@@randyconger8620 Me too, assuming you mean Merrilee Rush’s version. There are so many iconic things about it - the strings, the snappy snare drum and of course, she sings the true notes in a powerful yet understated way. Much more emotional, IMO.
JUICE NEWTON - " In The Heart Of The Night " 80s Country Rock 🎸 Classics Her Voice and Music are super Rockin' Fantastic this is another one of her Amazing Hits.
Have absolutely loved Juice Newton since the 70's. Her iconic long hair and her eyes just draw me in every time, and then her voice just too wonderful. Had a cassette tape that we wore out in the car from just driving around. On the TV show WKRP, they had a poster of her in the background.
Yet another great song played at Jr High School dances done by our very own and local, Merilee Rush & The Turnabouts. Getting me in my 8th-grade feels today Shawn thank you. Standing at the bleachers with my wallflower self waiting on Mike Johnson to ask me to dance. 😘🤩😂
I lost my mother on my 7th birthday(1982). This was a favorite of hers. I played the cassette many times. Aside frome that. An underrated female vocalist.
"Juice" Newton is a pop & country singer, songwriter & musician. Merrilee Rush had a hit in 1968 with the song "Angel Of The Morning". Juice Newton recorded it in 1981. She had a lot of great hits in the 80's such as "Queen Of Hearts", "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)", "Ride 'Em Cowboy", "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me", "Break It To Me Gently", "Heart Of The Night", "Stranger At My Door", A Little Love", "Restless Heart", "You Make Me Want To Make You Mine", "Hurt," "Both To Each Other (Friends & Lovers)" (with Eddie Rabbitt) etc.
This is a cover. "Angel of the Morning" is a 1967 song written by Chip Taylor and was originally recorded by Evie Sands and first charted by Merrille Rush. It went to number 1 in Canada and number 7 in the United States. In 1981 it was covered by Juice Newton for her sixth studio album Juice. Here's the best version of this song,by Merrille Rush: th-cam.com/video/u4yO35qJxUU/w-d-xo.html
Not a country music fan, but like Juice Newton. However she did little to make her version of Angel of the Morning any different than the original by Merrilee Rush. Perhaps that was a good thing not to turn it in a disco hit or something with a style totally out of the emotional context of the song, like Donna Summer did for MacArthur Park. Yawn...when you keep a song musically within the intent of the writer you do it much more honor than hijacking it because you can't write your own song, or, without listening to the cash register first.
originally by merrilee rush - juice's is ok but merrilee's version just nails it. i remember hearing it for the first time at 15 years old in '68. fell in love instantly.
You should look into the 70's group TAVARES, particularly their song "Heaven Must be Missing an Angel". They just recently had a street dedicated to them in their Hometown of New Bedford, MA
Shawn, I just have to mention “ Little Anthony & The Imperials! “ Hurt So Bad “ is a song by this fantastic group in the late 50’s - 60’s. I want to watch your face during the song. LoL! 👍🩵🩵
This was a cover of Merilee Rush (and the Turnabouts) from 1967 or 1968, can't remember. Both versions are wonderful. It was recorded by others before that, but they never gained any traction in the charts. Merilee's was the first to gain top 40 status. Juice does have more of a slight country or 'Americana' flavor to her voice.
Although she has a pop sound she was marketed as country in the early 80's. Other songs to listen to are "The Sweetest Thing", "Break it to me Gently", "Queen of Hearts" and others.
Her given name is Judith. I prefer Juice and it suits her. She’s one of the most underrated and under-promoted vocalists in history given her talent and vocal prowess. I love that she has the ability to belt out the ballads but she also has a gritty growl around the edges. She was very popular in the early and mis 80’s with hits like “Queen of Hearts” and “Loves Been a Little Bit Hard on Me”. These songs are very playful and catchy. If you want more of her vocal abilities, I suggest first you listen to “The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known)”. It is amazing. Other ballads are “Break It To Me Gently” and “It’s a Heartache”. Thanks for giving her the attention she deserves.
Juice Newton was a huge artist in the 80's on both the Country and Pop charts. You should react to ""Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me" and the Video to "The Queen Of Hearts" is hilarious. I was a big fan of Juice. I would have been a sophomore in High School when this came out in 1981. Can you maybe react to a Kelly Willis song like "I Don't Want To Love You", "One More Time", Baby Take a Piece of My Heart" (Not the Janis Joplin song), or "The Heart That Love Forgot". That one will blow you away. How about a Holly Dunn song like "No One Takes The Train Anymore" I have yet to hear anyone react to that song despite recommendations.
An Absolutely ICONIC MUST HEAR & The MOST PREFERRED version of this classic is,, Merilee Rush & The Turnabouts "Angel Of The Morning" 1968 Grammy Nominated.
@@tommcgowan525 That's 100% understandable..I wish I could've said the very same,, But instead in the Southwest with my brothers & sisters. Navajo/Bil Hozhoni (The Happy One)
The original by Merilee Rush had more dramatic impact, probably because in 1968 one night stands were not as morally acceptable. But I like this version too because her voice is fabulous and that finish is awesome.
Marylee Rush ( misspelled?) did it first, I like her version better, but I also like this one!! Oops sorry I thought she was first ,hers is the first one I heard.
Yes,, If someone wants it technically correct,, It's actually Merilee Rush & The Turnabouts "Angel Of The Morning" (1968) Being Grammy Award Nominated For "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance"..MANY versions have been recorded,, But her version was/is still the most well known,, liked & stood the test of time.
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN - " MAGIC " (Video) Her most beloved songs of 1980 to date. Plus " SUDDENLY " HD version Video or HQ. Version also 1980 . Important!! That this song has to be 4 minutes or a little over But Certainly NOT 3 1/2 min it's Wrong version because the song CUTS out without finishing it. She Looks Stunningly beautiful and Has the most Angelical voice ever in these 2 Incredible & Beautiful songs
Juice Newton had many hits, but it seemed like she was not appreciated enough for her music. I'm not sure but I seem to remember her as both a pop and country singer. If I'm wrong, I'm sure I'll hear about it🙄😬
in the early 80s SNL did a filmed piece on the dangerous effects video arcade games were having on young people. they equated it with drug addiction. at one point during the film an "addiction specialist" said, "why not spend your money on an album,like juice newton? for the amount of money you spend on video games you could own a juice newtom record". so to me she will always be a punch line.
This has always been a guilty pleasure song for me. I am a woman in her mid 60's that has never been very sexual, always hidden in a shell but this song really speaks to my inner woman. I love 'that note'.
Ah, I think Merrilee Rush’s original version is better than this one. It came out in the late ‘60s when I was a young girl and it scandalized us back then. 😂
Merilee Rush first recorded this song in 1968, Juice Newton covered it in 1981. Their deliveries of the song were completely different but each equally good . DO NOT bother with the Pet Shop Boys rendition (1985) - it's beyond insipid. So totally soulless they may as well have sung the alphabet.
@@MichaelHHHH - Thank you - no, I hadn't heard of her & just now looked her up. She recorded it first in 1967; however, the label went bankrupt and although it was a highly requested record, it didn't achieve what it might have otherwise. Thanks again for enlightening me!
Since your take on this one, especially the briliant percussion arrangement, is so disappointing and wrongheaded it's apparent that you'd probably prefer Merilee Rush's drab and inferior original.

Merrilee Rush recorded this song in the late 1960s, which I like just as much as Juice's version more than a decade later.
I liked hers more

Newton's doesn't improve on or differ from Rush's. Listen to Rush - it's a little better
I like Merillee's version much better. Shawn, here's Merillee's

It's hard to remake such a classic. Juice did a great job and called attention to the original which can never be forgotten
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and Juice Newton slays it.
I've had a crush on Juice since the 70's. Beautiful and great singer!
Juice Newton have to also hear her song and maybe check out the video of:
“Queen Of Hearts”!!
You’ll love it !!

You're probably remembering "Angel" by Shaggy featuring Rayvon that interpolates "Angel of the Morning"

This is a great song from the 60’s by Merrilee Rush, sung later by Juice Newton…a great singer who did a wonderful job. ♥️🌹
❤❤THE SWEETEST THING....QUEEN OF HEARTS❤❤
Beautiful song, it was a crossover hit, played on pretty much all radio stations, country, pop, soft rock. Love it!
I like it. Like her Queen of Hearts song too
I suggest "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me" next. Great song and the video is hilarious!!
Juice!!!!!! was a huge hit on the top 40 pop charts too!

@@thomastimlin1724 I agree with you 100%!
Queen of Hearts is my favorite Juice Newton song, but it’s close to The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known). You should check those out.
originally by merrilee rush - juice's is ok but merrilee's version just nails it. i remember hearing it for the first time at 15 years old in '68. fell in love instantly.

Check out her song Break It To Me Gently. Very beautiful, powerful, and soulful.
The sweetest thing is a very good song as well
My grown daughters still remember me playing this non stop
I love this song. Love Juice!!!

Got to meet Merilee and hang with her northwest native Americans friends good times

YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THE SONG BUT ALSO WHO ( POPULATED ) IT SHAWN 😊AND JUICE POPULATED IT BY FARRRR!💯
Good cover but love the Merilee Rush version. Gotta give a nod to Evie Sands for the original. Them late sixties.
I think sngel by shaggy used sampled this?
This is used in deadpool 2
Juice Newton had many hits, but it seemed like she was not appreciated enough for her music. I'm not sure but I seem to remember her as both a pop and country singer. If I'm wrong, I'm sure I'll hear about it🙄😬
That's what I think of when I remember Juice.
She was mostly a cover-artist.
Banger.....................
in the early 80s SNL did a filmed piece on the dangerous effects video arcade games were having on young people. they equated it with drug addiction. at one point during the film an "addiction specialist" said, "why not spend your money on an album,like juice newton? for the amount of money you spend on video games you could own a juice newtom record". so to me she will always be a punch line.
Merrilee Rush did the version I first heard, and find that no one else has surpassed her....
🤣🤣🤣
lol - this was a hit at the same time as 'Elvira' - remember that one peeps?
One of my all time Favs.Although the original is just a little better..But Juice is great..I got both records .Try All these things by The Unique's
This has always been a guilty pleasure song for me. I am a woman in her mid 60's that has never been very sexual, always hidden in a shell but this song really speaks to my inner woman. I love 'that note'.
Another hit was Love's been a little bit hard on me. If you love her voice you should check out any of those songs you mentioned. They're all great
See chip taylor songs... from wild thing, to f*%k all the perfect people. And many many more! AMAZING.
Try her other song ( Queen of Hearts )
Every teenager from the ‘80’s knew this song…She was known as ONJ.
I like Juice Newton's hit "Loves Been A Little Hard On Me"
Didn't Shaggy sample this, or some form of it???
This is definitely the one you're thinking of.
.....I cannot stop thinking about Deadpool.......
This is alright, but I much prefer the original version by Merrilee Rush
Nice
Promising Young Woman soundtrack
You not knowing this song tells me you never watched Deadpool.
shaggy covered it with a reggae beat
💖💖💖
I prefer the original, but more power to Juice.
The guy who wrote this song also wrote wild thing ho figure
Juice did a very nice cover though I still prefer the hit version byMerilee Rush!!!
3 other women did this song in the 60's
Very risqué for a female artist to sing in the 1968 Juice Newton’s version is over produced for the sediment of this song
Ah, I think Merrilee Rush’s original version is better than this one. It came out in the late ‘60s when I was a young girl and it scandalized us back then. 😂
Evie Sands did the original version.
