On This Day: June 25, 1980 - Huey Lewis and the News Release Their Debut Album
On this day June 25, 1980, Huey Lewis and the News released their self titled debut album. While it did not make a major splash on the charts at the time, it introduced the band’s signature blend of rock, rhythm and blues, and pop hooks that would soon make them one of the defining acts of the decade.

The album laid the foundation for their future success, with early tracks that hinted at the energetic sound and personality driven style that would dominate the airwaves just a few years later. Though modest in commercial impact, it set the tone for what was to come.

80s insight: The debut of Huey Lewis and the News marked the quiet beginning of a group that would go on to represent the upbeat, feel good side of 80s rock with chart topping albums and anthems that still resonate today.
