

I got this song title tattooed along side a portrait of myself and my mother, I was about 7 in the photo. It was first tattoo and was tattooed on my right shoulder blade in 2008. She absolutely loved the Keys and Jimmy, and sang this song to me as a child. Fast forward to February 7, 2021 and I lost my mother to her 5 year long Early Onset Alzheimers battle at the young age of 66. I was supposed to get married the following week that year. Our marriage was postponed to her birthday in July of 2022. This is absolutely going to be my Father-Daughter dance song in our wedding. My parents had been married for 39 years when she passed. Hopefully my Dad won’t see this because it’s a surprise. But really…….real tears from the depth of my soul. I love this. Thank you

[@EllenDe-La-Hunty]

Just took my 17 month old little girl down to South Padre and we stayed at the Margaritaville Resort. My dad would take me to SP every summer and we would listen to Jimmy Buffet all the time. My dad would sing me to sleep with “A Pirate Looks At Forty” but I knew it as “Mother Mother Ocean”. He would sing this too and sometimes, I’m sure I caught a tear or two in his eyes. Now that I have a little girl, I understand why. This song does speak to the souls out there. Jimmy reached us and continues to reach the heart of families, generation after generation. ❤

This song was the Father-Daughter dance for my oldest daughter at her wedding. Great song and beautiful memories.

@@Dan-C-71 Rest assured, Jimmy’s basking in Glory right now.🙌 He was raised Catholic & even though I’m not a fan of that religion (being raised one myself) he knows who our Savior is.✝ And knowing he was dying (a gift not everyone gets) I’m sure he made things right w/Jesus beforehand.👍 I pray Jesus comforts his devastated family at this trying time, & carries them through for as long as they need. He left us w/one last loving ballad, ‘Bubbles Up’. Check it out. And ask Jesus to Reveal Himself to you.✝He never refuses a _sincere,_ contrite heart.
