1981 Juice Newton – Juice

Andrew Gold, Dennis Budimir, Fred Tackett, Juice Newton, Neil Stubenhaus, Scott Chambers

Juice is the multi-Platinum 1981 breakthrough album by American country-rock singer Juice Newton. The album was Newton’s third solo album and her first major international success.

The album features two #1 hits “Angel of the Morning” and “The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known)”. It also contains “Queen of Hearts,” the biggest-selling single of Juice Newton’s career, which peaked at #2 on both Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts (“Endless Love” by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie prevented the song from reaching #1). “Queen of Hearts” was a popular music video during the summer of MTV’s debut. Newton would go on to have more hit songs and albums, but this remains the album for which she is best known.
