Your THURSDAY K-101.7 Song Of The Day!

Here's a toe tapper from the dawn of the 80's!  Country music, man. The suits crave the cross-over into pop land. SO MUCH MONEY THERE! Taylor Swift. Shania Twain. Juice Newton.

JUICE  NEWTON?

Juice Newton recalls "I thought is was a real cool song...so we cut it."

#2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in September 1981, only behind "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie."Queen of Hearts" also hit big in in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and Switzerland and more moderate success in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. Juice Newton earned a 1982 Grammy nomination for Best Female Vocalist in the C&W category, "Queen of Hearts", having hit 14 on the Country singles chart. That's right, it was a bigger pop hit than a country hit..

And it's your K-101.7 Song Of The Day!
