MIAMI — Jimmy Buffett has been chosen for entry into the Library of Congress.
Buffett’s 1977 recording “Margaritaville” joins 24 other recordings to make up the selections of the 2023 National Recordings Registry of the Library of Congress.
The Library made its announcement last week of “audio treasures worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance in the nation’s recorded sound heritage,” said Librarian of Congress’ Carla Hayden in a statement.
