Answer: Huey Lewis

Huey Lewis recorded the single "Power Of Love" (1985) which was created for the film. It became the first number one song for Huey Lewis and the News. In the film, Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) was auditioning with his band to perform at the prom. Huey Lewis appeared as the faculty member chosen to judge the bands to decide who gets to play at the dance.

While donning glasses, Hewey listens as the band plays "Power Of Love" after which he stops them and tells Marty, "I'm sorry fellows but you are just too darn loud". Flea (guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers) appeared in parts II and III as Douglas Needles, who antagonizes Marty. ZZ-Top appears in part III as a hillbilly band in 1885. Chuck Berry doesn't appear in the film but while Marty is on stage in 1955 at the prom, he replaces the guitar player whose name is Marvin Berry.

Karl vows to protect the two and so later in the film he kills the Yoakam character and then calls the police confessing to the crime. Yoakam is one of country music's most successful artist selling more than 25 million records. I also found out that he is the most frequent musical guest to appear on "The Tonight Show".
