Why does he get over looked as one of the greatest vocalist of all time

His performance on The Flame might be greatest ever. An absolute cheesy song lyrically made great by him

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they 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. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Is this an AI writeup?

Rumor back in the 80s was that Huey was hung like a donkey. Don’t know if it’s true or not, but you could always ask your mom.

This concert is a WTTW produced concert, released in 1994 to follow up HLN's "Four Chords And Several Years Ago" Album. This was recorded and taped at the WTTW soundstage in Chicago IL. There are multiple stage setups and outfits that HLN utilizes in this concert. This probably took countless hours to film. Great show IMO, really shows what this band can do and how strong they sound. This concert was released in 1994 on VHS and Laserdisc only. This specific concert was taken off a Laserdisc.
(Please excuse the captions, they are hard coded into the video.)
