Story of Huey Lewis and the News

Hailing from San Francisco, Huey Lewis and the News exploded onto the music scene in the 1980s, becoming one of the era`s defining acts. Their infectious blend of blue-eyed soul, new wave, power pop, and roots rock, drawing heavily from classic pop, R&B, and doo-wop influences, yielded a remarkable nineteen top ten singles across the Billboard Hot 100, Adult Contemporary, and Mainstream Rock charts.

While their early albums garnered critical acclaim, showcasing Huey Lewiss undeniable charisma, it was 1983s Sports that propelled them to global stardom. Fueled by extensive MTV airplay, Sports became a phenomenal success. The albums impact was amplified by "The Power of Love," featured in the blockbuster film *Back to the Future*. This iconic track hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned an Academy Award nomination. Further cementing their reign, their 1986 album *Fore!* delivered two more chart-topping hits: "Stuck with You" and "Jacobs Ladder." Their string of 80s top ten hits also included classics like "Do You Believe in Love," "Heart and Soul," "I Want a New Drug," "The Heart of Rock & Roll," "If This Is It," "Hip to Be Square," "I Know What I Like," "Doing It All for My Baby," and "Perfect World," solidifying their place in music history.
