Me too. That's what made me search for the song three years ago.

I was listening to this song all this week. My friend is a DJ he played this song during a set and I was jammin'. I love how this song takes me back. Great song!

For me it was this:

thx thats bumpin!!!

Cinnie said:

Oh yeah... I remembered hearing that and knew it was sampled but I had no idea who it was from for a good minute. Again my oldies station never played it, lol.

did Juicy have any other hit singles? The only other song I know is "Beat Street Strut" which I love .It's from the 'Beat Street' movie soundtrack.

Flowers2 said:

Glad you appreciate it. Yeah I love the harmony in this too. The melody is heavenly too.

SoulAlive said:

I know Juicy did some songs when they were on "Soul Train" around '86 but I forget what the names of the songs were, lol. Probably charted but I don't know if they were as big as "Sugar Free". I heard one of the members is now the musical director of "SNL" (the singer).

Juicy - Sugar Free

Ho...oh...
Ho...oh...oh...
Hey...ey...
Oh, sugar

I'm sugar free
In the night
I'm sugar free
In the day

My sweet honey had to go away
For a little while
And when my candy's not here with me
I'm a helpless child, yeah

I'm sugar free (Ho)
In the night (So lonely, so lonely)
I'm sugar free (Hey..ey...)
In the day (So lonely)

I know he loves me, I know he cares
Cause he's all mine
And soon he'll be knockin' at my door
Things will be alright, yeah

I'm sugar free (Oh, oh)
In the night (So lonely, so lonely)
I'm sugar free (Hey..hey...hey...yea...)
In the day (So lonely, oh, sugar)

I'm sugar free [Oh, my sugar's gone], mmm, hmm [He's gone away]
In the night [Miss him every night, every day], every day
I'm sugar free [Oh, my sugar's gone, he's gone away]
In the day [Miss him every night, every day], every day, yeah, ho

Ho, ho
Oh, sugar

I'm sugar free
(Sugar gone away from me, ho)

My sugar is gone
I miss him every day

Ho...ho...ho...oh...
I'm so lonely, baby
Hoo...ooh...ooh...
So lonely, oh, sugar

I'm sugar free (Yeah)
In the night (So lonely, yeah)
I'm sugar free (Ooh...hoo...)
In the day (So lonely, oh, sugar)

I'm sugar free [Oh, my sugar's gone], mmm, hmm [He's gone away]
In the night [Miss him every night, every day], every day
I'm sugar free [Oh, my sugar's gone, he's gone away]
In the day [Miss him every night, every day], every day, yeah, ho

I'm sugar free [Oh, my sugar's gone], oh, oh [He's gone away]
In the night [Miss him every night, every day]


This song kicks ass!

I love Snoop's song "Sensual Seduction".

SoulAlive said:

They had another song called "Private Party" that was similar to the fantastic Sugar Free.

Brother ansd sister Jerry And Katreese Barnes. Katreese Barnes works on SNL and won an Emmy for producing Justin Timberlakes skit, "Dick In A Box"

bobsteezy said:

I bet I would remember that song if I heard it

SoulAlive said:

Sounds different imo

hey,thanks for posting that

SoulAlive said:

I am not sure about how many hit singles, but they (imo) had three pretty cool LP's.
Juicy, It Takes Two and Spread The Love.. Eumir Deodato produced all three LP's.

StarMon said:

Does "Beat Street Strut" appear on one of these albums....or is that strictly a soundtrack-only release?

SoulAlive said:

Just the soundtrack, which was on Atlantic.. their first album is on Arista, and then the album with "Sugar Free" and the one after that were on Epic/CBS (Private I was associated with Epic somehow).

Juicy (LP) Arista 1982
Beat Street Strut (7") Atlantic 1984
Beat Street Strut (12") Atlantic 1984
It Takes Two (LP) Private I Records 1985
Spread The Love (LP) Epic 1987
