Huey Lewis and The News Perform 'Heart of Rock and Roll' at NBC Today Show Concert
In this lively performance from May 30, 1997, at the Today Show, Huey Lewis and the News showcased their hit "Heart of Rock and Roll," reflecting a momentous era in their career. At this time, the band was coming off the success of their album 'Four Chords & Several Years Ago,' released in 1994. This album, which featured a collection of classic rock songs reinterpreted with their signature style, marked a significant point as they transitioned from their peak popularity in the '80s. Yet, Lewis and his crew continued to thrive, proving their timeless appeal. Fun fact: the song "Heart of Rock and Roll" itself is often seen as a tribute to the enduring spirit of rock music. This performance at such a prime venue illustrated not only their staying power but also their connection with the audience, even years after their initial rise to fame.
