I was born in 1975. My mom was a huge ONJ fan, so I loved her from the moment I was born. By the time I went to first grade, I was madly in love with her and even had a Xanadu lunch box! She was my first and greatest celebrity crush of all time! I still can't believe she's gone. I hope you're at peace, ONJ.
My aunt was an ONJ fan and I remember listening to her music while she baby sat me in the early 70's. My first memories are of ONJ's earlier country albums... Let Me Be There; If You Love Me (Let Me Know); I Honestly Love You; Have You Never Been Mellow. A lot of her earlier songs that weren't hits are still my favorites because they have nostalgic place in my heart. I can say that even as a child under 5 years old, Olivia's voice had a calming effect on me that continues to this day. As I grew older, I learned more about her and heard more and more of her music. Grease put her in a different place in my world and she became an instant crush as I'm sure she did for many boys and girls at the time. Olivia's gifts to this world both in music and in spirit are indelible and her death palpable. I feel that when the world loses a soul as precious as she was, it is felt in our collective consciousness. Try songs like If Not For You and Follow Me. From the album Physical, try Falling and Carried Away.
Olivia Newton-John belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If Madonna, Michael Jackson, Abba, and Whitney Houston got on, Olivia definitely deserves to be in.
Olivia has a duet with John Farnham, Please Dont Ask Me, from the Main Event concert. Worth checking out. Olivia and John were great buddies, had been since their 20's. They also did a duet for the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. She was such a great person, so sad when she passed.
You definitely need to see John Farnham with Olivia Newton John “please don’t ask me” from the Main Event live concert. The connection between Them is Electrifying!!
As a pre-teen/teen male during the height of her career, she was a huge crush of mine as well. I really like her pre-Grease songs - she had a couple of #1 songs before Grease, her biggest was "I Honestly Love You." If you prefer more up-tempo songs, than "If You Love Me, Let Me Know" is a good early one. Anything off her first Greatest Hits is good to great in my opinion. Olivia had a crazy run of 7 straight #1 songs on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart pre-Grease. She had amazing pitch, so seeing her live performances adds perspective on her talent.
Totally Hot album is a fab album.My favest ones are also ''PLease don't keep me waiting" (A side's opener),''Dancin round and round",'Borrowe time","Totally Hot" funky.
Please listen to Olivia's live performances from her 1982 concert (Physical Tour). She was absolutely amazing and she sang many of her big hits. The quality is great too as that concert was taped for HBO. The entire concert is available as well as the individual performances.
Olivia Newton John had a great late 70s & early 80s! Dunno how ya missed this? 🤔 Think my dad had a little crush on her too. 🤭 To be fair, she was stunning! 😳 My (& my mom's) fave ONJ song is Xanadu
Oh plz do take a look to the original video from 1978 on this song.She's breathtakingly gorgeous.Whara Fox! ps.It's the one with her longer blonde hair the black leather trouser also featuring her doing the photo seesions for her album's cover sleeve.

always loved her music and was finally able to go see her perform I think about 3 years before she passed :( Have you heard "Don't throw it all away" ? Another great one, but my favorite is "Suspend me in time"
That was right after thbe explosion of GREASE from her Totally Hot album.But Grease was so huge that kinda overshadowed this great solo album.Still a top 3 hit in USA./no2 Canada.
I love Olivia Newton-John who? didn't fall for her and "Totally Hot" is my favorite Olivia album, my favorite Olivia song is "I Honetly Love You" from 1974 but another faovite song from the "Totally Hot" album is "Deeper Than The Night" it wasn't a big hit like the smash hit "A Little More Love" who's is also a favorite of mine but it has a great Disco beat to it.
The Video, original when she had Long Hair, is pretty hot and goes well with the song. She did an 80s video with the same song but updated her look.. It's not bad but far less interesting than the original.
@@ReactionsToTheClassics'Grease' marked an Iconic era.Here in Europe most of us who had lived that period real time during in our teens, Grease/SNF /Bee Gees,Olivia and ABBA are the first things that strike in our minds regarding the popular soundscape of the '70s.
