I think a lot of people wouldn't know Greenwood if not for this song. It's a shame. He has such a great voice and great control of it, too. He's also a good songwriter, having written this and many other of his own songs. The song has been popular since its release in 1984, hitting #7. It's gained large boosts in popularity at different times, during the Gulf War, after 9/11, and other times people need a little extra boost in morale. The song was re-released in 2001, and climbed all the way to #16 on the Hot 100.
Happy birthday, America!
