I'm kind of reminded of the Greg Kihn Band, similar and popular '80s type rock'n'roll, their biggest hit was probably the quite amazing Jeopardy" (1983) with its creepy music video this sort of spooky thing was all the rage in early '80s promo clips. Still as catchy a number today as it was back then. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZmeTqdN_h5rPicY.html

Ah Huey! When “Sports” came out, we all bought it. This period (1981-1986) was such a fantastic time for music! So many huge groups! The big 60’s and 70’s groups were still doing new stuff and all these new groups were trying new sounds with every album. The 80’s was the decade of the sax! You guys gotta listen to Springsteen’s song “Jungleland.” Clarence Clemons’ sax solo is akin to Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. Another great sax solo is in “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant” by Billy Joel.

If you want uptempo for your next Huey outing, check out "Hip to Be Square", or if you want more laid back "If This Is It". Sadly, Huey, now 71, lost his hearing in 2018, but his legacy lives on.

Growing up with season tickets to the 49ers through the 80's, Huey Lewis and The News would perform on the back of a flat bed truck during commercial breaks at the games. They would drive out, sing a song, then back out from the sidelines. It was great!

"I've been smiling the whole time I'm listenin' to this" - a perfect endorsement to the man and the band.

I did and the other band was Huey Lewis and the News. There couldn't have been more than 50 or 60 people in there but they just blew everyone away how good they were. They became really famous about 6 months later.

Saw him live in 1987. Great show, check out Jacob's Ladder and Walking on a thin line. What makes Huey Lewis so great is the fact that he is relatable to the average man, from his music to his style to his love of sports. Nothing over the top nothing too flashy, no special effects, just straight ahead Rock N Roll with lyrics you can understand and relate to.

Just flashed back to seeing HLN live many times. At the end of the concert he would say "I'm Huey Lewis and once again you have just heard the News". PS... the horns back in the 80s was the Tower of Power horn section.

When we were kids I remember seeing Back To The Future in theaters, it was a massive movie hit. I was 13…and Huey Lewis was pretty huge….even when I got into high school my friends and I still jammed to all their stuff and I hung out with the rockers and metal heads, but back in the day most kids were open to a lot more genres, at least where i grew up. We used to crank Huey up in the car when I went out with my gf. Good times!

You're right when you say, "Huey's a fun guy!" He peaked when music videos were also at the peak. The most "fun" music video in the world is "Doing it all for my baby." Just fun from beginning to end.

I was in college when this album came out, and there was this very attractive young lady who was a pastor’s daughter and attended (?) classes at our college and lived nearby. She drove a white Camaro Berlinetta, and more than a couple times stopped at the bus stop and gave me a ride to class or back to my dorm. I know the other guys were impressed, but what I remember most was this specific song (“I Want A New Drug”) coming on her radio 3 times in a row when she picked me up. I took it as a sign and bought the album and played it to death-and I have the memory of Gail the pastor’s daughter in her white Camaro every time I hear it.

It was so great growing up in this era, I can remember being a teenager, riding home on the school bus, jamming to all of the great music from the 80's, Love, Love, Love!! Your also right that you don't hear this kind of music anymore.

When this song first came out. My mother would not let me listen to it or buy the album. She thought it was about drugs. I had to make her sit down and listen to the lyrics and explain to her that it was not about drugs it was about the feeling he felt when he was with his girl.

Marty's joke in BTTF was that the 1950's audience wasn't ready for his 1980's Eddie Van Halen-like guitar soloing over Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode." But, as some have already mentioned, that WAS Huey telling Marty his music was "too darn loud" (while The Pinheads were playing Huey's own song, "The Power of Love").

I was a huge Huey Lewis fan back in the mid 80s when this came out. I remember being 15 years old and hanging out with my friends at the beach and you heard this everywhere. His style was a great mix of the older 50s rock N roll with the newer energy of early 80s rock.

Back when this came out, Huey and the guys are at Red Rocks. This song was super popular. So the band is bumpin the vamp of this song and Huey is talking to the audience Quote during the vamp “Oh okay I know you heard this song on your alarm this morning…I know you heard it driving in to work. You probably heard this song at work or walking down the street…You might’ve heard this song driving up to the concert. Look I bet you might be kind of sick of this song. We understand. We play this song at every show. We rehearsed it nursed it recorded it, practiced it. We understand that you might have heard this song one too many times……imagine how WE feel about this song. So if you don’t mind we’re gonna try to play it…one…more …..time.We are gonna try to muster up some energy”. You get the point. AND THEN. They ROAR-into it like it was the first time they played it! Like it was the first time we ever heard it! They tore up RED ROCKS with this song. WOW! That’s when I realized what it means to be a real musician that you can get up there and knock it out of the park even though you played it hundreds of times and it’s gonna sound fresh like you never heard it before that’s what a real musician is and that’s what Huey Lewis and the News is all about!

I have a lot of respect for Huey. I don’t know him of course but I saw a documentary about him & the band. Him mostly. When he was 17 or 18 his dad encouraged him to travel before college. So he went backpacking across Europe for a while. Later when he formed the band things didn’t exactly pan out and the manager kinda forced him to fire the original bass player because the manager felt he was dragging down the band. Against his better judgment he fired the guy & felt horrible. The band still didn’t rise like the manager or the band wanted and the manager felt someone else was dragging them down and wanted Huey to fire someone else. Huey said he wouldn’t fire anyone else because they were a team and they would either make it or fail together because one band member isn’t better than the other. So the band stayed as is and if I remember correctly the manager quit and Huey took over things and they began to pick up to what we now know as HL& the news. Each of the band members admitted that individually they weren’t that good of musicians but together they were decent. Lol Huey has a lot of life experiences from a young age all w the encouragement from his father. If you’d like to know more the documentary is really good. It’s been so long I don’t exactly remember the name but it’ll be easy to find.

Always love the horns in a band and the News are great. Saw them live in the mid 80s at the height of their popularity. Crazy good show...Huey plays the harmonica too.

I still have my Huey Lewis 45's lol! This song always cracked us stoners up lol!

I agree with the sentiments from others- the whole sports album is amazing. I saw them in the early 90s and he was still killing it.

Loved seeing Huey and the News in concert, great shows from a killer band

One of the most overlooked yet massively influential to the culture & to rock n roll. He blended so much sound from rock n roll, jazz, blues, & pop that we hadnt heard before. Plus his voice is iconic & one of a kind. You know who it is without even seeing him.

As the B-52s, Huey Lewis And The News is a group that wasn't intended to become a signed group with a label. They played bars for fun and one thing led to another... and BANG!!

First time I heard Huey Newton and the News was in the early 1980s. After the mind-numbing sameness of the music during the disco era, Huey made me sit up and exclaim "The heart of rock and roll IS still beating! Thank GOD, real rock is back!!"

I have seen Huey Lewis and the News three times in concert! It is always amazing watching them on stage!!

Saw these guys back in '87 at Madison Square Garden with my wife and two other couples... great show. We had seats up close to the stage but off to the side, and Huey made sure he spent a good bit of time over there entertaining us. They were touring then with the Tower of Power Horns, which added even more punch to the performance. It was a very fun night.

You could do "Back in Time", "Bad is Bad", "Doing it all for my Baby", "Hip to be Square", "If This is it", "Stuck with You", "Walking on a Thin Line" and "Working for a Living". You could also now do Weird Al's parody of this song, "I Want a New Duck".

Seen them in concert couple years ago. Sounded just as good live.. amazing

Yeah! Yeah! I just LOVED this when I first heard it (several centuries ago). Great band who cornered the world's stockpile of groove, funk, syncopation and feel for a magical moment. Musicians who are at the top of their game and pushing every other contender off that tiny space at the summit. Lyrics by a relative of William Shakespeare. And all put together by a bunch of guys who are having so much (maybe too much?) fun. Because, as a great man once said, "if it ain't fun, what's the point?" I was not a raving fan of HLATN, but this was just so goddam clever. Impossible to listen to without getting up and dancing (like nobody's watching).

Huey Lewis and the News was one of my favorite concerts. Great rock and roll band.

**** Huey Lewis not only sang the title song to Back To the Future (that you recently watched), but in the movie he plays the teacher with the bullhorn that turns down McFly's band when they are auditioning to play at school.

This may be their funnest song of all. Gotta love it! A brief anecdote - Huey and the band got in a little trouble with parents and other uptight types with the title of this song. I remember the backlash in the news that the band was "promoting drugs" to young people. Totally misinterpreted - what a laugh! I suggest trying "Jacob's Ladder," "Walking on a Thin Line," and "I Know What I Like" next - all fantastic songs.

Guys, a lot of these older bands are still touring. My daughter was just I. Philly this past weekend to see Joan Jett, Poison, Motley Crew and Def Leopard....7 hrs. of 80's music. They were exhausted from having such a great time. You've gotta catch them touring before they retire.

We saw them on the 80s Cruise! You had to line up before the concert. I went really early, I think like 2 1/2 hours before the concert. We got second row! I put my hand out to Huey (I was hoping he would give me a high five). He grabbed my hand! I was in total shock! Lol It was the highlight of the cruise for me! It was the first one in 2016. I saw him in concert way back in the day. They were awesome, then and now.

I recently heard that Huey Lewis was having trouble on stage at concerts. We are starting to lose great singers like Lewis. It’s looking like Phil Collins may have to call it a career for some of the difficulties he’s been challenged with. But if Lewis is able to champion through his challenges and get back on stage then if you’re able - do go check them out. Otherwise, you might be stuck finding live performances on KZread or wherever they can be found.

I'd say the next ones to be on the reaction channel should include "Heart And Soul," "Hip To Be Square" and "If This Is It" Their music videos are always a must, so much fun. Personal favorite (hard to choose, but I'm going for it) is "Hip To Be Square"s music video, just because it's a total vibe of goofiness and seriously feels like the camera crew was out to lunch and Huey & the guys were just like, "I know what we should do while they're gone!" And just recorded it themselves lol (obviously not, but that's just how wacky & fun these videos are) Can't wait for more!

Such good lyrics 😂 “…. one that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you.”

From the same album is the song, Bad Is Bad... guaranteed to make you smile and give uou a chuckle. It's funny, bluesy and the words, Bad Is Bad will be swirling in your head for days. Please give it a listen.

Such an underrated band. 'Power of Love' is the one song of theirs that everyone knows but they have so many great songs. 'It's hip to he square' is a great song for you to check out. Please check out a band called Thunder - Dirty Love, you'll love it 👍

Check out the Retrowave movement in music if you really do want a modern take on this fun 80's music! The Midnight is the perfect gateway into this music, check out songs like "Jason", "Sunset" and their newest song released about 15 days ago called "Heartbeat" It's a very good modern take on the old 80's synths and guitars. I think you both would find things you like in this new Genre. ALSO... Fun Fact: Huey Lewis was approached by the makers of "Ghostbusters" to create a theme for the movie. He turned them down as he was working on a song for Back to the Future (The Power of Love). the Ghostbusters crew then hired someone else to create the theme and they wanted it in the style of Huey Lewis & The News. We got the famous "If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!" Sing it to the intro of this song and you'll quickly find out why Huey Lewis won a lawsuit against the film's production company LOL.

@@BobbyCYeah just sought out a clip of this song, and I honestly can't disagree. Thanks, just learned something.

One of the best concerts- amazing energy, raw talent, great audience interaction, no smoke mirrors gimmicky outfits- just great fun music!!!

Seen them live at least a dozen times, one of my favs. Avid concert goer since 10th grade. 250 plus live shows. Wouldn't trade growing up in the 70's for anything. GREAT MUSIC!

Loved Huey Lewis and the News. I was lucky to see the band live. They were so good. Guitar in this song is so in your face and understated at the same time. Great stuff. I'd love to see you guys revisit INXS- What You Need, live at Wembley in 91 and Duran Duran- Save a Prayer for mellow or Wild Boys for ...not. 😬

Great job guys. Can u please react to STUCK WITH YOU by huey lewis please please

Huey Lewis always makes me smile. What a great, fun song, with great musicians. They have so many hits! And, oh, you guys make me smile.

I got 3 cassettes with my first boom box. Huey Lewis and the News: Sports (the album with this song), John Cougar Mellencamp: Scarecrow and Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms. Huey Lewis was the mid 80s radio vibe.
