Such sad news about Olivia's passing. She was only 73 & bravely fought cancer for nearly 3 decades. Olivia had so many great songs such as "I Honestly Love You", "If Not for You", "Let Me Be There", "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)", "Have You Never Been Mellow", "Xanadu", "Hopelessly Devoted To You" etc. She starred with John Travolta in the movie "Grease" in 1978 & they had some great songs together "You're the One That I Want" & "Summer Nights".
Your reaction was superb! How wonderful to see a young man like you seeing and appreciating this beautiful talent performing from 40+ years ago!! I saw this original airing on The Midnight Special tv show in July 1980, I was 20 years old and I absolutely fell in love!! I was already a fan of "Sandy"'s from "Grease" 2 years earlier, but this song put me over the top, head over heals in love! It was from her upcoming movie "Xanadu" where she plays a greek goddess named Kira who comes down from the heavens to make dreams come true. The music from the movie is phenomenal. Listen to the "Xanadu" song sometime, it's amazing. Also, (there are just SO many suggestions, I don't want to overwhelm) but watch the "Twist of Fate" video. From 1983. Just amazing! I am subscribing to you, you are a treat to watch! You truly get it!!
Olivia, Debbie Harry, and Marsha Brady were my first loves as a preteen back in the day. I had little stickers from mail in album companies on my headboard at 8 years old. I knew what I wanted then, and I married my Blondie at 34 and still count myself lucky to have her love to this day.
Olivia Newton-John was such an underrated talent. And she was such an absolutely beautiful woman.You know she is up to here listening to you right now and smiling
She was NOT underrated. She was huge. Starting in the 70s thru the 80s. She made bank. The word underrated means someone who should get more credit than they got. She got tons of credit and made tons of money. I lived during those times. Millennials and the younger generation misuse the word “underrated” all the time. Just say she was phenomenal, amazing, wonderful, fabulous, stupendous…tons of more accurate descriptions! Apologize for my rant. Stepping off my soapbox now.
@@plumeria66 I know what you're saying. I think that all the time but give these newbies some slack. All they know is what's here and now like Beyoncé, who by the way, couldn't even stand in Olivia's shadow
@@SirWrecksy Agree. But also they learn English from their peers on social media so their vocabulary is limited. Giving them slack only lowers the standard which is already at its lowest point in the history of the US.
You're absolutely right, JB - boys and men across a wide range of ages were absolutely smitten with her. She had the poise, beauty, intelligence, and voice of an angel.
Whenever I listen Magic from Olivia, my Tears are running down my Cheeks, without to cry. I loved Olivia since I saw her in Grease and Xanadu. Now I become 60 this Year. She was a real Angel
JB, 5:30 was the perfect pause. Olivia beckons with her smile thru the camera lens ... and 42 intervening years vanish. Unrivaled talent, physical beauty and kindness - she had it all - but here she flashes, in that one look, The Power. It's more than stardom. She playfully takes prisoners with an over-the-shoulder glance, a performer's gift to her audience. Saw it in 1980, and now, again. Rest in peace.
One of my faves by her....she was such a huge star in my teen years and maintained a huge fan base....and add in Grease...such an iconic movie...forever in our hearts Olivia
My family first got cable television when I was 8 years old, in 1983. One of the first movies I watched on HBO was Xanadu starring Gene Kelly, Michael Beck, and one Olivia Newton-John. I was immediately enamored, her beauty and her voice instantly imprinting onto my soul. She was my first, and only, celebrity crush. That crush only deepened as the years passed, and I found out more about the person behind the voice and face; Olivia Newton-John was simply an amazing human being, in my opinion. Even though I'm a metalhead at heart, I've never gotten over that initial "wow" of her presence. Imagine a long haired, inked up biker looking fellow in Wal-Mart doing his happy dance after randomly spotting her concert with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra on dvd lol My friends used to hate when I'd make mixtape CDs because one minute you might be jammin' to Cannibal Corpse, the next maybe you're hearing the angelic voice of Olivia Newton-John 😁🤘
This is a FIRE performance and went straight to #1! It was on the charts forever. So glad to hear that a new generation can appreciate the massive talent that she was, no auto-tune just natural talent! I had the great pleasure of meeting her at a cocktail party 11 years ago. So lovely, so beautiful and so down to earth! RIP to this angel among us, for way too brief a time!!! She sold 100 MILLION albums!
I was literally 5 when she released this. I've had a mad, raving girl- crush ever since. She was like a glowing goddess. She was immensely talented, on a broad scale. Her loss has hit me harder than I expected. RIP, beautiful Olivia.✨
Olivia was my first crush. She was the first concert I ever saw in 1981. I was mesmerized by her voice, her beauty, and her sweet persona. Every male popstar of the day, who performed with her back then all spoke out after her death with love and adoration for how special and lovely she was including John Travolta, Rick Springfield, Donny Osmond, Barry Gibb, Cliff Richard etc. She was beloved.
My first crush aged eight - watching Xanadu at the cinema. And, we called her 'Olivia Neutron Bomb' cos she blew us away . Such a beautiful voice and soul... she shone, and shines still, so brightly.
As a little girl she was one of my role models. I agree, she was the complete package; personality, kindness, beauty, talent. Fun fact, John Travolta actually fought with the movie production team to get her casted as Sandy in the movie Grease. They wanted to cast him along side Marie Osmond, Linda Ronstadt, but he he said "No, every guy wants a girlfriend like Oliva, you have to cast ONJ". They went on to make another movie together, however this song "Magic" is from another musical movie that she did, Xanadu. RIP Olivia, your legacy lives on
I agree with you if Olivia was the same age today as in the video that all the guys would be going crazy for her. She's absolutely gorgeous, perfect body, wholesome, angel voice, no tattoos and no attitude. She's the complete package. I loved how you immediately got love struck when you first saw her. In my opinion she would be the ideal woman that pretty much all men desire. Girls/ladies, take note of her and copy her and you'll do well. RIP Olivia.
Olivia talks a lot about this song in her 2019 memoir "Don't Stop Believin" - saying that the lyrics were a source of inspiration throughout her life. Another interesting note about Olivia is that she and Karen Carpenter were besties.
Olivia was a beautiful woman inside and out. Apart from her incredible talent she is known for founding the Olivia Newton John Cancer Research and Wellness Centre in Melbourne. The amount of money she raised for research over the years was staggering and she did it up to her last days. She fought breast cancer for 30 years. This song is from her movie Xanadu. It was a flop but I loved it and the soundtrack went global. RIP Livvy fly high with the angels your light will be missed.
Olivia Newton-John was an amazing talent and, from what I hear, a truly classy woman. Another great one from back when there was no "auto-tune" - musical stars had to actually be able to sing. ;) RIP, Olivia. You are already missed.
watch her do "Have You Never Been Mellow" 1976 Midnight Special to capture her early charm. Grew up with her and will miss having her around, she was so sick for years but a courageous fighter.
One of the most beautiful women in the world. I wanted to marry her. I saw her last tour live and she was still gorgeous but I could tell she was fighting again. It was a beautiful evening, her voice struggled at times but she shined in some songs. Magic is my favorite song and she opened the show with it. Her catalog is immense. RIP beautiful Angel.
Well said JB....ONJ WAS the complete package.....highly regarded and loved here in Australia...she will be missed. I was 4 when Grease came out but my sister and parents listened to her all the time. I have vynil from that era from Olivia.....what a beautiful woman in every way!
So much a person without any pretensions, grateful for her talent, fans, and every day she lived after the first cancer diagnosis. Deserved to have so many more years of life.
She was my whole childhood. She was incredibly famous when I was a child. I was 7 years old when this song came out in 1980.It didn't come out in the 70's like the ending says. I had the Xanadu album and loved the movie. My mom let me stay up to watch it. Grease was my first album though. I liked Grease as a kid but I loved Xanadu. I had the 8 track of totally hot when I was 5 or 6 years old. I played her greatest hits vol 2 and Physical all the time too. Through the years I have rebought the albums and cd's. She will be missed. She's the one I always said when she goes, it will be the hardest. She was a beautiful light in this world. RIP.
You can just listen to her all day! Such a beautiful voice. So sweet and intoxicating. ❤️❤️. What I loved about her is that she was a natural beauty. No need for skimpy Clothes, tons of makeup or seductive dance moves.
Olivia was actually a very close friend of one of your favorite artists: Karen Carpenter, both ladies are absolute legends and icons and shall remain in our hearts and memories forever, i hope they're reunited and having fun leading the heavenly choir. RIP, beautiful and magic Olivia.
Don’t feel bad JB she was an idol to me since I was 7 I first heard this song on midnight special to me she was angel and still to this day that never disappeared. I like her song she did with Richard Cliff called suddenly and was a very nice song.
I've been watching alot UA-cam clips from Australian TV. It's like their biggest celebrity. The hours of tribute. Like the president or Dolly Parton. They kept saying she was as nice and helpful and humble. I kept thinking of Dolly how humble and how she treated everyone. Its beautiful and sad.
How can you take your eyes off this performance, brother…ya gotta watch the whole thing to get every nuance of her charm and charisma in this! She was my celebrity crush in 1973-74…..a singer/performer WAY before Grease!
Olivia Newton-John had just passed away this past Monday morning at her ranch in California with friends and family around her but she succumbed to Breast Cancer
Now you know why guys my age see the girls today we're like, "Yeah, she's cute." We had Olivia. And Tanya Tucker. And Stevie Nicks! Oh, my heart!🥰 There will never be another Olivia, and out of all of the eons in which we could have existed, we were here with Olivia Newton-John.✌
I was 10-11 yrs. old when I first heard her in 1972-73. I believe it was her first hit titled Let Me Be There. I sang it for our school’s talent show. I won 3rd place! I haven’t heard anyone react to that song. Why don’t you try to be the first!!
My boyhood crush in the early 80s when i was about 12. Had a poster of her in my room. Early to mid 80s was such a great time to grow up in. Wouldnt trade it for anything.
Back in the day,the young guys were going crazy 😜 Such immense talent.A beautiful woman.She was also a very good caring down to earth person.What a huge loss.
All of us kids then, we were crazy on Olivia and Agnetha from Abba.They were the 2 most beautiful angelic blondes of a whole decade.You gotta do some more Olivia.She was a beautiful soul filled with kindness and shiny like a sun.
You’ve got to listen to more of her music. She was an incredible singer. She was sexy but not vulgar and gaudy. Rest on, Olivia. Love you in the Bahamas.
Hi "JBLethal", About what you say beginning @ 3:09, I am Olivia Newton-John's age, and I can tell you that when she and I were twentysomethings I had a huge long-distance crush on her. So sad that this beautiful and talented woman has died. Gone too soon.
From what I know, Olivia started out as a singer in the '70s. That's when she did most of her popular songs. She got into movie making in the late '70s, but it wasn't for long. I think she just starred in a couple, "Grease," and "Xanadu." In fact, "Magic" is from "Xanadu." The music she made in the early '80s, like "Magic," was really her last hurrah. Her most popular song then was "Physical." Her music was very popular in the early '80s, but after that, it fell off a cliff. It may have been because she got married, or got interested in other things, and stopped recording. I lost track of her after that.
If you do more Olivia songs I suggest a song she did with her lifelong friend John Farnham in a show in Australia called the Main Event. The song I suggest is Please Don't Ask Me. It's magic.
Thanks for the reaction man. Nobody had a bad thing to say about her, she was as nice in real life as she seemed on stage. If you are after other songs of hers to react to, "Xanadu" also has her in the prime of her beauty like this one. One that she did much later in her career was a live performance with John Farnham of "please don't ask me".
Does anyone remember the bandana headband from Olivia's hit song "Physical"? It was a fun, sexy song in stylish workout clothes! To this day and I'm talking decades, I still wear a bandana headband from time to time. Have you ever watched the movie " Grease"? All time classic movie definitely worth watching! Olivia was truly one of a kind and she will be missed!🥀
I remember the bandana but never really loved the song Physical as a kid. It was a funny video though. I liked her other songs more like the one in this video but I heard it years later on radio. I never watched the movie Grease but seen little bits and pieces of it. I not a fan of musical movies. Only know Olivia Newton-John through her music played on radio when I was a little kid and many interviews on tv over the decades. She was a gorgeous person that so down to earth despite how famous she was. That what I like about her the most. Olivia was Magic!
2:47 that’s the same look I had in my face when I first saw this on TV think it was 1980 I was 13 and instantly fell in love. It’s heartbreaking to see someone with such grace suffer for such a long time.
This song is from her movie Xanadu which didn't do good in the box office but it was actually a very enjoyable movie so if you want to see her in it she was great you should watch it
Livvy started off singing back in the 60s. She started seeing international fame in the mid-1970s. She was placed in the country genre in the 70s because of the country feel (arrangements) of the songs that she was doing at the time. By the end of the 70s and early eighties, she successfully crossed over into pop. She was featured in the film "Grease" in 1978 along with John Travolta. Her next foray into acting was the movie musical, "Xanadu", circa 1980. The film bombed at the box office, but the soundtrack burned up the charts. It featured ONJ and ELO. The songs composed by Jeff Lynne and other members of ELO garnered both popular and critical success. The song "Magic" was the first major release from the movie soundtrack. ONJ would also release more music during this period. She would also go onto Star in another film with John Travolta, "Two of A Kind" in 1983. It bombed at the box office as well, but a hit song came out of it.."Twist of Fate." I was a huge fan of ONJ back in the day, but I am so sad that she's gone.
It was with anticipation to see the internet photo turned around. Now imagine that photo on a 12"x12" double vinyl record sleeve for Grease. It was crush at first sight.
RIP DEAR OLIVIA 🙏 hard pill to swallow losing her. My 1st concert when I was 12. And that guy she dated for 9 yrs to fake his own death leaving ONJ wondering where he went. What a jerk of a man. Patrick Kim. I fell in love with when I was 5. She's about to be 74 in September. I can't stop hurting world is a bit darker. Her and Betty White two caring women. ❤ 😥
This is not a single. But from her other movie.Xanadu. In it she plays Kira One of the 9 Greek muses. The reference to We are magic. The Greek gods would send her and her 8 sisters into the world to inspire artistic persons to higher levels and archive their dreams.
A bright shiny light, she was! All of us kids of the 70s adored her.
Hypnotic!! She was in her element here, just pure beauty, presence and charisma. She did a lot in her life. RIP Olivia.
She’s the girl next door and forever will be missed for her beauty and grace both on screen and in music. RIP Oliva
Such sad news about Olivia's passing. She was only 73 & bravely fought cancer for nearly 3 decades. Olivia had so many great songs such as "I Honestly Love You", "If Not for You", "Let Me Be There", "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)", "Have You Never Been Mellow", "Xanadu", "Hopelessly Devoted To You" etc. She starred with John Travolta in the movie "Grease" in 1978 & they had some great songs together "You're the One That I Want" & "Summer Nights".
she's absolutely gorgeous here! ♥
Her voice had that resonance that got into your soul. She did country and pop music.
Your reaction was superb! How wonderful to see a young man like you seeing and appreciating this beautiful talent performing from 40+ years ago!! I saw this original airing on The Midnight Special tv show in July 1980, I was 20 years old and I absolutely fell in love!!

I am subscribing to you, you are a treat to watch! You truly get it!!
Olivia is and will always be Master Class
Pure talent!!! She battled Breast Cancer for about 30 years. RIP 😇
Olivia, Debbie Harry, and Marsha Brady were my first loves as a preteen back in the day. I had little stickers from mail in album companies on my headboard at 8 years old. I knew what I wanted then, and I married my Blondie at 34 and still count myself lucky to have her love to this day.
The glow radiating from you as you watch her - another Olivia fan is born. She effected us all that way. You have my sub sir.
Olivia Newton-John was such an underrated talent. And she was such an absolutely beautiful woman.You know she is up to here listening to you right now and smiling
She was NOT underrated. She was huge. Starting in the 70s thru the 80s. She made bank. The word underrated means someone who should get more credit than they got. She got tons of credit and made tons of money. I lived during those times. Millennials and the younger generation misuse the word “underrated” all the time. Just say she was phenomenal, amazing, wonderful, fabulous, stupendous…tons of more accurate descriptions! Apologize for my rant. Stepping off my soapbox now.
@@plumeria66
I know what you're saying. I think that all the time but give these newbies some slack. All they know is what's here and now like Beyoncé, who by the way, couldn't even stand in Olivia's shadow
@@SirWrecksy Agree. But also they learn English from their peers on social media so their vocabulary is limited. Giving them slack only lowers the standard which is already at its lowest point in the history of the US.
She was the top recording female artist of the 70s and the early 80s. Underrated by who??
You're absolutely right, JB - boys and men across a wide range of ages were absolutely smitten with her. She had the poise, beauty, intelligence, and voice of an angel.
I just lean back in my chair, close my eyes and enjoy.. RIP Dear Olivia
Whenever I listen Magic from Olivia, my Tears are running down my Cheeks, without to cry.
I loved Olivia since I saw her in Grease and Xanadu.
Now I become 60 this Year.
She was a real Angel
She was just beauty inside and out 🥰🥰🥰 I will miss her presence and light on this earth RIP Livvy 😢😢😭💔💔💔
JB, 5:30 was the perfect pause. Olivia beckons with her smile thru the camera lens ... and 42 intervening years vanish. Unrivaled talent, physical beauty and kindness - she had it all - but here she flashes, in that one look, The Power. It's more than stardom. She playfully takes prisoners with an over-the-shoulder glance, a performer's gift to her audience. Saw it in 1980, and now, again. Rest in peace.
She was beautiful inside and out
One of my faves by her....she was such a huge star in my teen years and maintained a huge fan base....and add in Grease...such an iconic movie...forever in our hearts Olivia

Ahh . The early days of Hbo. One that was in heavy rotation .📺
She’s 30 years old in this video
The woman was perfection

Oh my heart...Love and Miss you Olivia 💔♥️🕊️🌹
My first crush aged eight - watching Xanadu at the cinema.
And, we called her 'Olivia Neutron Bomb' cos she blew us away .
Such a beautiful voice and soul... she shone, and shines still, so brightly.
You just captured why we still remember her today. And, she was a wonderful person everyone loved her.
Thank you for listening to the goddess of my youth!!!! Our Olivia is everything ❤️
From the early 70s through the 80s,, virtually every male in America fell in love with this woman. Strikingly beautiful inside and out. RIP 💔

You can just listen to her all day! Such a beautiful voice. So sweet and intoxicating. ❤️❤️. What I loved about her is that she was a natural beauty. No need for skimpy
Clothes, tons of makeup or seductive dance moves.
Such a shining light and always brought us so much joy. Loved your reaction mate thank you ❤
Olivia was actually a very close friend of one of your favorite artists: Karen Carpenter, both ladies are absolute legends and icons and shall remain in our hearts and memories forever, i hope they're reunited and having fun leading the heavenly choir. RIP, beautiful and magic Olivia.
Don’t feel bad JB she was an idol to me since I was 7 I first heard this song on midnight special to me she was angel and still to this day that never disappeared. I like her song she did with Richard Cliff called suddenly and was a very nice song.
This is the best reaction I've ever seen! ❤️'d it!
Her beauty was complete. A wonderful caring person who used her money and influence to protect animals from cruelty and cared for her husband.
She’s pointing at you James!! 👉 She was beautiful!! Inside and out! Wow! RIP 🙏
John Travolta already lost a son and his wife died of cancer not long ago. You can probably imagine how he's feeling this week.
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be just like her. A real earth angel, and now a heavenly angel. You have a good aura too.
I grew up listening to her music and of course Grease! RIH 🕊 Olivia 💗❣️
She was so beautiful right up until she left us , her voice was so amazing, she was very wholesome
I love your reaction! I agree with what you are saying. Guys discovering Olivia are falling in love! ❤️ she was beautiful inside and out.
It's so precious how you LIT UP when you watched her. We ALL did! ❤️
I've been watching alot UA-cam clips from Australian TV. It's like their biggest celebrity. The hours of tribute.
Like the president or Dolly Parton. They kept saying she was as nice and helpful and humble. I kept thinking of Dolly how humble and how she treated everyone. Its beautiful and sad.
Thank you for this you beautiful soul ❤️ Olivia’s voice was everything to me when I was a kid. She was indeed a proper singer for real !
How can you take your eyes off this performance, brother…ya gotta watch the whole thing to get every nuance of her charm and charisma in this!
She was my celebrity crush in 1973-74…..a singer/performer WAY before Grease!
My very first crush... such a gorgeous soul. X
Olivia Newton-John is Australia born and raised then came to America
That song she was singing was from the Motion Picture Soundtrack of Xanadu which came out into the theater in the early 1980's
check out her first number one I Honestly Love You 1974 Record of the Year
Olivia Newton-John had just passed away this past Monday morning at her ranch in California with friends and family around her but she succumbed to Breast Cancer

She was beautiful inside and out!!! We were so sad here in Australia, he was dovestated
I love your reaction JB. She was loved by many and a really great human being. You are special also JB.
I was 10-11 yrs. old when I first heard her in 1972-73. I believe it was her first hit titled Let Me Be There. I sang it for our school’s talent show. I won 3rd place! I haven’t heard anyone react to that song. Why don’t you try to be the first!!
My boyhood crush in the early 80s when i was about 12. Had a poster of her in my room. Early to mid 80s was such a great time to grow up in. Wouldnt trade it for anything.
Absolutely stunning!!
You really need to watch a few interviews with her, she was an amazing woman who left us way too soon after a 30 year fight against breast cancer 😥
She was gorgeous !
“A Little More Love” is bomb too!!
You should watch XANADU. She's in the movie and there's lots of good music in it. Pretty sure this is one of the songs in it.
gene kelly was so great with her
Back in the day,the young guys were going crazy 😜 Such immense talent.A beautiful woman.She was also a very good caring down to earth person.What a huge loss.
All of us kids then, we were crazy on Olivia and Agnetha from Abba.They were the 2 most beautiful angelic blondes of a whole decade.You gotta do some more Olivia.She was a beautiful soul filled with kindness and shiny like a sun.
You’ve got to listen to more of her music. She was an incredible singer. She was sexy but not vulgar and gaudy. Rest on, Olivia. Love you in the Bahamas.
Hi "JBLethal", About what you say beginning @ 3:09, I am Olivia Newton-John's age, and I can tell you that when she and I were twentysomethings I had a huge long-distance crush on her. So sad that this beautiful and talented woman has died. Gone too soon.
From what I know, Olivia started out as a singer in the '70s. That's when she did most of her popular songs. She got into movie making in the late '70s, but it wasn't for long. I think she just starred in a couple, "Grease," and "Xanadu." In fact, "Magic" is from "Xanadu."
The music she made in the early '80s, like "Magic," was really her last hurrah. Her most popular song then was "Physical." Her music was very popular in the early '80s, but after that, it fell off a cliff. It may have been because she got married, or got interested in other things, and stopped recording. I lost track of her after that.
Addictive song. I was around grade 1 when this came out such memories.
If you do more Olivia songs I suggest a song she did with her lifelong friend John Farnham in a show in Australia called the Main Event. The song I suggest is Please Don't Ask Me. It's magic.
Thanks for the reaction man. Nobody had a bad thing to say about her, she was as nice in real life as she seemed on stage. If you are after other songs of hers to react to, "Xanadu" also has her in the prime of her beauty like this one. One that she did much later in her career was a live performance with John Farnham of "please don't ask me".
Does anyone remember the bandana headband from Olivia's hit song "Physical"? It was a fun, sexy song in stylish workout clothes! To this day and I'm talking decades, I still wear a bandana headband from time to time. Have you ever watched the movie " Grease"? All time classic movie definitely worth watching! Olivia was truly one of a kind and she will be missed!🥀
I remember the bandana but never really loved the song Physical as a kid. It was a funny video though. I liked her other songs more like the one in this video but I heard it years later on radio.
I never watched the movie Grease but seen little bits and pieces of it. I not a fan of musical movies. Only know Olivia Newton-John through her music played on radio when I was a little kid and many interviews on tv over the decades. She was a gorgeous person that so down to earth despite how famous she was. That what I like about her the most. Olivia was Magic!
2:47 that’s the same look I had in my face when I first saw this on TV think it was 1980 I was 13 and instantly fell in love. It’s heartbreaking to see someone with such grace suffer for such a long time.
You were so mesmerized watching her. 😍That made me subscribe to you. You've got a good heart. God bless.
This song is from her movie Xanadu which didn't do good in the box office but it was actually a very enjoyable movie so if you want to see her in it she was great you should watch it
Livvy started off singing back in the 60s. She started seeing international fame in the mid-1970s. She was placed in the country genre in the 70s because of the country feel (arrangements) of the songs that she was doing at the time. By the end of the 70s and early eighties, she successfully crossed over into pop. She was featured in the film "Grease" in 1978 along with John Travolta. Her next foray into acting was the movie musical, "Xanadu", circa 1980. The film bombed at the box office, but the soundtrack burned up the charts. It featured ONJ and ELO. The songs composed by Jeff Lynne and other members of ELO garnered both popular and critical success. The song "Magic" was the first major release from the movie soundtrack. ONJ would also release more music during this period. She would also go onto Star in another film with John Travolta, "Two of A Kind" in 1983. It bombed at the box office as well, but a hit song came out of it.."Twist of Fate." I was a huge fan of ONJ back in the day, but I am so sad that she's gone.
Olivia and Karen Carpenter were best friends. Both were extremely talented singers with heavenly voices.
Check out the Midnight Special Performance by her singing Suspended in Time from Xanadu soundtrack. Also, her and Cliff Richard singing Suddenly.
Lovely reaction James, hope you are doing well. 💜
It was with anticipation to see the internet photo turned around. Now imagine that photo on a 12"x12" double vinyl record sleeve for Grease. It was crush at first sight.
RIP DEAR OLIVIA 🙏 hard pill to swallow losing her. My 1st concert when I was 12. And that guy she dated for 9 yrs to fake his own death leaving ONJ wondering where he went. What a jerk of a man. Patrick Kim. I fell in love with when I was 5. She's about to be 74 in September. I can't stop hurting world is a bit darker. Her and Betty White two caring women. ❤ 😥
We love you too
This is not a single. But from her other movie.Xanadu. In it she plays Kira One of the 9 Greek muses. The reference to We are magic. The Greek gods would send her and her 8 sisters into the world to inspire artistic persons to higher levels and archive their dreams.
