I’ve met him! He’s such a cool, friendly guy!
Bella, WOW...what was that like?! ABSOLUTELY LOVE Huey and the band ever since 1980 (their first album...I was 13) I'd LOVE to meet him! (its on my 'bucket list') I had, and still have some of the best times of my life listening to Huey and the News...they really need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is anyone else with me on this?....
how did you met him?
My Aunt has seen him playing at her golf course in Montana over the years.
Same; saw him on Broadway in CHICAGO - got his autograph - all on my birthday too - Just the best. Also this s/won the Oscar for Best Song
Would LOVE to meet Huey, just seems like such a coo down to Earth person. Power of Love came out in 1985, I was only 13 years old, STILL TO THIS DAY 35 YEARS LATER EVERY TIME I hear that outro in the song I get goosebumps. NEVER underestimate a GREAT song OR The Power of Love.
Hearing the song and seeing the clips of Back to the Future brings back the 1980s. The memories. The feelings. The emotions. It was a great time.
This is one of my favourite tunes from the 1980’s and also love Back to the Future (I love the entire trilogy) when I hear it on the radio I can’t help but sing the words cause it’s a damn great track
Amazing. Huey Lewis & The News are such an underrated band when it comes to 80’s Pop Music. People have seem to forgot about this amazing band.
Yes it is!
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
@@kennarajora6532 Hmm where have I seen this 🤔
So underrated. My all time favorite band hands down. My first concert was Huey Lewis &the news
That's the real power! Huey giving us the news!
The Back to the Future soundtrack is awesome.
The best concert I ever went to was Huey Lewis and the News. Still my favorite band.
Lucky enough to see them in 1986 with my best friend Brian Lewis. I'll remember that show long after I forget my own name...
This is best shit Rolling Stone does. Love it.
Loved you in the 80's and still love you today.
You are amazing.
Huey & The News....Including Chris Hayes their former lead guitarist should be in the Rock N Roll hall of fame.
Best music ever!!!
Underrated band.
Kennet Amen to that!

@@kennarajora6532 I know the quote, but Fore! was released in '86, not '87.
@@kennet7837 damn, I've been bamboozled.
@Kathrin Schwarzbach I've never heard anyone talk about them despite being commercially huge in the mid-80s.
Saw him in Anchorage Alaska great show
Hilarious that Lewis is strictly speaking in a business mentality and does not sound like the typical rock pop person. This guy is really hard core a perfection type individual. I guess this is why they sounded very professional in all their concerts.
HLN are vastly underrated.
Yes, they are!
Great song
Love it!! ❤️🤘🏼
I like “Back In Time” better, much groovier.
What a classy artist. I could listen to Huey break down the band's discography
WHY are there no Huey Lewis demo tapes in existence? I want to hear the Power of Love demo!
me too man
Great story!
HUEY!!!
Dudes member when Marty was Skitching on the back of that truck.
If only popular movies were as good as they were in 1985. I say this as someone who was born in 1986.
Клевый он мужик) спасибо им за крутую музыку. Без них фильм тоже не получился бы таким какой он есть.
Really is a great song by Huey Lewis & The News, but if you haven’t heard it, The Early November did a fantastic cover of the song as well.
you guys are awesome!
its a song I feel good feelings from. I was entertained
@2:25 he really was channeling Jeff Bridges.
These shorts with artists are really groovie R.S.
Amazing! Huey Lewis wrote The Power Of Love during a jogging with the music and the progression of Chris Hayes. After they put that song in the movie 'Back to the Future' with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. That song is a masterpièce of 1980s. The Power Of Love ( 1985) - Huey Lewis and The News.
I could swear he played Eddie the fake receptionist in Die Hard.
Spitting image.
It wasn’t him but you’re right. The resemblance was uncanny.
Huey can't write for films ? Wish he at least would've mentioned "Back In Time" and why that wasn't chosen as the single (or second single). fits perfectly with the movie so they did deliver a real BTTF theme after all ("Tell me doctor, where are we going this time".. hello ?? It's the story translated to vinyl if there ever was such a thing). it's got the Benitez Remix treatment and a promo 12" so I guess it was planned for possible release
That's the Power of Love!
Classic
🙏🏽
Don't seek Jim Rome for music insight. HE said Huey Lewis and the News sucks! I severely disagree! Look to him for sports insight. Hey...'Sports'!
I wonder why Huey didn't mention Johnny Colla, his sax player, who co-wrote this song.
He sounds like Jeff Bridges now
Dude also went to Cornell in Engineering.
If Power of Love doesn’t play when Marty is hanging onto the jeep, BTTF is a forgotten movie.
😻🎶😻🎶
Didn't chris hayes write all the lyrics??
Eddie Arevalo I read somewhere that Chris isn’t comfortable writing lyrics, so he did the music and Huey did the lyrics. Not sure where Johnny came in, because all three of them were nominated for the Oscar.
Chris wrote the lyrics to “Stuck with You” so maybe that’s what you’re thinking of.
Yeah... uh... were the pinheads
😂 he’s gone from this incredibly good looking guy to a sort of befuddled Elmer Fudd geography teacher type 😂
Huey's band played on Elvis Costello's My Aim is True before he went with the better "Attractions".
Better? How?
Rolling stone is just a rag
