Was a teenager throughout the 80's such a different world than today. Society was the polar opposite of today. Love your reactions and the genuine smiles say it all. These are my generations oldies, love to see younger people appreciate the older stuff. 55 now where does the time go 😮. Peace to you both......
Fun fact: during that break, each time a band member comes into frame, their instrument is highlighted in the song! Guitar, sax, drums, keyboard, and bass.
To describe this in one word; Perfect! Perfect vocals, perfect instrumentals, perfect video. Huey Lewis and the News were huge hit makers in the 80's, with their clean, joyful, harmonious sound. Great reaction and glad you really appreciate their sound.
In interviews Huey Lewis credits the harmonies and arrangements from Mutt Lange, who wrote this song. Huey Lewis and members of the News were in Clover 🍀, a Bay Area 🌁 band before it became Huey Lewis and the News. Mutt wrote and produced their final album.
Wow that takes me back I was 19 back in 82 when the song came out can't believe it's been 40 years but the song Still sounds as fresh as it did all those years ago
Back when MTV was new and actually played music Huey Lewis and the News just released SPORTS. They made videos for just about every song and they all got played a LOT on MTV so the popularity of both grew together.
Supposedly the band did *not* like this video, and after this point they insisted on taking creative control of their videos away from the record company. Seemed to work out OK for them!
Yes! I have always loved Huey Lewis and The News! Theirs is a great rabbit hole to go down. If This Is It, Stuck With You, Heart of Rock And Roll, Doing It All For My Baby and many more!!
I’d forgotten about Doing It All For My Baby, what a great song! I always hold a light for a song from their 1991 album Hard At Play called We Should Be Making Love. It keeps the formula of their best 80’s songwriting alive into the 90’s but the band were losing popularity then so it isn’t as well known as it should be
Huey Lewis and the News is so mid-80s, I suddenly found myself wearing a Members Only jacket with the sleeves pushed up... *_the gray one._* (believe me, people who grew up in the 80s know that the gray one was the one _everyone_ wanted)
Y'all are one of the only reaction channels that actually react the Huey Lewis and the News so I thank y'all for that. They are one of my favorite bands from the 80's. Huey is easily one of my favorite voices
I was so head over heels for this band back in the day. Saw them in concert twice and had the biggest crush on Huey, what a hottie! Anyway SO many great songs from them, you guys gotta check out Workin for a Living (banger), If This Is It, Walking on a Thin Line and my all time fav Heart and Soul.
Loved these gentlemen singing the National Anthem... beautiful Check out I WANT A NEW DRUG next... lotsa good quality music from Huey Lewis and The News.
This song is pop perfection, Huey Lewis & The News best song and in my humble opinion one of the best songs of all time. Love this song my favourite from the group, it just makes you feel so good when you hear this track.
Liked it before I watched it because it’s that kind song great pick and I already know ahead of time great reaction peace love and joy to you and yours EDIT: And then you decide to halt The song right before the sax comes in so I’m giggling but then I get a commercial now I’m really giggling because I’m actually writing this at the moment oh my god this is like one of the best songs ever how much of this rabbit hole have you visited
My first concert was in the early 80s when I saw Heart on their "Private Auditions" tour. Huey Lewis and the News opened for them. Nobody knew who they were and at first the crowd even booed them. Then their guitar player started shredding and the horns started wailing. By the time their set ended, the crowd gave them a standing ovation. The rest for Huey Lewis and the News was rock history. There are a slew of hits from this group. I would take a listen to "Heart of Rock N Roll" too.
@ NavyVet First & foremost I thank you for your service. God Bless. Now to the music I too saw both Huey & Heart but not on the same ticket. But sweet Jesus Heart blew me away!!!! Those ladies were amazing!!! Cheers to keeping rock alive 🎼🎸🥁🎹🎤🎼
I happened to see a music video that Huey Lewis and The News put out from their first album in 1980. I was impressed and thought they were so, so close to having a great formula figured out. I thought I'd better keep an eye on them. Then their second album came out and everybody knew who they were. I'm not very good about spotting future stars but I nailed it that time.
Oh yes! The first hit from them, and probably still my favorite. Was lucky to see them live early on, and meet them backstage as well -- Huey and the boys are awesome.
It's so sad Huey developed a hearing problem in 2019 and can't perform any more. I hope it clears up some day, as it made him very depressed when it happened and probably still is upsetting for him. Love that y'all love him! I hope you react to more of their songs in the future. :)
Haha !!! ALL of their videos are fun. So were their concerts! They were so awesome. Their a capella was not famous, but they put some out there. Soooooooooo good !!!!!!!
Huey and the boys were big fans of 50s and 60s music which is where a lot of their harmonies come from. The even did a whole album of nothing but covers of 50s and 60s songs.
I saw the group in 1987. One of the songs they did (I can’t remember which, sadly) was sung completely a cappella, with the exception of a drum machine, and the harmonies were as tight as they could be. I was very impressed.
I was going to say the same thing about seeing them singing a cappella in concert. I saw them more than once and one concert they had the Tower of Power brass section with them.
Offhand, I can think of two a capella tracks from Huey Lewis and the News albums: Naturally and It's Alright. Wondering if it might've been one of those?
You have got to listen to " It's Alright" or "Bad Is Bad" by Huey. The harmonies are off the hook. "It's Alright," has a 60's street corner vibe and is sung acapella. "Bad Is Bad," has a bluesy jazz vibe, but the vocals are tight, and the music is almost secondary. They really sound great.
I love Huey Lewis & The News. They have great songs that made the 80's the 80's. Heart and Soul, I Want A New Drug, and It's Alright (sung a cappella) are awesome songs!
J & Amber, you will LOVE their "Heart And Soul", "If This Is It" and "Working For A Living" !!! I used to play their first album cuts on the radio station!
Love Huey Lewis what an amazing Singer their Most poplar signature hit We all know is "Power of Love" From Back to the Future which earned them their First U.S. Billboard 100 #1 thats the Song that Made them who they are They then went on to make other Smash hits like Stuck With you and more 👌👌
A really forgotten about classic by Huey Lewis and the News is "Jacob's Ladder"... These guys were on my headphones almost every night as my "guilty pleasure" that my Rock & Roll buddies would never admit to. About the closest to mainstream Top40 most of them would ever admit to listening to was U2 or a few Bryan Adams songs...
I nearly forgot how much I like this song! Brings me back to 7th-8th grade. I remember that we laughed at how they're all gathered around singing to her while she's sleeping. I wonder how hard it was for the actress to act like they weren't right there in her face.
I gave Chris (the guitar player) their “Picture This” album on vinyl to autograph. He laughed and said “Wow, we don’t even own copies of this anymore! “ Didn’t think he was going to give it back! Lol. The whole band was so sweet and cool.
Love me some Huey! I've seen them in concert 5x. Never disappointed! They have some great acapella songs. Since you love those harmonies. They also used to sing the National Anthem for the 49ers quite often. I was there once and they do an amazing job!!
Huey Lewis and the News are one of the most under appreciated & disrespected bands of all time. The fact that they’re not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet is a disgrace. I know there are other musicians that deserve it more and likewise haven’t been inducted either, but considering some of the musicians that are in there now, Huey Lewis and the News deserve to be in there as well.
J & Amber, the REASON music from the 60's 70's and 80's sounds so good is because these were artists that had to compete for a record contract based upon their voices, artistry, musical talent and a mass appeal. The record companies controlled the industry and they selected artists and groups based upon TALENT. There WERE some groups that were just pushed out there because of some gimmick, but the vast majority of the music was being made by the cream of the crop. Now days, ANYONE can release music on the web and it shows in the multitude of so-so music and talent.
How do I love Huey Lewis and the News? Let me count the ways, ha. Just a top favorite from the 80s - hit after hit. If you haven't done these songs yet, might want to try Heart and Soul, Walking on a Thin Line, and Jacob's Ladder.
Their song "Naturally" and their performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" are some of their best harmonies. So many great hits from them for you to catch up on.
This is my favorite Huey Lewis And The News song. I fell in love with it when it came out and love it even more now!
It wouldnt had been the 80s without Huey Lewis and The News.They have tons of good songs
Loved their song "Sometimes Bad Is Bad".
Huey Lewis isn't a bad actor either
Was a teenager throughout the 80's such a different world than today. Society was the polar opposite of today. Love your reactions and the genuine smiles say it all. These are my generations oldies, love to see younger people appreciate the older stuff. 55 now where does the time go 😮. Peace to you both......
Huey Lewis and The News always awesome!
These guys were a hit factory. Next stops: "If This is It," "I Want a New Drug," "Stuck with You."
All great songs classics
Don't forget about "The Power of Love" that's in "Back To The Future", along with Huey Lewis.
@@RayfordRaySiegel They did that song. If I was to pick any song to sum up the 80s that would be it.
Love Hip To Be Square as well.
@@reesebn38,
Oh, yeah. I remember, now.
The entire "Sports" album is an 80s classic.👍👍😄😄😄😄😄
I absolutely love Huey Lewis. They have so many fantastic songs. ✌️
The power of love is a pretty good one!
Absolutely!
First concert I ever went to was Heuy Lewis after his album "Sports" came out. 1984. Great times.
Fun fact: during that break, each time a band member comes into frame, their instrument is highlighted in the song! Guitar, sax, drums, keyboard, and bass.
This is one of my favorite songs by them
Huey Lewis and the News ruled the 80's. One of my sll time favorites.
And Eddie Money
if ya didn't have SPORTS album or cassette..in the 80's...you weren't in the 80's..lol
Just a fun song! Great guitar, harmonies, sax...
To describe this in one word; Perfect!
Perfect vocals, perfect instrumentals, perfect video. Huey Lewis and the News were huge hit makers in the 80's, with their clean, joyful, harmonious sound.
Great reaction and glad you really appreciate their sound.
In interviews Huey Lewis credits the harmonies and arrangements from Mutt Lange, who wrote this song.
Huey Lewis and members of the News were in Clover 🍀, a Bay Area 🌁 band before it became Huey Lewis and the News. Mutt wrote and produced their final album.
Love Huey Lewis..."Perfect World" and "I Want A New Drug" are other hits that were 80 classics.
And of course Heart of Rock and Roll.
And Heart and Soul
You still need to hit "Hip to be Square." It's an oldie but goodie from Huey Lewis and the News
Love that song!!
Wow that takes me back I was 19 back in 82 when the song came out can't believe it's been 40 years but the song Still sounds as fresh as it did all those years ago
For a couple of years in the 80s Lewis and the News dominated the air waves. Their albums went platinum as fast as they came out.
So many car trips to the beach with the windows down and this song blasting.
Back when MTV was new and actually played music Huey Lewis and the News just released SPORTS. They made videos for just about every song and they all got played a LOT on MTV so the popularity of both grew together.
Supposedly the band did *not* like this video, and after this point they insisted on taking creative control of their videos away from the record company. Seemed to work out OK for them!
I didn't know anyone in the 80s who didn't own a copy of Sports.
Between his albums "Sports" and "Fore" Huey ruled the 80's great songs on both albums
LOL how does she just lay there without cracking up I'd be dying laughing
Yes! I have always loved Huey Lewis and The News! Theirs is a great rabbit hole to go down. If This Is It, Stuck With You, Heart of Rock And Roll, Doing It All For My Baby and many more!!
They covered Heart of Rock And Roll.
I’d forgotten about Doing It All For My Baby, what a great song! I always hold a light for a song from their 1991 album Hard At Play called We Should Be Making Love. It keeps the formula of their best 80’s songwriting alive into the 90’s but the band were losing popularity then so it isn’t as well known as it should be
Huey Lewis and the News is so mid-80s, I suddenly found myself wearing a Members Only jacket with the sleeves pushed up... *_the gray one._*
(believe me, people who grew up in the 80s know that the gray one was the one _everyone_ wanted)
The 80s would have been really missing a lot without Huey Lewis and the News.
Nearly 40 years later and I remember every single lyric. What a great memory. Great song.
Y'all are one of the only reaction channels that actually react the Huey Lewis and the News so I thank y'all for that. They are one of my favorite bands from the 80's. Huey is easily one of my favorite voices
Agreed!!
80s music cant be beat for a good upbeat feel good time...so many great hits
Huey Lewis and the News are so much fun!!
"Walking On A Thin Line"
"Heart and Soul"
"I Want A New Drug"
"Jacob's Ladder"
"It Hit Me Like A Hammer"
Jacob's Ladder - good call. I forget about that one.
Walking on a thin line is a really good song that doesn't get mentioned a whole lot.
And he don't know.
Walking on a Thin Line, for what it means. My father and uncle served in Vietnam came back. They were disrespected.
Those are some jams
I was so head over heels for this band back in the day. Saw them in concert twice and had the biggest crush on Huey, what a hottie! Anyway SO many great songs from them, you guys gotta check out Workin for a Living (banger), If This Is It, Walking on a Thin Line and my all time fav Heart and Soul.
Loved these gentlemen singing the National Anthem... beautiful
Check out I WANT A NEW DRUG next... lotsa good quality music from Huey Lewis and The News.
This is my favorite song by them great video
This song is pop perfection, Huey Lewis & The News best song and in my humble opinion one of the best songs of all time. Love this song my favourite from the group, it just makes you feel so good when you hear this track.
Love this comment. Everything they were brilliant at is in this song, melodies, harmonies, great playing, great song structure.
You couldn't turn on a radio in 83 or 84 without hearing them. Huge song.
This kind of song exemplifies the 80's for me. For me it was the positive, hopeful decade, and much of the music was too.
Not only a great, great band...their videos were hilarious for the early days of MTV. :) Could tell they didn't take themselves too seriously!
Pop music from each decade is just pure fun. Never need to apologize for loving pop music.
My fav Huey song
Wonderful band I remember them when I was a child.
80s music, great memories. My kids were young, and everyone I loved was still alive.
Huey Lewis is awesome!!!
Liked it before I watched it because it’s that kind song great pick and I already know ahead of time great reaction peace love and joy to you and yours
EDIT:
And then you decide to halt The song right before the sax comes in so I’m giggling but then I get a commercial now I’m really giggling because I’m actually writing this at the moment oh my god this is like one of the best songs ever how much of this rabbit hole have you visited

I thought I'd better keep an eye on them. Then their second album came out and everybody knew who they were. I'm not very good about spotting future stars but I nailed it that time.
They've already reacted to the Heart of Rock and Roll. A great song nonetheless.
@spydude38 one of the first concerts I saw where I danced from beginning to end.Huey is a amazing front man and funny too.
My first concert ever that I went to. They were in it. 😀
Such a feel good tune. 🎵🎙🕺💃🎧
So glad you got to Huey Lewis and the News and my favourite song of theirs!
My faves are " Heart and Soul" and "Jacobs Ladder" I love them. They are a good vibe band.
“If this is it”, one of my favorites.
Oh yes! The first hit from them, and probably still my favorite. Was lucky to see them live early on, and meet them backstage as well -- Huey and the boys are awesome.
Funny thing is that I heard the retro American Top 40 with Casey Kasem yesterday morning from April of 82 and this was in the top 5 today in 82
It's so sad Huey developed a hearing problem in 2019 and can't perform any more. I hope it clears up some day, as it made him very depressed when it happened and probably still is upsetting for him. Love that y'all love him! I hope you react to more of their songs in the future. :)
Been so long since y'all reacted to them that you didn't recognize Huey in y'all's second time around with We Are the World reaction, lol
A great video from them is “Heart and Soul”.
You can see why we all loved Huey Lewis and the News. Really fun guys with great uplifting tunes. Thanks Jordan and Amber, see you soon.
Haha !!! ALL of their videos are fun. So were their concerts! They were so awesome. Their a capella was not famous, but they put some out there. Soooooooooo good !!!!!!!
Huey and the boys were big fans of 50s and 60s music which is where a lot of their harmonies come from. The even did a whole album of nothing but covers of 50s and 60s songs.
“Heart and Soul” 🙏
I saw the group in 1987. One of the songs they did (I can’t remember which, sadly) was sung completely a cappella, with the exception of a drum machine, and the harmonies were as tight as they could be. I was very impressed.
It's Alright is that songs name. I agree with you and hope Amber and J will follow our advice and try that track.
I was going to say the same thing about seeing them singing a cappella in concert. I saw them more than once and one concert they had the Tower of Power brass section with them.
Offhand, I can think of two a capella tracks from Huey Lewis and the News albums: Naturally and It's Alright. Wondering if it might've been one of those?
Actually, It's Alright was a much later song (2006), but Naturally was off their 1986 album Fore! so my money's on that one.
The song with the drum machine is called Bad is Bad😉
Great band loved them growing up.
They have so many great songs. The message is always great.
Saw them in Tulsa!! Such a cool band!!🤘🔥
This is, by far, my favorite Huey Lewis and The News song.
I had the luck of running into Huey Lewis. A very nice person.
A great song. Glad you picked it. Another great song by Huey is "If This Is It" 👌 👏
I've always loved Huey Lewis and the News, good memories of good times.✌❤🎶
You have got to listen to " It's Alright" or "Bad Is Bad" by Huey. The harmonies are off the hook. "It's Alright," has a 60's street corner vibe and is sung acapella. "Bad Is Bad," has a bluesy jazz vibe, but the vocals are tight, and the music is almost secondary. They really sound great.
I had to pencil rewind my cassette before school in mornings because my Kraco car stereo..would try too eat it..after school....lol..
This is one of those songs you don't think about for years but when you hear it again you remember how much you loved it.
Their 1st album was a banger, start to finish. I still have a copy of it on vinyl. Keep up the great work.
got it on vinyl also. such a great band!
Same!
Might even still have the cassette I made from the vinyl for the car.
If This Is It is my favourite song by them
Their best for me was ‘I want a new drug’. But all their 80s hits were fun! Good to see u enjoy!
One of my favorite Huey Luis songs
Reminds me of my dad
I haven’t heard this one in years! Such a happy song. Thx guys!
another Bay area horn soulful band, you guyss must hear i want a new drug, thjese guys rock!!
I love Huey Lewis & The News. They have great songs that made the 80's the 80's. Heart and Soul, I Want A New Drug, and It's Alright (sung a cappella) are awesome songs!
One of the best artists of the 80s!!! This is one of my favorite Huey Lewis songs!!! WOOOOOOOOOO,,,I NEED MORE
J & Amber, you will LOVE their "Heart And Soul", "If This Is It" and "Working For A Living" !!! I used to play their first album cuts on the radio station!
Huey Lewis "Heart and Soul".
Love Huey Lewis what an amazing Singer their Most poplar signature hit We all know is "Power of Love" From Back to the Future which earned them their First U.S. Billboard 100 #1 thats the Song that Made them who they are They then went on to make other Smash hits like Stuck With you and more 👌👌
My favorite by this group! Oh my former teenage heart. 😂
I saw them in concert & they are freaking AMAZING!! You can NEVER go wrong w/any of their songs.... just love them!!
"Stuck With You" is another great song by Huey Lewis & The News.
..Yes it's true🎵
Huey Lewis and the News are great, super 80's rock n roll...easy on the ears and good for feet tap'n.
Way to start the evening 🙋🏻♀️
Finally! 😱😱😱
Love it!
"HEART AND SOUL" IF you haven't
❤ you guys!
A really forgotten about classic by Huey Lewis and the News is "Jacob's Ladder"... These guys were on my headphones almost every night as my "guilty pleasure" that my Rock & Roll buddies would never admit to. About the closest to mainstream Top40 most of them would ever admit to listening to was U2 or a few Bryan Adams songs...
This was their first hit. I remember when Mtv debuted this song.
I nearly forgot how much I like this song! Brings me back to 7th-8th grade. I remember that we laughed at how they're all gathered around singing to her while she's sleeping. I wonder how hard it was for the actress to act like they weren't right there in her face.
Loved them in concert! Have you done his song "I Want A New Drug" Very upbeat!
It's nice to see younger generations appreciate music like these
I gave Chris (the guitar player) their “Picture This” album on vinyl to autograph. He laughed and said “Wow, we don’t even own copies of this anymore! “ Didn’t think he was going to give it back! Lol. The whole band was so sweet and cool.
one of the quite underrated bands in the 80s.....such a gem
You'll love Hip To Be Square, makes you want to dance, and has more sax in that one!
Love me some Huey! I've seen them in concert 5x. Never disappointed! They have some great acapella songs. Since you love those harmonies. They also used to sing the National Anthem for the 49ers quite often. I was there once and they do an amazing job!!
Huey Lewis and the News are one of the most under appreciated & disrespected bands of all time.
The fact that they’re not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet is a disgrace.
I know there are other musicians that deserve it more and likewise haven’t been inducted either, but considering some of the musicians that are in there now, Huey Lewis and the News deserve to be in there as well.
Huey Lewis and the news are great!!!
J & Amber, the REASON music from the 60's 70's and 80's sounds so good is because these were artists that had to compete for a record contract based upon their voices, artistry, musical talent and a mass appeal. The record companies controlled the industry and they selected artists and groups based upon TALENT. There WERE some groups that were just pushed out there because of some gimmick, but the vast majority of the music was being made by the cream of the crop. Now days, ANYONE can release music on the web and it shows in the multitude of so-so music and talent.
music today is awful
One of my favorite songs. 30+ years later, I still listen to it regularly. :D Never get tired of Huey Lewis.
Huey Lewis is one of my favorite bands outside of ACDC you guy's should check out "I want a new drug "
How do I love Huey Lewis and the News? Let me count the ways, ha. Just a top favorite from the 80s - hit after hit. If you haven't done these songs yet, might want to try Heart and Soul, Walking on a Thin Line, and Jacob's Ladder.
Many many more hits to go for this band. They were solid throughout the 80s.
Love this song! Can't help but put you in a good mood. 😊
Their song "Naturally" and their performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" are some of their best harmonies. So many great hits from them for you to catch up on.
Best Huey Lewis song I think it may be on of their first ones
