About Huey Lewis

With their straightforward rock & roll songs about 9-to-5 jobs and sports, San Francisco's Huey Lewis & the News became one of America's most popular pop/rock bands of the mid-'80s. Inspired equally by British pub rock and '60s R&B and rock & roll, the News had a driving, party-hearty spirit that made songs like "I Want a New Drug," "The Heart of Rock & Roll," and "The Power of Love" commercial hits. As the decade progressed, the group smoothed out their sound to appeal to the aging baby boomers who adopted them, and they remained a popular concert attraction while continuing to have radio hits on adult contemporary stations. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
