Huey Lewis & The News - "Walking On A Thin Line"

When the world lost Casey Kasem in 2014, I thought back to all the Sunday mornings my mom would play The Weekly Top 40.  We'd listen each week because we had to know if there was a new #1 song (it all sounds kinda pathetic by today's standards, but that's what you did in 1984).  My earliest recollections of Huey Lewis & The News was the song "Walking on A Thin Line".  I taped the song off the radio and I remember Casey's booming voice over the end of the song saying: "Moving up two notches is Huey Lewis & The News with 'Walking On A Thin Line'...".  Even today, I can't hear the song without hearing Casey's voice.
