"A Little Love" by Juice Newton

Juice Newton (Judith Kay Cohen) started singing country and folk music as a teenager, and by 1974 had a backing band known as the Silver Spur. She went solo in 1978 and scored her first chart hit with "It's A Heartache." Juice's version only reached #86, overshadowed by Bonnie Tyler, who took it to #3 that same year.

No worries, as superstardom was just around the corner for Juice. In 1981, she scored four consecutive top 10 hits (almost five - "Break It To Me Gently" just missed, coming in at #11). Among her best remembered hits are "Angel Of The Morning" and "Queen Of Hearts," which peaked at #4 and #2, respectively.

By 1984, people were losing their taste for Juice, and a great song like "A Little Love" couldn't muster enough interest to get past #44 on the chart.
