- 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. - Hudba
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.
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.
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
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!
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%?
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
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.
Rest in Peace Olivia. The sweetest voice ever.
Gracias por tu maravilloso talento. Descansa en paz.
Gorgeous
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.
How can a woman be so beautiful?
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...
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🤷♂️
I have to agree, though I was born in '81. I have steadily fallen more and more in love with the typical vibe of 70s movies, TV and songs as I've gotten older and - critically - been able to hear more of them on CZcams. The instrumentals and singing on this song are the epitome of that. Wonderfully mellow and tugs at the heart strings.
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.
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…
Rip classy lady she sounded like a angel I hate that she left us This is my favorite live performance by her I'm heartbroken Rip 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 your lovelyness and unforgettable talent I love OliviA Newton John so much 🎶❣️♥️💖❤️❤️🩹❣️💝💓❤️🩹🤩💜🎤💞💜😘🎤💞🎼😘💙😻💋💛🎸🥰🎵💛🤍😍💕💘🌹
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
she was a monster in the day. her voice was just the bomb. and my gosh... she was so beautiful! hah
She still is.
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.
This when real singers actually sang the song without any dubbing pure clean and beautifully done what a great voice she has always had such a beautiful song
No auto tune here kids... This is called talent !!
Her range is incredible.
143Chippy a very small percentage of modern music uses autotune. And even then there were sound boards and equipment improving the quality of sound.
I was just going to comment on that but you took care of it. Thats how you sing kids.
"a *very small percentage* of modern music uses autotune"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah I had a big laugh myself.. Wasn't even worth my response ! Some people just have no clue LMAO !!
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 😍.
Will always love you, Olivia! You are one of the most stunning and talented songbird that ever lived. 🌹💋❤️💋🌹
Her voice was smooth and real. No auto tune voice garbage. RIP Olivia.
Hi Melani 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. ❤
One of the most beautiful women of all time
Don Ruf. Agree tottaly hot..lol
Andrew Lopresti... She still looks fabulous!
One of the most beautiful vocal performances of all time. Soothing, resonant bittersweet and soaring high with great range of notes and emotions. This is Olivia's true beauty.
Lovely face and one of a kind but way too skinny.
she certainly was and is a beauty....also a big fan of here music
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.
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❤❤❤❤❤❤
Olivia helped make the 70's a beautiful time whenever she appeared on tv or the radio.
This song reminds me of my late mother. She and my father played this song all the time in the 70s. RIP, Olivia Newton-John. What a pure voice. The world has lost a legend.
Such a wonderful singer. Rest in peace Olivia
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.....
I think the world needs someone like Olivia Newton-John singing songs these days.
Once in a life time treasure. We will miss her dearly. RIP Olivia.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the funky jeans, fabulous 70's fashion. Mind you she could have worn a sack and looked fabulous 😁
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?
Dame Olivia Newton-John... You were exactly one year older than my mother and passed away the same year as her.💔😢
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?
Beautiful woman,Beautiful voice.
Rest in peace Oliva. You will be missed.
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?
0:44 - Look! No cell phones getting video grabs of the concert! Just pure appreciation and enjoyment.
Olivia was one of the most beautiful women of all time!! The voice of an angel and a lifetime of great songs! We will all miss you!! Finally, your pain and suffering are finally over!! RIP Olivia, Heaven just collected a legendary Angel!! August 8, 2022❤💔😢
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
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.
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 🕊️❤️
I am forever in love with Olivia.
Omniscient 1 me too and I'm a woman! 😀
Who wouldn't be!
Olivia ascended to Xanadu 42 years after the movie’s release. May she rest in eternal love and peace. 🌹🙏🏼
The voice of my late high school and early college days. Now she sings with the angelic choir. Sing on, Olivia, sing on...
RIP beautiful angel,
she was such a beauty with a beautiful voice she was my favorite she will be missed
It doesn't get much more 70's then this...
RIP Olivia. We will always love you.
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?
Rest in Peace, Olivia. You have been enriching our lives for so many many years...YOU will not be forgotten.
RIP Olivia. Thanks for the memories. We've lost an amazing singer. God bless her soul.
No auto-tune here baby. This is what real singers are made of. Be with God Olivia Newton John.
How can anyone be that beautiful??!!
+Tinker Diggens I've been trying to figure that out ever since the first time I saw her back in the mid 1970's. She's STILL a ridiculously beautiful woman.
Tinker Diggens She sings with sincerity. THAT'S what I like about this performance.
You're quite pretty yourself, ma'am. And great guitar playing, btw!
Tinker Diggens What you see is an expression of God which is beautiful.

From the time of stars with natural talent and natural beauty
God Bless You... I come from that time and place.. Work Hard and maybe you can Make enough Money and Find That Special Someone that Loves You.
That was my Mom... she let me be.. and I became Stronger... I Love Olivia Newton John.... she is a Angel of God. Natural Beauty comes from within...
Karin Judd : well said! :)
Karin Judd Love the spelling of your name...same as mine. I think you have rather good taste and I appreciate that :)
Feathered hair, that was the day
Even so,by the mid 70's most singers were performing on tv by lip synching horribly to their hits.So,she's amazing!
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
Que en paz descanses, has hecho feliz a mucha gente con tu música. Hermosa época.
Que tristeza siento...😔😭
Live she sounds even better. RIL " Sandy"......Aloha from Hawaii ❤️
One of the most awesome voices. RIP Olivia Newton John. 😢
Rest in Peace Olivia. Thank you for the Music
Love you always from Korea... we miss you
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..just pure talent
Her voice was so beautiful and versatile. She could sing anything. So gorgeous too. Such a big loss.
She fit the 70s absolutely perfect.
Hi Zenaida hope you’re okay?
She is more than beautiful. The world loves her for everything she stands for. That's a testament to a good life.
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
Few people sing as good as she does!!
Yeah…maybe Linda Ronstadt..
Kids today need to see this. She actually sang this. No auto-tune, no background vocals. She doesn't need a dozen backup dancers, and she keeps her clothes on. And everyone is memorized by her beauty.......Don't believe me? ask any male over the age of 20...............That is talent. Not like the artists of today.
Beauty and Talent are very rare in the millennium.
My first love !!
RIP OLIVIA
A true musical Icon .
Thank you, dear Olivia, for such beautiful music. RIP. You were my childhood crush.
Even after forty years, this melody (Olivia) keeps me very MELLOW.
She is probably an angel.
Arc Kocsog my father LOVED her.
Arc Kocsog agree.
Probably?
Yes.....she is
Probably.
Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice... RIP, Olivia. You are loved by millions...
Like those pants. ✌
Love her voice.
I was 10 in 1975 and knew all the words. 🎶
Great old classic! She was so popular in the 70's-young, pretty & talented!
My fav by her. May she rest in peace.
Just watch Grease a classic. I am 63. Remember when this song came out. Amazing, beautiful. R.I.P
Olivia, you will always be missed. High above there, rest in peace and no pain
she is so beautiful
R.I.P. Olivia Newton John
Rest In Peace Olivia Newton-John 💖 You will Forever be a Beautiful Soul
Hi Sherry hope you’re okay?
Pure talent. Bring back the 70's.
I've watched this clip I've never come across and totally loved it. She was my idol.
I'd always listen to ANY programme on 70s pop music (the best music decade ever), on TV or Radio. The 60s and 80s were really good & nostalgic too, but the 70s were brilliant.
O yeah lisa
Prob never gonna happen...but wearing bell bottom jeans, polyester, big lapel type, shiny, flamboyant shirts, and holding a mini transistor radio to the ear sounds fantastic compared to today's world! Ugh
@@franklinshriver8441 The innocence of to many people is gone way too young these days
I can't believe there are 237 dislikes on this video! She has the voice of an Angel and is possibly the most beautiful woman who has ever lived!
I was thinking the exact same thing!!!! She was amazing on this performance!!! Maybe they didn't like the band?
IMHO this song is surprisingly insipid compared to, say, Magic, or anything at all from Grease, so people are probably disappointed with Olivia and with Farrar.
kenslizzard----they are nothing but JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!! all there is to it
kenslizzardj----they aren't anything but jealous
kenslizzard the dislikes were people looking for the studio version...we could only hope.
Gentle times. I miss the 70s.
RIP Beautiful angel 💖🙏
Hi Lisa hope you’re okay?
Remember this song 4 years old
Beautiful Olivia. A true Angel.
How music influenced us into learning how to be within the comfort of ourselves, Olivia shared that with so many. She will be missed, as long as she's on CZcams, the world has a chance.
Hi Cheryl hope you’re okay?
RIP Olivia N. J.
😢 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😥
god....I miss the 70's !
OMG.....she's so beautiful & talented + classy...not like the trash of today
Middle to high range is clear. Position is clearly suggested. Stunning performance.
I still have this 45 single #1 in March 1975, RIP Olivia 🌹 🍀 💚🖤💔
Such a beautiful incredibly talented woman
