First time hearing Huey Lewis and the News "The Power of Love" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

It's very hard not to think of "Back To The Future" whenever this song starts playing.

[@Pixelologist]

Inextricably intertwined! lol

[@nathansnider6525]

Exactly what I was thinking bro!

[@jessepinkman7349]

Yep. While I hear it I can still see the opening scene with Marty on his skateboard being pulled by a blue pickup truck and Jeep through the town. Some of my best memories as a kid in the eighties.

[@chrisM33]

@@jessepinkman7349 Huey Lewis was in the film to playing the music teacher i believe.

[@jessepinkman7349]

@@chrisM33 Yes he was. With his bullhorn. “I'm afraid you're just too darn loud .”

[@bradsullivan2495]

"Workin' for a Living'" "I Want a New Drug" "The Heart of Rock and Roll" "If This is It" "Hip to Be Square" are some of his biggest hits.

You’ve got good taste my friend 👌🏻

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

My favorite is "Jacobs ladder".

[@clemigula4228]

In my opinion, these boys never made a bad song. Underrated at this point in time for sure!

[@bkm2797]

But when Huey Lewis and the News hit the waves, their songs shot up the charts. Great song!

[@RyleighsMomma09]

They were one of my favorites for sure

[@orangeandblackattack]

completely agree. I never turn off a Huey tune

[@lorireece1970]

Soooo drastically underrated!

[@sallysharp3845]

Their album "Sports" was huge when it came out in 1983. It has one banger after another. Check out their songs "Heart Of Rock And Roll" and "I Want A New Drug".

[@caioviniciussilveira7426]

American Psycho vibes while reading this comment

[@darrenhelmond8719]

@@AppalachiaRRlover I still play my LP of Sports (from my sister) - GREAT album!!

[@madicelander]

You guys actually have heard him before, you just didnt know it. If ya'll remember...Huey Lewis was one of the singers on USA for Africa's We Are The World collaboration. He sang right before Cindy Lauper, which is a funny coincidence since ya'll just reacted to her before this. Great reaction guys.

[@nodoubt46able]

yep

[@xidada666]

They're far to stupid to make such connections.

[@healthhealingandhappinessw6060]

Growing up in the 80s was just magic. And bands like this contributed a lot to that said magic!

[@orangeandblackattack]

It really was. I tell my parents that we had just as a great generation of music as they did. At least within 2%. And proof is in the airwaves. Stations still play the 80s all day.

[@richardderrick3549]

I am a songwriter and I can tell you, this a complete song all around, got it all, lyrics, beat, neat bridge, driving drums and a good message, and well recorded, of course!

[@softshallow7435]

This song was used in the Back To The Future trilogy of films starring Michael J. Fox.

[@0okamino]

Just too darn loud. 😉

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Just the first movie though

[@marcusmorris6376]

@@TheBeatenPaths that’s not true. It was playing on Needles truck radio in Part III.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great group from the 80's-90's. This song "Power Of Love" is from the 1985 movie "Back To The Future". They had a lot of great hits such as "Do You Believe In Love", "Workin' For A Livin'", "Heart & Soul", "I Want A New Drug," "The Heart Of Rock & Roll," "If This Is It", "Stuck With You", "Jacob's Ladder," "Hip to Be Square" etc.

Love Huey Lewis and the News!! I saw them back in 1984 and Stevie Ray Vaughn opened up for them! Such an incredible show and for the encore Stevie came back out and they had a jam session! Great Memories! Keep On Rockin'

[@meowteeth1369]

Same lol ! I still have the newspaper clipping and ticket. Fantastic show! My hubby was jealous that I saw Stevie perform back in the day.

[@teri7398]

Loved Huey's voice. Saw him and the group at the Los Angeles County Fair (in California) after their hey day. They still played great and Huey sang great!

[@brianhancock4865]

If you’re wanting to listen to the best song Huey Lewis has in his catalogue (in my opinion) then crank up “Do you believe in Love?” - his first big radio hit.

[@willfromyadkinville]

100%

[@orangeandblackattack]

YES! that was the one I remember first hearing and thought "Who the f%#$$ is that? It's awesome!"

[@valerie..839]

Such a great band. They broke in the early '80s and had a heck of a run through the '80s and on into the '90s. Check out their breakout single "Do You Believe In Love," "Workin' for A Living," "Heart and Soul," "I Want A New Drug," "The Heart of Rock & Roll," "Stuck with You," and "Hip to Be Square." Everyone of them is just great.

[@midnightblue6668]

Huey Lewis & The News are great! I was blessed to grow up in the beginning of the MTV video glory days! You should do the official videos of "If This Is It" and "Heart of Rock & Roll"! I'd love that nostalgia bomb!

[@feardabrood]

This song instantly makes me think of my all time favorite movie Back To The Future. Its in the movie and it immediately associates to it for me.

[@GenX4ever]

They wrote some seriously good songs. I highly recommend exploring more of their catalog. ⚡️🤟⚡️

[@robtaylor5550]

The News being a Bay area band, they were super-tight with the San Francisco 49ers. So much so that Niner stars Joe Montana, Dwight Clark, Ronnie Lott & others can be heard contributing backing vocals on the songs Hip To Be Square, I Know What I Like, and Couple Days Off. The band even got to travel on the team plane to a Superbowl once! Like Joe Montana himself, Huey Lewis and the News were the epitome of cool back in the '80s. Huey & company were often invited to sing the national anthem before major sporting events at Candlestick Park. Their a capella rendition was fantastic and worth checking out!

[@carlosconesa]

Huey's voice at his prime is so good.

[@deltabravo287]

Man- Dude was ALL OVER Radio in the 80’s. So many hits.

[@jamesmcdaniel9601]

Ok, Huey Lewis and the News is one of the greatest groups ever!! I've asked other reaction pages to react to a song and so far all I've gotten in return is crickets. Their song "Walking On A Thin Line" is probably the greatest under appreciated song of all time. It's about the plight of the Vietnam Vets when they returned to the States. Please do a reaction to it.

[@gafre2757]

You two are brilliant..you give the best reactions, so genuine.. Thank you..

[@ColourboxNow]

My favourite Huey and the News is "I Want A New Drug" It really rocks.

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks guys! LOVE this song! Huey used to end his shows with this song and express his gratitude to Steven Spielberg for asking him to write a song for BACK TO THE FUTURE... this is the result! The movie and this song were ROCKETED to the top of the charts!

[@americanaforever6725]

“Heart and Soul” and “ Heart of Rock and Roll “

[@hibhibb5429]

Huey has a huge awesome catalog. Check them out. "Bad is Bad", "Workin' for a Livin'", "Heart and Soul", "Walking on a thin line", "I Want a New Drug", "The Heart of Rock and Roll", "If This is It", "Hip to Be Square", "Doing it all for my baby", "It hit me like a hammer".

Well now you just have to go down a Huey Lewis and the News rabbit hole. Huey Lewis along with Cyndi lauper and pretty much anyone that sang on we are the world are part of the soundtrack of my childhood. As far as Huey pretty much anything that comes up in the top searches for him will be a great song.

This is the theme song to the back to the future franchise. Great song!!

[@charlesf2804]

I was never sure whether what sounded like horns were horns or keyboards. then I noted that, except for a sax, there were no horns in the band. Those "horns" are keyboards, I'm quite sure. Also, Huey Lewis & The News performed this at the Oscars; the song was nominated for "Best Song." that year, as it was in "Back to the Future.". Was that 1985?

[@donnamiley6778]

They have some really good songs. Do some more!

[@natecloe8535]

I LOVE this song. And the fact it's from Back to the Future is only a small part of the reason why. There's a music video with the singer talking about "it took longer than we expected but Hollywood finally came calling. This one's in a new movie coming out called Back to the Future. Let's hope it's a good movie." One of the most "and the rest is history" lines in music.

[@davidavi8554]

I miss the simplicity of life in the 80's, great music, women were willing to give out their phone numbers , and gasoline was about ,95C a gallon.

[@thomasmcdonough6642]

[@JPMadden]

I was a teenager in the '80s (born 1970), and by about 1986 I had started getting into classic rock, because so much of the "Top 40" music from then was awful. But Huey Lewis and the News were good then and they still are today.

[@debbiel.1655]

watch them in action in the video of "Heart of Rock and Roll" ..another great one from Huey Lewis

[@blizzardofodds4220]

Great song from the 80's and the interesting thing about love is that I feel its the master over all other emotions meaning love can cause all the other emotions to come out based on the environment. It can make you feel invincible and elated like your walking on air or feel total lost without direction and down when you lose it, it can evoke jealousy and anger, and at times love is one of the hardest emotions to control and deal with. Love your reaction.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Huey and the news were among the top 10 bands of the 80s, with more number 1 hits than most. STUCK TO YOU, I NEED A NEW DRUG< BAD IS BAD, JACOBS LADDER< THIS IS IT< HIP TO BE SQUARE, and many more top 10 hits from this S.F. Bay area band.

[@KD-cd2ck]

Timeline is a bit off but cool

[@guitarwhispererer]

I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

[@tinatreitler9192]

Omg.. Hewy Lewis and the News was my oldest sons fav back in the day( he's 38 now ...lol🤪) along with ZZ Top. His fav song was Heart of rock n roll. I wish I could iterate how he said the bands name and the name of the song at 2 years old...hahahahahaha!
