    The first concert I ever saw live was in the 70's Olivia had a hit song, "Have you ever been mellow." my older sister drove me to Ashville NC to see her in concert. My sister mentioned how beautiful Olivia was, don't you think so brother? My response was, "she's no John Travolta." To which my sister said, "that answers a lot of questions!" That was the day I could be myself with at least one person. Thanks Olivia and yes you were beautiful!

    I could watch Olivia and Ru all day. Olivia was a big influence on me, growing up. Grease and Xanadu were always on repeat. I loved the camp, the tongue-in-cheek humour and the fun that those movies brought me. Pure joy, really. And Olivia was always so graceful and beautiful and sweet. I love her so much.

    OLIVIA IS SUCH A LADY AND ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INSIDE OUT,, SO CLASSIC !! THANK YOU RUPAUL

  • @ThatGothicChick
    @ThatGothicChick 10 років тому +24

    This lovely lady (has she even aged a minute?!) helped me more than I'll ever be able to express...I got Cancer when I was 15, and while going through chemotherapy, I learned of her quote about thinking of the chemicals as a healing "golden liquid"...obviously it was what was saving my life, but taking those chemicals into your body is never easy or pleasant...but while thinking of that quote, that dull, coppery chemical suddenly became a lot prettier to me, and her words and her inspiring courage helped me find my own...And Olivia is *absolutely* right about trusting your instincts. I recall that a week before I discovered my tumor, I had a dream that the doctor was telling me that I had Cancer, and I woke up in hysterics...obviously, you don't need to go to the doctor about a nightmare, but the rest of that week, there was a startling difference in my energy level, and as if the dream weren't enough, it literally felt as though my body was telling me that something was wrong. Sure enough, a walnut-sized lump appeared on my neck the following weekend and I told my Mother that I needed to go to the Doctor the next morning. After trying antibiotics with no improvement, (I actually think the lump slightly grew) I had a biopsy, and was then diagnosed with Large Cell Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma...fortunately, I had caught it so early that it hadn't spread, and I only had to have 2 rounds of Chemo after removing the tumor. I don't say this with the intent of scaring people, but please, if you see a suspicious lump on your body, DON'T WAIT. I know it's frightening, but going in as quickly as I did saved my life. I know she may not see this, but thank you, Olivia...you are truly a remarkable woman in every sense, and I will always be in debt to you...your words were very much what held my hand during those difficult nights in the hospital. I love you.

  • @jamescrawford4388
    @jamescrawford4388 3 роки тому +7

    At 52, Olivia was my first concert in the 70's, "Have you ever been mellow." I also remember thinking how beautiful she was and that if I couldn't feel for her then this gay thing is for sure gonna stick and not a phase.

  • @CleberLirio
    @CleberLirio 10 років тому +26

    I love the way Ru-Paul interviews, how multi-tasking can one be, even it's a drive around the block; and hold up such pleasant interesting, informative, and intelligent conversation, is uncanny. OLNJ is just an amazing woman and so full of nice positive vibe. That was one of my favorite interviews so far...Congrat's RuPaul.

  • @MrNewmoononmonday
    @MrNewmoononmonday 10 років тому +11

    It's so great to see someone interview ONJ that is a true fan of hers, it makes for a much better interview, and I was impressed that he knew who Pat Carroll and John Farrar are...ONJ hasn't always gotten the respect she deserves, in my opinion, and her 'Physical' album is still one of best produced albums out there and her vocals on it are flawless...just saying. THANK YOU, RUPAUL!!!!

    At 1:57, Rupaul starts to talk about The Bee Gees. He mentions that he attended Barry's Birthday party in Miami in 1986 or '87. It was actually the 29th Birthday party of Barry's brother, Andy Gibb- he was a successful pop star in the late 70's and 80's. Unfortunately, Andy died one year later- 5 days after his 30th birthday. He was very talented!!! RIP Andy!!

    In her own way, she's an honorary Soul Sister. She's sung with Reverend James Cleveland and The California Community Choir. She admitted growing up listening to Dionne Warwick and Ray Charles (RIP) who was a major influence on so many folks from Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Bill Medley (The Righteous Brothers) and even lent a helping hand to Smokey Robinson whose debut at The Apollo Theater was a disaster in 1959. She helped Tina Turner make one of the most successful comebacks, in Pop Music, she sang with Take Six a Gospel R & B Group. She's worked with so many Folks none of which were as successful as her in The US from Cliff Richard, her former Singing Partner Pat Farrar and Pat's Husband John who wrote a large majority of her Hit Records. Now Cheryl Ann Tweedy (Formerly of Girls Aloud) will be planning to guest star on the UK Version.
