On the week of August 17, 1985, Tears for Fears held the top spot with ‘Shout,’ which spent three weeks at #1.
Right behind it, on its way to its own #1 berth, was Huey Lewis and the News’ ‘The Power of Love,’ lead single of the soundtrack of blockbuster hit Back to the Future. The song plays early in the film as Marty McFly skateboards to school, followed shortly by Lewis himself in a cameo as an uptight school employee.
This was Huey Lewis and the News’ first #1 single on the Hot 100, a year after their previous album (Sports) put four songs in the top ten. The band’s next album, Fore, produced two #1 hits. The mid-80s was a good time to be these guys.
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling; that’s the power of love
[Verse 2]
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl’s dream
Make a bad one good, mmm, make a wrong one right
Power of love’d keep you home at night
[Chorus]
You don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That’s the power of love
That’s the power of love
[Verse 3]
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might, mmm, make you mad
But you’ll be glad, baby, when you’ve found
That’s the power, makes the world go ’round
[Chorus]
And it don’t take money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
It’s strong and it’s sudden, it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
[Bridge]
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don’t care
But you’ll know what to do (You’ll know what to do)
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You’ll feel the power of love
Feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
Hmm, hmm
[Chorus]
It don’t take money and don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won’t feel nothin’ ’til you feel
You feel the power, just feel the power of love
That’s the power, that’s the power of love
[Outro]
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

This is probably not cool to admit, but I was a big Huey Lewis fan, and still enjoy hearing their songs whenever they come on the radio. What can I say, it’s hip to be square.😛
I remember Huey Louis was very popular in our home ❤️
