Huey Lewis & The News – Small World (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988

“Small World” was the second single released, and title track of the fifth studio LP by American Pop/Rock band Huey Lewis & The News. The single debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 on October 8, 1988, peaking at #25 on November 26, 1988, after spending eleven weeks on the survey.

Huey Lewis & The News – The Power Of Love (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

“The Power of Love” is a 1985 single by Huey Lewis and the News, written for and featured in the 1985 blockbuster film Back to the Future. It gave the band their first number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and their second number-one hit on the U.S. Top Rock Tracks chart; and as a double-A side, it was a top ten hit on the Official UK Singles Chart, where it appeared on UK editions of the band’s fourth studio album, Fore!.

The song appears early in Back to the Future as Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) skateboards to school. Later in the film, McFly and his band play a hard rock version of the song for a Battle of the Bands audition (at which a character played by Huey Lewis himself is judging and tells Marty’s group that they are “just too darn loud”) and later when Marty returns to his neighborhood. In the sequel, Back to the Future Part II, the 2015 version of Marty attempts to play the song on his guitar just after being fired but ends up playing it very poorly due to his damaged hand from his 1985 accident with a Rolls-Royce. Finally, it can be briefly heard playing in the car where Needles and his buddies are driving when Needles challenges Marty to the fate-determining car race near the end of Back to the Future Part III.

At the 13th Annual American Music Awards, the song was nominated for “Favorite Single” and “Favorite Video Single”, winning in both categories. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 58th Academy Awards but lost to Lionel Richie’s “Say You, Say Me”.
