Can you think of any performer today who could pull off an extended medley of such wildly varying musical styles with this level of grace, talent and beauty, without resorting to being barely clothed and bumping and grinding? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this special and Olivia harken back to a time when female singers actually had real vocal TALENT. She happened to be absolutely gorgeous as well, but she really could (and can) sing.
I agree. One of TV's finest moments and my favourite TV moment ever. What a voice, what a vibrato, what a face, what versatility! Like a mini-movie-musical.
From Gibson Girl to Flower Child to Pop Goddess...Olivia's beauty is unreproachable and beyond time...and I don't mean JUST physical beauty. I'm sure you could throw Celtic Queen and Intergalactic Aviatrix into the mix with equally stunning results.
Great job Dad!! I ALWAYS loved getting to watch this special...fun to see it again. ONLY you would have kept this special this long...most people would have long since erased, or reused the tape. The youtube world will be a more complete place with this to share now!!
Thank you for posting this. She starts off by being cool and mellow,and ends up being totally hot with her sensuous and sexy moves. No one can do better ,only Olivia Newton John .To our dearest beautiful Olivia, hope you're happier, more peaceful and now free of pain in heaven.You left us too soon, we miss you,we love you, we never forget, always in our hearts.
it's amazing how Livvy look so good in all those outfits and hairstyle. That's one thing i like most about her aside from her voice. She really had a beautiful face. The kind of beauty that grows in you and captivates you.
i love the beatles song...too bad she didnt record more by them. her version of "the long and winding road' is wonderful. the ?love is alive? is great. she really could have sung anything and made it sound like her own.
Hola rkause soy Winston K. T. Los felicito por este especial de Olivia Newton John espectacular ademas desde de ese año 1976 yo aún no la conocia mucho anos despues logré de conocerla con las peliculas Xansdú y Grease 👏👏👏❤ saludos desde Santiago de Chile y lo compsrtire 🇨🇱 😁
She's definitely my favorite ever. Still devastated. Feel like I lost a close family member. Her music is the soundtrack of my life. As beautiful as she is on the outside, it's her beauty on the inside that makes her so special. She's that rare genuine celebrity that has never said a bad thing about anyone else in interviews or in print. She has done so much for animal rights, the environment, cancer, and more. She's the real deal. I met her twice and she was exactly who I expected. She was an angel on earth.
@@danielg1389 I never met her unfortunately but everyone that has that I’ve talked to just like you says she’s so sweet. She really is I can feel that through the screen
LOVED this! Thank you for putting this on You Tube. I recall watching this on TV when it was brand new. I haven't seen it since. What memories. Olivia Newton-John will always have a sweet place in my heart.
La mejor cantante de la década de los 70 y 80 y ni hablar de su belleza ( incomparable ) nadie la superaba y en mi opinión si no tuvo más oportunidades fue por no ser norteamericana ....solo cuando hizo Grease no le quedó más remedio que catapultarla a lo máximo del estrellato
okay, i have to say her hottest, prettiest look is the last one, the black disco thing where she sings 'heart is on fire,' man, she almost made me gasp, i love her hair like that... and hands down, her worst look? that nerdy western shirt she open and closes the clip in. great audio, by the way.
Girl next door? Don't see her here. Olivia is red hot here, what a powerhouse of a performance. She has it all, beautiful voice and face of an angel with that sexy hot side she exudes here
Olivia often told the story about the Sandy 2 look in Grease and her surprise at being considered sexy. At the 2:58 mark she gives us that over the shoulder look that certainly isn't Sandra Dee.
olivia newton john foi a primeira cantora a se reinventar tantas vezes c seu jeito d ser e seu estilo nao so nesse clipe no deocrrer da carreira dela tb hj em dia vejo que as outras cantoras so copiaram olivia newton john adoro as musicas que olivia canta e adoro olivia
Someone saw this and put her in movies anyway.... "No stiffer! Stiffer! Your face isn't blank enough!" LOL I'm sorry. I've seen everything from "Toomorrow", thru "Xanadu" to "Two of a Kind" (I like bad movies). Lovely woman, beautiful voice, some great songs....should have left it at that.
I absolutely love Olivia singing, she is my favourite singer ever, and I love grease, but I gotta say she was no actress. She pulled it off in grease. Xanadu was a disaster (though seen as a collection of music videos it’s great) tomorrow equally awful…I thought she had massively improved for Two of a Kind (i think she’d had lessons) and thereafter, but by then her goose was cooked in movies.
That show was so appropriately named A Special Olivia Newton-John . She certainly was
How could this possibly exist without my knowing. GOD Rest Her SouL, and THANK YOU for having me live in such a beautiful time!!!
This medley shows early on what incredible range she possessed.
You know I have had this in my video library since 1976 and I have probably watched it over 500 times.
Wonderful video! Love that it was before Grease and she sang other songs and dressed up in different costumes. Very entertaining!
I can't blame you. It's quite entertaining, and Olivia is at the top of her game. Not to mention, she is very easy on the eyes!
Oh God. A video may be 50 years old. But be the first time I see it.

You can tell here she was made to do Grease. I think she was the main reason why Grease became a global success.
Incredible talent, wonderful human being, a likes we will never see again, I’m so glad she was around during my time on earth, thank you Olivia!
Have you ever noticed that good singers sound good when they are just talking.
I fell in love to this girl in 1973, when I was seven years old.
Greetings from Germany!

In this musical Olivias a star that shines brightly. It's worth watching again and again.
She’s has everything. Talent, beauty and highly competent acting ability. She never disappoints. Remarkable human.
Absolutely amazing this video, rarity👏👏👏👏
This is one of TV's most finest moment! Just sheer entertainment and pure talent.
Olivia shows us what she really is here , the embodiment of the perfect woman , throughout the ages

Her voice is so sweet and dear and clear.
she is 63 years old now, and she look good for her age. I think she really has good genes.
Agree. She also rarely drank and mucked her stables everyday. Hard work.
WOW! Just WOW! See?? I said she can take any song and do it just great!! Thank you whoever posted this!! This is definitely a treasure!!
Olivia is pure sweetness and perfection and if asked I’d probably cry while saying she’s my favorite singer ever 😍.

❤Phenomenally Beautiful❤
This is a very special medley. Over the years I have watched it probably 1000 times. I will be posting more from this rare TV Special.
What a Nice Musical Special by Olivia Newton-John. Thank you very much for the upload :)
LOVED this! Thank you for putting this on You Tube. I recall watching this on TV when it was brand new. I haven't seen it since. What memories. Olivia Newton-John will always have a sweet place in my heart.
I watched the whole special but was busy during Lucy in the Sky and wanted to hear it again.
La amo, es un angel de la escena y gran interprete
beautiful olivia of my soul!!!
Olivia is incredible beautiful in every scene. Her angel voice's from heaven.
Our Aussie import and international star.
Cool clip, thanks. I had my bedtime curfew so no chance as a kid to watch this. Hooray for RUclips!
Love that perfect voice...esp Running Wild
First time watching Olivia singing the oldies!

I LOVE IT!!!!!
How gorgeous is this? Olivia before films!
Beautiful dresses from the 1920ties..

I know exactly how you feel, I wondered if anyone had her specials and would post them. Very good memories!
she is amazing
5/5
Imagine if Olivia had recorded this version of Love Is Alive, and released it as a single.
well thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video to all of us. much appreciated! xxx
my love is alive
Love her.💜
Nostalgic ;-)
Olivia sang the best cover of my live is alive !!! Better than the source. So oiry i cannot find it as a single. Only in live show.
8:32 Olivia transforms into Sandy!!!
Disco Olivia is pure hotness.
wow, barbie doll, paper doll, coloring book, 9 1/2 year-old girl heaven!
Rest in peace❤️
Girl next door? Don't see her here. Olivia is red hot here, what a powerhouse of a performance. She has it all, beautiful voice and face of an angel with that sexy hot side she exudes here

ME GUSTA ES UN AMOR
olivia newton john foi a primeira cantora a se reinventar tantas vezes c seu jeito d ser e seu estilo nao so nesse clipe no deocrrer da carreira dela tb hj em dia vejo que as outras cantoras so copiaram olivia newton john adoro as musicas que olivia canta e adoro olivia
Is this the special that made Travolta fell in love with her insist Paramount that Olivia plays the part in Grease?
Yes
all those looks she pulled off......
Pre Xanadu outfits...
The Taylor Swift of her day. Olivia seems warmer here from Ziegfeld girl to disco doll.
👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏♥️♥️
👍👍
Disco
The Video is limited to 10 minutes by You Tube.
This is a reposting. The first one had the incorrect aspect ratio. This medley clip can be very adctive.
so feminine...:D amazing!
She would have made an awesome Eliza Doolittle.
Divertida...
I wish they hadn't used those 'cool' effects to obscure Olivia. :/
Olivia as Jean Harlow and a flapper?
4:33 sooooooooooooooooo kissable....
They haven't seen Miley Cyrus yet.
Huh?
0:27 we are the racist?
raciest, not racist. haha
@@havensmm9308pardon my broken English haha
Yeah they were all on LSD then.
LSD was so old hat by 1976. How much cocaine was used here is none of our business.
02:56 Hot as f**k
