I miss these days. The 70's talk shows without hate in them. I'm thankful I remember these better days. I feel bad for kids growing up now with so much trash, hate etc
The new world order is about to take hold. They are now arresting their political opposition and giving us a fake climate change for the reset. Digital government currency and carbon off set will enslave you all!
Brilliant comment Vicki, I am 65 and wouldn’t want to have lived through any other time. It seems a pity that tv entertainment is anything like as good as during the 60s & 70s!😏
You know why? Because the US was more white and conservative. Now, the US has allowed black people and liberalism to take over. So now the US is trash.
Olivia was so genuinely gifted. Her voice was so natural and truely reflective of her heart and soul. She was authentic and a truely lovely human being.
Thank you to whomever is continuing to upload old interviews Johnny Carson did in order to keep his memory alive for people born after he retired from hosting his show.
I’ve seen tributes to celebrities,musicians and prominent people ,but the outdoor love and utter respect for this lovey woman is utterly overwhelming,I’ve heard nothing but praise for her ,her spirit,kindness and beautiful soul ,RIP you lovely lovey person .
The only one I can recall in recent years that comes close has been Mary Tyler Moore. Other than that, I can't think of anyone else who has received such wonderful tributes.
She truly had the voice of an angel and such a beautiful person. Condolences to the family and friends. The world is sadly a little quieter without her and miss her singing.
Geeze. I can't imagine how she could do that. Go out there on stage, and practically make love to the camera for millions of viewers, and do it flawlessly. Such a performance.
I think her voice matched her physical beauty she was a beautiful person inside and out I've never heard anybody say anything bad about her she was an animal activist she fought for the rights of the animals and I always liked that she was like the girl next door the girl you'd like to introduce to your parents clean wholesome all around nice person I've been listening to her since the early '70s
Watching Olivia singing I was always amazed at the possibility that someone that beautiful could also sing so beautifully. But there she was... She was like an angel. That tear towards the end of the song at 9:20 running down her cheek, with her sweet voice even trembling a little, shows how authentic and natural she was in everything she ever did. Now, Aug 11, 2022, three days after they announced that she had passed away, it is still difficult to assimilate the idea that she is not here anymore. It hurts badly... Angels are not supposed to die...😢 It comforts me a little though that as time goes by, when none of us be around, these records will still let future generations see that she was real, that this beautiful angel, Olivia Newton-John, was indeed among us, sharing her precious art, talent and tender soul with us.🌹💔
OMGosh, she had me in tears at the end of the last song. It makes me wonder if she was acting or if she was truly losing someone...I felt it throughout the whole song. Rest in Peace, Olivia🌹
I saw an interview with her where she explained she sang the song to her mother when she was dying😢 I cannot remember if she also said she had written for her mother or not. May her soul Rest In Peace.
Yeah, I think she was shouting out to someone somewhere cause at 09:25 a tear rolls down her left cheek (our right), I guess is real as I would imagine be pretty hard to cry spontaneously live on The Tonight Show......
Perhaps one of the finest live version of "I Honestly Love You" I've seen for this song from Olivia, she really got emotionally into the performance of this song. 😌 I remember hearing Johnny Carson tell Olivia that her face has no bad camera angles on the TV monitor.
There's a lot to be said for natural beauty and Olivia Newton-John was the definition of it. She also had one of the most beautiful voices the world has ever known. She sang naturally and with emotion without having to resort to vocal gymnastics which many singers do today. There's a lot to be said for that era which is really missing in the world today. It's great seeing her first appearance on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" singing two of her biggest hits at the time. Prior to "Grease" and "Physical", "I Honestly Love You" was her signature song. We honestly love you, Olivia May you Rest in Peace.
Absolutely love this woman. She was my icon as a young girl. I owned every album EVERY SINGLE ONE. She was so brave and selfless. Major respect. Such an incredible loss.
5:52 It’s the very first time I’m seeing and hearing her perform the song “I Honestly Love You” and ohhhh my! What an absolutely breathtaking performance! She is totally immersed in the song, feels like she thinks about somebody in her own life that she loves. Or she is just an absolutely incredible performer and can bring out the emotions when she needs them. Probably both. Anyway, amazing woman and an amazing performance! That song and that tear in the end got me. Rest in peace, Olivia.
She was my favorite back then; had all her albums and almost wore them out. Saw her twice in concert, OKC and Vegas with Charlie Rich. I Honestly Love You was always her closing song and had everyone shedding a tear.
She was very talented. I also really love Patsy Cline, Connie Francis, Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday. So many great female vocalists.
Thanks so much for posting this..she was such a big part of my childhood. Xanadu, Grease, all her songs on the radio. Iconic. Beautiful human being. RIP 💔🙏
Geeze we had fabulous singers back then, and Olivia Newton John was one of the best! Her music was beautiful and the lyrics were so easy to understand and relate to.
I was watching this thinking she put more into her songs than I ever realized, and then she's looking into the camera like she's actually singing "I Honestly Love You" to somebody "out there" and then the tear rolls down! Wow! What an incredible woman!
She was definitely thinking about a special someone when she was singing. The tear rolling down her face took me by surprise. She is the definition of Lovely.
Brought tears to my eyes. Name a live TV performer nowadays that can do this to viewers. Class, just sheer class. By ALL accounts, what you saw, is EXACTLY what you got in real life.
Losing both Olivia NJ and Judith Durham in the same week has somehow more than doubled the sadness of losing them separately. Two unique, pure and beautiful voices, and two beautiful angels gone back to whence they came, having blessed us with their presence for a while. And that's not language I use or have ever written before ... but seems to express who they were and how they touched us ....
Such a genuine and sweet person, who will be greatly missed. "I honestly Love You" is such a beautiful song. If you look closely Olivia sheds a tear at the end. Thank you for posting this to YT.
It was lovely to see this footage of the beautiful, talented and very special Olivia Newton John. Hearing her sing 'I Honestly Love You' brought tears to my eyes and sent shivers down me. That is when you know you have heard something truly great that reaches your soul. She had the ability to do that as an artist and wonderful vocalist. She was also beautiful inside and out as a person too and did so much good. Sing now with the Angels and fly high beautiful soul. Your legacy will live on Miss Olivia Newton John ❤
@@JerusalemPulseRadio Well…… Robin committed suicide, if I recall. Meanwhile Olivia died naturally of cancer sad to say. I cried more for Olivia, Then I did for Robin Williams. Sorry if I offended you.😢
@@gregorymangin9196 Understood. I was going to add Michael Landon to the list of just people in the limelight who changed our lives each in their own way... but I hear you... nothing like the loss of Olivia.
Her parents, a credit to her parents. Then going over to England from Australia, so young and being looked after by the English too. She could easily have been prey to horrible people, like a lot of stars today seemed to be.
Back in '75-76 I had discovered Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks. But as beautiful as they were, my total crush was on Olivia Newton-John. Pure beauty, and such a wonderful feminine voice. RIP Olivia we miss you already.
At the 9:29 mark at the very end of “Honestly,” a single tear rolls down her far cheek. If Olivia was willing to tell me, I would want to know for what or for whom that tear was shed. That song might have had some real-world emotional baggage for her that she didn’t share with the public. In any event, that tear is a stunning piece of sincerity coming out in a work of art. I was a teen-aged boy when this came out in the early/mid 1970s. Your first crush is the hardest. Now it’s October 2022, I’m almost 65, and I’m sobbing like a baby on seeing this. Teach the angels how to sing Olivia, I honestly love you.
I remember seeing this on The Tonight Show that night and twenty days later I was volunteer enlisted in the Navy. I followed her music and career and looked for updates on her when she was ill. She was a treasure to the whole world with her music. God bless and keep you Olivia, you are in his care now and shining with the Angels.
Wow! What a performance on the second song. When she looks into the camera at 6:50 and she sings “I love you” you believe it. She had talent right from the start.
I remember this beautiful young lady in the mid 70s, she had already conquered Aussie land. This was I believe 3 years before she was cast in Grease. So was such a natural performer. RIP ONJ
Olivia knew how to look in that camera and connect with her audience emotionally, from the moment she got on that stage. I'm sure Johnny knew, right then, she would be a BIG STAR. What an angel she was. The world was blessed when she was born. xo
Johnny Carson only put great talent on his show, as you can see. Never knew ONJ was English and 🦘 Australian 🌏RIP ONJ and Johnny Carson. 🕊️✝️🇺🇲🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇳.Thanks for posting this video‼️👍
Listening to these songs brings me back to my preteen childhood. She sang the words that I wanted to say to my crushes, but was too afraid to say. My heart is filled with joy and sadness listening and watching this video. I honestly loved her❤️. RIP Olivia 😔
An absolute Angel! Looks, voice, soul, determination, strength and love. RIP OLIVIA. 😭🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ This version of 'I Honestly Love You ' was gorgeous. I loved slow roller skating to her songs with my eventual wife. Not very many realized that she was English. She was so loved Three nations she called home. England Australia and finally America. 🥰🕊️
Such a stunning and talented young lady, and she remained beautiful inside and out her whole life. She deserves honor and to be cherished forever as a true icon, we honestly love you Olivia, RIP 💖🌹
The night I fell in love with her. And I never stopped. Olivia was an amazing woman. She was the most kind, caring and loving person to her fans. I’ve been lucky enough to have met her several times I will treasure those moments always. She was truly an earthly angel. She is free now to fly and heal us all with her spirit of love and light.
Olivia will forever be my favorite female vocalist. Hopelessly Devoted To You, Suddenly, and Magic are just a few of her songs that I love to just close my eyes and listen to her lovely voice. She had such a warm sincere smile. Wonderful to know how many lives she has touched with her voice. I was saddened terribly when I heard she passed, but glad to know her battle is over. 😥❤
@@christophersansone2755 how about the 1920s lol ever look at NY ? 1960s and 70s was a good time. Low cost of living, low affordable health care, low college cost, we did not have to much to worry except Vietnam.
She's a rare and honest talent....much like Karen Carpenter. Nice to have them both on record! Amazing that Olivia is so relaxed and emotionally open on her first JC appearance.....truly impressive!
What a delightful human being; she radiated warmth and positive energy wherever she was; that megawatt smile alone would make anyone around her immediately smitten. And that voice; there's a reason a legend like Dionne Warwick likened it to crystal. I grew up listening to that voice and loved (and bought) every record she put out; there will never be another one like her. RIP sweet Olivia, you'll be missed.
Olivia was so beautiful and had the voice of an angel. Sadly, we lost 2 wonderful Australian goddesses in early August of 2022. Olivia and Judith Durham of The Seekers. RIP to both of you! Life goes bye in the blink of an eye!
I was born in mid-May of '72, and my younger sibling was born just over a week earlier in '74. When I saw the news of ONJ's passing on my phone during a work break this week, it was though yet another significant part of my formative years had been suddenly ripped away. I can't recall a time when I was a very young boy (still in the single digits) when Olivia *WASN'T* on the radio at home -especially during the summer days or after school when my late mother had left the intercom system at home play for hours, as she was going about her day. May she RIP.
I worked for Amazon Herb the company her husband owned. He was a great guy for her. She’s a lovely person. Made my childhood musical memories wonderful rip. Olivia! ❤️🌈🦋
So sad, but she did live a long live and made wonderful music along with 2 iconic movies that still hold up today. I like all of us will miss her dearly 😥 Last edit thanks for the upload.
A single tear at the end!!! Her most memorable song! Saw her from afar performing at PNE fair, Vancouver BC Canada probably a decade ago wowing crowds in her sixties. Just as gorgeous and sounded as good during her prime. ONJ will be sorely missed!
Don't forget "If Not For You". It was out before these two, I believe. And it definitely had a country twang to it. Aussies love country. They're more Southern than American.
Back in high school, I took an informal poll among the guys. We all had our different choices for sex symbol choices, but Olivia Newton-John was an almost unanimous choice as the girl we would like to have as a wife.
@@leon15776 She didn't have the classic features of say a Raquel Welch or Farrah Fawcett, but it was her understated looks and non outrageous personality that made her every guy's wannabe wife.
Olivia is the girl next door, the type you were sincere friends with who were beatuiful and down to earth. Being an Australian, I can say that a lot of Aussie girls in the 80s & 90s must have been influnced by Olivia, there were a lot of girls who where down to earth and just as lovely as Olivia. I was one year old when this came out, but I agree, Olivia is the type of down to earth girl that everyone is attracted to men as a romantic interest and wemon as a great friend.
@@dttruman she was as attractive as Farah Fawcett or Raquel Welch if not more. Also olivia never dressed skimpily or put herself out there sexually. If she sexed herself up she would've been seen more like a Farah Fawcett.
@@hopeislandful I agree if they all weren't wearing make up with the hairdoos.Her character as Sandy in Grease best expresses that. That's why almost every guy wanted to marry her.
She bridged old hollywood with new hollywood and became her own, she and a handful of other bands were disco before disco was disco, she is the definition of iconic.
What a beautiful lady, I have seen this before but this is the first time I caught her tear running down her cheek during her second song. You wonder who she was thinking about when she sang this song.
what a Beautiful Lady with a Beautiful voice i actually have that original LP from 1974 and several others . as for Johnny Carson there with Never be another great nighttime host that can replace him - not leno , leno or these late night clowns now days . as for June 05,1974 i had just graduated high school a few days before what i'd give to click my heels together and go back to that great time in life.
Wow, I hadn't caught that tear at the end till I read it in the comments. I wonder what she WAS thinking about. Wow, that was a spectacular performance. Made me tear up too. What a beautiful girl.
When I was a young fellow, I'd listen to AM radio and keep up with the stars in the newspaper. So when it was announced on radio and in the newspaper's TV listings that Olivia Newton-John would be performing on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, I prepared for that upcoming night all week and stayed up late past my bedtime to watch it. She was already known to many like me as a country singer. But this was her big breakout in the US on the pop stage. Two people I've always wanted to meet in this world but never did. Hank Aaron and Olivia Newton-John. I'm sorry to hear that she has passed. I'm glad RU-vid made this live performance available. Because once it aired on live TV back then, we never saw it again. No cable TV, and no Internet back then. Just rabbit ears TVs with 3 stations. I'm glad they saved the EXACT TV show that I stayed up late to watch as a kid.
I never before noticed the tear running down her cheek at the very end of the song and i have seen this clip many times . I don't know how i missed it . I have always adored this girl , her talent and her beauty . However since our beautiful Olivia passed away Im seeing things on RU-vid clips of Livvy singing that had gone unnoticed by me in the past . This performance here just made me tear up . Rest in Peace , our darling sweet girl .
Fellow Australian here liv l never met you but we all grew up with you since the early 70's and feel we knew you. All of us have had our hearts broken with the dreadful news of you r passing your not in any pain now liv and may you rest in Gods peace.
