Career
Their debut single "Don't Cha Wanna" was released in 1982 by Arista Records. In the same year they also released their first eponymous album, which made it into Billboard R&B chart the next year.[2]
In 1984, their song "Beat Street Strut", released by the same label, appeared in the 1984 musical-drama movie Beat Street and its gold-certified soundtrack.[3] The song peaked at #46 on Billboard Dance chart in July 1984.[4]
Their second album It Takes Two was released in 1985. The album featured an answer record to the Mtume song "Juicy Fruit" called "Sugar Free".[5] It peaked at #13 on the Billboard R&B chart and #45 on the UK Singles Chart.[6] Another moderately successful single from the album include "Nobody but You", reaching number 59 on the R&B chart.[7]
Their last album Spread the Love released in 1987 was commercially unsuccessful, resulting in Juicy's disbanding.
