Huey Lewis & The News - Heart Of Rock & Roll (1983) DayOne Reacts

[@kimberlyashman9590]

Huey Lewis and the News are just a GREAT Rock N Roll Band! they epitomize the 80's.

[@etc7070]

Huey Lewis and the News are just pure, wholesome '80s rock n' roll that has that unique quality of making you smile.

April 1993, Salt Lake International Airport. I was returning to California from Sicily after a three-year assignment with the Navy, and a rare time I was traveling in uniform. In the airport snack bar line waiting to pay for breakfast I heard this very familiar voice right behind me telling the cashier he was buying breakfast for the two people ahead of him... myself and an elderly lady. I turned around to thank him, and standing there was Huey Lewis. Got to talk to him for a few minutes before he had to join his party to board his airplane. Really nice person, more interested in knowing about me and my service than about answering questions about himself.

That's cool!

[@benjaminrupe5930]

The whole Sports album is worth checking out. This song is just one of the four or five tracks that charted. Favorites include Bad Is Bad, I Want a New Drug, and Heart and Soul.

[@DanielFrost21]

Years ago, I saw Huey and his band perform with the brass section from The Tower of Power. They put on a fantastic show.

[@spedboy1966]

Another underrated Band.

[@bofusnco]

Their videos were always SOOOO FUN.

[@nickbovi]

This song is a stone cold classic, one of the very best that came out of the 80s.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

Just when many thought Doo Wop was dead. Many think of the movie Back to the Future when they hear these guys from San Fran.

[@childlessdoggentleman746]

On June 30, 1984, I was at Huey Lewis and the News' concert in Grand Rapids, MI. Huey announced to the audience that that night for the first time they had topped album charts with "Sports." That was one of the highlights of my concert life.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

I believe that was their most successful album to date?

[@childlessdoggentleman746]

@@angelomaurizio1668 That is correct. Their biggest song was "the Power of Love" from "Back to the Future."

[@scottmoquin]

I have a long time neighbor who is such a big Huey Lewis and The News fan that Huey says hi to her in the audience at his concerts and her license plate is HLN FAN.

[@bkm2797]

This was my favorite music to rip through cleaning up my apartment,Lol! Nothing made me move like Huey and The News!

[@jennastorm4785]

Back when this song was a hit, there were some modified versions of it where Huey would call out extra cities. I lived in Charlotte, NC at the time and Charlotte was one of the cities that he would call out.

[@eldenjr]

You wanna tap a foot or cut a rug, it gets no easier than with Huey and Boys! Still love this stuff even after 40 years!

[@Markrealguy51]

Like many here I’ve seen Huey in his prime in ny and he gives an energetic fun concert all the way..like have a sports athlete in a music band

[@kevinhooper3003]

Huey Lewis and the News is one of my all time favorite bands. I can still remember the lineup of cities mentioned in the song lol. Great reaction!

[@dennislee5524]

Angela, that’s a good ass song! Next should be Do You Believe In Love and If This Is It. These two songs were some of their big hits!

[@bscott5965]

When Huey and The News came to Des Moines, Huey always played my home course. Willow Creek Golf Club

[@twincams350]

Huey Lewis had a cameo in Back to the Future. He was one of the judges in the high school music talent auditions that Marty McFly competed in. Huey Lewis was the judge that told Marty his music was too loud

[@forest989]

Fun band.

[@ronstoner1823]

83 The year I graduated highschool, I got to see this concert! Great year, great song, great band, great album, great concert!

[@davidbronstein2745]

The "Big Eighties" -- Bold, fun, upbeat, fast, clean cut. Huey epitomized the best that the decade had to offer in pop culture.

[@CCTH2221-lp2zj]

“Sports” brings back incredible memories. Junior year of high school in North Jersey and “Heart Of Rock & Roll” was poppin all over NYC radio stations during football season. Great times🎼🤩

[@LenStgelais]

Saw them live in Montréal what a show it was many musicians on the stage ❤ love Huey Lewis and the news 😁👍

[@stephenhuber1219]

Huey is next to Cyndi Lauper & Kim Carnes in We Are The World

[@NotData]

My local AM station played a version of this song where Huey added Chicago and Kansas City to the vocals so that our local cities would get a shout out too.

[@Survivorguy17]

Watch the video to this song AWESOME!!!

[@Kevin-vk6tg]

Thanks day one

[@marvelharris9540]

fire

[@billgatt7816]

Boston here

[@nickrizzi4927]

Lovely to see you and enjoy the music/smiles. Thank You!

[@thomastimlin1724]

Probably the best record of the 1980's. Played it in a band, always got the people on the dance floor within seconds. Huey's on harmonica

[@hackermusic3355]

This song always reminds me of a time my wife and I were in a bar with a dance floor and a DJ but nobody was dancing. My wife said she could get people up to dance and walked up to the DJ and requested this song. She was right. Everybody got up to dance.

[@raybernal6829]

When i first started DJing weddings and parties (and the occasional HS dance) in the 80s this was a must play... Rock Pop with a dance beat 🔥🔥

[@Mittens.49]

Breaking out the dance moves. Great reaction.....

[@WeenedOnGin]

The video (it's the one with a pic of Huey in black and white) has some great snippets of vintage rockers doin' their thing, and some great sense of humor injected from Huey and the boys. I'm sure you'll get recommendations for their many hits, but maybe not this one..."Bad is Bad"

[@johnsrensen3366]

I was a huge fan back in the 80s real good rockn roll party music❤

[@Jimmydavid2018]

New fan. Love that you're enjoying music I grew up on. Like so many of your followers I have so many suggestions for you. You're a wonderful person. Bless you ❤

[@martindouglass3248]

Easy to see how they had the most group number ones and highest overall album sales in the 1980s. They’re a blast (especially live). Edit: and often times at venues with plastic seat backs, everyone will clap to the heartbeat sound on the seat in front them.

[@tonysmith-fx5mq]

Huey Lewis and the News be jammin'!!!!! When you get a chance check out "If This is it" also song by *Huey Lewis and the News and I love your reactions,your smile,your fun personality and love you content!!!! Sweet lovely Angela 🌹❤️ 💯

[@marklavor6618]

Hey Angela I remember this song I was a freshman in high school

[@pamagnolia]

Marvelous song!! 😅

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

So interesting to hear about all the different good music in the US and how it varies state to state.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

The clip fot this one is special.

[@barryhickman6911]

I've waited years to watch you react to this song! (you really need to check out the official video to this song)! Huey was HUGE in the eighties!!!! LOVED your reaction!

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Love Huey Lewis and the News. Don't know how many songs you've heard of theirs or covered on your channel. But here are a few recommendations: If This is It, Power of Love, Hip to Be Square, Stuck on You, I Want a New Drug, Heart and Soul, Bad is Bad.

[@richardingles2011]

You may have heard this group if you have ever watched "Back To The Future" with the song "The Power Of Love".

[@sf0tacticalguy]

"The oboe may be barely breathing but, the heart of rock and roll is still beating!" I love that line! It's funny to me because the oboe isn't used outside of orchestras and talking about it barely breathing is a double entendre because you use your breath to play that double reed woodwind instrument.

[@richardrodriguez2120]

Good fun music from this group. Been awhile since I've heard this song. Good choice youngin

[@Brandi6666]

That was a fun band so was the jake giles band; you’d like them too🤘❤️

[@thomastimlin1724]

Back to the Future song was "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News. Huey played the part of the teacher who said to Marty his band was too loud while auditing for the talent show. But it was Huey's own damn song...great joke for those who knew it was Huey playing that part.

[@BobKovacs]

Strangely enough, Huey Lewis & the News is kinda underrated among 1980s bands. Somehow, they were never considered "serious," although the music is great. Another great song by Huey Lewis and the band is "I Want a New Drug"... terrific lead guitar playing and the song has a good message.

[@karpatigeorges343]

👍👍

[@MARCOSIDJUNE]

🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥

[@johnsrensen3366]

More huey songs pleaaaase

[@quicktastic]

Sports was a huge album for them. Huey Lewis got to judge Marty McFly playing one of his songs in Back to the Future. :)

[@mrbill8542]

Huey never put out a bad song !!!

[@george217]

The great Clarence Clemons on Sax...

[@donaldball3245]

I like to play this song as the last half of a duet- but, first, I play "Rock and Roll is here to stay" by Danny and the Juniors (1958). I like to think that Huey is just proving Danny's point... "Rock and roll is here to stay- it will never die..."

[@charlesf2804]

If you get a chance, check out the music video. It's great! The "stutter" (dit-dit-dit) was a nod to the doo-wop of the fifties, sounds like to me.

[@soupsyz-themusicaladventur1649]

They were fun, weren't they?

[@juliovazquez7139]

Indeed young lady the was great , down load the album called "SPORTS" you will not be disappointed!

[@kevincaulder96]

Hey, Angela. This song from their Sports album was one that really helped kick the 8o's into high gear. The natural follow-up to this is I WANT A NEW DRUG. Music used to be more regional and came together to represent all of America. It still exists but not as much as in the past. Too much computer, stale, sterilized nonsense without much meaning unless you still listen to the categories that matter. Part of what was lost is the ability to communicate words, feelings, and playing instruments to convey the emotion between musicians and the audience. I see the proof on your face every time you react to the voices, the sax, harmonica,guitars, and choruses in the music. Which is what is severely lacking in today's landscape. It's really a shame. Keep going and enjoy the music.

[@stephenhuber1219]

Leonid & Friends

[@arnoldcox9128]

He never mentioned Cincinnati not even once 😅

[@stephenmelone8589]

The video is better

[@CharlesPhillips-no3sz]

This is better if you can see the video that goes with it. Same for any Huey Lewis song......not super talented, but passable for the 1980s.

[@stevetanner3019]

If you liked this one, if you haven’t done “Do You Believe In Love”, or “I Want A New Drug” by Huey. Great tunes.

[@davids2096]

Would you ever consider doing film 🎥📽️ reactions? I think you'd be successful in that as well! I hope you're done with these agonizing 80's soon! I don't know why most of that decade freaks me out! It's enignatic and confusing to me! Maybe the fakeness and the facades that were put up! I'm done! Goodbye!

[@SERGEANTROCKSHEADBANGERSBALL]

If you want 5 solos in one song, I suggest Clutch's Electric Worry. I won't tell you what they are, you'll have to just watch, listened and I promise you'll love it. Darlin, after you hear Electric Worry, 24M Views on KZbin, you're going to be hooked!🤘 😎I've been a fan of Clutch since '90 before they got signed. You want great music. Take a listen. Trust me darlin, I do SGT Rock's Headbangers Ball on Rumble and Clutch is on every show. A+ List rotation, been DJ'ing for 35 years, so I wouldn't steer you wrong!
