Long Live Love
(Music & Lyrics: Valerie Avon / Harold Spiro)
Long, long live love!
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love!
All the kids like 10 tin soldiers in a row
Follow hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner
For the Sally Annie Band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learned to love their story
Good things are comin' to ya
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Long, long live love!
As long as we live
Living for giving
Long, long live love!
On a wet day, dry day, 'great to be alive' day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing
With the Sally Annie Band
Just a band of happy people
Teachin', preachin': "love is equal"
When you feel the spirit move ya
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Long, long live love!
Love is to care
Caring and sharing, long
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love!
Oh - long, long live love!
As long as we live
Living for giving
Long, long live love!

I had no idea she competed in Eurovision until now. She lost to ABBA before her international breakthrough as Sandy in Grease. RIP Olivia. Long live her.
@@chingizkhan6423 READ THE ROOM
@@chingizkhan6423 Ur right but that is not the subject we are talking about
However I don't like Grease, I wish the best for her family.
She literally predicted Australia's inclusion, nearly 4 decades before the country officially entered.
Ok it's nice that Eurovision remembered her but Olivia said that she really hated this song and never sung it again in her career. ;) R.i.P To our always beloved Sandy
ABBA and Olivia Newton-John. What a Eurovision year!
... and Gigliola Cinquetti ! 🙌😍
Ireen Sheer?
Mouth & MacNeal?
@@chingizkhan6423 please stop, or else we will report you for spamming
@@M4RCM0NT31R0 yes this person is talking about something else than the subject of the video.
But he's right tho
The UK's opportunity to host in 2023 must surely now include a tribute to this iconic artist and performance!

Again you forget that ESC 2023 will be devoted to Ukraine, not UK.

@@chingizkhan6423 Seriously, some of you guys need to stop with this already. Also, this is far from the right place to say that. Funnily enough, hating is exactly the opposite of what Olivia's (RIP) song talks about.
I am hoping they, the BBC and EBU commission a "Those We Have Lost in the Past Year" segment like they do in the Oscars etc. Many songwriters, performers, conductors, hosts and commentators are sadly passing away. Their works and dedication to this wonderful event should be honoured in life and in passing. RIP Olivia, total legend!
That's a lovely idea, they should definitely do that!
Part of the interval act. Ed Sheeran can sing Visiting Hours.
They`ve done that with some of the winners who passed but if they did it for everyone the contest would have to go on for even longer than it already does and I think it`s probably reached the upper limits of what people are capable of sitting through already. Maybe as an extra segment on one of the nights between the two Semi`s, perhaps.
@@aharon59 she's not "everyone". It doesn't have to be a full tribute act. Even just a mention would be nice. Not every icon must win. Not every winner becomes an icon.
@@aharon59 What, a lil 3-5 min segment that they could throw up in an ad break instead of a green room awkward interview? And I am only referring to those lost in that previous year.
Brighton ‘74 My grandad worked at the hotel where ABBA and Olivia stayed.
@@samperry2376 wow that's awesome
Rest in peace queen! Forever ingraved in eurovision & hollywood history. But above all a beautiful & caring woman ♥️
@@chingizkhan6423 shut up and go away, this isn’t about Chanel nor Spain. Have some respect
@@chingizkhan6423 stop spamming
1974 was a fantastic year! Almost all the songs deserved to win!
@@chingizkhan6423 what the hell is wrong with you
@@chingizkhan6423 we are very happy for you and Chanel :) But stop retelling your dreams, live in the present
yes! it's the year my country (and loads other) debuted
@@Greenballoffire yes Greece
Κρασί, θάλασσα και τ' αγόρι μου is one of my favorites Greek entries ever
@@o-b-1 same, I'm Greek.
Her voice was like a sunshine! RIP Olivia 😢
And her lovely face was like sunshine too ☀
What a fantastic performance she will always be remembered as a beautiful woman, who had the sunniest smile and a fantastic singer RIP lovely Olivia.
Rest in peace Olivia. You will always remain part of the Eurovision family
@@chingizkhan6423 Olivia died, please be respectful
@@clarinetmoonesc what
@@Harel_Israel the comment got removed now but someone was replying to everyone that chanel was robbed
@@clarinetmoonesc I knew it was something to do with Chanel. Same thing is happening rn with Chanel that happened in 2010 with maNga.
@@Greenballoffire I wouldn't say it's that severe
It was from a time they made bright and cheerful music.
No matter, she became fourth in 1974. I love her since then. She was a beautiful singer with a really warm hearted personality.
Olivia I miss you. There will never be another like, you. RIP
I'm so sad Olivia passed. She's always been such a beautiful, genuine, loving, talented, humble and generous soul. She left us far too soon - and yet she's a miracle for surviving her long fight with cancer.
Olivia is an inspiration, not just for her talent and success, but for how she held herself with dignity and grace through tremendous loss. She showed us how to be courageous, loving and joyous in the midst of the hardest trials.
You will be missed, Olivia. 💕
nobody asked
Absolutely, forever!
Rest in Peace Olivia! Thank you for your music!
@@chingizkhan6423 I'm reporting you for spamming
She was one of the very few artists in Eurovision to actually make it big after the show. And I did Grease in 7th grade. This loss hurts for me as both a theatre geek and Eurovision geek. I send my heart to all her loved ones
She ended at 4th place... 4 years later she won over everybody in the world
not for me
@@DM-op9tj Your comment is worthless..Just go
It might be unfitting to ask, but I wonder if we have any hopes of getting the rest of the old entries on the Eurovision TH-cam channel. There’s probably issues with licencing and all that, but regardless, I think many of us are hoping for more old entries.
With that said, let’s not forget the original reason why this video was posted. Goodbye, Olivia! We’re going to miss you.
We all do but I think it's up to the broadcasters; every contest pre-2004 is owned by the respective host broadcasters, all subsequent contests are EBU's. Some broadcasters, AFAIK, do make replays of their contests available on their own site, one example being NRK/Norway (1987, 1996, 2010).
Anyhow, may Olivia's music live on. Rest in peace, queen.
@@chingizkhan6423 Stop it, you had been spamming all the comments on this video with exactly the same message
If you key in the Eurovision song contest in the search bar, the different years and decades for the contest should be displayed.
Some of the older ones were the best - from the 60s, 70s, and 80s - the best music decades ever. Particularly the 70s (so many evolving artistes, bands, and brilliant songwriters then).
Brilliant orchestra and fabulous backing singers
RIP OLIVIA ♥️ He will be greatly missed!!
We will always remember her!!
Even if she is not with us, she will always be the greatest and always will be ❤️
@@chingizkhan6423 for Christ’s sake, SHUT UP! The world has lost a legend, a child had lost her mother, this is NOT ABOUT YOU OR CHANEL. Just accept she didn’t win in Turin and move on with your life. Please stop commenting on this video with the same spam comments. Again, THIS IS IN MEMORY OF OLIVIA, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR CHANEL.
@M4RCM0NT31R0 DRUMM3R get a life and show some respect. Again, this is not about Chanel.
@@mrjdsworld80 who cares?
@@DM-ql8mc who cares about your comment no one
Little fun fact: She was the granddaughter of German scientist Max Born who was very important in the development of quantum physics and her father was a Welsh German teacher.
Even more impressive her father was part of British intelligence that worked on the enigma machine at Bletchley park in WW2
Long live Olivia 🙏
In recent months all I did was listen to her “Take Me Home, Country Roads” 🧡
A person who has a beautiful voice will still have a beautiful voice even after 50 years have passed
An Angel that is gone far too soon.
Let`s get Long Live Love to the top of the Charts for her.
Rest well, Olivia.
@@chingizkhan6423 ok just give it up, we get your point, plus you are disrespectful as hell too.
RIP. Lovely Olivia excelled in everything she did, nice to see The Ladybirds backing singers too
So why weren't they wearing red and black spotted dresses?
Abba, Olivia, Gigliola… 1974 it’s a very Good year… RIP🙏

You will never be forgotten!
@@80PercentScottish It seems like a macro account.
Greatest hits radio praising 50 years of ABBA winning Eurovision this weekend and completely forgetting the legend that represented the UK.
RIP to the best ❤
What a loss 😔
You will always be remembered Olivia!
Your music will stay timeless
Rest in Peace Olivia ❤️
R.i.p Dame Olivia and thank you @BBC for letting @eurovision upload the video
I think she was well deservedly awarded the Australian equivalent of a Damehood, an honorary Aussie degree, and maybe an MBE?
Sharing is caring. Long live love! R.I.P Olivia..
I was surprised to read that she couldn’t stand this song! You wouldn’t guess it from her performance - a true professional.
Her voice could make anything sound good.
That can happen quite often when you are asked to sing a song not of your choice, Sandie din't like Puppet and Lulu din't like BBAB either.
It still BLOWS my tiny mind that we were lucky enough to have this goddess as our representative: And in "ABBA's Year" as well!!!! ❤❤
Inolvidable Olivia, descansa en paz preciosa 😭🌹
A beautiful talented lady. Rest in Peace.
1974 year ! Crazy ! Rest in Peace, Olivia ! You always in our hearts💖 😭
@@chingizkhan6423 please stop spamming
Always in our heart Rest In Peace Olivia ❤️🕊
@@chingizkhan6423 she was neither secondary nor primary 🤫
@@chingizkhan6423 who gives a damn
“Long Live Love” (1974), authored by Valerie Murtagh, was Olivia Newton-John’s (ONJ) entry for the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, representing Britain. It was also her least-favorite piece. She had to sing it after performing six different airs on TV, and the British audience had to vote for what they considered to be the best for the actual contest. ONJ didn’t win that night.
Talking about her distaste for “Long Live Love”, ONJ explained : “That was really hard for me because I wanted another song to win, cause you know, when you do Eurovision, you sing six or eight songs. Once a week you sing on TV, and it was on [Cliff Richard’s] show, and people would write in and vote for the one they wanted […]. And I knew it would be it. I wanted this other song called ‘Angel Eyes’ to win, that I loved, it was such a beautiful song […]. So then I had to go sing it for the country, not liking it, which wasn’t easy.”
Sweden won the contest for the first time with the entry “Waterloo” by ABBA. The number became a huge international hit and was the starting point of the band’s legendary career❕💛🇸🇪💙
Yes Rip Olivia.. one of my favourite singers from the UK
She's Australian but she was born in the UK
@@paulmarkwilkinson8778 both
@@paulmarkwilkinson8778 she was more British than Australian
@@paulmarkwilkinson8778
… That makes her British then.
Well, as an Spaniard, I didnt know that she was so famous. The reality is that she was more in USA than in Europe or other countries. Grease film helped her but its true her great Career did in USA.
So? She was born in the UK and had British citizenship. She had every right to perform in the contest
@@thomsboys77 that is not what I wanted to say. I said that she was more famous in USA than in UK. The beatles were very famous and Known in Europe.
Legends never die. Thank you for the magic, Olivia. 🫂♥️
RIP Olivia 😔 A pop culture icon!
You will be missed but never forgotted
🇪🇸❤️🇬🇧
Australia and the world misses you, your talents and your energy, Olivia Newton-John 💖
✨✨"You have to believe we are magic. Nothing can stand in our way. ✨✨
✨✨You have to believe we are magic. Don't let your aim ever stray. ✨✨
✨✨And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive. ✨✨
✨✨Bring all your dreams alive, for you." ✨✨
Thanks for your tireless efforts in championing wellness and cancer research & treatments. Thank you for the memories for generations past, present and still to come.
May your soul rest in peace after a life well-lived 🌺
Haha even though she hated this song she sang that hell out of it. RIP ONJ we will miss you. 💙
As much as I love and adore Olivia, I have to agree that there were parts of that performance where she looked like she wasn't genuinely into it and just wanted to get it over and done with. She still sounded amazing and made a great representative for the UK that year.
Don't like this song at all.😭
One of the most beautiful actresses of my childhood. She was a dew drop, an angel. Now she must be singing along with other angels in heaven. RIP
olivia will be remembered. ❤
@@chingizkhan6423 and you are the winner of spamming
@@emmahenderson5980 more like the "real loser of this fan base"! (Not you, I'm talking about the spamming commenter)
You will be always remembered, Olivia!! What a beautiful voice🥰
The real Winner 🥺❤️❤️ rest in peace Olivia ❤️❤️
real wiener
She had already been living in Australia for 20 years in 1974, since the age of 6, when she competed for her birth nation Great Britain at the age of 26. It was a good move to kick start her career, when it wasn't yet possible to participate for Australia. She may have helped in the long run of Australia being accepted into Eurovision. 💕🎶👍
pretty sure she lived in Aus for about 12 years, she was back in the UK by the mid 60s.
My beautiful Olivia Newton-John, I can't understand how you a sweet and gorgeus human been has gone, well maybe the paradise need you R.I.P. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU, Since Mexico.
I hope someone will sing long live love in the Eurovison Song Contest 2023 As one of the Interval Act I would be happy with that
I love Olivia so beautiful and artistic sensibility
Merci Olivia pour m'avoir fait rêver quand j'avais 16 ans avec le film Grease. ❤️
@@chingizkhan6423 Look someone has died and you’re Here talking about something that’s very irrelevant? I agree with but STOP IT! All of us are annoyed by you so please stop and give some respect to Olivia’s family and friends instead of talking about this! Get over this!
Rest in Peace Queen Olivia Newton-Jones, Thanks for Everything.

Such a catchy song! This legend will truly be missed.
I love you Olivia! ♥️
I was 7 years old when Olivia represented the UK with this song. I still have the 7 inch vinyl stashed away up in the attic. What a beautiful soul and a beautiful Lady. Sadly missed by many. ❤
Lovely Olivia, what a woman!!!
La célèbre
Gosto muito desta música!!!!
@@chingizkhan6423 You have sent enough messages now.
This was the first time I ever saw Livvy and I recall being stunned by her beauty. A shame no one ever helped her with choreography though. She always moved slightly awkwardly whilst singing.
What an excellent performance of this song. Olivia did brilliant that evening, and was always a lovely, brave woman.
Long live ONJ!
