Huey Lewis And The News Biography

Biography of Huey Lewis And The News. Detailed Huey Lewis And The News profile and review.

Huey Lewis and the News are a popular American rock band. Their song "The Power of Love" was a #1 U.S. hit and featured in the 1985 film Back to the Future, with which they also recorded the theme song "Back In Time". The band's lead singer is Huey Lewis, who has a cameo appearance in the film as the teacher who rejects Marty McFly's band's audition for the school's "Battle of the Bands"contest. The piece the band plays is an instrumental version of "The Power of Love". Their former bass player, Mario Cipollina, is the younger brother of John Cipollina. With the release of Ghostbusters, Huey Lewis and the News sued the author of the film title song, Ray Parker Jr. The suit cited similarities between his theme song and their earlier hit "I Want a New Drug". According to Huey Lewis and the News, this was especially damaging to them since the Ghostbusters theme song was so popular, rising to #1 on the charts for three weeks. The band won the case and Parker Jr. was ordered to pay damages. The band was earlier approached to write the theme song for the movie, but turned it down.
