Huey Lewis had doubts when he was invited to write a song for the movie 'Back to the Future'—until a run with a Walkman in 1984 inspired him to write 'The Power of Love.' Here's the story of how the Oscar-nominated pop hit was made.
By 1984, Huey Lewis and the News had eight Billboard pop hits but none cracked the top five. Then came an offer to write a theme for the movie “Back to the Future.” Mr. Lewis nearly passed.
He feared a song with that title would make the News sound retro and dated. So he went with “The Power of Love.” The single became a No. 1 Billboard pop hit in 1985 and was nominated for an Oscar.
