“So sad to hear of Steve Cropper’s passing. He was a giant. One of the architects of Memphis soul music, he wrote, produced and played on so many important songs. His music will live on forever. He was also as generous and sweet as anyone I’ve ever met. It’s a sad day for American music, but heaven just got funkier.” – Huey Lewis

“Friends and Fans . . . sorry I’ve been in absentia for so long, but I’ve been completely immersed in a new Huey Lewis and The News project that should certainly raise eyebrows and put smiles on faces everywhere. Stay tuned and keep your eyes and ears open!” – Johnny Colla

“So sad about Ozzy. I recorded a Clover album in 1975 or 1976 in Rockfield Wales at the same studio as Sabbath and we played soccer at lunch several days together. He was very savvy, very sweet, and very funny. He will be missed.” – Huey Lewis

Johnny: Yours Truly, Brian Wilson, and my bride Christie-Claire . . . a magical backstage dream-come-true moment for me! Hands-down, Brian was my NUMBER ONE musical influence growing up in the early sixties. He made me aware that a chord could have more than three notes, a song could ‘live’ in more than one key, and it was okay for a man to express his deepest feelings on love, relationships, and the world at large. Brian, you now have all the time in the world to write that big chord progression in the sky…
