About George Green (songwriter)
- George Michael Green (January 28, 1952 – August 28, 2011) was an American songwriter who is perhaps best known for his collaborations with childhood friend, John Mellencamp.
- His compositions included the Top 10 Billboard hits "Crumblin' Down" and "Hurts So Good" (the latter of which was an RPM No.
- 1 hit in Canada), as well as another Canadian No.
- 1 hit in "Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)". “George Green was a superb lyricist who played an important role in moving John Mellencamp along the road to seriousness as a songwriter,” Anthony DeCurtis, a longtime music writer and contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine, told the Bloomington Herald-Times.
- “His plain-spoken, poetic touch lifted many of John’s songs, and, I believe, helped teach John what was possible for him to achieve as a writer.
- John eventually internalized those gifts himself, and George provided a close-at-hand model for how that could happen."
