Greg Kihn Band - ‘The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)’ - 1981

[bayareabadboy]

On this day in 1981, The Greg Kihn Band single “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #88 (May 23)

It was the first hit for The Greg Kihn Band, and their biggest until they scored with "Jeopardy" in 1983.

The song from the album “RocKihnRoll” peaked at #14 in Australia and #15 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Greg Kihn Band are still playing to this day, 23 albums later, and he’s right......they don’t write like that anymore....

“Jeopardy” Singer Greg Kihn Dies at 75

Greg Kihn, who scored the hits “Jeopardy” and “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ’Em)” with his eponymous band, has died, his family said.

Kihn’s death was announced Aug. 15 without the date or cause given. His family called the musician “an iconic figure in the realm of rock music.”

“May Greg Kihn rest in peace and love,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.

Kihn’s early-1980s rise with such albums as RocKihnRoll and Kihnspiracy coincided with that of his longtime friend Eddie Money, whose family remembered the Greg Kihn Band leader as a “a funny and likable guy, and an immensely underrated artist and performer.”

After his music career cooled, Kihn went on to host radio programs in the Bay Area and former Wings drummer Laurence Juber a perennial guest.

“Always a blast to chat and jam with,” Juber said of Kihn.
