Mel Gaynor has hand signed in red ink the Simple Minds 12 inch single “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” is a 1985 song performed by the band Simple Minds known for its being in the soundtrack to the film The Breakfast Club. The songwriters were producer Keith Forsey (who won an Oscar for “Flashdance… What a Feeling“) and Steve Schiff (guitarist and songwriter from the Nina Hagen band).
Aside from its initial appearance in The Breakfast Club, the song has been featured in various media throughout the years, and has been covered and sampled by a number of artists. Forsey asked Cy Curnin from The Fixx, Bryan Ferry and Billy Idol to record the song, but all three declined; Idol would later perform a cover of it on his 2001 greatest hits compilation. Schiff then suggested Forsey ask the Scottish New Wave band Simple Minds, who initially refused as well, but then agreed under the encouragement of their label, A&M. According to one account, the band “rearranged and recorded ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ in three hours in a north London studio and promptly forgot about it.
