"Huey Lewis and the News" за короткое время смогли превратиться из ресторанной команды в одну из наиболее успешных поп-рок-групп Америки. Сосвоимпростенькимрок-н-ролломонинаштамповалинемалохитов, такихкак "Workin' for a Livin'", "I Want a New Drug", "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "Hip to Be Square", "The Power of Love". Хью Льюис (вокал, гармоника) и Син Хоппер (клавишные) в начале 70-х играли в кантри-рок-банде "Clover". Из Сан-Франциско группа переместилась в Лондон, где и была похоронена под нахлынувшей волной панка. Хью и Син вернулись в Америку, собрав новую команду, в которую также вошли Джонни Колла (саксофон, гитара), Билл Гибсон (перкуссия), Марио Чипполина (бас) и Крис Хайес (гитара). Первоначальноеназвание "Huey Lewis and the American Express" вскоребылоизмененона "Huey Lewis and the News".
В 1980 году группа заключила контракт с "Chrysalis records" и выпустила дебютный альбом, мало кого заинтересовавший. Вторая попытка под названием "Picture this" оказалась более удачной и композиция "Do you believe in love", написанная бывшим продюсером "Clover" Робертом Джоном Ланджем, попала в лучшую американскую десятку. Напластинкеприсутствовалиещедвехитовыевещицы, "Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do" и "Workin' for a Livin'". Сам же альбом провел в чартах "Billboard" 35 недель, добравшись до 13-й строчки.
Чтобы закрепить успех команда отправилась на гастроли. Интерес к коллективу нарастал, и музыкантов приглашали участвовать в различных шоу типа "Fridays", "Solid Gold", "American Bandstand". Следующий альбом, "Sports", также неплохо стартовал и медленно но верно добрался до мультиплатинового статуса. Этому способствовали интенсивные гастроли и постоянная ротация нескольких клипов, прорвавшихся на MTV. Композиции "Heart and Soul", "I Want a New Drug", "The Heart of Rock & Roll" и "If This Is It" все побывали в лучшей десятке, а сам альбом в июне 1984-го возглавил чарты "Billboard". Тем временем "Huey Lewis and the News" продолжали колесить с концертами, попутно собирая всевозможные призы и награды.
Так, например, в 1985-м музыканты открывали церемонию "Grammy Awards" со своей песней "The Heart of Rock and Roll", а композиция "The Power of Love", прозвучавшая в фильме "Назад в будущее" и занявшая первое место в американском хит-параде, была номинирована на "Оскар". Вышедший в 1986-м альбом "Fore" вновь оказался на вершине биллбордовских чартах, а "Huey Lewis and the News" продолжили собирать самые большие концертные площадки. Общий тираж их альбомов к тому времени перевалил за 15-миллионную отметку.
Почувствовав головокружение от успехов, музыканты решили отдохнуть и возвратились к студийной работе в 1988 году. На этот раз они отошли от старого доброго рок-н-ролла и выдали некую смесь джаза, фанка, рэгги и ска, материализованную в виде "Small world". Изменение стиля не замедлило сказаться на тиражах пластинки. И хотя диск все же дотянул до "платины", но намного уступал двум своим предшественникам. Тенденция творческого спада продолжилась, и после невзрачного альбома "Hard at Play" ансамбль попытался удержаться на плаву, выпустив пластинку "Four Chords and Several Years Ago", состоящую из одних каверов. Однако момент был упущен, и теперь команда зарабатывала себе на жизнь редкими концертами.
В этот период произошла смена басиста (им стал Джон Пирс), и к сотрудничеству была привлечена духовая секция "News Brothers", состоявшая из Марвина Макфаддена, Рона Столлингса и Роба Саддата. Записать очередную пластинку с новым материалом музыкантам удалось лишь в 2001 году. На диске "Plan B" Льюис и компания вернулись к своим рок-н-ролльным корням, и хотя диск не занял никаких позиций в чартах, но зато качество работы мало чем уступало периоду "Fore" и "Sports".
