I don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but you have such a calming soothing voice! I love listening to your videos at night always makes me sleepy and relaxed 💜
She was a country singer before she became even more famous and I use to have all of her records too. She was and always will be an inspiration to us all AMEN 😇🙏💖✌️😇
Country music heavily guarded access to the "lifestyle "even from their own kind . I guess Glenn Campbell Kenny loggins n em really didn't like fence sitters yet there Gospel singers who didn't grow up on farms who topped the charts regularly too
R.I.P. Olivia John-Newton❤️. She was so sweet & an icon. One of her songs, “Let’s get physical,” was considered too risqué for T.V., but compared to the songs today?! 😳😅. Her memory will live on❤️.
Will forever sing "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Let's Get Physical". Grease still one of my favorite 70s movies and her passing is so sad, but she will be truly missed. May she rest in peace.
We all gonna miss her She was such a beautiful and rare soul. She was so fearless and brave, she fought her disease till the end and never complained about cancer May she rest in peace
Honestly Karine, thank you for making a video about Olivia Newton cause I really don't know much about her when I heard about her passing. Felt a little sad when I kind of got to know a bit more about her after her passing than when she was still with us.
Shania was Canadian, I liked her too. I couldn't care less who sings what. Olivia was one of my favorite singers. I'm not the gate keeper nor is any human. Sing what you want. I don't acknowledge cultural appropriation. It all belongs to God.
Hi i'm from the UK. I was 17 when Grease came out in the cinema. I loved it sooo much i went back and watched it three times. My fav song is also hopelessly devoted from the film. I bought the grease album just to listen to Olivia singing this beautiful ballad over and over again. I am so sad she has passed. Rest with the angels lovely lady.! x🙏❤🇬🇧
She was so beautiful. Not only physically but internally. My dad loved her music. Now he could hear/see her sing up close in heaven. May her beautiful soul rest peacefully.
She S not in Heaven! She’s in GOD’s Memory. John 5:28. Waiting for a Resurrection from GOD’s King JESUS CHRIST!….. Soon. Your Dad Also! THEY WILL BE IN PARADISE ON EARTH! Psalm 37:29
Country music would be PAINT DRYING BORING If there was No “outside influences“ to the ART! that enhances the Sounds! I only started listening to Country once Shania came On the scene. And now I m Always waiting for Taylor S to Drop New Sounds! My fave Olivia song. [Have you ever been Mellow[. It also led me to Discovery Manilow. In 2010! Thanks Ms Newton!
I’m still so shocked that she died. I was so shocked when I found out, that I called my mom during my appointment to tell her. RIP Grease will always be one of my all time fave movies
Hi, thank you so much for your video. Very informative and she deserved to be recognized exactly the way you did. I’m Robyn from Texas and I watch your videos all the time and I am one year younger than Olivia. I can’t believe it however she did go through so many years of cancer
Growing up in Nashville, I have always loved Country Music. I never looked at Olivia as not being country. In fact, when I was a kid, every time I'd hear her on the radio I'd run to turn up her songs. She was country to me, with a beautiful twist. I was sad to hear, after I was older, how a few of the hardcore country artist like George Jones and Tammy Wynette, were offended that Olivia was moving in on their territory. But at the same time, I found out how many, like Dolly Parton, Stella Parton, Loretta Lynn and others, stood up for Olivia. Stella Parton even wrote the song "Ode to Olivia" supporting Olivia's place in Country Music. So, while there were a few that are hard-headed, there were a lot of others that fell in love with Olivia like the world has since. I've been a huge fan of Olivia's now for 49 years. Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Olivia. Back in 2001, I wrote a letter to a local radio station, who seemed to play mostly male artist on their station. I listened one day for over an hour and not one woman singer had been played. So I wrote a letter in protest against it. And the problem I had was not just with them not playing enough women singers, it was that nearly every male singer they'd play all sounded just, or was trying to sound like, George Strait. I had a friend, who was a radio DJ at 95.5 FM radio in Nashville. I talked to him how Dolly Parton, and how other women singers would lose their radio play after they turned 40 years old. And when Olivia came to Nashville to record her Back With A Heart CD, I talked to him about Olivia not getting played. He told me that if it were up to him, they'd both get played. But there's a group of people that sit around and make that decision. And from what I've learned since, it has more to do with how much the record labels give in kickbacks to the radio stations, for whichever artist the record labels want to promote more of, at the time. So it's about money and kickbacks. So, no matter how many people call in and request a song by their favorite singer, if the radio isn't getting the kickback for that artist, then you won't hear the song. That's sad, but that's the way it is. It's very corrupt. I'm glad the artist today can live on without the radio and record labels by being an independent artist. My friend at 95.5 FM radio was, ironically, let go from 95.5 FM when he turned 40 years old. He later went to work at WSM radio playing the country/ Americana oldies. And I absolutely agree with you, and it royally ticks me off, how black people have been cut out of the Country Music business, with the exception of a few. I loved Charley Pride growing up. I met his wife at Opryland Hotel once, while I worked there. She was such a sweet lady. I had a black friend, who I met in Nashville when I was 15 years old. I met her at the Nashville Songwriters Association, Inc. We were there in the midst of a large group of older songwriters. I was given strange looks from the older folks there, as if they were trying to figure out why this kid is here trying to be a songwriter. And my black friend, she was being looked at the same because she looked different from them. She called herself "The Chocolate Cowgirl" but later went by her on name, Frankie Staton. I know she tried so hard to break into the music business, for many years, but she couldn't get a break. She was so nice to me, where the others in that songwriter room didn't talk much to me. She invited me to come with her to one of her recording sessions, where she was working on some of the songs she'd wrote. I went and I was in awe of the whole process. She was so kind to me and I am blessed to have met her. Recently, I was watching Americas Got Talent and saw "Chapel Hart" on there. I was an instant fan. I think they will knock down a lot of doors, and have a lot of doors opened to them in the Country Music business. They Country-rocked it on AGT. Love 'em and hope to hear more of 'em. I think there's enough room in every genre of music, for everyone. I don't listen to country music to hear every singer sound like George Strait. I listen because I love country music and I love those who sing from the heart, no matter the color of their skin, the clothes they wear, or where they are from. I gave Olivia a rose in Atlanta which is a moment I cherish. Saw her in concert several times. Bought most of her music and saw most of her movies. I will always admire her and remember her for her beautiful smile, her beautiful personality and her beautiful voice. Once again, thank you for this lovely tribute to Olivia. My heart breaks for her daughter, Chloe. Life can be cruel. It knocks us down and we really have no choice but to get right back up and march on. My most favorite Olivia song is "If You Love Me, Let Me Know."
That's a beautiful story. I just got into her music. I got Her Totally Hot and Physical albums. Was it a big shock when she transitioned to more disco type music?
@@rvegas81 Oh, no, I followed her right into pop music with no problem. To me, she was both country and pop, but I love her older country/folk/easy listening songs even more cause I think that type of music fits more of who she was as a person, down-to-Earth real. Have a good day. :-)
Thanks Karine for this video!! I’ve always loved Olivia Newton-John!! Her “ country” songs were a staple in my house when I was young (70’s!!). Her music will live on!! Grease will always be one of my favorite movies!! I’ve taken a lot of flak for my tastes in music- for being African American & liking music from such artists as Enya& Yanni who are considered New Age artists. I’m supposed to like “only R&B & Rap because I’m African American?!! If it’s beautiful music and touches one’s soul that’s all that matters!! Blessings to you and your family!!😍😍😍😍
The radio has no eyes but ppl will force you to like what THEY think is right for you .Which is why Mammies are unpopular .I actually like goth , rock and ballads but family and others who look like you ; want you to buy their crap
I agree with your feelings about music. I think it’s the same with all forms of creative expression. We must be free and not limited by the culture we were born or raised in. It’s about expressing what’s in our soul and what is coming through us from a deeper place than our external temporary existence.
Good to hear many artists and fans stood up for Olivia's right to sing country music. I do not agree with the divisive, bogusly "woke" and souless concept of cultural appropriation which tries to limit creativity and shame people into rigid cultural "territories" that would mean only Italians could sing arias written in Italian, etc, if adhered to, while ignoring the fact that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! If you haven't done a video on Stockard Channing, who played Rizzo in the film, Grease, (at 34 years old, which slightly worked to make then 28 year old Olivia a bit more believable as a high school student) and sings the iconic ballad in response to slut-shaming, "There Are Worse Things I Could Do," in the film, her life and acting career, in which she was nominated for 70 awards from the Acadamy Awards to Grammys and Golden Globes and won over 20 times while still acting at 78 years old, is inspiring. If you've never seen her in the 90's film that was Will Smith's first lead role, Six Degrees of Separation, in which she recreates the role she originated on Broadway and was also cast in in the London stage production before playing the role in the adapted-for-film version, four years later (a rare acting coup for a Broadway actor because film rolls typically go to bigger names in Hollywood, regardless of how well another actor's played the part on stage) it is one of her best roles and all-around excellent cast and based on a true story 🎭
Hi Karine 😀👋🏼! Thank you for this very informative Video Upload. I am a 1965 baby and I remember watching Charlie Pride ( a black country music singer/star ) on TV when I was little and TV was in black & white 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks again !! Peace and Multiple Blessings to You 💯😍😉👍⚜⚜⚜💗💗💗💗
RIP ❤❤Oliva Newton John.She was an angel. Grease is one of my favorite movies. ( Rizzo was my favorite ) ONJ was a superstar. Loved her music too. Hope her daughter is ok🙏🙏🙏. Totally agree with you 100%. Dolly Parton and Shana Twain. Growing up e everybody loved different types of music. It should be that way. Music is from the Angels.. Great video 🎊🎊
As a child in the 80s, I took the video literally and didn't realise how overt it was. It's one if those songs that kids would have been singing, which is so shocking 😅
Grease was the first movie I watched as a child of 8 yo. I absolutely loved it, and ended up watching it over 30 times, by the time I was 12. Me and my siblings would put on Grease plays for our parents, and of course I had to be Sandy Lol, and my brother Dino was Danny. Grease, and Olivia were a huge part of my childhood. I just adored her! As an adult, I always kept up with what ONJ was doing, she was a kind, loving, positive, intelligent, beautiful, and extremely talented women. She thrived through cancer for 30 years, and always was giving to others, who were going through their own cancer journey. She truly was Sandy, a good girl, with a huge heart, and so very uplifting an encouraging to others. I did know about the ayahuasca incident, although I don’t agree with it for myself, I do see why she felt like it would help her at that time in her life. Her husband John literally gave her a little cap full to drink, they were not married at the time, and were only friends. According to Olivia, It was that time spent together in South America, and their ayahuasca experience, is when they fell head over heels in love with each other. She and John stated they were soulmates. I also have seen interviews with Olivia where she said how much prayer had helped her, and that is where she found peace. It made me so thankful, and hopeful when I heard her say that, bc she was not a stranger to the things of God. She showed so much strength throughout her cancer journey, but she was really suffering the last year or two, and I hate that she is not with us anymore, but I am so glad that her pain an suffering have ended. Her husband John had a NDE as a young man, and believed in the Father, Son, an Holy Spirit bc of that NDE. I never got to hear the full story of what he saw and experienced, but what I did hear was he believed in heaven, and a loving God, etc. I’ve been wanting to know the full story ever since. Many prayers for John and Chloe and her whole family🙏 She is loved, and she will be missed. RIH sweet Olivia ❤️ ONJ4EVER❤️
i was introduced to grease at 3 years old by my grandma who was obsessed with grease, we would always sing the songs & i would always sing sandy’s part. grease has remained my favorite movie & reminds me of happier times with my grandma who i no longer have contact with. her death has been so sad, thank you for covering her. rip to our sandra dee 💕
hello , R.I.P. Olivia John-Newton❤. ........crazy , how so many of our celebs , are leaving here ........great share , thank you , for sharing......😇🙏💖✌😇....
Yes girl I love me some Shania Twain. She's the reason why I started listening to country music and I'm from the hood too. My white music history teacher taught me that the banjo and folk music was invented in Africa. So yes girl, I feel u. 🙂
I loved her she was such a sweet soul....YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO HER SONG MAGIC FROM THE MOVIE XANADU ITS 1 OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS FROM CHILDHOOD CLASSIC BUT IF YOU KNO U KNO PHYSICAL WAS EVERYTHING TOOIF YOU WERE A POP 80' baby MAY SHE REST IN PARADISE TALK ABOUT A GORGEOUS W😍MAN SHE WILL FOREVER BE SANDRA DEAN SANDY OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN REST IN PARADISE OLIVIA 🤍🕊🙏🏽
Her "Totally Hot" album was her breakaway from country. The commercial for the album shows her posing for the photographer for her album in cool black leather 😎 (you can find it on TH-cam)
Getting into voodoo, supernatural can be dangerous Deuteronomy 18:10-13. Thank you for talking about Olivia NJ , when I watched Grease I was young and really thought that movie was from in the 50s , I love her singing voice so much.
I also totally love and agree with your take of messing with hidden worlds. I'm just thinking if her tribal experiment marriage opened up trouble for her cancer. I wish more people were aware of the spiritual realm which is just as real as our natural realm.
I loved Olivia when i was little, years before grease. She was a popular singer well before that film and she still continued making some great music after.
I’m not really into country music. I like some songs, but I do love a lot of her soft rock music. Hopelessly Devoted . I also love her song Suddenly with Cliff Richard. Great song and of course Physical. I remember being in middle school when that song came out, And Grease is iconic my daughters loved that movie as well. She’s had a nice body of work. A sweet voice. She seemed like a very kind soul.
Olivia Newton John was the first "adult" record I ever bought. That was when vinyl was the norm. As a 9 year-old kid, I adored her and had no idea what "Physical" was actually about. I thought it was about exercise. Lol
Funny enough, country music evolved from English/Irish etc. folk music with the influence of enslaved Africans' instruments. Thanks to the digital age, country music is no longer a slave to the Nashville scene unless you want to be on the FM radio. Sturgill Simpson self-produced and became so huge he won a Grammy. Being "country" is a state of mind or lifestyle that anyone can enjoy.
So beautiful thank you for doing this. That dude got a new passport different name and withdrew all his bank accounts before his “disappearance “ owed back child support $30000. Who could leave this beautiful lady but he wasn’t so awesome so even with sadness from losing him he didn’t deserve her
I don’t mess with drugs period idc if it feels good or not 😭 Thank God she didn’t do anything to herself after that. Some people legit can’t handle that type of stuff.
This is a bit of a sore spot. I recently heard in an interview from brilliant bassist Gail Dorsey (who worked with Bowie, Lenny Kravitz and Tears for Fears) said she was really nice. Gail enjoyed touring with her. As an 80s baby growing up, my mother would play Physical. Since Olivia has left us a little too soon, I find solace in knowing her music has made an impact on current stars. Just listen to Kiss Me More by Doja Cat and SZA. Rest in peace, Olivia Newton-John. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
She was on the charts same time as Anne Murray “Snow Bird” and “Can I have this dance” from the Movie “Urban Cowboy “ which happened to have John Travota in. Both had the same problem of radio station not knowing what genre to put them in.
I'm old and I never realized Olivia did an official version of Country Roads, I think of John Denver. Was that something that only got popular in the UK? I think we only know the John Denver version being a hit in the US.
I watched the Ken Burns documentary "Country Music" and it's shows how blacks were very influential to country music. It also shows that the origins of country music was directly related to black music.
To each his own, we really don't have any control over what we like or dislike when it comes to that artistic realm,especially music,it's a real mystery. The heart wants what it wants!
ONJ was one of the most naturally beautiful women God ever created imo, not that I've seen every single one lol. She was just gorgeous with an amazing voice!
RIP to Olivia Newton-John I love her in Grease and I love her 'Have to Believe We Are Magic'. However, I would love for you to do a video on both Freddie Washington AND Hazel Scott PLEASE!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! Thank you sooooo much. Stay beautiful ⭐️
Karine I love watching your channel. I think you forgot one of ONE'S movies, Xanadu (1980). ONJ plays a muse in the movie which I can easily see. Again I love your videos.
It doesn't surprise me that the country industry did that to her because they did it with John Denver as well when he won awards in the country music industry saying he was more of a folk singer which is just crazy my favorite song from her is you're the one that I want she is at peace her and her best friend Karen Carpenter and Heaven together singing some beautiful music together God bless stay safe bye
as far as country music goes, didn’t they say the same thing, that the artist was too different to sing country, about shania twain and taylor swift? it’s called evolution. things change and progress and come right back around. my favorite modern song by her is ‘heart attack’; my favorite old school songs are ‘if you love me’ and ‘please mr. please’. i thought for sure they found that one cameraman husband alive at least a decade later and charged him with insurance fraud.
@@KarineAlourde they’re never ready for change and i don’t know why. we can’t have just conway twitty and loretta lynn types only singing, forever. that’s how you get revolution. i’d say the best bridge artist was tanya tucker. she sang in the traditional style around 50%, but was thoroughly a modern woman. they definitely tried to but couldn’t contain her. about every 10-15 yrs or so you get a swath of young artists that try to buck the system because the music doesn’t speak to them. i won’t EVEN get into the collabs with pop and soul artists. total blasphemy! 🤯 but, that can be said about every genre, right?
i had that movie in VHS, but wen i got into my storage, i boxed it up with other old movies and mailed them to my brother including a VCR. i hope he didn't sell it 😔
Your commentary triggered just so many different thoughts, so I’ll try to list them here: first of all thank you for doing this appreciative tribute to Olivia Newton-John. You mentioned that several people she knew, /including loved /ones, disappeared or suicided as if there’s some pattern here. I couldn’t make out a pattern honestly and sometimes things are just weird like that and people have a lot of loss in their life and it doesn’t seem to make sense. I lost about 20 friends when I was 30 years old because of the HIV epidemic-that is weird but there weren’t any connections except that they all died of the same disease; certainly I wasn’t responsible for that, and she’s not responsible for the people that she lost. secondly, Ayawaska: yes it is a very powerful drug used in spiritual rituals of indigenous peoples who are non-Christian usually. People have profound experiences doing it and they can be positive or they can be negative. The people conducting the rituals are trained just like a priest would be trained and quite knowledgeable about facilitating it. More importantly, more recently the mental health field has come to realize that there are many drugs that have been made illegal for years by our government that actually have a very positive powerful effects for people that have a chronic, severe depression that is not ameliorated by multiple tries of prescription anti-depressants currently on the market, or have had long-standing serious trauma that in a few sessions largely clears up when therapy is combined with these medications. they are just as much medication as ones developed by pharmaceutical companies for which they make large profits. In fact there was a study that came out that the current batch of prescription anti-depressants that are prescribed very liberally to a large percentage of our population, really don’t do a very good job for most people- they don’t help at all actually. When you can get major progress on a long-standing disabling anxiety or depression disorder with a few sessions when these other medicines are added, that is wonderful! We’re talking about things like ketamine, DMT, LSD, ecstasy all these things that people associate with clubbing and a sinful life may actually have a very powerful medicinal benefit if used under good medical supervision and combined with psychotherapy. I’m very excited about this personally. One wonders why these drugs were made illegal perhaps the pharmaceutical company had something to do with that because they wouldn’t make any money off of things that could be grown in your own backyard for one thing. Just like marijuana. Next, I was a senior in high school when Grease came out and of course it was the movie of the year especially for us who were seniors in high school and it will always be a very cherished movie for me and she was wonderful in it as was John Travolta. about 25 years later I was dragged onto a stage with a colleague for a Christmas party and we sang “summer nights” to great applause;it was a lot of fun. One also must acknowledge what a close friend Olivia was to Karen Carpenter during her fatal illness of anorexia went at a time when they knew very little about it, and she was very supportive of her. Olivia has not always been acknowledged for her beautiful voice; it is often described as whispery and airy but in fact she had excellent pitch and range, could go high, and has good chops when it comes to singing. Lastly, this whole idea that “physical“ was an obscene song is ridiculous when you think of songs at that time like the Rolling Stones, “I can’t get no satisfaction,“ or certainly, “some girls” the lyrics talking about “what’s in those silky sleeves” of Asian women, and especially, a very offensive lyric about “black girls just want to get fffd all night and I just don’t have that much jam.“ Truly obscene. Apparently their song “paint it Black,” and “sympathy for the Devil,” are just that, daemonic.And Mick Jagger a great admirer of Black music, and totally copped the sound, just as Elvis had, but was never criticized much for that. we’re complaining about “physical” when the song just said something about going horizontal and “let me hear your body talk.” Thats ridiculous. I always thought that Sheena Easton’s “Sugar walls,” was much more overtly sexual is not obscene come and tell him the listener to go inside her Sugar walls I mean really! Take a listen it’s pretty funny
I love the song Magic. Wasn't that in Xanadu too? It seems like most people commenting on Olivia mostly know her from Grease. Olivia was famous way before Grease with all those hit songs.
@@jamilgotcher365 magic was also very good.I live all the music from Xanadu. The sing Xanadu is also great.I guess most people don't know Xanadu the movie.But it's my mom's favorite so I grew up on it.
@@laetitiastrydom4470 Yes, I love Xanadu. I bet your Mom and I like the older ones before Xanadu and Grease. I love "A Little More Love" "I Honestly Love You" "If You Love Me (Let me know)" "Please Mr. Please" and "Have You Never Been Mellow" Great songs, I wish the world was as it was then. Cool little fact, I appear in an episode of Lifestyles Of the Rich and Famous on TV with Olivia, I got to meet her. I modeled for her Koala Blue clothing line in 1989 in a fashion show and they filmed her backstage for the TV show Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous. I tweeted it on my Twitter account.
If you look at other photos from this Grease launch event at 13.07 it's pretty clear Olivia has breast implants albeit small ones. The demarcation of the implants are quite obvious in this photo especially. It seems she got them some time between filming Grease and whenever this was taken. Quite early days for that, and they would have been rudimentary silicone. Interesting that nobody's ever mentioned this and speculated whether migrating silicone leaks could have been the beginning of her long term health troubles.
All people shud be allowed to sing what ever genre they want. if people try to stop other people from singing then we will miss out on possible new good music bcus you never know what influence or spin will turn up. It's good to hear new stuff by various artists.
@@protectedmeadow i didn't know. but it seems that cancer is a common epidemic that happens to many people, especially as we age. i heard a long time ago, that there may be cures for cancer in the Amazon but it gets lost to us on account of deforestation, so sad, we may never find a cure to sum cancers.
You are of course, hopelessly wrong. The only 'gatekeepers' to anything commercial is the customers. In the case of Miss Newton-John, she was still living in England when country and pop radio stations started playing the record--sent to them by the record company--Let Me Be There. While it did well on the pop charts, it was a number one smash on the country charts because the audiences bought the album and single. In 1974 Olivia was still living in England when she was told about her awards nominations. She made the trip to the USA to collect the awards. Also in 1974, she released the album If You Love Me (Let Me Know). Again the record company--MCA--sent out the single to both Country and Pop stations. Both audiences embraced the single and album sending the single to number 5 on the Pop charts and number 1 on the Country charts. The audiences were what made her popular as both a Country and Pop singer. She did not care--nor should she have--how the other singers reacted to her awards nominations and wins, because as she said when she accepted them in 1975, 'She sings for the fans, and was happy the fans liked her music.'
I have a favorite movie that I Loved Olivia in and it's called A Mom For Christmas and my favorite songs from the movie are "What If" and "So Stragne" 🎄 💕 ❤️
Olivia was a true beauty! She had such an angelic beauty and didn’t need heavy makeup though she was beautiful wearing it- for those of kids who remember the early 80s olivia’s music was on the radio and she was so sexy without being trashy and vulgar- girls envied her beauty and men wanted her - she appealed to both sexes which is rare for most famous people - loved her sweetness beauty and talent - she is the UK’s gift to the world, the pride of australia, and we loved her in the US as sandy in grease ❤️❤️❤️
Karine this would be interesting: Nichelle Nichols was an American actress, singer, and dancer best known for her portrayal of Nyota Uhura in Star Trek and its film sequels.

Sleep in Peace Sandy 😍 Grease is literally one of my fave musicals! She was beautiful!
🤍
RIP may your voice live forever.
I don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but you have such a calming soothing voice! I love listening to your videos at night always makes me sleepy and relaxed 💜
Yessss her voice is so soothing I can play her just to go to sleep 💕💕🥰
Agreed! I love Karine's voice 🤩
Absolutely!
Perfect asmr voice lol
SAAMMEEE!!!❤️
She was a country singer before she became even more famous and I use to have all of her records too. She was and always will be an inspiration to us all AMEN 😇🙏💖✌️😇
Country music heavily guarded access to the "lifestyle "even from their own kind . I guess Glenn Campbell Kenny loggins n em really didn't like fence sitters yet there Gospel singers who didn't grow up on farms who topped the charts regularly too
R.I.P. Olivia John-Newton❤️.
She was so sweet & an icon.
One of her songs, “Let’s get physical,” was considered too risqué for T.V., but compared to the songs today?! 😳😅.
Her memory will live on❤️.
Yes! It was scandalous when it was released back in the 80s!
Will forever sing "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "Let's Get Physical". Grease still one of my favorite 70s movies and her passing is so sad, but she will be truly missed. May she rest in peace.
I wonder why they never made her play Princess Diana in a biopic. She reminds me of her. May she rip 🤍🕊💐
She looks like her too.
@@enolamsamoht yup!
We all gonna miss her
She was such a beautiful and rare soul. She was so fearless and brave, she fought her disease till the end and never complained about cancer
May she rest in peace
Honestly Karine, thank you for making a video about Olivia Newton cause I really don't know much about her when I heard about her passing. Felt a little sad when I kind of got to know a bit more about her after her passing than when she was still with us.
I’m happy to introduce her to this generation. Such an icon. You’re welcome love ❤️
Her name is Olivia Newton-John. Her father is Bryn Newton-John.
Shania was Canadian, I liked her too. I couldn't care less who sings what. Olivia was one of my favorite singers. I'm not the gate keeper nor is any human. Sing what you want. I don't acknowledge cultural appropriation. It all belongs to God.
I like Shania too. It's only a few yrs ago I knew she was Canadian. I don't know if they gave Shania a hard time, but there is Canadian country music.
* Shanis is Canadian, not was - she is not dead
@@Ivanchy91 that wouldn't sound right
I’m so happy you posted this asap, I really wanted to know more about her. Rest In Heaven Olivia 🙏🏼✨
Hi i'm from the UK. I was 17 when Grease came out in the cinema. I loved it sooo much i went back and watched it three times. My fav song is also hopelessly devoted from the film. I bought the grease album just to listen to Olivia singing this beautiful ballad over and over again. I am so sad she has passed. Rest with the angels lovely lady.! x🙏❤🇬🇧
I wasn't born yet but I was about 5 when I first saw it fell in love with it
She was so beautiful. Not only physically but internally. My dad loved her music. Now he could hear/see her sing up close in heaven. May her beautiful soul rest peacefully.
She S not in Heaven! She’s in GOD’s Memory. John 5:28. Waiting for a Resurrection from GOD’s King JESUS CHRIST!….. Soon. Your Dad Also! THEY WILL BE IN PARADISE ON EARTH! Psalm 37:29
Most Aussies really are Brits! Have You showcased Nicole Kidman? Plz!
Country music would be PAINT DRYING BORING If there was No “outside influences“ to the ART! that enhances the Sounds! I only started listening to Country once Shania came On the scene. And now I m Always waiting for Taylor S to Drop New Sounds! My fave Olivia song. [Have you ever been Mellow[. It also led me to Discovery Manilow. In 2010! Thanks Ms Newton!
Thank you so much for covering/remembering her💗
I’m still so shocked that she died.
I was so shocked when I found out, that I called my mom during my appointment to tell her.
RIP
Grease will always be one of my all time fave movies
Hi, thank you so much for your video. Very informative and she deserved to be recognized exactly the way you did. I’m Robyn from Texas and I watch your videos all the time and I am one year younger than Olivia. I can’t believe it however she did go through so many years of cancer
Yes she passed away so young. So much more life in her. I hope she is resting in peace now away from the many years of pain.
Growing up in Nashville, I have always loved Country Music. I never looked at Olivia as not being country. In fact, when I was a kid, every time I'd hear her on the radio I'd run to turn up her songs. She was country to me, with a beautiful twist. I was sad to hear, after I was older, how a few of the hardcore country artist like George Jones and Tammy Wynette, were offended that Olivia was moving in on their territory. But at the same time, I found out how many, like Dolly Parton, Stella Parton, Loretta Lynn and others, stood up for Olivia. Stella Parton even wrote the song "Ode to Olivia" supporting Olivia's place in Country Music. So, while there were a few that are hard-headed, there were a lot of others that fell in love with Olivia like the world has since. I've been a huge fan of Olivia's now for 49 years. Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Olivia.
Back in 2001, I wrote a letter to a local radio station, who seemed to play mostly male artist on their station. I listened one day for over an hour and not one woman singer had been played. So I wrote a letter in protest against it. And the problem I had was not just with them not playing enough women singers, it was that nearly every male singer they'd play all sounded just, or was trying to sound like, George Strait. I had a friend, who was a radio DJ at 95.5 FM radio in Nashville. I talked to him how Dolly Parton, and how other women singers would lose their radio play after they turned 40 years old. And when Olivia came to Nashville to record her Back With A Heart CD, I talked to him about Olivia not getting played. He told me that if it were up to him, they'd both get played. But there's a group of people that sit around and make that decision. And from what I've learned since, it has more to do with how much the record labels give in kickbacks to the radio stations, for whichever artist the record labels want to promote more of, at the time. So it's about money and kickbacks. So, no matter how many people call in and request a song by their favorite singer, if the radio isn't getting the kickback for that artist, then you won't hear the song. That's sad, but that's the way it is. It's very corrupt. I'm glad the artist today can live on without the radio and record labels by being an independent artist. My friend at 95.5 FM radio was, ironically, let go from 95.5 FM when he turned 40 years old. He later went to work at WSM radio playing the country/ Americana oldies.
And I absolutely agree with you, and it royally ticks me off, how black people have been cut out of the Country Music business, with the exception of a few. I loved Charley Pride growing up. I met his wife at Opryland Hotel once, while I worked there. She was such a sweet lady. I had a black friend, who I met in Nashville when I was 15 years old. I met her at the Nashville Songwriters Association, Inc. We were there in the midst of a large group of older songwriters. I was given strange looks from the older folks there, as if they were trying to figure out why this kid is here trying to be a songwriter. And my black friend, she was being looked at the same because she looked different from them. She called herself "The Chocolate Cowgirl" but later went by her on name, Frankie Staton. I know she tried so hard to break into the music business, for many years, but she couldn't get a break. She was so nice to me, where the others in that songwriter room didn't talk much to me. She invited me to come with her to one of her recording sessions, where she was working on some of the songs she'd wrote. I went and I was in awe of the whole process. She was so kind to me and I am blessed to have met her. Recently, I was watching Americas Got Talent and saw "Chapel Hart" on there. I was an instant fan. I think they will knock down a lot of doors, and have a lot of doors opened to them in the Country Music business. They Country-rocked it on AGT. Love 'em and hope to hear more of 'em. I think there's enough room in every genre of music, for everyone. I don't listen to country music to hear every singer sound like George Strait. I listen because I love country music and I love those who sing from the heart, no matter the color of their skin, the clothes they wear, or where they are from.
I gave Olivia a rose in Atlanta which is a moment I cherish. Saw her in concert several times. Bought most of her music and saw most of her movies. I will always admire her and remember her for her beautiful smile, her beautiful personality and her beautiful voice. Once again, thank you for this lovely tribute to Olivia. My heart breaks for her daughter, Chloe. Life can be cruel. It knocks us down and we really have no choice but to get right back up and march on. My most favorite Olivia song is "If You Love Me, Let Me Know."
That's a beautiful story. I just got into her music. I got Her Totally Hot and Physical albums. Was it a big shock when she transitioned to more disco type music?
@@rvegas81 Oh, no, I followed her right into pop music with no problem. To me, she was both country and pop, but I love her older country/folk/easy listening songs even more cause I think that type of music fits more of who she was as a person, down-to-Earth real. Have a good day. :-)
“I love you, I honestly love you” 🥰😢🙏 RIP Olivia
Thanks Karine for this video!! I’ve always loved Olivia Newton-John!! Her “ country” songs were a staple in my house when I was young (70’s!!). Her music will live on!! Grease will always be one of my favorite movies!! I’ve taken a lot of flak for my tastes in music- for being African American & liking music from such artists as Enya& Yanni who are considered New Age artists. I’m supposed to like “only R&B & Rap because I’m African American?!! If it’s beautiful music and touches one’s soul that’s all that matters!! Blessings to you and your family!!😍😍😍😍
The radio has no eyes but ppl will force you to like what THEY think is right for you .Which is why Mammies are unpopular .I actually like goth , rock and ballads but family and others who look like you ; want you to buy their crap
I agree, you have a right to lime what you want.
I agree with your feelings about music. I think it’s the same with all forms of creative expression. We must be free and not limited by the culture we were born or raised in. It’s about expressing what’s in our soul and what is coming through us from a deeper place than our external temporary existence.
Grease was one of my first public performance. She’ll forever be missed
Good to hear many artists and fans stood up for Olivia's right to sing country music. I do not agree with the divisive, bogusly "woke" and souless concept of cultural appropriation which tries to limit creativity and shame people into rigid cultural "territories" that would mean only Italians could sing arias written in Italian, etc, if adhered to, while ignoring the fact that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery!
If you haven't done a video on Stockard Channing, who played Rizzo in the film, Grease, (at 34 years old, which slightly worked to make then 28 year old Olivia a bit more believable as a high school student) and sings the iconic ballad in response to slut-shaming, "There Are Worse Things I Could Do," in the film, her life and acting career, in which she was nominated for 70 awards from the Acadamy Awards to Grammys and Golden Globes and won over 20 times while still acting at 78 years old, is inspiring.
If you've never seen her in the 90's film that was Will Smith's first lead role, Six Degrees of Separation, in which she recreates the role she originated on Broadway and was also cast in in the London stage production before playing the role in the adapted-for-film version, four years later (a rare acting coup for a Broadway actor because film rolls typically go to bigger names in Hollywood, regardless of how well another actor's played the part on stage) it is one of her best roles and all-around excellent cast and based on a true story 🎭
Hi Karine 😀👋🏼! Thank you for this very informative Video Upload. I am a 1965 baby and I remember watching Charlie Pride ( a black country music singer/star ) on TV when I was little and TV was in black & white 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks again !! Peace and Multiple Blessings to You 💯😍😉👍⚜⚜⚜💗💗💗💗
Watch my vintage Hollywood starlets playlist if you liked this video th-cam.com/play/PLjQibLG11RaGfmDt1AMR_wQwEc2txMUFn.html
Hopelessly devoted was my fave too I shedded tears this morning about her 😢Rip our Olivia we love you forever & always 🙏🏼💗
RIP ❤❤Oliva Newton John.She was an angel.
Grease is one of my favorite movies. ( Rizzo was my favorite ) ONJ was a superstar. Loved her music too.
Hope her daughter is ok🙏🙏🙏. Totally agree with you 100%. Dolly Parton and Shana Twain. Growing up e everybody loved different types of music. It should be that way. Music is from the Angels.. Great video 🎊🎊
I find it odd that country music artist's were upset at Olivia Newton John's success, But obviously the country music fans were loving her.
Thank you for this! I loved Olivia growing up.
Thank you Karine 😘❤️
😘♥️
As a child in the 80s, I took the video literally and didn't realise how overt it was. It's one if those songs that kids would have been singing, which is so shocking 😅
Same. We thought the video was fun and it’s an innocent song about exercise. Jane Fonda’s workout video, aerobics and leg warmers were all the rage.
its weird that I didn't know that much about olivia newton, but when I heard on social media that she passed away..it made me feel very sad
Grease was the first movie I watched as a child of 8 yo. I absolutely loved it, and ended up watching it over 30 times, by the time I was 12. Me and my siblings would put on Grease plays for our parents, and of course I had to be Sandy Lol, and my brother Dino was Danny. Grease, and Olivia were a huge part of my childhood. I just adored her! As an adult, I always kept up with what ONJ was doing, she was a kind, loving, positive, intelligent, beautiful, and extremely talented women. She thrived through cancer for 30 years, and always was giving to others, who were going through their own cancer journey. She truly was Sandy, a good girl, with a huge heart, and so very uplifting an encouraging to others. I did know about the ayahuasca incident, although I don’t agree with it for myself, I do see why she felt like it would help her at that time in her life. Her husband John literally gave her a little cap full to drink, they were not married at the time, and were only friends. According to Olivia, It was that time spent together in South America, and their ayahuasca experience, is when they fell head over heels in love with each other. She and John stated they were soulmates. I also have seen interviews with Olivia where she said how much prayer had helped her, and that is where she found peace. It made me so thankful, and hopeful when I heard her say that, bc she was not a stranger to the things of God. She showed so much strength throughout her cancer journey, but she was really suffering the last year or two, and I hate that she is not with us anymore, but I am so glad that her pain an suffering have ended. Her husband John had a NDE as a young man, and believed in the Father, Son, an Holy Spirit bc of that NDE. I never got to hear the full story of what he saw and experienced, but what I did hear was he believed in heaven, and a loving God, etc. I’ve been wanting to know the full story ever since. Many prayers for John and Chloe and her whole family🙏 She is loved, and she will be missed. RIH sweet Olivia ❤️
ONJ4EVER❤️
RIP Olivia Newton John you will be so missed we were blessed to have your talent and individuality one of kind !!!!!🙏😢🙏
i was introduced to grease at 3 years old by my grandma who was obsessed with grease, we would always sing the songs & i would always sing sandy’s part. grease has remained my favorite movie & reminds me of happier times with my grandma who i no longer have contact with. her death has been so sad, thank you for covering her. rip to our sandra dee 💕
hello , R.I.P. Olivia John-Newton❤. ........crazy , how so many of our celebs , are leaving here ........great share , thank you , for sharing......😇🙏💖✌😇....
My favourite song from Grease will always be, "Hopelessly devoted to you ". R.I.E.P O.N.J 🙏🏾🕊
She was and always will be My most favorite in the whole wide world along with Princess Diana 😇😇🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖✌️😇☕😍🏆🏆🏆🏆
They actually favor each other. Same aura 😍
It's real sad when we get to the point to where we fear censorship of just telling the truth. real sad for humanity and lovers of real history.
Yes girl I love me some Shania Twain. She's the reason why I started listening to country music and I'm from the hood too. My white music history teacher taught me that the banjo and folk music was invented in Africa. So yes girl, I feel u. 🙂
I loved her she was such a sweet soul....YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO HER SONG MAGIC FROM THE MOVIE XANADU
ITS 1 OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS FROM CHILDHOOD
CLASSIC BUT IF YOU KNO
U KNO
PHYSICAL WAS EVERYTHING TOOIF YOU WERE A POP 80' baby
MAY SHE REST IN PARADISE
TALK ABOUT A GORGEOUS
W😍MAN SHE WILL FOREVER
BE SANDRA DEAN SANDY OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN
REST IN PARADISE OLIVIA 🤍🕊🙏🏽
Her "Totally Hot" album was her breakaway from country. The commercial for the album shows her posing for the photographer for her album in cool black leather 😎 (you can find it on TH-cam)
Getting into voodoo, supernatural can be dangerous Deuteronomy 18:10-13. Thank you for talking about Olivia NJ , when I watched Grease I was young and really thought that movie was from in the 50s , I love her singing voice so much.
I also totally love and agree with your take of messing with hidden worlds. I'm just thinking if her tribal experiment marriage opened up trouble for her cancer. I wish more people were aware of the spiritual realm which is just as real as our natural realm.
I loved Olivia when i was little, years before grease. She was a popular singer well before that film and she still continued making some great music after.
She was such an inspiration ❤️🤍❤️
Thank you for sharing!
I’m not really into country music. I like some songs, but I do love a lot of her soft rock music. Hopelessly Devoted . I also love her song Suddenly with Cliff Richard. Great song and of course Physical. I remember being in middle school when that song came out, And Grease is iconic my daughters loved that movie as well. She’s had a nice body of work. A sweet voice. She seemed like a very kind soul.
Art should never be gatekept. That keeps things from moving forward
Music comes from your heart not where you live or what color you are
Olivia Newton John was the first "adult" record I ever bought. That was when vinyl was the norm. As a 9 year-old kid, I adored her and had no idea what "Physical" was actually about. I thought it was about exercise. Lol
Funny enough, country music evolved from English/Irish etc. folk music with the influence of enslaved Africans' instruments. Thanks to the digital age, country music is no longer a slave to the Nashville scene unless you want to be on the FM radio. Sturgill Simpson self-produced and became so huge he won a Grammy. Being "country" is a state of mind or lifestyle that anyone can enjoy.
cancer never left this woman alone
Love love love love “Hopelessly Devoted”!!!!❤️
My favorite song of hers was "Have You Never Bern Mellow". RIP 🙏
Mine too. I was 13 yrs old when that song hit the airwaves in 1974.
@@thankthelord4536 it's such a beautiful song
Wow, an Olivia Newton John video!Will have to check this out for sure!RIP!
So beautiful thank you for doing this. That dude got a new passport different name and withdrew all his bank accounts before his “disappearance “ owed back child support $30000. Who could leave this beautiful lady but he wasn’t so awesome so even with sadness from losing him he didn’t deserve her
I don’t mess with drugs period idc if it feels good or not 😭 Thank God she didn’t do anything to herself after that. Some people legit can’t handle that type of stuff.
This is a bit of a sore spot. I recently heard in an interview from brilliant bassist Gail Dorsey (who worked with Bowie, Lenny Kravitz and Tears for Fears) said she was really nice. Gail enjoyed touring with her. As an 80s baby growing up, my mother would play Physical. Since Olivia has left us a little too soon, I find solace in knowing her music has made an impact on current stars. Just listen to Kiss Me More by Doja Cat and SZA. Rest in peace, Olivia Newton-John. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
She had that dancehall body !! she literally made it cool for dancers to level up and when smoking was cool lmfao .but I also loved Xanadu the song
She had a great life. I love Grease too. I was like in middle school, living in Germany when it came out. Good times
She was on the charts same time as Anne Murray “Snow Bird” and “Can I have this dance” from the Movie “Urban Cowboy “ which happened to have John Travota in. Both had the same problem of radio station not knowing what genre to put them in.
Rest In Paradise Ms. Olivia Newton-John 🕊🙏🏼. May Your Soul Be At Rest And Sat High Upon The Wings Of Our Heavenly Father Amen 🙏🏼😇💝
I just had to play my favorite song “country roads” on repeat from her yesterday after I found out she died.
I'm old and I never realized Olivia did an official version of Country Roads, I think of John Denver. Was that something that only got popular in the UK? I think we only know the John Denver version being a hit in the US.
Omg Karine, wegen did tour hey 250000 subsribers? a year ago it was like 60000 . You are an inspiration!
As a child I totally thought it was just a workout song!
Music is universal. Anyone can sing any style.
I watched the Ken Burns documentary "Country Music" and it's shows how blacks were very influential to country music. It also shows that the origins of country music was directly related to black music.
The missing partners/people seem a little suspect ....how did it just get swept under the rug like that ... she moved on quickly too🤔...💃🏾
The cameraman exhusband apparently faked his death. Was found & charged fir fraud
To each his own, we really don't have any control over what we like or dislike when it comes to that artistic realm,especially music,it's a real mystery. The heart wants what it wants!
Saw the film "Grease" when it opened in 1978. I was 17.
Your voice is so soothing 😴❤️
ONJ was one of the most naturally beautiful women God ever created imo, not that I've seen every single one lol. She was just gorgeous with an amazing voice!
RIP to Olivia Newton-John
I love her in Grease and I love her 'Have to Believe We Are Magic'. However, I would love for you to do a video on both Freddie Washington AND Hazel Scott PLEASE!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! Thank you sooooo much. Stay beautiful ⭐️
Karine I love watching your channel. I think you forgot one of ONE'S movies, Xanadu (1980).
ONJ plays a muse in the movie which I can easily see.
Again I love your videos.
Olivia was breathtaking. She and Barbara Streisand. I would copy their vocal styles. They are the reason why I love to sing. 🌹🌹🕊🕊
It doesn't surprise me that the country industry did that to her because they did it with John Denver as well when he won awards in the country music industry saying he was more of a folk singer which is just crazy my favorite song from her is you're the one that I want she is at peace her and her best friend Karen Carpenter and Heaven together singing some beautiful music together God bless stay safe bye
i like her song "magic" 🌟✨✨✨
@@orafranc Olivia herself loves the song Magic too. So do I.
as far as country music goes, didn’t they say the same thing, that the artist was too different to sing country, about shania twain and taylor swift? it’s called evolution. things change and progress and come right back around. my favorite modern song by her is ‘heart attack’; my favorite old school songs are ‘if you love me’ and ‘please mr. please’.
i thought for sure they found that one cameraman husband alive at least a decade later and charged him with insurance fraud.
Yup. They sure did. They are very protective of this genre
@@KarineAlourde they’re never ready for change and i don’t know why. we can’t have just conway twitty and loretta lynn types only singing, forever. that’s how you get revolution. i’d say the best bridge artist was tanya tucker. she sang in the traditional style around 50%, but was thoroughly a modern woman. they definitely tried to but couldn’t contain her. about every 10-15 yrs or so you get a swath of young artists that try to buck the system because the music doesn’t speak to them. i won’t EVEN get into the collabs with pop and soul artists. total blasphemy! 🤯 but, that can be said about every genre, right?
She was also awesome in the movie Xanadu
I love the title song! ❤️
@@danavixen6274 "Also "Magic"
i had that movie in VHS, but wen i got into my storage, i boxed it up with other old movies and mailed them to my brother including a VCR. i hope he didn't sell it 😔
I miss her 😢
Olivia shares a birthday with my father. RIP to them both.
Olivia had a beautiful light & life
‘Please Mr. Please’ is such a beautiful song by her
Your commentary triggered just so many different thoughts, so I’ll try to list them here: first of all thank you for doing this appreciative tribute to Olivia Newton-John. You mentioned that several people she knew, /including loved /ones, disappeared or suicided as if there’s some pattern here. I couldn’t make out a pattern honestly and sometimes things are just weird like that and people have a lot of loss in their life and it doesn’t seem to make sense. I lost about 20 friends when I was 30 years old because of the HIV epidemic-that is weird but there weren’t any connections except that they all died of the same disease; certainly I wasn’t responsible for that, and she’s not responsible for the people that she lost. secondly, Ayawaska: yes it is a very powerful drug used in spiritual rituals of indigenous peoples who are non-Christian usually. People have profound experiences doing it and they can be positive or they can be negative. The people conducting the rituals are trained just like a priest would be trained and quite knowledgeable about facilitating it. More importantly, more recently the mental health field has come to realize that there are many drugs that have been made illegal for years by our government that actually have a very positive powerful effects for people that have a chronic, severe depression that is not ameliorated by multiple tries of prescription anti-depressants currently on the market, or have had long-standing serious trauma that in a few sessions largely clears up when therapy is combined with these medications. they are just as much medication as ones developed by pharmaceutical companies for which they make large profits. In fact there was a study that came out that the current batch of prescription anti-depressants that are prescribed very liberally to a large percentage of our population, really don’t do a very good job for most people- they don’t help at all actually. When you can get major progress on a long-standing disabling anxiety or depression disorder with a few sessions when these other medicines are added, that is wonderful! We’re talking about things like ketamine, DMT, LSD, ecstasy all these things that people associate with clubbing and a sinful life may actually have a very powerful medicinal benefit if used under good medical supervision and combined with psychotherapy. I’m very excited about this personally. One wonders why these drugs were made illegal perhaps the pharmaceutical company had something to do with that because they wouldn’t make any money off of things that could be grown in your own backyard for one thing. Just like marijuana.
Next, I was a senior in high school when Grease came out and of course it was the movie of the year especially for us who were seniors in high school and it will always be a very cherished movie for me and she was wonderful in it as was John Travolta. about 25 years later I was dragged onto a stage with a colleague for a Christmas party and we sang “summer nights” to great applause;it was a lot of fun. One also must acknowledge what a close friend Olivia was to Karen Carpenter during her fatal illness of anorexia went at a time when they knew very little about it, and she was very supportive of her. Olivia has not always been acknowledged for her beautiful voice; it is often described as whispery and airy but in fact she had excellent pitch and range, could go high, and has good chops when it comes to singing. Lastly, this whole idea that “physical“ was an obscene song is ridiculous when you think of songs at that time like the Rolling Stones, “I can’t get no satisfaction,“ or certainly, “some girls” the lyrics talking about “what’s in those silky sleeves” of Asian women, and especially, a very offensive lyric about “black girls just want to get fffd all night and I just don’t have that much jam.“ Truly obscene. Apparently their song “paint it Black,” and “sympathy for the Devil,” are just that, daemonic.And Mick Jagger a great admirer of Black music, and totally copped the sound, just as Elvis had, but was never criticized much for that. we’re complaining about “physical” when the song just said something about going horizontal and “let me hear your body talk.” Thats ridiculous. I always thought that Sheena Easton’s “Sugar walls,” was much more overtly sexual is not obscene come and tell him the listener to go inside her Sugar walls I mean really! Take a listen it’s pretty funny
So beautiful!
Love the song Magic and the video LOL
Patrick was found alive a few years back. He disappeared on purpose.
My favourite song of Olivia Newton John is:"Whenever you're away from me" from the movie Xanadu.She was great.
I love the song Magic. Wasn't that in Xanadu too? It seems like most people commenting on Olivia mostly know her from Grease. Olivia was famous way before Grease with all those hit songs.
@@jamilgotcher365 magic was also very good.I live all the music from Xanadu. The sing Xanadu is also great.I guess most people don't know Xanadu the movie.But it's my mom's favorite so I grew up on it.
@@laetitiastrydom4470 Yes, I love Xanadu. I bet your Mom and I like the older ones before Xanadu and Grease. I love "A Little More Love" "I Honestly Love You" "If You Love Me (Let me know)" "Please Mr. Please" and "Have You Never Been Mellow" Great songs, I wish the world was as it was then. Cool little fact, I appear in an episode of Lifestyles Of the Rich and Famous on TV with Olivia, I got to meet her. I modeled for her Koala Blue clothing line in 1989 in a fashion show and they filmed her backstage for the TV show Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous. I tweeted it on my Twitter account.
If you look at other photos from this Grease launch event at 13.07 it's pretty clear Olivia has breast implants albeit small ones. The demarcation of the implants are quite obvious in this photo especially. It seems she got them some time between filming Grease and whenever this was taken. Quite early days for that, and they would have been rudimentary silicone. Interesting that nobody's ever mentioned this and speculated whether migrating silicone leaks could have been the beginning of her long term health troubles.
All people shud be allowed to sing what ever genre they want. if people try to stop other people from singing then we will miss out on possible new good music bcus you never know what influence or spin will turn up. It's good to hear new stuff by various artists.
Take A Chance is my favorite Olivia Newton John song, it's on the Physical Album
The news was so shocking 🥺
@@protectedmeadow i didn't know. but it seems that cancer is a common epidemic that happens to many people, especially as we age. i heard a long time ago, that there may be cures for cancer in the Amazon but it gets lost to us on account of deforestation, so sad, we may never find a cure to sum cancers.
My favorite video of hers was Livin In Desperate Times! I found it on TH-cam. My mom had the movie Twist of Fate and she would watch it all the time.
VERY WELL DONE, GOD BLESS!!!
Amazing video!
You are of course, hopelessly wrong. The only 'gatekeepers' to anything commercial is the customers. In the case of Miss Newton-John, she was still living in England when country and pop radio stations started playing the record--sent to them by the record company--Let Me Be There. While it did well on the pop charts, it was a number one smash on the country charts because the audiences bought the album and single. In 1974 Olivia was still living in England when she was told about her awards nominations. She made the trip to the USA to collect the awards. Also in 1974, she released the album If You Love Me (Let Me Know). Again the record company--MCA--sent out the single to both Country and Pop stations. Both audiences embraced the single and album sending the single to number 5 on the Pop charts and number 1 on the Country charts. The audiences were what made her popular as both a Country and Pop singer. She did not care--nor should she have--how the other singers reacted to her awards nominations and wins, because as she said when she accepted them in 1975, 'She sings for the fans, and was happy the fans liked her music.'
I like the songs from, “Xanadu,”
I have a favorite movie that I Loved Olivia in and it's called A Mom For Christmas and my favorite songs from the movie are "What If" and "So Stragne" 🎄 💕 ❤️
Olivia was a true beauty! She had such an angelic beauty and didn’t need heavy makeup though she was beautiful wearing it- for those of kids who remember the early 80s olivia’s music was on the radio and she was so sexy without being trashy and vulgar- girls envied her beauty and men wanted her - she appealed to both sexes which is rare for most famous people - loved her sweetness beauty and talent - she is the UK’s gift to the world, the pride of australia, and we loved her in the US as sandy in grease ❤️❤️❤️
She looked just a like one of the dolls by Jan Mclean!!!! So beautiful 😍 💖
