@@nonrepublicrat it’s obvious that you listen to garbage & call it music. And you don’t necessarily have to like the music to appreciate the musicians & writers behind it. And you’re probably looking for a reaction so I thought I should give one. This channel has always been a peaceful fun place. We never have to agree but we don’t have to be rude. Just sayin
@@MyKeeP81Hey have you been hit up by a guy claiming to be J and Amber? I just was. Now his comment has been deleted ! But i took screen shot of this bozo
It's hard to put into words how HUUUUGE this album was. Came out when I was about 13. When an ex friend of mine stole my cassette, I saved up my money to buy another copy. THAT'S how big it was... you just HAD to have a copy!😀
I graduated in 1986. I was very blessed and fortunate to experience in my prime what I believe was the last great decade this Country may ever see and I had a Blast. The music, the hair styles, the clothes..... the Happiness. A better world..... With better people living in it.
In case you don't know Huey Lewis was one of many artists who sang on the song/video "We Are The World". He also appeared in the movie "Back To The Future" as the teacher/ judge with the bullhorn who told Marty Mcfly that his band was "just too darn loud". The song "Power Of Love" from the movie also is Huey Lewis.
Growing up in the ‘80’s was incredible. We used to sit and listen to the radio with our finger waiting to hit record on our cassette recorders so we could make mix tapes.
I fly in and out of Chicago O’Hare ALL OF THE TIME. I was standing at a Starbucks kiosk one day when I heard a VERY familiar voice. I turn around to find Huey chatting with a friend. Gotta say… he was as charming and cordial as you would think.
One of my favorites from HS back in the 80s. He sang a really sultry duet with Gwyneth Paltrow called "Cruisin'", and old Smokey Robinson song. It's surprisingly very good!
Another song from this album that's played at a fever pitch and also shows off Huey's harmonica skills is "Workin' for a Living." Another song reaction should be done for "Hip to Be Square" with the video a textbook example of the term "extreme closeup"
Ignore those that tell you what are good versus bad bands, it's what you like that counts. Huey Lewis and the News is an upbeat fun group that just makes you smile. Happy New Year!
Absolutely one of the best bands of the 1980's. They came to perform at Six Flags over Texas when I was a Freshman in high school in 1984. I had a HUGE crush on his guitarist Chris. It was a great show!! Y'all are spot on when you suggest Huey Lewis was considered a ladies' man. He was indeed. Excellent reaction!!
Huey Lewis did a song with Gwyneth Paltrow for a movie they starred in playing a father and daughter. It's called "Cruisin'". It's really good and more mellow. Their voices sound great together.
I always forget just how freaking good Huey and his crew are/were. It’s kind of amazing they were one of the biggest bands of the ‘80s, yet they’re almost an afterthought these days. But man. So many bangers.
Lot of people don't know that Huey Lewis was a Vietnam vet which his song walking on a thin line is all about and what we faced is Veterans coming back from Vietnam
Huey said that at this time their record company said they NEEDED a hit song. So they decided to record a rocking version of this song originally done by Exile. It was the first song released from their album "Sports" and became the hit they "needed". Several other hit songs came from that album.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You... finally somone played this song. 1983 I was 25 back then. Heart & Soul, was my introduction to Huey Lewis and the News. When I pulled into a truck stop, and there was a Juke Box, in went the quarter, and I just sat back with a nice hot coffee and realxed listening to this song. Lots of memories from my youth. Glad you liked it.. Thanks once again, and have Happy and Prosperous New Year 2023 from my family to yours...
Great song! You should really react to their 1986 Hit 'Hip To Be Square'. It's such a fun song! But you really should watch the Official Video, it just amplifies the awesome vibe of the song. A true Banger! The song is also featured in the 2000 movie 'American Psycho' (a movie you need to check out), in a hilarious (and famous) scene. And it even has an awesome sax solo just for you Amber!
All right my babies....I can certainly kick myself in the can for not being able to see this band ❗ They we're in heavy rotation on the radio waves during the 80s because of their magnificent sound. Huey Lewis and the News could be a definition of a straight up undiluted rock and roll band ‼️🔥💯🎼🎶😎👍🏼
I wish you guys knew what it was like growing up in the 80's, it was amazing seeing all these bands come out with their music. This is when all the different styles came out. Here's one for Amber, Little River Band, Lady. Gotta love it!!
This is a fun pop song. It has interesting instrument 🎸 arrangements that are unique and rare in their use. It's just gobs of fun to listen and move to.
I would like to request a redo of The Power of Love - this time with the official music video. It has a lot of very cool Back to the Future references - and just a great video to watch. Also Walking on a Thin Line and Working for a Living. Love you guys!
Good eighties song. Stay in the 80s as the New Year comes. Y’all should react to Rush “Time Stand Still “. As a 62 yr old man this song makes you wish time would stand still. As young parents PLEASE PLEASE enjoy your children because you will wish that time would stand still sometimes. Lots of Love to y’all and keep it up in the New Year 🎉🎉🎉
The 14 year old me had such a crush on the girl in this video that I would watch MTV for hours waiting for them to play this song. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me all these years later.
Ah.... ! the warm embrace of nostalgia.. This takes me back... Back when house parties were often the best night of your life.. An often so. The drinks were plentiful, the women were drop dead gorgeous, and the music was slam'n and bang'n the roof off .. Days gone by, never to return..
This reminded me that there is a song from 87 of the same name, but not the same song. The artist is T'Pau, she could get a spot on a Female Friday, for some 80s vibes.
Huey was the first concert my husband and i went to. It was our first date. We were married 35 years and he just passed away. So Huey always reminds me of those heady days of first love with my sweet husband. Our 39th anniversary would have been yesterday. Thank you Huey for the memories we had together.
