The band also wrote and performed "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" for the hit film "Back to the Future." "The Power of Love," nominated for an Academy Award, went to #1 on Billboard's singles chart.
In addition to performing their many hits, Huey Lewis & The News also incorporates a variety of other songs into their live shows, including a cappella renditions of such classic early rock 'n roll hits as "It's Alright," "Little Bitty Pretty One," and "Sixty Minute Man."
