For the Friday Forgotten 45 at 3:45 we go back to July 24th, 1982 for Juice Newton with “Love’s Been A Little Bit Hard On Me”.

Born Judith Kay Newton in New Jersey, Juice starting her recording career in the early 70’s but it wasn’t until her third album “Juice” was released in 1981 that her career really took off. The album featured three top ten pop hits and her follow-up album “Quiet Lies” in ’82 featured the hits “Break It To Me Gently” and “Love’s Been A Little Bit Hard On Me”, a song that went to #7 on the pop charts.

She went on to record seven more top 10 hits on the country chart between 1985 and 1987. These days she spends her time working with horses and equestrian sports. From this date in 1982, it’s Juice Newton with “Love’s Been A Little Bit Hard On Me” it’s the Friday Forgotten 45.
