They had many top twenty hits including “Make It With You,” “Baby I’m-a Want You,” “If,” “Everything I Own,” "Guitar Man," "Sweet Surrender," "It Don't Matter To Me" and many many more. His vocal performances are his lasting legacy. Jimmy Griffin released three solo albums and won an Academy Award for Best Original Song as a co-writer of “For All We Know,” the title song for a Hollywood movie. Jimmy Griffin started a band called Toast as a reference to his work with Bread. They performed at multiple Nashville venues.Then he played with the bands Black Tie, the Remingtons, and GYG. Griffin was planning to take GYG on the road when he fell ill with cancer. He passed away on January 11, 2005 at his home in Franklin, Tennessee, leaving a wealth of music behind that has become known as The Attic Archives. Martha Griffin met with Ray Chafin, a long time friend and collaborator of Jimmy's, at a Huey's restaurant in Memphis back in 2017. It was there they decided to give Jimmy his rightful encore by releasing The Attic Archives, and she handed Ray a box of CDs, tapes, and pressings containing all of Jimmy's work. Ray Chafin, and his Wraysong Records label, recruited the talents of John Bass and his Arctic Studio in Columbia, Tennessee, to bring Jimmy's previously unreleased recordings to a larger audience. They worked to restore those they could and remastered them the best they could.
