Huey Lewis redefined mainstream rock in the 80s

For those who are over forty today Huey Lewis it’s the voice of “The Power of Love”the song consecrated by the first chapter of the film saga “Back to the Future”, but Hugh Anthony Cregg III – this is the artist’s registered name – with his The News was much more: a talented author, a solid and prepared performer, the artist born in New York on July 5, 1950 in the 80s was able to redefine the canons of mainstream rock radio, combining a decidedly pop writing (and very sophisticated, despite the apparent catchiness) with more sustained and biting atmospheres, but never aggressive.
