Singer/composer and actor Hughie Lewis (Hugh Anthony Cregg III) and his group the News released the well received album "Sports" in 1984 and the second single from that album was "I Want a New Drug" (Hayes - Lewis). The song peaked at number six on Billboard.
If you remember the hits: "Jack and Jill", "That Old Song", "You Can't Change That" and "A Woman Needs Love" then you remember the group Raydio (Ray Parker, Jr., Vincent Bohnam, Arnell Carmichael and Jerry Knight). Ray Parker Jr. left the group in 1981 and was asked to write the theme for "Ghostbusters". He did and "Ghostbusters" (Ray Parker Jr.) dominated the pop chart for weeks.
In 1985, Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker, Jr. because of the similarities between the two songs. The case was settled out of court with both parties agreeing to keep the settlement secret.
