- Опубликовано: 31 дек 2008
- History and Release. In March 1975 the single became Newton-John's second consecutive number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, although it stayed in the top chart position for just one week. The record also received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The song also topped the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart and - in her continued success as a crossover artist - peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
In the United States, it was Newton-John's fourth straight single to be certified gold for sales of one million copies. "Have You Never Been Mellow" also reached number one in Canada and peaked at number 10 in Australia and number 26 in Japan, but was not much of a success elsewhere in the world, failing to chart altogether in the United Kingdom.
Cover Versions.
The song is being performed as part of the 2007 Broadway musical Xanadu. Along with her later single Xanadu, a remixed version by "The Olivia Project" appears in the Dance Dance Revolution series of video games. The Dutch band Party Animals sampled the song in 1996 on their hit "Have You Ever Been Mellow". The song reached No. 1 on the Netherlands singles chart.

Isn't it great to see a female performer not resorting to sexual behaviour to sell a song. Olivia you are the best.
And because she does not resort to that she truly is sexy.
***** the problem is that many of these "sexual" women are not particularly talented. (The same applies to the male singers.) A little subtlety is a very sexy thing. It's a sign of intelligence as well which makes it all the more appealing. The overtly sexual nature of a lot of these people is just tiresome and pathetic.
Well she did use her sex appeal just a few years later. That Physical video had a lot of controversy when it came out.
+Lance37a "Physical" came out about six years later. At the time I just thought it was sexy, but I do view it differently as an older and wiser man. Harmless fun or something a bit more prurient? Or both?
+Kevin Gibbs She never needed to behave that way. She had all the subtle appeal she needed. But, then came 'Grease'....and it wasn't so subtle any more. But I'm not complaining!
She sounded like an angel. I hate she left us. This is my favorite live performance by her.
She sure did! Darn cancer stealing all our good people..Smh!
@leonardwhyte7004 yes I couldn't agree with you more there.
I'm heartbroken. R.I.P. Olivia Newton John. I haven't felt this sad since my father passed. Anyone my age or a bit older will understand. Olivia Newton John was one of a kind. Tonight I'll say a prayer for you, and thank god for blessing us all with your lovelyness and unforgettable talent.
I cried yesterday and it hit me very hard and I don't often have my emotions tugged like that.
I know exactly how you feel. I’m nearly sixty, so that a flood of great memories come back whenever I hear her songs. I,too, am heartbroken.
Many of us Genetation X guys are similarly heartbroken this week. I know that I am. Let's be glad that her suffering is over. Heaven called an angel back home this week. It will be quite awhile before I can watch such videos without crying. RIP Angel
Im an old man now, i fell in love with this angel when i was 7 or so..I aint one for emotions, but im very sad..

She definitely was every young guy’s dream lady of our age.
And note how classy she always was. She didn’t exploit sexuality like Madonna did (and still tries to do). And unlike Madonna, ONJ had genuine musical talent.
How can a woman be so beautiful?
The news gutted me and has all week. She was my first crush going back to being a 10 year old boy in 1974. I've never really stopped loving her and I think I speak for millions of guys my age. Such talent beauty and Grace. Heaven called an angel back home this week. I simply can't listen to watch this video without tearing up. RIP Olivia Newton John
Her death hit me like a sucker bunch. The grief was so intense I could not breathe. She will be greatly missed. Such a wonderful human being she was.
She was my first blonde crush.
I'm a 58 year old man and it's impossible for me to listen and watch this song without crying. RIP Angel... Heaven's gain is our loss. You left us all with your wonderful music and presence
Her death was like a bunch to the gut. I did not know her personally but had followed her career since she appeared in grease. She was a remarkable human being.
Totally agree,olivia was not only one the greatest singers ever but themost stunningly beautiful woman to grace this earth,she had no equell,an absolute goddess.Also a tireless and dedicated humanatarian with cancer funding and animal welfare.
Sadly missed
Rip
Olivia Newton John
Im back here February 2024.
I loved this song when I was a kid.. I'm 57 now and still love it! ❤... rip Olivia 🙏 ❤
i Love Olívia Nilton João
Many people know her for Physical or Grease, but this will always be Olivia for me. The great soundtrack of the 70s.
This song defined the 1970's
The Promise
Yes, same here. I love Grease and her later stuff but this is Olivia to me. The sound of my childhood way before Grease.
She was the top female recording artist of the 70's.
I got her album have you never been mellow for Christmas probably 1974. Loved it.
RIP to a legend. She was the epitome of class, talent and elegance.
Same!
And sweet
She was Beautiful to the eyes and the ears, at equal measure.
Absolutely 100 and 10%!!!
@@whitetiger8652You mean 110%?
I'm still heart broken rest in heavenly peace Olivia. The most beautiful voice I've ever heard will always be remembered and never ever forgotten.
If you are a fan of beautiful voices, may I suggest you seek out some earlier recordings of the wonderful Ms. Ono
You won't regret it
Listen to Carpenters and you will hear a angel😊
@carolsanchez761 Yes Karen Carpenter is a great singer as well very beautiful voice! absolutely so! She did have a very distinctive angelic voice.
It doesn't get much more 70's then this...
the dislikes are from envy. she is one of the most beautiful women ever in music with perhaps the best voice ever
Karen Carpenter
The dislikes are from blue-haired female land-whales and soy-boy male FMists.
It’s a tie.
Very true that, pure brilliance
The dislikes are from jealous
This video is a real treasure. ONJ, the real deal, live, no lip-sync, pure vocal live and the way it should be. Listen for the little 'imperfections' which make it authentic and genuine as she works the vocal, the mic, the breath control, there's no hiding behind auto tuning, multi-tracked composite vocals, overdubs, etc.
Thomas Honles 🌸nice
She does sound purely awesome
Beautiful.singer.she.will.be.missed.god.bless.rest.in.peace
Brings me to tears everytime,thank you...
Like those pants. ✌
Love her voice.
I was 10 in 1975 and knew all the words. 🎶
Rest in Peace Olivia. The sweetest voice ever.
Gracias por tu maravilloso talento. Descansa en paz.
Gorgeous
Im 54yrs old now...I remember the 70s when I was a little kid...Such cool vibes . So peaceful...Olivia Newton John is so beautiful...R.I.P my love❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rest in Peace Olivia. Thank you for the Music
A very nice tune. Her voice is quite remarkable. I love the orchestration. The violin and flute parts are really nice.
Dame Olivia Newton-John... You were exactly one year older than my mother and passed away the same year as her.💔😢
Will always love you, Olivia! You are one of the most stunning and talented songbird that ever lived. 🌹💋❤️💋🌹
Live she sounds even better. RIL " Sandy"......Aloha from Hawaii ❤️
Beautiful woman, huge talent...Thank you for being a friend to Karen Carpenter...RIP
I know the "Swifties" think their idol is talent, but Olivia is the definition of talent. She did it in music and on screen, and her music is timeless.
As long as I can still hear your songs, you are not gone but you will be missed dearly.
Even at just 12 years old as an immigrant boy to the US back in mid 80s, I barely spoke a few English words but I've always loved and listen to your music through the last 4 decades.
No auto-tune here baby. This is what real singers are made of. Be with God Olivia Newton John.
Olivia ascended to Xanadu 42 years after the movie’s release. May she rest in eternal love and peace. 🌹🙏🏼
I love the very 70s sound of the instruments on this (as well as, of course, her lovely voice), particularly the start (I can't bring to mind what instrument is being used), it's such a lovely tone, very wistful and emotive. As I say, it's very much a 70s style of song, without me being able to say exactly what that style is. Lovely. I was born in the 80s but whenever I've heard a song, watched a TV programme or film from the 70s, there has always been a certain tone that is very individual and one which I like.
RIP Olivia,you fought hard, will always love you. 💞
I'm gutted that she's gone.
This was the song that made me fall in love with her when I was 13.
I'm glad I got to see her perform live once. She put on a stellar show.
I remained a fan up until the end.
Godspeed Olivia.
That is exactly my story as well. Except I was 16 when I fell in love with her.
I fell in love with her as well, around the same age. Especially when I heard "I honestly love you". Then she cheated on my with John Ravolta and I never fully recovered.
Me too, she’s one of a kind…
Just watch Grease a classic. I am 63. Remember when this song came out. Amazing, beautiful. R.I.P
Olivia with her Farrah Fawcett hair and her sweet little voice. RIP ONJ. 🙏🙏🙏
They were both great ladies, and both truly missed, but this video is 1975, and Charlies Angel's didn't debut on ABC until 1976; so I'd say this hairstyle belongs to ONJ, alone, or as a hairstyle of the time.
I saw her in concert at the Minnesota state fair in 1975 and she wore that outfit and she was absolutely terrific! R.I.P. Olivia Newton-John.
Hi Susan hope you’re okay?
In some of my darkest moments, this song was one of my few corners of comfort. RIP to an absolute angel.
Yes, angelic song sung by an angel. ❤
Today, God called back one of his angels to heaven, We have all been blessed for many years with your angelic voice. your loving heart and the beauty of a Goddess among mortals. Our lives are truly better for the gift that has been bestowed upon us, Everyone fell in love with you from afar and those who have had the privileged to meet you in person actually fell in love with you. You have touched our hearts, our minds and our souls and will forever hold a special place within us, Rest in peace Olivia. We will always love you.
Quite an angelic face indeed . . . now she's an angel in heaven!
I was told by my choir teacher that I was going to sing this solo at a choir concert. It's my favorite song of hers. R.I.P. Olivia Newton John. Your music will live on.
But, no pressure! Haha.
Hi Sharon hope you’re okay?
Judith Durham and Olivia Newton John - different styles - both will be iconic and long remembered as significant - love them both, no nonsense professional artists
Hi Angela hope you’re okay?
1 Word For ONJ Beautiful & It Hurts That Someone I Dont Know But Whom I Know Of & Appreciate Has To Say Good Bye I Adored Her x
😢 my childhood idol. This is the roughest celebrity death I have ever had to see in the news. I will always love you Olivia!!!
Watching you sing this song is killing me right now😥
The first song I heard her sing. Been a fan ever since. I'm 60 years old. She will never be forgotten. RIP. My favorite singer ever.
RIP beautiful angel,
55 Now I remember this song as a boy playing on the radio. Rip peace Olivia, you died today leaving us with a beautiful old didi
The fact that this was a hit is why punk rock started.
Thank you, dear Olivia, for such beautiful music. RIP. You were my childhood crush.
AM radio in the car as a 7 yr-old. This song was all over. I wish I could go back to that time in 1975... R I P OLIVIA 🕊️❤️
Goodnight Olivia, from a young man who has been a fan since 1974 your music brought me so much joy in his life. I was hopelessly devoted to you. RIP.
Her voice was smooth and real. No auto tune voice garbage. RIP Olivia.
Hi Melani hope you’re okay?
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Olivia Newton John is going to live in the hearts and minds of people forever.
She's has a great voice and I love all her songs 😍.
0:44 - Look! No cell phones getting video grabs of the concert! Just pure appreciation and enjoyment.
She was an angel from heaven who made the world we live in a better place and left us with the joy of wonderful sweet memories, before returning to heaven where she belongs.
I love you eternally, Olivia... 🥰
I watch this every few weeks when I’m having a bad day
Loved this in '75 when I was 10. I've been a lifelong guitar-riff adherent, but felt it when I heard the news. Farewell to an absolute class act.
Remember this song 4 years old
RIP beautiful lady.
My crush from the 70/80s.
I miss ONJ💔💔😢. Beautiful woman inside and out. ILY Olivia 😍🥰😍🥰💖💖💖
I am in tears. Loved her voice and she was as nice as she seemed to be. Lovely spirit.
Hi Maureen hope you’re okay?
the 70s were awesome.....
Yeah, DB Cooper probably partied non stop through the 70s too! :-)
C J Parrott Both the 70's and The 90's rocked
Xanadu actually came out in 1980 they got the date wrong🤷♂️
R.I.P Olivia Newton John. Thanks for all the beautiful music. The music was just as beautiful as you. 💔🕊
I remember my Mama had this album and the cover was a gorgeous head shot. All of this talent and beautiful inside and out. I miss her!!
Thanks for the memories RIP Olivia
No auto tune here..just pure talent
Had to come back. R.I.P. dear Olivia, you brightened everyone's world.
Such a lost! We’re miss you! RIP lovely lady. I’ll think of you every time I watch Grease,😭😭😩😩😩😩😭😭
My fav by her. May she rest in peace.
My heart is broken!!! Watching this video and crying...
My Lord, what an ABSOLUTELY,BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING, GORGEOUS, and so incredibly talented creature you made here!!
RIP dear, talented, lovely lady. You were a gift we loved. The world misses you already.
One of my favorite Olivia songs. Your an angel in heaven. R.I.P beautiful.
Rest In Peace Olivia Newton-John 💖 You will Forever be a Beautiful Soul
Hi Sherry hope you’re okay?
It is good to hear this Pretty, Feminine Lady sing, such a pretty Song. From a time when you just expected the singer to be talented and to sing songs worth listening to, songs that make you feel good and happy or want to get to know the singer, to talk with her and to really know her for who she is. Today what passes as music and singing is something different, like ugly and mean spirited.
NO MORE PAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR LIGHT OLIVIA. WE HONESTLY LOVE YOU. FOREVER.
Love this Song.
The Early Years in My Opinion were the most CAREFREE.
The Songs in these years were Simple in Philosophy yet Powerful in a non-neon way.....
RIP Beautiful angel 💖🙏
Hi Lisa hope you’re okay?
It was 1976, I hadn't graduated high school yet, and just outside our small town was parked these two giant buses, waiting for something, I was walking our pony toward the playgrounds adjacent and simultaneously I saw her and recognized the tour buses, she was talking to some people, she saw us, she excused herself and ran over to us . "Hi I'm..." I interrupted her ... "I know" ... I was speechless, but she was so kind, even knowing she was in complete control of my soul... I was amazed at my good fortune as we walked and talked, she made me feel important, significant, popular... I instantly loved her, she assured me that my life was going somewhere, and when I ask about hers, she said she envied me, and my time to be simple, and to wander aimlessly with my pony, she was like me once, and would be again. I wanted to blurt out "I love you!" She had seen that face before. She knew she was an angel, and as I reluctantly steered us back, she invited me to her concert... She hugged my pony... Nobody hugs that pony... Then, she held out her hands... my heart literally stopped as I moved toward her, my feet seperated from the Earth it seemed... and I was in her arms. I felt her lips on the side of my face and she wispered "I honestly love you" .... And I woke up. 😭
I love all of her songs ,she's the only.singer that's passed that I've she'd a tear
She was so Adorable and Talented, Sweet Sweet Woman 💔
The sweetness and purity of her angelic voice just put me in a happy place.
I love you so much Olivia.
You will always be part of the soundtrack of my youth in the 70's.
Same here! Listening to her brings back my childhood! I so wanted to be her- my idol
Olivia sang so beautiful
I miss you. Olivia. You are that angel in my picture book when I was a child. Beautiful soul. If I could die so that you may live, I would do it. I wish it so. We will always love you, Olivia.
those with THUMBS DOWN DO NOT UNDERSTAND what the good music n song are !
love u olive
RIP Olivia N. J.

RIP. Olivia Newton John. 8.8.22 You've gifted us with your unforgettable songs and gorgeous voice (so beautiful and charming,, truly music to my ears).
I will be listening to you until my own death. Thank you again for your lovely and oh-so-lovely voice!
My first love !!
RIP OLIVIA
A true musical Icon .
Beautiful song, came out in the middle of the "mellow" trend of the mid-70s. And, LOOK & LISTEN, folks! She could actually SING! No lipsync, no cursed auto-tune, just true talent. Imagine THAT! That's the way it was done on "The Midnight Special" back in the REAL days of rock & pop.
She is more than beautiful. The world loves her for everything she stands for. That's a testament to a good life.
I will miss her forever ....
R.I.P. Olivia Newton John
Such a lovely voice and person.she didn't throw her name in the mud.she always kept private such a lady
Not to mention keeping the fight against breast cancer and finding the strength to put up a foundation to help with research and others fight the disease. A lady to the end. RIP
Love you always from Korea... we miss you
I wish she and Karen Carpenter would have done a duet. That would have been awesome. Two of the best female singers ever.
m48a590m I agree.
I agree 100% if only they would have lots of love
m48a590m both were Friends. Hours before Karen died both had a good time with another friends
She did do a wonderful song with Marie Osmond. it's on youtube . Wonderful song by 2 wonderful ladies. i sang along with both of them closer to Marie's age. Karen was just amazing, yes maybe the 3 of them. What talent
I AGREEE
This was a number one
I think the world needs someone like Olivia Newton-John singing songs these days.
RIP Olivia. Thanks for the memories. We've lost an amazing singer. God bless her soul.
thank you for making the world a better place
😥Rest in peace
Your angelic voice and spirit will continue to inspire many generations.
🕊
I must have sung this song a thousand times trying to perfect your sound. You taught me how to sing. I love you forever and am crushed by your passing. Rest in peace and supreme happiness wherever you are. So grateful for your inspired living, legacy and music.
she was such a beauty with a beautiful voice she was my favorite she will be missed
