BACKGROUND Twelve years ago during Operation Desert Storm, the military newspaper"Stars & Stripes"printed the lyrics to Juice Newton's "Keepers of the Peace," to show support for our American troops. As citizens once again step forward to show their patroitism and gratitudeor the service men and women of the U.S. military, "Keepers Of The Peace" is once again a very fitting and timely song.
Juice and her band were invited to play for the troops across Germany during the Gulf War and felt a special song needed to be written for the occassion and "Keepers of the Peace" was born. Never one to jump on a bandwagon for a popular, or unpopular cause, the song has never been marketed, recorded, or shopped to radio, but now people familiar with its origins are asking for it again.
"Keepers Of The Peace" illustrates the necessity for tolerance, the "right to express what we believe" as well as giving a big thank you to those who put their lives on the line for us and our country.
Please take a listen to Juice Newton's "Keepers Of The Peace". If you feel the song fits the efforts your station is making to support the troops, we invite you to contact us for the CD if needed.
Juice, a Grammy Award winner best known for "Angel of the Morning," "The Sweetest thing," and "Queen of Hearts," is the daughter of a Korean War Navy Vet. Juice grew up in Virginia Beach,VA, home to many military bases. She has always appreciated and respected the work the military has done for our country.
Juice would be happy to talk about her background, the song and her support for our troops, if desired. Arrangements can be made through her management company at (818) 708-9337 or othayoung@earthlink.net.
Thank you for your time and consideration. It is our hope that this song will again touch people's hearts and we can all be "Keepers of the Peace."
