"Heart and Soul" was the first single from Sports, issued by Chrysalis in 1983, and Huey Lewis and the News made it their own even though it came from outside writers Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. The band produced it themselves, Jim Gaines recorded it and Bob Clearmountain mixed, with Lewis out front on lead vocals, Chris Hayes on guitar, Sean Hopper on keyboards, Mario Cipollina on bass and Bill Gibson on drums. It's slick, sturdy bar-band pop, built to jump out of a car radio.
That November it reached number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Top Rock Tracks chart, and it went on to a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal, Group at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards.
