- Scored a perfect 800 on his math SATs.
- Huey dropped out of Cornell University to spend a year living in Europe playing the harp.
- Has a small cameo in Back to the Future (1985), a film for which he also contributed two songs.
- In 1967 he graduated from Lawrenceville Prep at the age of 16 in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
- The original name of his band was "Huey Lewis and the American Express". It was later changed to Huey Lewis & The News, due to legal reasons.
- A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records. Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis' keep getting better and better.
