DEF: Huey Lewis and the News “Heart And Soul”
According to the character Patrick Bateman in both the book and film versions of American Psycho, with their 1983 album Sports, San Francisco-based band Huey Lewis and the News “really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.” The chart performance of the album’s singles back Bateman up. All five singles from the album that appeared on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart reached the Top 20, with the first four hitting the Top 10.
On this date in 1983, the album’s first single, “Heart And Soul,” rose to a peak position of number 8, where it would spend two weeks. Today, “Heart And Soul” by Huey Lewis and the News is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
