DEF: Huey Lewis and the News “The Heart of Rock & Roll”
San Francisco-based band Huey Lewis and the News hit the Top 20 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart with all five charting singles from their 1983 album, Sports. The third of those five singles, “The Heart of Rock & Roll,” pays homage to the fundamentals of rock ‘n’ roll music and the many places around the U.S. that people are making and playing rock ‘n’ roll. On this date in 1984, “The Heart of Rock & Roll” rose to a peak position of number 6, where it would spend four weeks. Today, “The Heart of Rock & Roll” by Huey Lewis and the News is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
