Huey Lewis
"Huey Lewis Reveals Ménière's Disease Diagnosis, Cancels All Shows Due To Hearing Loss"
Huey reveals that although he can still hear “a little,” he can no longer hear music well enough to sing.
"The response from my colleagues, friends and fans has been truly overwhelming. And extremely heartening. It helps me to focus on improving, and finding a way to sing again. Thanks to everyone." - Huey

Very sad that he had to give up what he long loved doing, not to mention that was his livelihood.
I was a definite fan of Huey Lewis and the News during the '80s. They had so many great hits.
Some of them:

Yes, that's very nice.
"Stuck with You" - also a major hit with a fun video to accompany it.
Huey and the News also appear in a capalo performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" at one point or another before a sports event.
Also, Huey's neat trio with Kim Carnes and Cyndi Lauper, as a subset in the talent-spangled charity anthem "We Are the World."

I'm not the praying type, but that's too bad. That guy has a kind of soothing voice that I like listening to.

Huey Lewis was the only pop music singer who sounded anything like him. Between his voice and his group's songs, which always had a very distinctive sound, he and the group were instantly recognizable anytime one of their new songs would come on the radio.
By the way, I see that his real name is Hugh Anthony Cregg III.
