    Random personal story about Huey Lewis. I have a 23 year old brother with autism and cerebral palsy, and many many years ago he wanted to go see a Backstreet Boys concert with my father. Unfortunately, all the tickets were sold out. My Uncle Chuck, who passed away in 2011, had some connections (apparently he was close friends with Huey Lewis) and through him, my brother got the tickets and got to go to the show. I never knew about this until recently, and I liked Huey Lewis before, but knowing he did that for my brother is so humbling. It’s almost unbelievable. THANK YOU HUEY

      True. This is actually a rather sad song, despite the Beach Boys-like doo wop harmonies and the melodic guitar by Chris Hayes.
      Hell, Hayes' solo can make a grown dude cry and Huey knocked it out of the park! Probably his greatest (and one of the most emotive) vocal performance to date!
      On a side note, I do agree Mr Bateman. And no, their masterpiece most likely wasn't 'Hip To Be Square'!

      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 humor.

But, "The Heart of Rock and Roll" was also popular in the spring of 1984 and this song was also popular in the fall of 1984. In the summer of 1985 came "The Power of Love" their biggest hit ever made which is, you guessed it. Part of the "Back to the Future" soundtrack.

    Pure California flavored pop do-wop perfection. Great musicianship, production values, lead vocal, lush-layered harmony vocals, and more hooks than a fisherman’s hat. As noted throughout these comments, the 80’s were a magical time for music and Huey and the boys were pure sonic bliss. Just a great example of how to make a great sounding record. I’ve heard this more times than I can remember but it still sounds fresh every time.

      I"ve come to feel bad for everyone younger who didn't experience any of the 70's or 80's, when I was a child and teen. I took this music for granted, I was into heavy metal during this time but would watch the video to look at the girls in swimsuits (no internet back then to see plenty of that). Life was, unquestionably, overwhelmingly more positive then than now. Sure, we had world issues to work on, but the effort was supported by everyone roughly the same...unlike now, where there is a very hard polarization and destruction of our entire culture and world happening before our eyes.
      We never would've imagined life would be like this. It was supposed to get better and better. But it started going down hill musically around 1990, and then culturally in the 2010's...and with the political abuse of covid, is just getting worse, and worse and worse.
      It is sickening to me that there are so many young people who are growing up and simply becoming accustomed to a world with so much innate negativity, and a media and culture that reinforces it every single day. My only hope is that people are beginning to wake up. I guess most importantly, realize what an enemy the media is above all else.

      +Michael Mayfield, I am here for you. Michael. Don't give up. Michael. I am still single and searching for Mrs. Right in my life. First you have to be a friend to a woman to spend quality time with her. It is the only way of you knowing if she is right for you or if you two are compatible. Plus a lot of women have been hurt, deceived and lied by bad men in this world. A lot of women are confused between a righteous/good men or unfaithful/disloyal men in these days and rough/perilous times. Not only that it makes it hard for women to trust men at all.
      I have learned a lot of women are attracted to bad men that live dangerously. Or you have good men are living right by taking life seriously than other men. Make sure a woman treat you good in front of her family members and her friends. A lot of women have a habit/intentionally of changing their personality(like the weather) in front of people like family members and friends. Please be careful and try to recognize the signs of a woman's attitude,facial expressions, body languages and actions around people by knowing if the love is true or not. Michael. One more thing before I end this message. Women love to spend money like crazyyyyy! on shopping or wanting be with a man with $$$$$$$ and a high price car and place of his own like expensive mansion, house or apartment.

    I wish I could go back in a time machine right now, I miss the 80s more then ever. Our country was such a better place. God Bless you all!

    1984 is probably the greatest single year of all time while the 80s was the greatest decade ever

      Graduated HS in 1984, best music for sure. I concur Dean Dunphy. Have Scorpions Love At First Sting 1984 tattooed on my arm, first tat first gig in Army. Loved the cocaine fueled 80's!
      I would actually dare to say I'd pick Steve Perry's Journey to be the soundtrack of my life. Saw them multiple times live in concert; almost every important event in my formative years there was a Journey song playing in the background. Play it at my funeral.
