[@AngusMagnum]

The album SPORTS was like a greatest hits album. No bad songs !!

[@sputnikalgrim]

Seriously it was!

[@mspfinney]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[@michaelpalmer2149]

agreed :D

[@salbro5985]

I still have that record. But nothing to play it on...

[@razorfett147]

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically

[@greggordon1015]

Hope someone has already suggested "If This Is It" ... an under-appreciated singer and band. You've got some great music ahead of you. :)

[@joethomas1775]

That's my favorite song of theirs.

[@misskittyclub47]

I saw them in concert. I'd forgotten the joy of their music. You made this 60 year old man smile! Thank you so very much.

[@ALPHAOMEGA1500]

80's, Yes the best decade. That was a music video for MTV

[@kenlangston3451]

I can’t think of Huey Lewis and the News without thinking of two iconic movies. Back to the Future and American Psycho.

[@antoinettelopes]

Why are there copies of the style section all over the place, do you have a dog? A little chow or something?

[@ladyjane8855]

Yes! I always associate Huey Lewis and the News with the Back To The Future movies. Saw them in concert about 5 years ago and they're still great.

[@Hannsfeld]

The other thing I think of is MTV. Huey Lewis and The News was all over MTV with several music videos. Love me some Huey Lewis and The News.

[@cheebagardens1759]

Ha. I made the same comment. :)

[@marksullivan1883]

I had introduced my son to back to the future which he loves by the way all 3 of them but it was nice being able to point out in the 1st movie that that was him that sang the songs

[@chrispeek8412]

This song came out in the 80s. I think Huey Lewis is honoring the 'roots' of rock and roll from the 50s & 60s. It's like Bob Seger sings in his song - That Old Time Rock and Roll:. 'Today's music ain't got the same soul. I like that old time rock and roll. '

[@matthewdrake4385]

Nailed it.

@@matthewdrake4385 nope.

I think Huey is just saying, no matter how different it may sound, it's all just Rock'n'Roll, and that included today's variations.

[@laurabailey1054]

And now we say it about todays music

[@matthewdrake4385]

Rock and roll hasn't really been a genre since probably the 60s though. I agree totally with what Bob Seger said in the 80s about old time rock and roll. If you flip thru the radio, most of the music is pop and rap based and is disposable and will be forgotten with 5 years. Granted, you do have rock bands, but most haven't released new music in ages. The genre of classic rock gets extended more and more. What's crazy is a band like Linkin Park is now considered classic.

[@diannewertz282]

I'm so glad that today's generation is finally starting to hear CLASSIC Music. 60s, 70s, and 80s true music

[@shadowsgathered6878]

Good call on Hall & Oates. I don't think many people, including those of us who were around in the 70s and 80s, actually realize how many hits Hall & Oates had! Same goes for Billy Joel.

[@stevebarnhart8638]

Never never will rock n roll die. And thank you for helping keep it alive. People just don't know what they are missing.

[@e72882]

Truly one of the greatest 80's bands in my opinion. “Do You Believe in Love”, "Workin' for a Livin”, "Heart and Soul", "I Want a New Drug", "If This Is It", "The Power of Love", "Stuck with You", "Hip to Be Square", "Doing It All for My Baby", and "It's Alright" are all great songs to listen to. One of my favorite CDs of all time is “Time Flies…The Best of Huey Lewis & The News. I was on such a Huey Lewis kick in college in the early to mid-2000s and I played that CD to death.

[@aarontodd72]

Yes this is the rabbit hole they need to go down. They need to do all the songs you mentioned here

[@PJAvenger]

I want a new drug too. One that don't make me sleep

[@scottdonohue3379]

All you need is to go through this list to get a great look at what Huey Lewis and The News were all about. They were a very upbeat positive band that were highly underrated and these days all but forgotten. Sadly Rock N Roll is kind of dying and it’s terribly unfortunate to see.

[@moms2398]

Oh, ALL of those song! It's so sad that Huey isn't really able to sing anymore!

[@carolynmorrissey1630]

And don't forget USA for Africa

[@dess8287]

It was 1983 when *Heart Of Rock and Roll* came across our airwaves. *Huey Lewis and The News* had some good hits to boot *:I Want A New Drug, Hip To Be Square, Back In Time, Doing It All For My Baby, Power Of Love, Workin' For A Livin', Stuck You, Bad Is Bad and Do You Believe In Love* made their way to our ears. To Answer Amber's question, yeah our parents had no idea what our music was with New Wave, Alternative and Heavy Metal also The beginnings of Rap, Hip Hop. And being in my fifties now, I don't always understand the new music of today but it doesn't make it all bad. As far as Bands being Huge *Foo Fighters and Kiss* are still doing arena tours. *Love ❤️ Peace ✌️ and Happiness 😃 Y'all !!*

[@Lab-Rat]

The real kiss ended in 1980 then to say quick hello in 1996 after that done

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Definitely I want a new drug!

[@dawest767]

Well, real rock and roll was dead by the late 80s as far as I was concerned at the time. It came back to life in 1991 with grunge and alternative, but when I was a freshman in highschool in 1989 my friends and I had many conversations about how real rock and roll was dead (we didn't consider butt rock glam hair bands and heavy metal "real rock" - we were raised on our parent's 60s and 70s rock) - around that time one of the only bands that we considered still holding it together was the Black Crowes. Then slowly, first Faith No More, then a couple others, then *boom* Nirvana and Pearl Jam hit the scene, and that music changed my brain's understanding of what music was.

[@jahspromise]

I graduated HS in 1983. Best year ever!!!!!!!!!

[@steeldor]

Don’t forget Heart and Soul

[@olepreacher]

Rock and Roll Will Never Die!!!!!!!

[@aquateen77723]

How can you not smile and feel great hearing this song? One of the best bands ever assembled IMHO. Glad you guys loved it! 🕺

[@cheryljackson5659]

I absolutely LOVE Amber's spontaneous outbursts of pure joy! Huey Lewis and the News had a slew of hits and a definite sound. This was a great introduction to this band for you.

[@randybean4678]

Loved Amber's "Yaaassss" when Huey does his dt dt dt dt at the start of the final chorus. Huey Lewis and the News is one of my all-time favorites.

[@Mckatt2]

Me too I love that!

[@shawnsnow2655]

They were 3rd with #1s in the 80s only behind MJ and Hall&Oates👍

[@Jailem]

I think the point of this song was, coming out of the 70's where disco ruled a lot of people were saying that rock and roll was dead. But if you look at new genres like punk and metal you'll find the 'heart' of what rock and roll is, within them. They may look a bit different, but it's still there.

[@fordp69]

Yes. But also, I think today it feels a bit like it represents us old farts keeping it alive ;-)

[@jasoncar1469]

Was just coming here to state exactly this...it was an answer to disco.

[@jasondonovan1408]

Metal isn't new at all.

[@user-ds3vd6ie6c]

No matter what generation it is or what title you want to call it, music will never die.

[@nancythomas7980]

In my opinion, the lyrics refer to anyone & everyone who has been a fan of rock music. I’m a 70 year old woman, and the music I enjoyed as a kid, a teenager, young adult, etc. is part of my soul & spirit! So even if my health fades, my love of that music never will. That’s my interpretation. Thanks soooo much for what you’re doing to keep the music playing!! Love y’all!

[@serenenana8821]

You ARE keeping the heart of Rock and Roll Alive you two. Rob Squad Forever!!

[@bkm2797]

Really hoping you would get around to Huey Lewis and The News, growing up in the Bay Area they are a home band that made some excellent music. Hoping you will take a listen to other tunes like "Heart and Soul", "Bad is Bad", "I Want a New Drug", "If This Is It", all from the Sports album. Thanks for the upload!

[@berniemargolis4288]

This is quintessential '80s. I wore my cassette tape of the Sports album out in my car stereo.

[@cottagewitch]

I love Huey Lewis and The News! Amber will so love this rabbit hole.

[@JEREMY99218]

Me too. Huge Huey Lewis fan. 3rd thru 7th grade in Bay Area (Daly City '81-84, Hercules '84-'86)

[@ZhombieFied]

Yeah, I love a lot of Huey Lewis and the News music, but Bad is Bad is one of my favorites

[@kelliedee]

Hip To Be Square!

[@maxnorton1209]

I agree with all the Huey Lewis and The News songs in the comments, but I would also add one of their biggest hits, “I Want A New Drug”. It pops!

[@keith6485]

Huey Lewis was a great band to see in concert back in the '80s. I saw him with the Tower of Power Horns and loved it! He also had a cameo appearance in the classic movie "Back to the Future". In an early scene when "Marty's" band is auditioning for a school function, they start playing a Huey Lewis song, only to be interrupted by one of the judges to be told "It's just too loud". That judge is Huey!

[@stevekotenberg133]

Huey Lewis had a part in We are the World

[@TheDetailsMatter]

Interesting trivia: In Back To The Future, Huey Lewis plays the school admin who eliminates Marty McFly's band from auditions for the prom, saying "I'm sorry, boys, but I'm afraid you're just too darn loud."

[@jameshelm2847]

And now Huey has lost his hearing.

[@conspiracionesy]

Haha that is right

[@jscho8674]

I had forgotten about that!!!

[@susanowen1709]

The best part of that is Marty's band is playing a Huey Lewis song (Power of Love).

[@Governor1993]

Yep!

[@ronduessj]

You mentioned "USA For Africa", Huey Lewis was a part of that as well. He is the artist who has a solo and is standing next to Cindy Lauper and Kim Carnes.

[@bigwaylon]

One person that’s in there (We Are The World) is Dan Aykroyd…since they reacted to the Blue Brothers recently. John Belushi died 3 years before that song was done.

[@bonnibobb1628]

Another group that really never had a bad song. Absolutely love Huey Lewis and The News!

[@robertbuckelew7845]

The old folks are barely breathing, but the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is the beat. Meaning, that rock and roll is for the young and the old folks can't cut it. I'm 75 years young and I beg to differ. I watch your reactions every day. It comes from the heart.

[@bobr4987]

You've just opened up a deep, deep rabbit hole. At least a decade worth of hits. "It's Hip To Be Square" came out about the time of MTV. Lyrics say: " I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV". This was also the time when "Bad" became Good. So they wrote a song "Sometimes Bad Is Bad". Message delivered in a humorous way. Thanks!

[@dustinsdesertheirloomgarde5999]

Huey Lewis ruled the 80s! Great songs! Got another good 80s song for you. If you want violins and sax in one song along with beautiful vocals, you need to listen to INXS- Never Tear us Apart. The song is one of their best and been recommended a ton of times so far.

[@donstallings4276]

INXS- Lots of their songs are great. Time to dive into them.

[@dustinsdesertheirloomgarde5999]

@@donstallings4276 I totally agree. Also great are I Need you Tonight, Disappear, Beautiful Girl, Devil inside, new sensation and probably more I'm not thinking about at the moment

[@davidens8204]

INXS mysterious ways from the album Achtung Baby very good song

[@donnabruton7947]

Yes!

[@consciousbeing1188]

Second only to AC/DC... INXS are probably the greatest Australian musical export ever... Hit after hit just dominated the airwaves through the 80s and 90s... Michael Hutchence... Well what can you say?... Probably one of the most charismatic front men to ever grace a stage. There was a movie made about INXS that was approved by the remaining members too.. Awesome movie that showed a side to Hutchence that so few people ever knew. So many memories tied into their music for me.

[@MrCdnBeef]

Now imagine hearing this in a crowded, darkened room where the only light is coming from arcade games and the jukebox. The music is competing with the "wokka wokka wokka" from PacMan and the footsteps and springing noises from Donkey Kong. Sinistar is yelling "Run! Run! Run!" You flip a buddy another quarter to plug into the jukebox, just so we can hear this song again. Total vibe.

[@margarettallett762]

One of the best concerts excellent raw talent, no gimmicks, great crowd audience interaction GREAT!

[@CPny65]

Yes this is 80's, and Huey Lewis was the majority of the Back to the Future I sound track. "The power of Love", and "If this is it", are 2 others worth giving a listen.

[@kimwalker6502]

This is so 80s! YET SO TIMELESS! Try "If This is It" by Huey Lewis & The News.

[@gornhorror]

Huey Lewis and News. What a band. I saw that a few times over the years. Good ol' fashioned Rock and Roll. Great time, every time!!!

[@channonskinner50]

Huey Louis and the News is the band I've seen most, I've been to 3 concerts. Every concert started with that song. It was awesome!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I think the idea behind this, and something like Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me", was that there was always still a continuing legacy from blues and early rock and roll that carried over into newer music, even in styles like punk and metal and new wave...

[@oscaryee9493]

I agree. The same can be said about "Old Time Rock and Roll" from Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. All 3 songs are favorites of mine.

[@cnote3492]

if you go deeper, this will be one of your favorite bands, horns, piano, harmony, upbeat, fun music. Huey checks all the boxes, the whole Sports album is pure Gold.

[@scottmiller8845]

I love "Do you believe in Love"

[@traubsmuzach]

One of my VERY FAVORITE Huey Lewis and The News songs!

[@kelvinbenge6199]

They had more hits in the 80s than anyone. One of my favorite groups. Voted the group of the decade. They never took them selves to serious, just having fun.

[@b.slocumb7763]

The old artists are passing on, but their music is still alive…

[@kandymeier4082]

Great Song! Great group. If This Is It... is my favorite song.

[@MrMnmn911]

I once heard a music critic say that this song, "The Heart of Rock 'n Roll" was a great tribute to all those small cities that _"the heart" of rock 'n roll_ came from...Buddy Holly (Lubbock, Texas), Elvis (born in Tupeldo, MS, raised in Memphis, TN), Chuck Berry, (St. Louis, MO), Jerry Lee Lewis _aka_ The Big Bopper (born in Ferriday, LA, raised in norther Lousiana), Bo Diddly (born in McComb, MS, raised mostly in Chicago, IL), Little Richard (born and raised in Macon, GA). And that NY, and LA were where most of the major rock 'n roll artists went to record their records once they became famous...but, the "heart" of rock 'n roll came from small cities in the USA. That was why those great rock 'n roll artists are shown in that video and why Huey mentions those small towns in this song. And that in those cities, the "heart of rock 'n roll is still beating". The music critics last comments at the time were valid. When Huey Lewis and the News released this song, the major bands were still, mainly, coming from those small towns, not New York and Los Angeles. I enjoyed watching and hearing your reactions. And yeah, Rock 'n Roll is dead now, at least the real Rock 'n Roll. It became Rock, then Pop, with mixtures of those two genres. What exists today does not even come close to what the 50's and 60's produced. The 70's to 80's Pop was great. The 90's were pretty good, but Pop was dying. After that..."Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie", "The Music Died".

[@joiedevivre2005]

I always loved Huey Lewis - he was like the super cool dad of your best friend. It's sad that he can no longer sing because of hearing loss due to Meniere's disease. But he gave us a lot of awesome songs. I would suggest you also check out "Jacob's Ladder", "Do You Believe in Love", "I Want a New Drug", "Heart & Soul", "Power of Love" & "Walkin' on a Thin Line".

[@karenkat1111]

Yes, many great songs! "Do you believe in Love" still my favorite of theirs though. Would be a great reaction song for them!

[@joshhencik1849]

This is a great analogy. He always seemed like that cool 9 to 5 guy that just rocked out in his garage and somehow made it big. Not over the top crazy, all show 80s rockers.

[@EcclesiasticusRex]

You can’t get any more 1980s than this. Huey Lewis had a cameo in “Back to the Future.” He had songs in the soundtrack and was in We Are The World. Iconic 1980s.

[@agoodday4pi]

Huey Lewis and The News in the mid 80's were HUGE!!! Two of their albums 'Sports' and 'Fore' were insanely popular and were constantly on the airwaves. They died out towards the end of that decade, but for that period of time when they were popular, they were big!! I could give tons of songs.. Hip To Be Square, If This Is It, Do You Believe In Love, Power Of Love, I Want A New Drug, Bad Is Bad, etc, but have fun going down this rabbit hole!

[@mrkrharris]

my mom was in her mid 70's , And she Loved Huey Lewis.... He will bring you up, thats for sure.

[@FizzFop1]

I saw Huey Lewis right after he sang at the MLB All-Star Game...he open the show with an acapella version of the national anthem. He nailed it!!! Double standing ovation to start the show. It was a great concert. If you want to hear a true jam...Working for a living...one of the most exciting harmonicas I've ever heard.

[@tigerprayers2824]

LoL I went to that All Star game at Candlestick Park. I was late walking in to HL singing the Nat'l Anthem.

[@FizzFop1]

@@tigerprayers2824 I saw him two or three days later after the All Star Game...he was performing in Cleveland (Blossom Music Center)...it was his first performance after singing on national TV. Beautiful voice. Great show.

[@jimeiden2360]

Saw them at Poplar Creek. They ran out of songs to play. So asked the crowd if we minded if he jams on the harmonica for awhile. We went crazy as he did an incredible solo. Then they replayed some of their best songs for an encore. Great concert

[@patricialiedel5659]

Working for a Living! Saw him at Ravinia outside Chicago. He was terrific.

[@inspirationworks8357]

"I'm takin' what they're givin' cuz I'm workin' for a livin'" -- I quote that line often. Great song! Huey Lewis and the News are big time part of my personal soundtrack. Do You Believe in Love, The Power of Love (Back to the Future fame), If This is It... really, you cannot go wrong with them.

[@TT-js4jn]

It goes to show you guys, how perceptive he was. He's telling futuristically even though the rock and roll and all of our other cool music that you've been listening to was there and seemed it was going to stay forever, he saw it . A lot of us did but I never expected it to be so gone as it is now. Mine blower!

[@stephentodd7194]

Huey Lewis and the News, Billy Joel, and Queen are my top 3 of all time. Glad you're enjoying it!

[@billmorris8358]

Huey Lewis & and the News, are one of the best bands l have been fortunate enough to see when they did one of their rare tours of the UK. I have seen many many bands big and little, but the News have to go down as one of the best pure rock and roll/blues bands l have ever seen. Their unique style of joyful feel good music is a joy to see and hear. If you want to see a great fun video the watch ‘Stuck With You’ filmed in the Bahamas, When Huey Lewis played in my home town of Manchester, UK, my daughter who was 10 or 11 waited outside the stage door to get his autograph. The crowds pushed her up against the guard rails, and to his credit both Huey Lewis and his lead guitarist Jonny Colla spotted her getting crushed and both came to her rescue, pulled her through the rails and made sure she was alright. Needless to say, we both still love their music. So am thrilled you highlighted it, thank you. My recommendations are Stuck with you, and Working for a living.

[@DJHolte]

Love Amber's reactions. A lot of reactors are a bit stone-faced when listening to the song, then afterwards start gushing about it -- but it's a lot more fun to see that enjoyment right in the moment. Keep on rockin', guys! 🤘

[@ronnix23]

It’s funny that you mentioned We Are The World. I don’t know if you did that knowing Huey Lewis is in that video or not, but he most definitely is in it. It would be cool to see you guys listen to that again after listening to some more of the artists on it. In particular I don’t believe you’ve listened to Kim Carnes, Kenny Loggins, Sheila E, James Ingram or Jeffrey Osborn yet.

[@jsjazz12]

Sheila E is awesome. Prince helped her get started. I believe they were engaged for awhile.

[@audreyedwards2408]

Don’t forget Steve Perry!

[@user_t_o_m_i_c]

Definitely James Ingram. Since they like Linda Ronstadt already, I know they'd love their duet "Somewhere Out There."

[@louiseasmith1336]

Love Kenny Logins. Started out as Logins and Messina.

[@carlbaker7242]

So easy to identify with his forever great music.

I LOVE watching younger folks discover music I grew up with. neenr neenr neenr ..... got to see him live in concert when this came out.

[@wboyd4330]

Huey Lewis was in the We are the World video. This is sooo 80''s. I graduated in 1987. Best time ever!

[@shanehebert396]

Huey Lewis and The News were HUGE in the early 80s. Those of us who grew up during that time, HL&TN and Hall and Oats are a pretty big part of the soundtrack of our youth.

[@frandanco6289]

Hall and Oates... :)

[@millercgr]

absolutely listen to Heart and Soul by them. Huey Lewis is a really fine singer and the band is always so tight. Yes its the 80s indeed!

[@debortahwelch9298]

Saw them in concert in the 80's and had SO MUCH FUN AND MUSIC WAS GREAT!

[@lambowolf]

There was a feeling by some in the early 80s that Rock-n-Roll was dying with the introduction of the synthesizer. New Wave was in high gear. Euro Techno was on the rise. Also, the development of other studio technologies. Billy Joel's "It Still Rock and Roll To Me" touches on this topic a bit.

[@jwthiers]

When you think of Rock and Roll from the 50's and 60's you are thinking you are thinking Lead Guitar, a bass guitar, and a simple drum kit and the apex of Rock and Roll can best be heard in bands of the late 60's like The Beatles or Rolling Stones when they add an electric piano. Starting in the very late 60's and early 70's the electric piano was being replaced with a synth.This is when Rock and Roll started to morph into something not quite rock and roll anymore, but still a rock feel. Is that dying? Not really sure, because when you really listen you can still pick out the Rock Roots. By the time Huey Lewis rolled around, "the old one was barely breathing, but the heart of rock and roll was still beating..."

[@AR-un3yw]

Absolutely!! Billy Joel's "it's still rock and roll to me" was almost CPR for rock and roll ad we new it.

[@GrandCanyonTV]

The holy trinity, Old Time Rock n Rock, Still Rock n Roll to Me, Heart of Rock n Roll

[@monkeysuncle2816]

Even rock itself was becoming harder edged, with AC/DC, then into the harder bands, speed metal, death metal, thrash. HL&tN was a total throwback to the 50's style, as exemplified here. Big bands, sax, no synth. Even now, though, they don't sound all that dated- more of a timeless sound. That's why you can still listen to them and not laugh at the sound.

[@bugvswindshield]

Finally Huey and the News get some respect. This guys put on one hell ov a concert. Huge sound.....very upbeat. Highly underated.

[@richardgutierrez3829]

Rock N Roll Will Never Die

[@RodneyFreeman]

I don't know if you'll even see this message so far back in your videos. I just want to say how much I've enjoyed binge-watching y'all and taking a trip down music memory lane! It has been an awesome trip and you both are fantastic. It's great to see young people appreciate music through the generations. New subscriber, new fan!

[@d.j.starling3559]

This great song & the reaction from both of you reminded me of Brian Setzer. That's somebody you should definitely listen to. He was in the group, Stray Cats in the 80s- Rock This Town is a joy to hear- & headed The Brian Setzer Orchestra in the 90s. Their song, Jump Jive An' Wail is one of the most entertaining songs you'll ever hear. Lots of great songs from Brian in both incarnations. I promise - you guys will LOVE these songs!!

[@nicolaanne4787]

OMG, I’d forgotten about the Stray Cats, they were amazing and Jay and Amber you would 100% love them! Rock this town, Jump, jive and wail, The stray cat strut and many more. I love rockabilly💜🌈🙏🏻

[@ksera3605]

Yes!!!!

[@randygibson318]

I saw Stray Cats back when they first came out at Royal Oak music theater in Royal Oak ,Mi !! Setzer is awesome and under appreciated.

[@kenf3539]

YES! Start with the Brian Setzer Orchestra doing "Jump Jive an' Wail" and go from there. The band had a great tagline "Five saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones, piano, bass, drums, and one very electric guitar"

[@jscho8674]

Oooo! Great recommendation!!!!!

[@missd9785]

Great song choice! Thanks for this🙏 Huey Lewis and The News have a lot of great hits to react to especially from the 80s. Power of Love is probably one of their biggest. They're also amazing singing the national anthem. Great rock & roll is still out there even tho may feel throughout different trends it seems to take a back seat-- the heart is still beating💙 POWER OF LOVE HIP TO BE SQUARE I WANT A NEW DRUG

[@lisamcbride8921]

Glad you have gone down the Huey Lewis rabbit hole! ❤

[@martyb5807]

Oh I really LOVE Huey Lewis.

[@missieyong9063]

Huey Lewis & the News was basically a “bar band” that made it big‼️And deservedly so. I saw them in concert & they somehow made it feel like the intimate experience of jamming in a much smaller venue. Others have mentioned some of their other hits. I’m in agreement you definitely should react to any of those. Love this band.

I regret to this day that I had tickets to see them, in the early 80s, but I was sick that day. I was never in the right place again and now it's too late. 🤩😍 😢

[@heidiwelling5810]

When I saw them they had the Tower of Power horn section with them! It was a great concert!

[@LuvPotter]

They where my very first Concert. It was Amazing

[@scottski51]

The guy in white, scootin' across the stage with his guitar, near the end of the song, appears to be none other than the Legend himself... Chuck Berry!

[@louiseasmith1336]

And Elvis.

[@katerailey524]

I was going to make the same. That stepping he was doing while holding the guitar perpendicular to his body is trademark Berry!

[@milwaukeejt]

That was definitely Chuck Berry, doing his trademark "duck walk."

[@katerailey524]

@@milwaukeejt That's it! I couldn't remember what it was called. Thanks😀

[@TimKCSportsFan]

Chuck Berry is the God of Rock.

Rock Amber Rock…you rock when you hear real rock. Love your reactions and enthusiasm.

[@sonnymontigny4733]

These guys just pumped out the hits in the 80's!! Great band!! 🎸💪Yes! They were an 80's band!

[@ErichH68]

When Huey Lewis presented the “Sports” Album to his record company they told him that they thought nearly all those songs were potential hits.

[@26shedan]

I cannot wait for you to do "We are the World" again!!!! Huey Lewis is in it!

[@kennethflores7075]

Berry and Presley at the end...fabulous!

[@pennynolan7597]

You guys have proved that " the heart of rock and roll IS still beating!!!!!

[@dusty3913]

The "barely breathin'" line is just referencing the age of the originators of rock n roll. Artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis, etc. But, despite their age, their LEGACY-which is the SPIRIT of rock n roll lives on everywhere. Different clothes, different musical approaches, but same attitude and spirit.

[@ronstewart6362]

Most underrated band of the 80s.

[@kimberlyianaro3774]

It is the 80's. This was right after disco got big. And disco fizzled out. Rock will never die especially with young people like you two around. Thanx!!!

[@kathenavarro6850]

I love Huey!! I've seen him in concert 5 times! He does not disappoint. I love their acapella stuff. Every concert he does it!

[@katrinacash6393]

Now you will recognize Huey when he sings in the “We Are The World” video!

[@larrywt656]

This is VERY DEFINITELY 80s. Huey Lewis & The News was my favorite 80s group. They had MANY BIG hits in the 80s. I even got to see them live on my 21st birthday in 1985. Their third album, Sports, which this song is from, is one of the biggest selling albums of all time. This is from 1983.

[@gandalfshakur8235]

Probably the most unique sounding of all 80s recorded pop/music. Huey himself TRULY one of a kind and the band itself equally so.

[@springfieldprogressive8951]

The Rock and Roll Hall Fame is in Cleveland by the way.

[@tombanaski3251]

True story: Huey Lewis learned to play harmonica backpacking around Europe. Also sadly he has lost the hearing in at least one ear if not both-but his was a voice (and this album specifically) that for me was in the soundtrack to my freshman year of college 1983/84.

[@TheBarkinFrog]

He has Meniere’s disease. I have it too. The hearing loss is remitting. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being deaf as a post, and 10 being "normal" you might be a 5 one day, and a 2 the next. The hearing loss is bad, but the "drop attacks" of vertigo are the worst. Some days I have to hang on with both hands to keep from falling off the floor.

[@tombanaski3251]

@@TheBarkinFrog wow sorry to hear it. I believe he mentioned the disease but didn’t give as much detail as you did in what I read. Truly sad-and it must be really rough for anyone afflicted with it.

[@SweetThing]

@@tombanaski3251 - yes, I have Meniere's disease too and sadly Huey can't hear enough out of his ears to hear his own pitch.. so his singing days are over. Yes, the vertigo is terrible and it affects your quality of life. There is no cure for it.

[@mangerinegirl]

Oh man, there is so much to get into with Huey Lewis & the News. You guys will absolutely love them, I don’t think they have any bad songs. Their album Sports had so many top ten hits on it. Please check out more of this awesome band! I do think rock is pretty much dead in the current time, at least rock as I know it, and it makes me very sad. But you guys are proof that what this song says is true, the heart of rock and roll is still beating as the younger generation discovers great music from the past. If only we had songs like this on the radio these days.

[@seedub]

Favorite song by one of my top 5 artists Huey is so great

[@lawwdogg1digr]

Rock-n-Roll will never die!

[@gradyrocks]

Every song of Huey's is amazing. You can't find a bad one in the bunch

[@leehanson1416]

Huey tells you what the "Heart of R &R" is in the song; the backbeat. Bass drum on 1 and 3. One of the best bands of the '80s. Amazing musicians, and they all could just walk up to 5 microphones and harmonize in 5 parts. Deep rabbit hole, if y'all want to listen to more HL&TN. I also love how y'all got excited when the lyrics mentioned Tulsa and OKC. Y'all are my favorite Okies on YT. I'm from Texas, but I spend a fair amount of time in Oklahoma, and it feels like a second home to me. And Huey looks like your dad's bowling buddy.

[@trishahamilton5880]

I took advantage of being born in the 80's and I remember moving this video when I was little. To rewatch it, it makes me realize what an amazing 80's rock song it is...plus Huey Lewis totally had that look 😍😍😍

[@franklambert5399]

Just LOVE you guys...Music is NOT about anything but how it hits you at the time in your life. ALL music is like this...no matter the genre. Please folks....give it ALL a listen and it will open your mind!!!

[@LeannWebb61]

Huey Lewis and the News were straight up 80s. Their music was so happy and I like everything they put out.

[@jayconant3816]

This was a huge hit when it came out couldn't go anywhere with out hearing it ..mtv,car radios ,in stores , public pool, and it was awesome!!!! they had a bunch of hits including power of love that was featured in back to the future movie

[@jmiddleton7961]

Yes it was the 80s and he was number 1 on the radio. Had a song in Back to the Future movie and it sky rocketed him to the stratosphere. Huey Lewis from my state.. Indiana

[@michaelbaucom4019]

The albums " Sports " and " Fore " are pop/rock masterpieces...the album " Small World ", although not as successful commercially, is their best musically and artistically...jazz-rock that reminds you of Steely Dan, with a dash of blues. Great live too

[@madddog6790]

Patrick Bateman would agree!! :)

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Huey Lewis & the News rocked the '80's. Album "SPORTS" is excellent. The blank looks on their faces represents the Disco, Punk Rock and the New Wave era's. Rock n Roll is the fabric from which all great music stems from...including all the use of sampling for Rap or Hip Hop.

[@darlieoneeleven]

The heart of Rock and Roll will never die. Someone will always remember...

[@fuiplu]

Still gets you singing along, and tapping your toes..Rockin tune

[@franticrage73]

Definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. The sax is a staple of the group and I love that. Huey plays a mean harmonica. There are more of their videos to react to. Hope you get to them soon.

[@mypl510]

We had a 50's renaissance back in the 80's, things from the 50's where hot, and some of the current music, and Pop Culture, really touched on that trend. And yes, Rock N Roll is still alive, just not that Popular It is easier to mumble on Spotify than to actually perform with instruments!

[@Lab-Rat]

Stray Cats

[@oldgoat9227]

Saw Stray Cats open for the Stones ... liked Brian and the boys better than Mick and Keith. (Second time I saw the Stones and they had Living Colour opening - repeat of better band opening)

[@All_My_Random_Thoughts]

I saw Huey at Springfest in upstate New York back in the 80's he was the best act that day ... what a showman

[@pennythpmas5787]

Love both of your natural reactions. Don't change.❤

[@childhoodsweetheart2047]

Oh my stars you guys have to listen to more Huey Lewis!, “Do you believe in love” and “Heart and Soul” are his best ones.😊
