This 1983 record reached second in sales at the end of 1984, only beat out by Michael Jackson's *Thriller*. So that should give you an idea of just how big this album was, spawning hit single after hit single. In fact that was Huey Lewis's plan all along - according to him this was the only way to stay alive in the record industry back in the early to mid '80's.

Those of you familiar with *Sports* may be surprised to see me recommend tracks 5 through 7 rather than the more popular and familiar 1 through 4\. For me, those songs got so much airtime on the radio and MTV that I wanted to suggest less popular but still familiar ones to listen to instead.

So, get that feel good feeling ready for 'Walking On A Thin Line,' 'Finally Found A Home' and 'If This Is It.'
