[1/2] Jimmy Buffet and wife Jane at the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscars Party in West Hollywood, California February 24, 2013. Buffett cut the record, titled "Equal Strain On All Parts," earlier this year before he died from skin cancer on Sept. 1 at age 76. "Gummie," a celebration of marijuana-laced candy, was inspired by a dinner party attended by Buffett, former Beatle McCartney and their wives, Mailboat Records said in a press release. McCartney wound up playing bass on the track, which Buffett wrote. Buffett went from Key West beach bum to billionaire behind the always-on-vacation "Margaritaville" commercial empire with legions of fans known as Parrotheads.
