Huey Lewis, the iconic ’80s musician, has been honored as the first inductee at the People’s Music Hall of Fame in Salt Lake City. Despite his numerous hits, Lewis only received one Grammy and is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The new institution aims to recognize musicians who may have been overlooked in the past. Lewis was praised for his contributions to music and pop culture, with a ceremony featuring performances of his songs by students and fellow musicians.
The event, organized by Caleb Chapman’s Soundhouse, raised funds for music scholarships and featured Governor Spencer Cox participating in a doo-wop cover. Lewis, who is dealing with a hearing condition, expressed his support for live music and encouraged young musicians during the celebration. The People’s Music Hall of Fame plans to honor more deserving artists in the future and inspire the next generation of musicians. Lewis’s timeless music continues to make an impact, with upcoming features in a Bud Light ad and the 40th anniversary of “Back to the Future.”
