I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I like this version even better than the Spencer Davis Group's original! Olivia Newton John makes this rock classic her own! WOW
For the life of me i cannot understand why Olivia's TV specials have still not been released in some official way for her loyal & desperate fans. if ABBA can do it the she certainly can. i live in hope.
A million different reasons. The song rights might be tied up. The musicians need to be researched so residuals are paid to them accordingly. These types of specials were made before cable, DVD, Blu-ray, streaming. They were meant to air once or twice and placed on a shelf in 1980.
So badass! Olivia gets her 'performance artist' side out its sexy as hell! Looks like Madonna, Kylie and Gaga owe the ONJ some props....she did it first.
Missing you, missing ur voice, your eyes, your smile. She's a gift. The world adores this beautiful, humble, kind-hearted diva. We will miss you our Olivia. Thank you for making us happy with your songs & performances. The Almighty says it's time for you to sing for Thy glory. Rest in Peace, our dear Olivia Newton-John. 🙏
Olivia is still the best! It's amazing all of the looks that she encompasses in just this video. When she's dressed as Marlene Dietrich she reminds me of Madonna...only this was before Madonna's time! Olivis is the original!!!!!
yo lo tenia grabado en betamax !! y lo encontre, hace tanto que no lo veia. Era parte de un programa ....esa estapa magica de mi vida , de niño que veia sorprendido la belleza de olivia newton !!!
This girl...I mean this intro...You have to be precise intelligent, profoundly natural and sparkling kind to give out this aura of heart of gold naivete, apearringly clueless lovely, sexy vixen, choreography getting somewhere to slowly aclimatise you, with a sense of subtle self ridicule with steady reminders of sexy ignition, saying we ll have fun either way suit yourself, yet you better wake up its all for you...This takes natural brilliance and profoundly inherent detailed talent not easily read on birds eye view...
ONJ is one of my two favorite divas, with Agnetha Faltskog of ABBA (the Blonde One) - I regard their sopranos as the highest expression. They did collaborate on one of Miss ONJ's TV specials along with Benny, Bjorn, and Andy Gibb -- it was memorable, to say the least. Hunt for it.
hey, i love all the 'looks!' it's the costume-change most! it seems a little familiar, could it be possible i remember it? did it air in the US or overseas?
A good edit for Miss ONJ now in her third round of cancer -- rough times for the top gal - Olivia, Agnetha, Celine, Madonna and a few others round out the top ten of recorded female music/song/dancer history. One of my favorite performances where she clearly leads the whole show is here --> ruclips.net/video/D8mQ9nt5WAY/видео.html
Thanks for posting this! I saw this special, too. She was Helen of Troy in the first part. But who was she supposed to be in the part after Lady Godiva: Irma LaDouce? Louise Brooks? Or just a character created for the skit?
Who is listening and watching this in 2020?
Try 2024.
Olivia the best pop female of all times

Always thought the same thing. And she liked a good dressing up party

The most beautiful woman in the world
Madonna & Lady Gaga years before anyone ever heard of either one. Olivia is a true original.
YES!!!
Who is listening and watching that in 2018?
Ha ha OLIVIA is the original and the cutest.
This would have been a US number one if it had been released as a single
So badass! Olivia gets her 'performance artist' side out its sexy as hell! Looks like Madonna, Kylie and Gaga owe the ONJ some props....she did it first.
+Jon White Shania Twain and Taylor Swift owe her too. ONJ was one of the first to make it in mix country and pop.
Livvy always will be the only one! like not as Madonna neither Kyle, OLIVIA is the most great MUSA around the world :)
Yeah, never even knew she did a version of this!! Wow, she was hot, and her voice is amazing!!

Missing you my idol Olivia..thank you for the good divine music. RIP Olivia
I like how she says 'crazzzzy' makes me smile every time!
Wow, fantastica ,sbalorditiva ,super Olivia, puro talento, bellissima e bravissima !!!
I STILL wanna hear Olivia and Dolly team up on a few songs....
This was taped outside in Century City across from the Century Plaza (now Century Fairmont) hotel.
Way b4 Madonna, GaGa, Pink, Taylor Swift, the awesome Ke$ha (whom I backed last month) and the other greats... talent from AUSTRALIA!!
Olivia is still the best! It's amazing all of the looks that she encompasses in just this video. When she's dressed as Marlene Dietrich she reminds me of Madonna...only this was before Madonna's time! Olivis is the original!!!!!

I do not remember this one at all. I wish all these old shows would be re-released.

Cosmic goddess.
What a babe she was 😍
Cher and Olivia are the true queens of pop, Madonna just copied what they did to achieve success, but they are the only originals.
FlairCher But Madonna made new things too tho

@nrthdude1 Tina Turner too!

But who was she supposed to be in the part after Lady Godiva: Irma LaDouce? Louise Brooks? Or just a character created for the skit?
She was portraying Marlene Dietrich
Some Xanadu foreshadowing....
This was after Xanadu. That is Matt (her ex-husband) as one of the dancers (the one lifting her in the air at the end).
person did a cover
let's get animal
tHOSE CLOTHES SHE IS WEARING HIER,I AM GONNA FREAKOUT HIER.
This song sounds like it was arranged for the Brady Bunch Variety Show. It's the low point of a great career. She looks great though.
