Jim Kerr (of Simple Minds)

Jim Kerr is a co-founder, singer and songwriter for the Scottish rock band Simple Minds. Known best for the track "Don't You Forget About Me," which propelled from the film The Breakfast Club to No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1985. The band followed that with more Hot 100 success from the 1985 album, Once Upon a Time: "Alive and Kicking" (No. 3), "Sanctify Yourself" (No. 14) and "All The Things She Said" (No. 28). Simple Minds' latest album, Direction of the Heart, released on October 21, 2022, is a wonderful collection that showcases the band's time-tested ability to write and perform compelling, emotional rock music. It includes a song written in the band's early days but never released, "Act of Love," and a cover of the 1983 single by The Call, "The Walls Came Down."
