@crk5 I am probably one of the few people on earth with a complete collection of 11 Greg Kihn/Greg Kihn Band CDs. These were released in Germany in the late ‘80s. They are flat transfers from the master tapes, so they sound amazing! 😎 #GregKihn #GregKihnBand #CompactDisc #PhysicalMedia

40 years ago this week, "Lucky" by #GregKihn entered the #Top40 at 38. It peaked at 30 on 06 Apr 1985. It didn't do as well as "Jeopardy" had two years earlier, but I think it's catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNHWpi7CKgU #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
