Subject: Olivia Newton-John....(80's Only)

Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 05/10/04 at 1:27 pm

I like most of these, but "Magic" brings back memories.  :)

From the same film, I've gone for the uber-slushy yet enjoyable 'Suddenly'...

'Landslide' was quite good too...

I always liked the dark sound "Make a Move On Me"... the whole Physical album is a masterpiece of pop music, and the video album they produced alongside it was great too.  I'm still waiting for that to get reissued on DVD.  my VHS copy wore out quickly, I still have one shrink wrapped that I don't want to play for fear of wearing it out (incase they never reissue it)...  they put out some weak 4 track video collection that just doesn't do her justice.

I love them all, Magic, Physical, Suddenly, Xanadu.  I agree with the dark sound of Make A Move On Me.  Im not sure if Ive heard Twist Of Fate, but theres this song of hers on a cd a guy at work has, that might be it.

Is "A Little More Love" from the 80's?  If not, I choose "Twist of Fate".

"A Little More Love" was a late-70's hit and was included in my poll on that board.  :)

Suddenly.  I love the movie Xanadu...I know it's cheesy but I love it anyway.

OMG that was it.. just heard Twist of Fate today and that is my fav.

"Suddenly" - I like most of her music. I still have very fond memories of the endeeringly cheesy, but ultimately nostalgic "Xanadu".

I'm such a dolt... I was thinking of "A Little More Love"... which is 70s not 80s to boot...

I stand by comments about the "Physical" album though, excellent album except for the "Porpoise Song" which was cheesy even when the album came out.  Though it's always nice to see a young Olivia in a bathing suit frolicking with dolphins.

I love most of her songs. Her unique talented voice and her still luminous beauty make her one of a kind.
From the album Totally hot I  can never get tired of A little more love and from Physical Make a move on  me. I guess my fave is MAGIC.
I heard she´s been touring the U.S.. Is she ever gonna come to Brazil for a Tour????? I do hope so.

OK, you got me.  I confess to "Magic" being a guilty pleasure.  I have sentimenal associations with it.

"Suddenly"....BTW...WTF were people thinking in 1981 when "Physical" held Foreigners "Waiting For A Girl Like You" out of the top spot for Billboard....thank God for Cash Box which had Foreigner at #1 for 7 weeks....if my memory serves me correctly.

It wasn't a real big hit on Billboard, but my favourite was The Best of Me which she performed with Canadian pianist David Foster.  Such a nice song :)

Again - "Heart Attack" had powerful music. I guess I'm a sucker for good percussion arrangements. Funny, I don't even play! (LOL)
