But some black people already said they like him

"Heart & Soul" is the most un-intentially funky record--I've think I've heard...

I don't think its the type of song that should be played in a Target though...

Wait.. there are blacks in the video dancing...women mostly... Tokens? Not sure..

i know it is only because they were popular.. not because they were actually any good.

Who likes anyone "underground"? Who spends money there...

People usually wait-around for The Major Corporations to push someone in their faces and through their ears..

This World is full of Bandwagoners, and Front-Runners...

White Dad Pop= Huey Lewis & The News. Possibly the whitest band of the 80's.

People like things because it is good, maybe YOU think it's not good but they do. I'm sure there is stuff you think is good while other people may think it is crap.

I think they are OK, few good songs.

Here he is covering a few soul classics by the Drifters and J.J. Jackson. He was more blue-eyed-soul than people knew.....for the record. Obviously not many were listening.

White and NOOOOOOOO I don't like them at all, ever....

hey this thread is for black only............lol............yes, we have gone back in time but reversed the laws a bit

The question should be do people of any race like them? I just find their music to be very cheesy and dated now. Who rushes out to see them live? You couldn't pay me to see them.

Count Basie and Charles Mingus were a few of his early influences. Ever hear of them? Do your research before you judge another white guy, like you always seem to do.

Yeah you're right, they are "dated". They play instruments and don't rap about bitches.

They got soul!

What arrogance. Who exactly do you think you are that you can speak for other than yourself?

Huey Lewis & The News – I Want A New Drug Lyrics

: http://www.lyricsfreak.co...03410.html

I want a new drug - one that won't make me sick,
One that won't make me crash my car, or make me feel three feet thick.
I want a new drug - one that won't hurt my head,
One that won't make my mouth too dry, or make my eyes too red.

One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do.
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you, when I'm alone with you.

I want a new drug - one that won't spill.
One that don't cost too much, or come in a pill.
I want a new drug - one that won't go away,
One that won't keep me up all night, one that won't make me sleep all day.
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do ...
I'm alone with you, baby.

I want a new drug - one that does what it should,
One that won't make me feel too bad,
One that won't make me feel too good.
I want a new drug - one with no doubt,
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do. ...
I'm alone with you, I'm alone with you, yeah.

Songwriters: HAYES, CHRISTOPHER JOHN/LEWIS, HUEY

Ray Parker Junior liked them pretty well.

might it have something to do with peeing on a dead white woman?
