Juice Newton (born Judy Kay Newton 18 February 1952 in Lakehurst, New Jersey) is a Grammy Award-winning American pop music and country singer and guitarist. To date, Newton has received a total of five Grammy nominations in the Pop and Country Best Female Vocalist categories (winning once in 1983), as well as a CMA Award for Best New Female Artist and two Billboard Album Artist of the Year awards (won consecutively). She has several Gold and Platinum records to her credit, including Juice, Quiet Lies and her first Greatest Hits album. In the 1980s, Newton charted 14 top-ten hits across the Billboard US Country, US AC, and the US Hot 100, with many of the recordings achieving crossover success.

In 1994, Newton contributed a track called "Lovers Of One Day" to the Edith Piaf Edith Piaf tribute album, which also included songs by Pat Benatar and Donna Summer.

In 1995, she recorded a double-album of pop duets (which was slated to be sold via info-mercial), but the project was riddled with legal issues, resulting in a low-impact, "accidental" release of the "Platinum & Gold" series of duets in the early 2000s (the CD set was released without Newton's permission). Subsequently, bootleg CDs including most of the duets turned up on U.S. store shelves as "Gold & Platinum, Volumes 7 and 8". Those CDs also contain 1995 solo versions of three of Newton's pop hits ("Angel of the Morning", "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me" and "Queen of Hearts"). During most of the '90s, Juice Newton spent her time touring sporadically, horseback riding, and focusing on her family.

Newton returned to recording in 1998 with "The Trouble with Angels", a collection of seven re-recorded hits and three new tracks, including the single "When I Get Over You". The 1998 effort was quickly followed by American Girl in 1999, which was Newton's first album of all-new material since 1989 and featured the single "They Never Made It To Memphis". The collection featured tracks written by Otha Young, Freddie Mercury, Nanci Griffith, Tom Petty and Newton herself.

Every Road Leads Back to You (consisting of live material with a bonus EP of four studio recordings of new songs) was released in 2002 with an accompanying DVD. And American Girl Vol. II, which is sold exclusively on cdbaby.com and at Newton's live shows, was released in 2003.

In 2005, Juice Newton appeared on the TV show "Hit Me Baby One More Time" on which she performed a well-received rendition of Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces Of Me" and a truncated version of "Queen of Hearts"; online voters selected her performance as their favorite of the five acts that appeared on the episode. In the mid-2000s, Newton also contributed tracks to the albums "An All-Star Tribute To Cher" and "An All-Star Tribute to Shania Twain".

On November 15, 2007, Newton released "The Gift of Christmas", her first Christmas album. The 12-song album includes a new version of Newton's "Christmas Needs Love To Be Christmas" and the classic "Mary's Boy Child", as well as a special Christmas version of "For Believers", an Otha Young-penned song first recorded in 1983 for the "Dirty Looks" album.
