Huey Lewis and the News is a pop/rock band from San Francisco that combines the backbone of blues and rock and roll with the sweet harmonies of soul and doo wop. The band's origins go back as far as 1979, but it wasn't until the mid-1980's that Huey Lewis and the News dropped a series of hit songs that would catapult the group into the mainstream spot light. Tracks such as "Hip to Be Square" and "The Power of Love" earned the band an international following and solidified it as a pop music icon throughout the 20th century. Although Huey Lewis and the News has experienced significant changes to its lineups, the band is still led by three original founders, front man Huey Lewis, keyboardist Sean Hopper and drummer Bill Gibson, who continue to record albums and stage live performances.
