    I'm not the sort that cries for every famous person who dies, only twice in my life and I'm 64. Once was Princess Diana and the other one is you. You had an amazing, beautiful clear voice. Rest now. RIP X

      "Plus,besides her being a great person,and not a stuck up celebrity who thinks their s**t don't stink,and the fact she lost her life to Cancer,(As did my sister) and didn't die from drugs,alcohol,being shot,etc. like a lot of celebrities did!" "It was sad for Laura Brannigan,and Farah Faucet as well,illnesses..."

      Thank You for saying that. I am the same age. I didn't cry for Diana but my wife did and I understood why. Moreso as time has gone by. For Olivia though I cried. Silly really. I loved her from the first time I saw her. She never knew I even existed. She was a beautiful, talented, intelligent, kind Lady. She oozed class. A smile like sunshine. I have never seen, and never will see, a more perfect woman than Olivia Newton John. RIP Beautiful One. 💗 Love You Forever. X

      ​@@alleadmin3294you cried only because 10's of millions of Americans alive then in 1971 and now grew up or old with her like many many other singers, celebrities, actors, politicians etc.... Death comes to all, no matter what. Nothing lasts forever, absolutely nothing. Everything comes to an end eventually and so will we. There's only 2 sure things in life for everyone and that's death and taxes!😢⚰️🤑💵💰to IRS.

    Yes indeed. It was truly 1971! Wow, what a different country it was compared to today in 2023! This stunningly beautiful woman had me in a daze back in that summer of 1971. Miss her and that country we all alive then and now lived. Nixon in the white house, 30¢ a gallon gasoline, Willard the movie in theaters all over USA, 10¢ candy bars, Cokes Pepsi's RC colas in returnable glass bottles for 5¢ a bottle, 10¢ Hostess cupcakes fruit pies Ding Dongs etc... and a Big Mac, Whopper, Jumbo Jack for a measly 55¢. If you lived it, you know what I mean. A time never to return again ever. I was 12!

    Don't forget that she was an IMMENSE force behind one of Australia's most prominent cancer treatment centers. And that was in spite of Scotty from management. OMJ Cancer is a well-respected operation which wouldn't have existed without her. I'm not a fan of privatized medicine, but look at her influence across ALL of Australian cancer care. What an extraordinary woman. I'd rather have you here Olivia, but as an American I'm grateful and impressed for what you achieved in the medical world.

      Although they are still with us I would add Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt to that list.
