"Grapefruit—Juicy Fruit" is a song written and performed by American
singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was first released on his 1973 album
A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean and was his second single
from that album. The single reached #23 on Billboard Magazine's
Easy Listening chart in September 1973.
A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean is the third studio album by
American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and the first major-label album
in Buffett's Don Gant-produced "Key West phase", although Buffett himself
frequently refers to A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean as his first
album. The LP was initially released on June 4, 1973 and reached #43 on
the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, but did not make the Billboard 200
album chart. Although it was not very successful commercially at the time
of its release, A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean is generally
considered one of Buffett's better albums and the beginning of his success.
