Huey Lewis & The News have sold their catalog in partnership with the high-end acquisition company Primary Wave Music for a reported $20 million. Variety posted about the deal, “encompasses the band’s entire commercially released music catalog from inception through 1994, the period of its biggest hits.
Included in the partnership are such hits as ‘Heart Of Rock & Roll,’ ‘Hip To Be Square,’ ‘Workin’ For a Livin’, and the band’s chart-topping 1985 hit ‘The Power Of Love’ from the blockbuster film Back To The Future.”
Primary Wave Music’s David Weitzman said, “In the 1980s, everyone heard Huey Lewis & The News’ many smashes on radio and saw their iconic & fun videos which appeared on MTV in endless rotation. Their incredibly crafted songs still made me smile, remind me of that seemingly more innocent era, and make me want to sing along at the top of your lungs. Primary Wave look forward to working with Huey to create new opportunities for his storied song catalog into the future.”
