Natural beauty at it finest.

Juice, Playin' with the Queen of Hearts

[@revjohnlee]

When I was in high school, I heard this all the time. I didn't much of it one way or another and I didn't give the singer a second thought either. Now, as a grumpy old man in good standing, I know what a fool I was to have paid so little attention to a veritable angle with an angelic voice.

[@dingleberrysnigglefritz]

Your description of the song in your face making you love it is so real. lol

[@jamesbailey2377]

BizMatik: You’re my favorite reviewer. You’re the only reviewer (other than Charismatic Voice because she’s so beautiful in many ways) that I regret not getting to hang out and just discuss stuff. You really dig into songs and pay attention to them. I feel like your attention is 100% into the artist/song and you are really interested in knowing the song. Ain’t a thing about you that’s phony. Don’t ever change, man.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

I agree whole heartedly

[@dlla2661]

I can't believe how well this song has held up. It sounds so fresh. I loved it when it came out and I love it now. This version was a huge hit too. Thanks for checking it out.

[@PaintingandExercise]

I love her songs, "The Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known" and "Break It To Me Gently". Those songs really show off her singing skills and the emotion that she brings to the song.

[@wg7644]

Certain singers are flawless.....Karen Carpenter....I would say Juice Newton is too.

[@LoveTheVideo]

I love those songs too!

[@beckystarrski]

“Queen of Hearts”❤❤❤✌️

[@cletushouse906]

Damn! What a voice.

[@suemontague3151]

This is a beautiful song 🎵

[@dennisflury6942]

another great pick, nice reaction too!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

♥ such a pretty song!

[@barbarascotto3873]

My mother loved this song. This brings back my childhood. 💔

[@jayfultz3495]

My mom, and auntie used to listen to it in the car when I was little. It's so nostalgic.

[@Timoeltejano]

This was written by Chip Taylor (aka Wes Voight- brother of actor John Voight) I heard him interviewed on Sirius XM and he says as soon as he'd with the first words "there'll be no chains to bind your hands not if my live can't bind your heart" he says he got chills and goosebumps all up and down his arms. Great song writing

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤❤THE SWEETEST THING❤❤

[@echopryme]

So... its kinda forgotten now. But this song was DAMNED MONSTER when it first came out. I think I was, like, 4 years old when it dropped... but that melody stuck in my head for the rest of my life, even then. 💯

[@thomastimlin1724]

Merelee Rush had the original hit in 1968, this is a cover many years later. A new gene ration had probably never heard of the song. Merelee's version went to #7 on the Billboard hot 100, and earned her a Grammy nomination for female vocalist of the year in 1968. Juice Newton's 1981 version went to #4, not much difference. except that songwriter Chip Taylor made more money, and Juice's brother Fig could afford go to college.

[@wm8498]

I adore Juice. She was quite popular in the late 70's into the 80's. Check out Break It to Me Gently, Queen of Hearts, Love's Been a Little Bit Hard On Me or The Sweetest Thing.

[@f.d.7190]

What a woman!

[@dange6690]

Queen of Hearts is another great one! Plus it will get stuck in your head and you will walk around, singing or humming the tune for no reason!

[@caryriggs5719]

The original Marele Rush version in 1968 was very provocative for it's time. Juice did it justice

[@bobsawin1920]

I attended a Juice Newton show in Pennsylvania and John Prine opened, circa 1980ish. Half the crowd left after John performed, and she asked if they sold season tickets to the venue. She is a fine artist but John Prine is a ledgend.

[@davidw7]

Better redo my post. In Appalachia PA today... they would stay. She is not too woke for them today. She is actually their kind..... using that overused and abused term. He beauty would have kept the good ole boys.

[@kathystammen8774]

Her best song is the sweetest thing. It reminds me of my husband. It is a beautiful tune. You’ve been playing some bangers baby.

[@dantallman5345]

Angel of the Morning reminds of Barbara Mandrell’s song, Angel in Your Arms….(this morning will be the devil in someone else’s arms tonight). Another one of Juice’s songs that will hook you is Queen of Hearts. Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard On Me is another catchy one.

[@paulrt3]

"Queen of Hearts" is one you should check out. Also, "The Sweetest thing (I've ever known", "Love's been a little bit hard on me", and "Break it to me gently".

[@robertwatson2823]

Thanks for the reaction, Biz!! My favorite female singer. "Hurt" and "Break it to me Gently" are awesome as well!!

[@yourfanfromAZ]

This was Big, in its day.

[@davidmaholchic6146]

So many Bangerz love your channel

[@garyarnett1220]

This version was huge. Bigger than shaggy's or the original.

[@Hound427]

The only Shaggy us old folks know was on Scooby Doo 😂. But trust us, her version was big.

[@joelliebler5690]

Real good cover of the original done in the 1960’s.

[@ThistleAndSea]

Loved Juice Newton. 😊

[@ednafenton7558]

If you want to laugh, watch the video "Loves been a little bit hard on me." Juice Newton has a great sense of humor. 😂😂😂

[@johntiggleman4686]

I'm just a little late to the reaction, Biz...but this version is so much better than the one recorded by Merrilee Rush. And the end where she holds that last note to fade out...I still get chills hearing it.

[@GoWestYoungMan]

I must have been in my 'house music phase' as I absolutely know Juice Newton and this song but Shaggy is a mystery. I might have heard the name Shaggy before but not sure. I didn't know this was covered by anyone/never heard the cover.

[@LoveTheVideo]

Love this! I love Shaggy’s version too.

[@tonyporenshenko425]

Beautiful hair

[@christianhelberg7958]

I much prefer this version to the original one sung by Evie Sands. Juice is great

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Hell Ya

[@leomarshall4059]

Long story short: The song is about a one-night stand.

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Folk rock... Imagine if it was recorded a decade earlier! Good live sound but very commercial,

[@donaldduck2139]

😅😅your shaggy impression was worth watching on its own...yeah...a lot of borrowed tunes...I actually liked the shaggy too, but not as much as this one...be over 40 years old now I suppose 1980 - 81 cheers for the company young bro and the laugh

[@elainedixon1954]

My take on it, he was married and had an affair, with her. Remember when it came out, I am nearly 70 years old

[@gracefuller9981]

Hi have a listen to Edie Brickle: Green I think you’ll enjoy it

[@John_Locke_108]

The Scooby Doo gang had an album? Or was it just shaggy and Scooby do.

[@Mark-iv7np]

Good cover but I prefer the original in 1968 by Merrilee Rush. Was a big hit.

[@robertphelps1574]

The songs was originally released in 1967 by Evie Sands

[@13terapyn]

Shaggy had a couple of good songs (imo). Definitely did not like the cover/sample you referenced. You're spot on about not being able to escape his version. UGH. Yet to read the comments but certain others mentioned it was a massive global hit

[@rs-ye7kw]

Much prefer the original by Merilee Rush. It's softer and feels more heartfelt. This version seems more screechy to me.

[@alicorydorie5429]

No freaking way. Ridiculous
