"Finally Found A Home" by Huey Lewis and the News

The 80s are synonymous with Huey Lewis and the News, everyone's favorite bar band that made the big time. With their catchy hooks and delectable harmony vocals, Huey and the boys became the 13th most successful act of the decade. Three #1 hits adorn the band's resume, including "The Power Of Love" (from the film Back to the Future), "Stuck With You," and "Jacob's Ladder" (written by Bruce Hornsby).

While Huey's sophomore record, "Picture This," produced three charting singles, it was the third album, "Sports," that launched the band into the stratosphere. "Finally Found A Home" is one of the great deep tracks on this phenomenal record, and one of the few not released as a single. It's also rare to hear acoustic guitar featured in their songs.

Huey Lewis and the News stayed strong into the 90s, with tunes like "Couple Days Off" (#11) and "It Hit Me Like A Hammer" (#21). The band's last chart appearance occurred in 1994 with a cover of "But It's Alright," which reached #54.
