The Truth About Huey Lewis And The News

In the 1980's, there was no band as big as Huey Lewis and the News. Thanks in part to being prominently featured on the upstart music video cable network MTV, Huey Lewis and the News hit the big time in 1982 with the release of their second album, Picture This, and then became a global phenomenon thanks to the success of their third album, 1983's Sports.
With massive hits like "I Want a New Drug," "The Heart of Rock & Roll," "Hip to Be Square," and "The Power of Love," and a featured spot in the 1985 blockbuster Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox, the band literally created the soundtrack for the decade. Here's the untold truth of Huey Lewis and the News.

What's your favorite song from Huey Lewis and the News?

[@artvandelay1099]

Whole lotta lovin' off of their FORE! Album. Underrated song. Unique throwback to when Country and Rock were close together. Think Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Elvis era. Great song, acapella opening, you can hear the bass singing keyboard player throughout the whole song, harmonica solo and, great guitar. Not enough bass singers anymore. When you listen to it you can't make up your mind if it's a rock song or a country song, maybe it's kind of bluesy too. Huey Lewis and the News are a real band, they sing that song just as good live as they do on the recording. Love those guys, miss em' something awful.

Forest for the Trees is my favourite along with Trouble in Paradise live 85

Too many to name...Do you believe in Love... Stuck with you & I want a New drug

[@santanajordy7084]

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch new movies online?

Didn't even mention their album FORE!. FORE! was almost as big as Sports. Man I miss those guys. Still singing 2 or 3 a capella songs every show up until they had to stop touring. Wonderful voices. For some reason, Mario, the original bass player showed up to a show here in Michigan several years ago. It was a non smoking venue but he joined the band for a several song encore and lit up a smoke anyway. What a great show. Huey Lewis and the News with Don Felder. I'll never forget it.

I was looking for a comment like this 🤩

[@samhardy6319]

Indeed, major omission re FORE.

[@deadinthewater218]

Sports and dancing on the ceiling were the first albums I got as a gift. Sports is a greatest hits album.

[@Enevan1968]

He always is honest in interviews.

[@ApplesauceNinja]

Huey will always be among my all time favorites. I was fortunate to see them live 20 or so years ago, and it still sticks out in my mind as one of the best concerts I've ever attended. These days I chuckle when listening to their hit Workin' For a Livin' because of the line "hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent" because of obvious reasons. 😆

[@johnnyhawkins43]

I loved them in the 80s I thought they could really rock!

[@tammybranham528]

Huey I Love your Music Thank you for the Music praying for your gaining all your hearing be restored

[@mistercucknball4855]

Huey’s biggest secret: it was all just the power of love. M

[@lisakvieira9201]

Who didn't like Huey Lewis and the News!! Good old days!!😊👍

[@donnaodonnell290]

I didn't get to see them until early 2000s. But I saw them several times after that. They always put so much energy into every show I saw. I wish they could do it just one more time. They were great !

[@treffensaintjohnllc2913]

I called cues for The Huey Lewis show in Las Vegas in the year 2000. They were great to work with!

[@luciehanson6250]

Saw Clover in Sebastopol every Saturday night at Uncle Sam's. I was 15ish! Good lookin little girls got in free! Great group, great fun!

[@reneerichburg8023]

No way it was like 25 years max

[@ryanbarker4422]

Love the band hope he's ok.

[@josephlawson9950]

That the power of love

[@markjarrett9400]

Huey Lewis (Bluesy Huey Lewis) also performed with Thin Lizzy on their 1978 album 'Live and Dangerous'. This live album and Thin Lizzy are fantastic and so underrated.

[@dirgesinthedark5637]

The first album was great!

[@emilyminchew6131]

Huet and the News is my all time favorite group!

[@johnfisher2595]

Hard to watch without their music being included

[@kenrinear9239]

Great story. Huey Lewis and the News is my favorite band of all time and deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I do need to correct this story though. Picture This was the second album and opened up touring opportunites for HLN. Also, the introduction of MTV and the MUSIC VIDEO helped to vault HLN to superstrardom. The story discussed SPORTS being followed by Small World. SPORTS was followed by FORE! Hip to be Square was on the FORE! album. Both albums were huge Multi Platinum sellers. It was following FORE! that Small World was released, followed by Hard at Play and then Plan B. During this time HLN continued to tour and drew their loyal fans at numerous concert venues, mostly smaller capacity theatres which were great.

[@donnakt8549]

Huey and alike made America Great ! lets make it Great Again. But this time, lets give thanks to God and pray for all Artist .

[@nicoffee777]

Nice, very impressive. Let's see Paul Allen's video

[@SZELIX]

❤✌

[@colindowd9756]

Was it me or did I happen to miss the Fore album during the chronology??

[@donkique956]

Well, this is old news.

[@jmptor5919]

Why did you forget Fore??? It was highly popular

[@elizabethbeth9930]

Mutt lange is such a bad ass!!!!😅

[@justink7620]

Mario Cipollina’s name was terribly mispronounced.

[@amandaredd3057]

Why permit inclusion of your band in the movie but not on it's soundtrack? I don't understand... why?

[@jenh9426]

what?

[@stoney_2002]

If you listen to Huey's part in the "We Are The World" song, you can see Michael Jackson was not impressed by his singing.

[@rgs4x]

You failed to mention Mario the bass players arrest and incarnation for drugs.

[@ryangioia2358]

Hold it fellas... I’m afraid you’re too damn loud

[@darthwatson8274]

Insert Patrick Bateman quote here:

[@user-sh9du2nv5y]

The video footage does not match the chronology of events, left out lots of stuff, and as far as sucide, seriously he can still get easily laid where ever he goes even at his age.

[@Jushandsum]

Uhh... your wrong Parker sued Lewis first.

[@sallyclay1974]

Hes a retiree now! With money!

[@salsheikh4508]

Huey Lewis submitted a copy of the song to the Ghostbusters folks before the "iconic" tune was made later... Hmmm

[@jenh9426]

um no, as ray parker tells it he was told to write a bar band song..just so happens it sounds just like I want a new drug..

[@charlienorton2337]

@@jenh9426 That’s absolute bs lmao. Ghostbusters were using the song I want a new drug before ray parker’s song, then when HLN said no to ghostbusters using New Drug, ray parker made the ghostbusters song which is an obvious copy.

[@bluecent]

Herein lies the issue with KZbin. Poorly researched, incorrect pronunciation, and jumps all over the place.
