[@sharis9095]

How old do I feel watching this... these guys played at my high school graduation...lol.

[@7Earthsky]

Wow...That's so cool....They were the first band i ever saw and none other quite like them.

[@7Earthsky]

Back in the day they were an amazing live band.....Very tight band indeed and packed with talent every one of them.

[@cathygravino9189]

Huey Lewis always sang like he was having more fun than anyone else. Always very entertaining and energetic 😊😊

[@coocoocachooglin]

We just got back from touring Graceland and Sun Studios last weekend, so I enjoyed seeing Elvis again!

[@hibhibb5429]

Huey Lewis has such an amazing voice and sound!! Sadly, Huey has Meniere's disease and is losing his hearing. It's so sad because I love his singing. Wish they could still put new music out. They have an Awesome catalog of songs that I hope you will check out. The Harmonica kicks butt too!! These guys Rock!! Love Love Love them!!

[@kellykonoske91]

Of COURSE its F$%&NG Rock and Roll !!!!

[@harpergras]

Another song you will like by this group is " Bad Is Bad ".

[@norsetech9416]

Awsome band. And funny videos 🙂

[@bkm2797]

Always makes me smile hearing Huey Lewis and the News, upbeat and just so much fun! Thanks Harri

[@oldguyespo640]

I can't count the number of times I saw HL&DN at Toad's Place in New Haven, CT. Always a great show. Watch "Back To The Future" to see him act as a staff member that decides what music will be played at the Under the Sea dance...

[@arnoldcox9128]

A good mix of different styles, but it still had that aggression

[@spawn4582]

Funny video, funny song, HUEY LEWIS is always like this 😅❤

[@marybaillie8907]

From their 1984 album "Sports" this was a hit for the band, making it to Number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100's. The message of the song is Rock and Roll is everywhere, not just Los Angeles or New York. Just a great melody and great sax solo with Huey's so enjoyable vocals. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Jami. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@kellyhoward6941]

I was in my 20s when he/they were big, & just loved 'em! Great choice! I love your analysis of the old-time R&R living on in many forms --I've been listening to this song for decades & didn't grok that. You rock, blessing to you!

[@Imadrummin]

Huey Lewis & The News has to be one of my all time favorite bands. I loved how much fun these guys had in concert. I was fortunate enough to see them three times. Yes, I own every album they released. Or that I know of. Thanks Harri and Jami A. 👍👍👍

[@Lionize728]

Rock and roll is on life support today. Never thought I'd see it.

[@laureliechapman1267]

Huey Lewis and the News are a genre all by itself

[@chetstevensq]

One of he bands that made MTV an instant success. Their videos were among the best of the early wave.

[@clemson1889]

Saw him in concert! Incredible live ❤❤

[@rickward460]

As always Harri👍👍 As a Veteran I ask that you check out... "Walkin' on a thin line." Spread the love Brother 🐶😎🇺🇸

[@jackiesconiers4230]

Great reaction! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

[@tahoebabe8939]

Another must is Hip to be Square great song. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert so much energy so much fun love Huey Lewis.

[@scottchapin2323]

Just a fun song from a great band. Huey was big in the 80's, so much so, he even had a cameo in the movie "BACK to the Future".

[@johnbember3425]

I saw an interview with Huey Lewis on a podcast recently and sadly he has lost his hearing. He can still make out speech but he said musical notes now just sound like noise. Great band with an awesome catalogue of hits.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

It's 80's Rock n Roll...

[@blade3184]

As you might think when he did this song in concert, the point in the song where he yells “Detroit”, he would substitute the name of the city he was in knowing the crowd would cheer wildly for their town.

[@themusicboxx8419]

Straight up 80's Fun Rock! Back when MTV was worth watching. Thanks for the flashback! ✌

[@thedocofrock1890]

anyone that loves huey needs to watch the movie 'duets' also with paul giamatti in one of his best roles. huey plays a hustler on the karaoke contest circuit - coming in as an unknown and blowing everyone off the stage and winning the competitions. andre braugher is a tragic character who hooks up with giamatti and insanity ensues. an underrated flick that really needs to be seen. 5 stars

[@bradsense7431]

That the one with Gwyenth Paltrow right? They did a duet together for the movie that got good airplay. Forgot the name.

[@thedocofrock1890]

@@bradsense7431 yes that was the movie - duets. loved huey in that role

[@floorticket]

Yeah, they had a plan. R&B based, radio-friendly songs, synthesizers, skinny ties and sax solos. Huey Lewis and the News are on the short list of my favorite San Francisco bands after The Grateful Dead. Journey, The Tubes, Santana, CCR, etc.

[@vrvaughn]

One of the best live bands I’ve seen… right up there with the J Geils Band

[@cr16219]

Super reaction, Harri.

[@lorijones9579]

This song is great fun, and Huey is a doll.

[@wgdavis5353]

Hi Mr. Harri, I love Mr. Huey; did U know he was studio Harmonica player, he is on a lot of songs.. ♠W.G.

[@DanielVolk-jm4nt]

Fantastic pick Jami. Great reaction Harri. A real rocker. 🙃👍🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴

[@ronbrown912]

I saw Huey in concert at the height of his fame in the mid-80s. Great music, great horns, and Huey did an encore with just him and his harmonica. It was a great evening of fun.

[@GorillasAndGardens]

My first concert! So good! 1986. I took my kids to see them in 2017. Most fun I’ve ever had at a concert.

[@bradsense7431]

This has parts that sound ever similar to fifties style rock and roll. He pines for that sound - the heart. Eight sounds were getting far from that early sound. If you were attending concerts in mid to late eighties you likely saw Huey Lewis he played everywhere. Saw him three times myself. The oddest place being in Houston 1989 on top of a section of highway overpass that the authorities were celebrating it’s completion by having a Huey Lewis free concert there.

[@davebzen795]

Jami A - This Huey classic is excellent submission. Huey Lewis and The News is, in my opinion, one of the greatest Rock bands. "The Heart of Rock and Roll"...couldn't have come up with a better descriptor for them. Awesome review, Harri!

[@lynnie6633]

The band was a hit machine and they ruled the air waves for a long time. I saw them in their heyday and it was fantastic!!

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Their album "SPORTS" IS GREAT!!!!

[@cindyp1033]

His videos just make you smile ❤😊❤

[@markoehler2752]

It’s a throwback to old rock & roll, real rock & roll.

[@carollittle9739]

Loved sll their music!

[@billydavis6798]

I think they are referring to early rock & roll 50,s.

[@Lakeshore14]

Huey Lewis always had great videos. Thanks for this. Really enjoyed it. 👏👏

[@reneerocha1796]

Well alright!!!!!!!!❤😊Huey Lewis is the bomb!

[@howardhales6325]

Yeah, it's a song about rock n roll that isn't really a rock song itself. Kind of like "It's Still Rock n Roll to Me" by Billy Joel.

[@loisrogers9042]

Love this band! Always a good time. So sad that he's no longer singing 😢

[@dsusan17]

Great reaction Harri!

[@steelcards1969]

Check out his song naturally

[@KwisatzHaderach77]

That's dead on you nailed it at 2:15, well deduced; The Heart of Rock and Roll is still beating, even through the absurdity of the over stylized New York Music Scene they were making fun of in the verse before the chorus.

[@keithbrown7685]

That's alright stuff! Hewey and the boys, they know what they're talking about. Hewey Lewis was/is one of my music heros. In the midst of other tunes by other people, going in a certain musical direction that I didn't like, Hewey and co. came to the rescue, to remind me that some acts were still playing music that was alive.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great group from the 80's-90's. 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," "If This Is It", "Stuck With You", "Jacob's Ladder," "Hip To Be Square" etc.

[@MollieC-uc1fk]

Huey did a lot of the music for the Back to the Future movies so check those out, very memorable. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXfLnqNrir-ml80

[@Hobodeluxe960]

in the beginning there was soul, and soul begat the blues, the blues begat rock and roll, jazz, r&b

[@keithbrown7685]

Jazz came first. It goes way back, so I read, to 1917, and it may have even deeper roots than that.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

@@keithbrown7685 a recording of Memphis Blues was made in 1912

[@keithbrown7685]

@@Hobodeluxe960 I think I have to stand corrected. Thanks for the reply.

[@chrismcdonagh688]

There isn't a bad track on the Sports album.

[@lindaartz3297]

It is so sad he can no longer play because of a debilitating hearing loss.

[@gregfarmer707]

Sorry but this is Rock.

[@keithbrown7685]

Sorry but you're nitpicking. It's kindof like what Harri said, to do with RnR DNA.

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

Not funk. Where do you hear funk?

[@Leon_der_Luftige]

The guitar riffs for example.

[@phantomcollector1976]

EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME
