      @@TammyLReyes right? There was no such thing as "explicit lyrics" thank goodness! There is simply no reason for musicians (or even authors for that matter IMO) to include profanity. I'm glad, at least, that people are informed of "explicit lyrics," so they can make the choice not to listen to the music. There are plenty of great songs that don't contain that garbage.

It wasn’t just incredible voice and talent… it was how they could invoke the very best within our hearts and minds, without vulgar language, without hate and disrespect, without the need for “shock and awe”, and bring us together with deep resonating fun and unity. This was an era when musicians were truly larger than life because they earned it, pushed the very limits of what true talent can accomplish and create REAL stage magic. How I miss those days…

      @ Buford T. Justice you are so very right! These people were and are true musicians who composed and interpreted some of the most beautiful music ever produced. There are some amazing new musicians nowadays, but they're obscure by the flashy garbage that the industry promotes for the sake of the mighty dollar. I'm a singer also, now in my 60's. I occasionally join in some local bands, but it was never my intention to be a headliner. I sing for me because I like it, just as I cook for me and friends. My professional career is far away from my art and culinary skills. It may sound selfish, but that's the way it is.

The closest to Disco that I'll go is a live version of "Shakedown Street" but the era saw those guys playing the "Stayin Alive" melody. Studio 54 would've been interesting but the sex and drugs more than the Disco. There were some songs of the era that weren't so bad but that's because I wasn't an adult yet and chose Rock, Metal, Punk, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Stones, Zepplin, CSN& sometimes Y, Jimi, Dylan, Ken Kesey, Owsley, Reggae, Funk, Bitches Brew, Joan Jett, Janis, the Who, etc. all were more important than the Disco but I remember the time-frame and Bee Gees, Blondie, Donna Summer and even the low point in the career of KISS. JOHNNY CASH and other stuff thanks to my dad and my mom still listened to The Beatles, MoTown, and other. Andy Gibb and Olivia are the best on this but I'll never state that this was the best of anything. I do remember being in the Philippines when I saw Grease and Saturday Night Fever the same night.

    I saw this when it originally aired in 1978, and 44 years later, it still makes me smile. I have viewed this recording countless times since I discovered it on TH-cam a few months ago, but watching it on the day that she left us is so bittersweet. Rest In Peace, dear Olivia…you are a part of the soundtrack of my life. 😓

      Absolutely agree with you. But ABBA never had “ street credit in America because the so called musical journalist just could t get their head around the enormous commercial success and artistic appeal of these four humble Swedes.
      Even last year when they were nominated for their first Grammy after their release of their fantastic come back album Voyage after a 40 year hiatus -which itself is a historical feat- and bears the same name as their ground breaking ABBATar show - the New York Times critic called their music “ thin, thiin, thiin..

      The few exceptions are beautiful artists like Olivia Newton John who could sing a nightmare away, along with beautiful super stars like ABBA
      I pity today's shit generation because they have no talent, and nothing to offer this world.

    I miss them all so much. I am so sad since I can not see Olivia no more. I wish that all members of ABBA are singing together once more.

    Olivia looks like she's having more fun than she ever expected. She is lovely and incandescent.
