Perpetually young to me....sad day...

 

[pollyanna]

Too young.

I grew up with her songs and her role in Grease.

She was my wife’s age and “Physical” was one her favorite songs.

I can’t help but think that right now my wife is hearing Olivia sing, just for her….

 

[Habs]

I'm so sad. I just loved her.

How sad! My husband and I love Grease, watch it whenever the theatres show it, we even go in costume. I also did a bunch of dance routines with the music. I think I’ll watch it today in honor of her.

I just can't believe it. I grew up listening to ONJ music. One of the first two albums we bought was an ONJ's album. I always find myself listening to one her old songs, regardless of which decade I'm in. When I'm in the gym 6 times per week, one of ONJ's songs from my workout play list - Magic, Xanadu, The Rumour, You're the One That I Want, A Little More Love - will always get played. When I feel down I tune in to her version of "Come On Over" or blast "Don't Stop Believing" to cheer me up. We have many great female singers, past and present, but I always come back to ONJ. To me her voice at her prime will always be the greatest voice ever. She'll be missed. RIP.

I’m ? RIP Olivia beautiful lady xxx

I took my daughter to see Xanadu when she was a little girl. She bugged me for a year to make her the dress that Olivia wore in the movie (as one of the Seven Sisters) so I created an exact replica that Halloween. She was so excited. Good memories. RIP Olivia.

My favorite songs of hers are "Magic" and "Hopelessly Devoted to You", but I also loved her song (not the same as the Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac" version) "Landslide" and the charming retro dance number with Gene Kelly "Whenever You're Away from Me" from "Xanadu".

Here is an extremely rare version of the finale of her American TV special with Andy Gibb and ABBA with a true stereo feed that one of the technicians on that special was provided by the sound engineers behind the scenes live as the segment was being recorded. The US TV networks did not have stereo broadcasts then, so this is an amazing sound document matched with the video.

Let’s get physical was a huge mtv video and song

If you enjoy Christmas music, This Christmas is a wonderful little collection of standards sung by Olivia and John Travolta. It's often the first music I put on each season, so joyful and fun. It includes Baby It's Cold Outside - often considered controversial these days, the roles were actually switched the other way originally, and that's the version Olivia and John do.

 

[Kruss]

One of my vocal inspirations from childhood. I will always love Olivia's music and her many contributions to music. I loved her in Grease as well, but her early country music here in the States is what drew me in to her talent. How I wanted to sing like her!

What a loss for her dear daughter and family! It's not surprising news, but it is so very sad. RIP, lovely Olivia.

 

[Aussie Willy]

Very sad to hear. Australia lost Judith Durham the lead singer of The Seekers and now Livvy.

 

[Amy L]

She fought breast cancer for decades, she's a warrior. F-U cancer. Rest in Peace Olivia.

 

[HeatherC]

This one hurts. Such an inspirational and wonderfully talented woman. I loved her voice and Grease will always be one of my favorite movies. RIP

 

[rfisher]

HULU is showing Grease in tribute. I've already cried. RIP Sandy.

Edit: Mika Brezenski was a huge Grease fan and went to a Halloween party as Slutty Sandy. She's seen the movie over a 100 times.

 

[manhn]

An incredible figure in musical theatre, cinema, music, and, heck, figure skating. Her influence will live on.

 

[overedge]

There aren't very many people in the entertainment industry that you never hear a bad word about, but she was one of them. She was a smart business person too, which is hard to balance with being seen as lovable (i.e. an airhead or a pushover) but she did it. Such a loss.

 

[gkelly]

We had an 8-track tape of the Have You Never Been Mellow album that I listened to often as a teenager.

 

[VGThuy]

Loved her voice. She was so beautiful.

 

[misskarne]

She fought the long fight, and may she rest in peace. As I saw on Twitter earlier today: if the folks upstairs are assembling a girl band, they're assembling the most amazing one they can.

Her last performance, just two years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqjNWuM2z-Q&ab_channel=QueenOfficial

 

[once_upon]

She was only 4 years older than me. That brings morality real for me (people of my age).

 

[vgerdes]

I cried a little when I heard that she'd passed. Such grace and beauty, inside and out. Gone far too soon. FU cancer.

 

[paskatefan]

Gone way too soon. ? What a talented, lovely person she was. RIP, Olivia Newton John.

 

[antmanb]

I was surprised how hard this news hit me. RIP Olivia Newton John

Olivia Newton-John and ABBA competed in the same edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton in 1974 (ABBA won, ONJ came 4th). Lovely to see that they remained friends still all these decades later.
