Cal Vid's video: Greg Kihn Death Jeopardy Remembered

Greg Kihn, the rock guitarist and vocalist known for hit songs in the 1980s, has died at age 75 after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. The Baltimore-born musician’s website confirmed Kihn was dead on August 13, 2024. The Greg Kihn Band hit the Billboard charts in 1981 with “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em),” and the band’s biggest hit “Jeopardy” was released two years later, hitting No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 behind only Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” The popularity of the track inspired “Weird Al” Yankovic to write a parody titled “I Lost on Jeopardy,” referencing the longtime game show. Kihn was also an author of six novels and a longtime radio host. He is survived by his wife and two children.
