Hits
"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 pop charts and was a Top-40 country hit as well. The album's second single -- "Break It to Me Gently" (originally a 1962 hit for Brenda Lee) -- won Juice Newton her first Grammy in 1983, in the category of "Best Female Vocalist - Country." The song hit number one on the adult contemporary chart, number two on the country chart and number 11 on the Hot 100. "Heart of the Night", written by John Bettis and Michael Clark, was the opening track for the album. It was released as the third and final single, reaching number four on the adult contemporary chart and 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1983.
