Huey Lewis

简介：介绍： The roots of Huey Lewis & the News lay in Clover, an early-'70s country-rock band from San Francisco that featured Lewis (vocals, harmonica) and keyboardist Sean Hopper. Clover moved to England in 1976 upon the urging of Nick Lowe, who believed they could fit into the U.K.'s pub rock scene. In a short time, the group cultivated a small following. Lowe produced the group's first single, "Chicken Funk," which featured lead vocals by Lewis and, the following year, the band, minus Lewis, supported Elvis Costello on his debut album, My Aim Is True. Polygram released two Clover albums that failed to find an audience and when their leader, John McFee, left the group to join the Doobie Brothers, the band broke up and returned to California. Before returning to the States, Lewis played harmonica on Lowe's Labour of Lust and Dave Edmunds'Repeat When Necessary, which also featured Lewis' song "Bad Is Bad." 休伊·刘易斯的根源和新闻躺在三叶草、早期- 70年代从旧金山country-rock乐队,这次的人声·刘易斯(口琴)和键盘肖恩料斗。三叶草移居英国于1976年在敦促尼克劳相信他们能适应英国的酒吧岩石场景。在很短的时间,该组织培养了一支小以下。便产生了集团的首支单曲,“鸡”,其特色是恐慌由于刘易斯,铅温顺的第二年,乐队,埃尔维斯·刘易斯,支持Coste减去 经过： Upon their return to America, Lewis and Hopper began jamming at a Marin County bar called Uncle Charlies, which is where they formed American Express with Mario Cipollina (bass), Johnny Colla (saxophone, guitar) and Bill Gibson (drums), who had all played in Soundhole, one of Van Morrison's backing bands in the late '70s. American Express recorded a disco version of "Theme From Exodus," calling it "Exodisco."Mercury released the single, which was ignored. In 1980, the group added lead guitarist Chris Hayes and were offered a contract by Chrysalis who requested that the band change their name. The members chose Huey Lewis & the News and the band's eponymous debut was released later that year to little attention. Picture This, the group's second album, was released early in 1982 and the record became a hit on the strength of the Top Ten single "Do You Believe in Love," which was written by former Clover producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange. A couple other minor hits, "Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do" and "Workin' for a Livin'" followed, and the band began building a strong following by touring heavily. Sports, the group's third album, was released in the fall of 1983 and it slowly became a multi-platinum success, thanks to touring and a series of clever, funny videos that received heavy MTV airplay. "Heart and Soul" (number eight, 1983), "I Want a New Drug" (number six, 1984), "The Heart of Rock & Roll" (number six, 1984) and "If This Is It" (number six, 1984) all became Top Ten hits, and Sports climbed to number one in 1984; it would eventually sell over seven million copies. Late in 1984, Lewis sued Ray Parker, Jr., claiming that his song "Ghostbusters" plagiarized "I Want a New Drug." The suit was settled out of court. The News had their first number one single in 1985 with "The Power of Love," taken from the soundtrack to Back to the Future. 在他们回到美国,刘易斯和料斗开始干扰在马林县酒吧Charlies称为“大叔”,这就是他们成立了美国运通和马里奥·Cipollina(低音),约翰尼崩溃(如萨克斯、吉他)和比尔·吉布森(鼓),他们都参加了Soundhole,范·莫里森的支持带在70年代的迪斯科。美国运通记录版的“主题” 《出埃及记》 ,称之为“Exodisco。”汞释放单,却被忽略了。1980年,集团补充主吉他手克里斯干草。 音乐作品： Huey Lewis & the News returned with their fourth album, Fore!, in 1986. The record sailed to number one on the strength of five Top Ten singles: "Stuck With You" (number one, 1986), "Hip to Be Square" (number three, 1986), "Jacob's Ladder" (number one, 1987), "I Know What I Like" (number nine, 1987), and "Doing It All for My Baby" (number six, 1987). The band was riding high on the charts when they decided to expand their musical reach with 1988's Small World, dipping tentatively into various American roots musics. While the record produced the Top Ten hit "Perfect World," it was a commercial disappointment after two chart-topping, multi-platinum albums, stalling at number 11 on the charts and only going platinum. 休伊·刘易斯和消息的第四张专辑时,拿着脱颖而出!在1986年。记录到了1号的实力五十强”卡住单打:与你”(第一,1986),“是方形的胯部”(3号》,1986)、“雅各的阶梯”(1号,1987年),“我知道我喜欢”(9号》,1987)、“做我的宝贝”(六号,1987)。乐队挤入当他们决定图表来扩展他们的音乐达到1988的小世界、浸渍初步探讨美国roo不同。 荣誉： The News took three years to follow up Small World with Hard at Play, which was released on their new label, EMI. Hard at Play failed to break the Top 20 and only produced one hit, "Couple Days Off." The group's commercial heyday had clearly passed, and the group took the remainder of the '90s rather easy, touring sporadically and releasing the covers album Four Chords & Several Years Ago in 1994. Their first release for Elektra Records, the album generated one adult contemporary radio hit, "But It's Alright," and failed to go gold. It would be over six years before the next album appeared, Plan B, which was released by Silvertone Records in 2001. A Stax Records/Memphis soul tribute album, Soulsville, appeared nine years later in 2010. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi 这个消息花了三年时间追踪小世界,努力发挥了他们的新标签,电磁干扰(EMI)。努力发挥未能打破了前20名,只制造了一打、两天了。”集团的商业鼎盛时期,很显然,小组通过把剩下的90年代,比较容易零星的、旅游和释放专辑封面四个和弦和几年前的1994年。他们的第一个释放记录,这张专辑《产生一个成年人现代无线电打”,但这是Alri。
