in 1977. The band broke up shortly after releasing just one more album. In late 1977, Newton went solo, continuing to record for Capitol, and until 1982 Silver Spur remained the name of her backing band. Newton also sang backing vocals for three tracks on Bob Welch's platinum solo debut album, including his hit " Ebony Eyes". Near the end of 1977, " It's a Heartache" became Newton's first solo record and a major hit in Mexico, where it was eventually certified Gold, and in 1978, she released it in the United States. “It’s a Heartache” became the first of what would eventually be her 11 "Hot 100" pop hits.

In 1978, Newton legally changed her name from "Judy Kay Newton" to "Juice Newton" ("Juice" having long been her nickname). Newton's solo debut album ''Well Kept Secret'' was released later in 1978. Neither ''Well Kept Secret'' nor its sole single "Hey Baby" charted, but Capitol Records did renew Newton's contract. In 1979 Capitol's investment in Newton began to pay off as Newton had her first Top-40 Country hit with "Let's Keep It That Way" (another one-off single). Later that year, the album '' Take Heart'' featured five modestly-charting singles: "Until Tonight", " Any Way That You Want Me", "You Fill My Life", " Lay Back in the Arms of Someone", and "

A fourth single " Ride 'Em Cowboy" from ''Juice'' was released in 1984 to support Newton's first ''Greatest Hits'' album, reaching the Billboard Country Top 40 chart. In 1981, Newton's video for "Angel of the Morning" was the first country-music video to air on MTV, and the 40th video to air on the channel overall.

(Note: in 1981 and 1982, when these singles were certified, the RIAA standard for Gold singles was "more than 1 million copies sold"; in 1989, RIAA lowered the standard to 500,000 for Gold single certifications.) The songs were also sizable hits in Canada, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. For example, "Angel of the Morning" peaked at No. 1 in Canada and No. 43 in the UK Singles Chart in 1981. While "The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)" did not receive a U.S. certification, the song's popularity propelled album sales from Gold to Platinum, and the recording remained in the Top 40 (of the Hot 100) for 18 weeks. "Shot Full Of Love" was released as a single in the UK, but failed to chart. In the spring of 1982 Newton released her fourth solo album, '' Quiet Lies,'' which sold 900,000 copies in the United States. The album went platinum in Canada (100,000 copies).

on the "Salem Spirit" double-headliner tour. (Various acts opened for Newton and Alabama.) The direction for Newton's sixth and final Capitol album, 1983's ''Dirty Looks,'' was decidedly more rock-oriented and experimental than her usual blending of folk, pop and country styles. The album spawned a moderate-sized hit with "Tell Her No" (Hot 100 No. 27/AC No. 14) and the title track, a rock-edged number that charted low in the Hot 100. The single "Stranger at My Door" had a brief run on the country charts. The album was a moderate success, selling more than 300,000 copies in the United States and going Gold in Canada (50,000 copies). (The song "Dirty Looks" was written by Dave Robbins and Van Stephenson, who would later become part of the Country group Blackhawk in the 1990s. The pair also wrote Newton's 1984 country single "Restless Heart".) According to a 1984 front-page article in ''Billboard'' magazine, changes at Capitol led Newton to return to RCA. The 1984 album ''Can't Wait All Night'' continued with a rock-oriented sound. The launch single, "A Little Love", and the title track became Newton's final charting pop singles to date, reaching No. 44 and No. 66, respectively; while "Restless Heart" made No. 57 on the country chart. "A Little Love" became Newton's seventh and final Top-10 hit on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, reaching the No. 7 spot.

From pop to country

Newton had always been moderately popular in country music; she responded to her waning popularity in the pop market by targeting her next album, 1985's ''Old Flame'', solely to country audiences. The strategic move was a success; the album revitalized her career, reached No. 12 on the Billboard album chart and featured six Top-10 country hits, including the No. 1s "

Newton's version was originally available only on a special edition of the ''Old Flame'' album and on the Eddie Rabbitt album ''Rabbitt Traxx''. The "Old Flame" album produced hit singles for more than sixteen months, with the final release being "What Can I Do with My Heart" (written by Otha Young), which reached the Top 10 in early 1987. Newton returned to the Top 10 in 1988 with "Tell Me True" from her 1987 album ''Emotion''. The album's lead single, the progressive-country tune "First Time Caller", stalled at No. 24. Her final album of the decade, ''Ain't Gonna Cry'' (1989), was not promoted by the label and did not chart. But it did spawn her final Top-40 country hit to date, "When Love Comes Around the Bend", which RCA refused to release as a single because Newton's contract had not been renewed.
