Juice Newton Angel of the Morning

“Angel of the Morning” is a popular song written by Chip Taylor and recorded by many artists, most notably by Merrilee Rush, P. P. Arnold, Connie Eaton, Mary Mason, Guys ‘n’ Dolls, Melba Montgomery, and Juice Newton. The song was composed in 1967 by Chip Taylor, who said of it: “I wrote Angel of the Morning after hearing The Rolling Stones song Ruby Tuesday on the car radio when I was driving into New York City. I wanted to capture that kind of passion.”

The highest-charting and best-selling version in the United States were recorded and released in 1981 by country-rock singer Juice Newton for her album Juice. Newton re-interpreted the song at the suggestion of Steve Meyer, who promoted Capitol Records singles and albums to radio stations and felt a version of “Angel of the Morning” by Newton would be a strong candidate for airplay.

The song “Angel”, released by reggae artist Shaggy, heavily samples the melody of “Angel of the Morning”. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending March 31, 2001. Swedish singer Jill Johnson released “Angel of the Morning”, with lyrics in English, in 2007 from her album of cover versions, Music Row. This version peaked at No. 30 on the Swedish singles chart.

Juice Newton Queen of Hearts

Queen of Hearts is a country-pop song written by Hank DeVito, the pedal steel guitarist in Emmylou Harris’s backing group The Hot Band, and was first recorded by Dave Edmunds on his 1979 album Repeat When Necessary.

It was released as a single and reached No. 11 in the UK and No. 12 in Ireland that year, but failed to chart substantially elsewhere in the world. The most successful version of the song was recorded by Juice Newton in 1981 – her version reached #2 in the United States, Canada, Australia, Denmark, South Africa, and New Zealand.

The song also appears as source music in the first episode of The Americans, a 2013 television series set during the first Reagan administration. The song is also featured in the 1998 King of the Hill episode Hank’s Dirty Laundry and the 2017 South Park episode “Splatty Tomato”.

Juice Newton The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known)

“The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known)” is a country-pop song written by Otha Young for Juice Newton in the mid-1970s. Newton was known for charting hits on the Hot 100, AC, and Hot Country charts – and this song has the distinction of being the only single of hers to reach the top 10 on all three of those charts, peaking at #1 on two of them.

In early 1982, “The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known)” reached No. 1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, No. 1 on the Billboard country chart, and No. 7 on the Billboard pop chart, where it remained in the Top 40 for eighteen weeks. The single is the only of Juice Newton’s to reach the Top 10 on all three charts. On Billboard’s year-end Top 40 chart, the song charted at No. 21 of all the singles of 1982.

Juice Newton Friends

That recording remained unreleased until the summer of 1986 when it was released shortly after a version by Juice Newton and Eddie Rabbitt hit country radio. The country version featured the altered title of “Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)

In 1986, country-pop singers Juice Newton and Eddie Rabbitt released a version of “Friends and Lovers”, altering the title to emphasize the final line of the chorus. Technically, Newton and Rabbitt’s recording is a pre-release cover version, since it was commercially available before the pop version was released. Therefore, even though Loring and Anderson recorded the song first, Newton and Rabbitt are credited with the original commercial version.

Juice Newton, It’s a Heartache

“‘It’s a Heartache” is a song recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. Written by Ronnie Scott and Steve Wolfe, and co-produced with David Mackay, the single was released in November 1977 through RCA Records. The song topped the charts in Australia, Canada, and numerous European countries, and reached no. 3 in the USA and no. 4 in the UK.

It is listed among the best-selling singles of all time with sales of over six million copies. In the United States, Tyler’s version was released in 1978 around the same time as recordings by Juice Newton and Ronnie Spector.

Juice Newton Quiet Lies

Quiet Lies is a 1982 album by American pop-country star Juice Newton. It reached #20 on the Billboard pop chart and includes three major hits, “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me”, “Break It to Me Gently” and “Heart of the Night”. Quiet Lies sold more than 900,000 copies in the United States in 1982 (earning Newton her fourth RIAA Gold certification) and was re-issued on CD in 1990 and 2006.

“Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me” was the first single released from the 1982 album, for which Newton received a “Best Female Vocalist – Pop” nomination. The video for this song received the “Video of the Year” award from the American Video Association. The song reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts. It peaked at #30 on the Country chart.

Juice Newton Today

Newton had always been moderately popular in country music; she responded to her waning popularity in the pop market by targeting her next album, 1985’s Old Flame, solely to country audiences.

The strategic move was a success; the album revitalized her career, reached No. 12 on the Billboard album chart, and featured six Top-10 country hits, including the No. 1s “You Make Me Want to Make You Mine”, “Hurt,” and “Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)” (with Eddie Rabbitt), none of which (unlike her previous efforts) appeared at all on the pop charts.

Juice Newton RCA

Juice left Capitol to return to RCA in 1984. Her first album Can’t-Wait All Night continued with a more rock sound. The first single “A Little Love” and the title track became her final Top 40 pop singles reaching #42 and #66 respectively while “Restless Heart” made it to 57 on the country chart.

The following year, Juice had her most successful country album yet in Old Flame, featuring five top-10 country hits (including the #1s “You Make Me Want to Make You Mine” and “Hurt”).

Juice recorded a duet album in the early 90s but it was met with legal issues, resulting in a very low-impact release of the Platinum & Gold Series of duets. Judy spent the next 9 years touring, horseback riding, and focusing on family life. She returned in 1998 with “the Trouble with Angels,” a collection of re-recorded favorites and several new tracks.
