- I wanted everyone to see Olivia Newton-John singing one of her first BIG hits on the Andy Williams TV show in 1974. This video has received over 33,000 likes! People with romantic hearts and memories have written the most beautiful comments on this video. This song lept into the spotlight of popular song hits during the era of hippie music where mellow slow ballads by solo singers shot up the record charts alongside of song hits by heavy rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Who. Olivia's wholesome personality and raw talent complimented her Australian accent and drop-dead gorgeous face. Add that to her soothing, lilting singing voice and you can easily see the winning formula for one of the world's most popular superstars. Men and women of all ages love her, regardless of their personal preferences for other music styles.
What a TRUE talent and SUPERSTAR she is! She sings from her heart, looks straight into your eyes and then embraces your soul with her true confession of love for only you. And how about that ENTHUSIASTIC, LIVE AUDIENCE applause and cheers when she ends the song? This video illustrates the genuine response of Olivia's LIVE studio audiences. This is a rare occurrence in modern filming of performers and audiences. ALL TV shows these days cheat by overdubbing audience applause and cheers three times more than the original audience applause reaction. (i.e., "Sweetening the videotape"). Faked overdubs for TV shows begin with a high-energy comedian coming out on stage before the show starts. This motivational expert cheerleads the crowd into a noisy frenzy. They goad the audience to respond on cue with wild crowd reactions of applause and cheering and whistling. They record various "takes" for several minutes in order to orchestrate and capture, the loudest, over-the-top applause reactions possible. All alleged "LIVE" TV sitcoms, specials and talk shows in this millennia are unabashed whores when it comes to excessive OVER-USE of canned applause...or rather, "pre-recorded sweetening" tracks. But with Olivia Newton-John on this tape, the audience reaction was not artificial. There is nothing better than a TRUE SINGER and talent like her. She pulls your heartstrings and this evokes loud applause and sincere emotional reactions from viewers. If we only had more quality stars with positive attributes and mega-talent like Olivia Newton-John! - Zábava
My heart hurts this afternoon on hearing of the passing of Olivia Newton-John. So fortunate to have seen her in concert a few years ago. Extremely talented and one of the most beautiful women God ever created. RIP sweet Olivia
I never saw her live or bought any of her records, but I am so genuinely sad that she's gone. She seemed like she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Aaand.. on a personal level, another part of my youth is gone. RIP, Ms. Olivia.
She was a beautiful person inside and out.
@@dtoneperkins6015 this song was when i was only 5 yrs old i used to sing this to my grandad and remember his eyes swelling up. Many memories x
About 8 years ago she came to my town (Minneapolis) for a concert at the Guthrie Theater. I had to go. I'm really (really) glad I saw her. She closed with this song - - sung really slowly. The word "wonderful" is an understatement.
She got Animal!
RIP. The world has lost one of the most beautiful singers. She now sings with the angels.
She is.
Amen, Roger!
Singing for the angels.
and for my Mum to ?
The loveliest song of all times, , I am now 70 yo but I feel the twentieth year of my life whenever I hear this love song. Thanks Olivia, rest in peace and you will forever live in our heart, , ,
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chester - usa - philadelphia, pennsylvania
I think every kid in the 70’s had a crush on her. She was very beautiful, and very talented. Rip
I'm crying for someone I never MET,,,, but knew all my life RIP OLIVIA 😢✨💫🙏🏼💐😢
I am right with you. Never met her, but sure wish I did, and feels like I have from her songs, especially this one.
I Love you Olivia ❤❤❤
The perfect combination of beauty, talent and kindness. RIP, beautiful woman.
To me, she's the most perfect woman to ever walk the face of the earth. I've never seen eyes like that. It's like you can see into her soul, and it's incredibly beautiful. God's creation.
I've always felt that same way, but you just put it in the right words.
EXACTLY 💯

I hear you. Didn’t know me from Adam. And yet I loved her. Just a foolish old man who used to dream about sweet things. RIP
One of my favorite songs but don't t think I can hear it after today without getting a lump in my throat. Olivia, we honestly loved you.
Agreed.
So True!😣💔
I can relate to that. Thanks for sharing.
I love this song. Like all the others who've commented, it's a beautiful song sung by a most beautiful lady. It moves me.
It has a further sad element to it for me. I was absolutely smitten by a beautiful girl, who as it happened bore a striking resemblance to Olivia. She was with an idiot ex colleague of mine from school whose mother was determined that they'd marry which they did but I later was not surprised to hear they'd divorced.
My adorable friend and I were very very close but because of him at the time ...
Now 50 years on, my heart still wonders where she is.
Olivia's sad passing and hearing this song again has stirred it up all over again.
@@nigeledward-few9650 from personal experience sometimes we can honestly love someone who loves us as well, but the timing is all wrong like with you and your adorable friend who opted for whatever reason to marry your idiot colleague. You could probably find her, but sometimes it's best to leave the past in the past and just hold on to the "good memories" that can still make you smile. All the best to you in 2024.
I don’t allow myself to listen to this too often 40 + years and this still hurts. Somethings just can’t be left behind
I understand ~
I understand too !
Some deep pain and loss is just a permanent fixture within us, this song and even just her voice brings back so many memories…good and bad !
Lord rest her soul 🙏🏻
Agreed
Is the person in question still with us and if so did you tell them how you feel?
I know the feeling too 💕
"If we both were born
In another place in time
This moment might be ending with a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this..."
That line gets me every time...
2:11 Oh my God she really cried tears!!
One of a kind! RIP with our Lord Jesus Christ you beautiful lady!
This was about the time I fell in love with Olivia Newton-John. Her singing was so angelic, and she was SO BEAUTIFUL! I was about 8 or 9 at the time. She looks at the camera, and it's you.
I wasn't too interested in her when I heard her first hit "Let Me Be There" was a little too cheesy like a hippie/pop song....almost like country. And she wore no make-up and her photos were very bland. But then she starred in Grease, and....oh my....I liked both versions of her character roles in that movie: sweet and wholesome, and then fiery and hot in that black tight outfit. I was a DJ in nightclubs playing her hit songs back then and couples always flooded the dance floor with "I Honestly Love You" and "Hopelessly Devoted". A little later I loved "Suddenly" - her duet with Cliff Richard (English pop music star).
I was about the same age as you at that time. Born in 1963. So, sorry , She's mine!!! LOL
She was my first crush. And I didn't even see her... I just heard her and fell in love.
100% the same for me and our ages were similar too. This woman and this song has stayed with me for all my life. The amount of times I dreamed of her singing to me is ridiculous.
Exactly. My first love. Made grade school difficult because none of the other little girls in school could hold a candle.
Me too
My heart hurts..My child hood was filled with abuse. My own mother never wanted me and she made sure I knew it. As early as 2 years old I remember hearing
Olivia's music. My Aunt was a fan and started collecting her albums..I was in awe of her voice. It was flawless, beautiful and soothing.. A couple years later, she grew more and more popular. I would wished and dreamed thar she was the Mom, I never had. RIP Beautifil Angel!!💔😭
Did we have the de mother at the same age. I was around 13 years old with an abusive mother.
I. grew. up. in. abusive. home. as. well. i. was. the. heart. of. my. family. my. brother. killed. himself. in. 78. I. lost. four. other. I. have. too. left. who.dont. no. how. too. show. love. I. helped. them. alot. but I. guess. they. dont. think. well. of. me. 🌍👣🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🐟🐟🐟🍃🍃🍃I. miss. you. Gary. and. I. love. you. Bob🍃🍃🍃👣🌍
Sorry for your childhood but having her voice to soothe you That was a blessing from God. And so was she. Thanks for sharing.
@@robertmacmillan2303 I’m so sorry for your pain.
It’s very sad so many of us come from abusive families.
I found I was able to fully forgive & deal w/my past, when I allowed Jesus to heal me.
It was a long time coming, but better late than never.
I know I never could have done it on my own. And thank God He never gave up on me, to be who He knew I could be, once I was able to move past it all.
My father was the angry abuser. And not a day went by he didn’t show it & act upon it.
He’s gone about 6 yrs now. God allowed things to come full circle between us, as I prayed w/him on the phone not long before he had a major stroke.
My sister held the phone to his ear when I spoke to him last & reminded him about that prayer & letting all the hurt & anger go. For Forgiveness. He passed the following evening.
I know I will see both my parents forever in God’s Great Heaven. And I’m so grateful for it. And Jesus.✝🙌
I’m hoping to have the rest of my fractured family there, too. I pray daily they are.
Ask Jesus to help you w/your burdens & your past. Ask Him to take them from you. And be willing to hand them over.
You’ll feel like you took off a lead coat.
Tell your remaining sibs you love them & forgive them for how they treated & what they’ve done to you over time. It doesn’t matter if they acknowledge you, &/or your forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t so much for them, as it is for you.
But it’s nice that you will make the move, that will continue to set you free from the bondage they’ve caused.
*We truly are set free in Christ.*
Reach out to Him for it. And for your own forgiveness from Him. Then, ask Him to renew your heart & mind.
It’s a process. But well worth the effort & fullness you’ll get, in return. From Jesus. Our Risen Savior. Who would do it all over again. Just for you.
*No greater love.* ✝🙌🕊
Be Blessed by it. :)
Mmmmmm… this brought tears.. feeling hurt w my mother as well loved her w all my heart and it took my life trying to make her happy.. only to find out she was jealous of me.. narc dad returned after 30 years topped it off w greedy brother and abused brother by his wife… ego greed and jealousy are so evil….. what wonderful mother Olivia was I have been thinking the same… much love to you.. wishing you peace✨💖💜💖💜💖
On the 8th August we lost the most beautiful voice, and the most beautiful woman, may she now Rest In Peace, goodnight Olivia, God Bless.
RIP Olivia, you will surely be missed. This was her first #1 (of five).
@sensey07~~R.I,P. Sweet woman~~Indeed she will be missed~~I loved and adored her from day1~~This precious woman will always be in my heart~~😥😥😥💖💖💖
Just here after hearing the tragic news of her passing. We honestly love you Olivia and you will forever be missed. Rest In Peace Olivia. One of the most beautiful souls that ever lived, Just so heartbroken💔
My 6th grade school teacher, Ms. Olivia Ellis dedicated and sang this song for us on our graduation day! I was 12 years old and this was the most beautiful heartfelt gift I had ever received during those days. Ms. Ellis, if you ever read this message, I just wanted to say, we loved you too 🤗🙏❤️ Thank you for the memories...
Today, I dedicate this song to my recent loss of my beloved dog, Jade. I honestly love you 😇🐶
I’m 72 years old and a widow and I’m met a man who has been widowed as well with a son who has had not had a mother since he was 7 years old. He treats me like I was his mom. I continue to love him as he was my own. He has a beautiful heart and soul ❤
I don’t think there is a single person who knew her as an artist that isn’t sad today… you don’t even have to be a hard core fan… she hit that sweet spot in everyone, and now she’s moved on, leaving it still in us.
This about two people who love each other but who are with others. I had this sung to me 48 years ago by the woman I loved then and still do even today after nearly half a century, though I have lived with and loved others since that time. I think of my first love pretty well every day and have done since we were parted. I spent decades trying to find her again and finally succeeded some years ago. I'd never dream of going back into her life after all this time as it would be way too destructive for way too many people. I wish I could just ask her one more time how she is and how she has been over the intervening time and to tell her that I never let go of our love but that would be the road to ruin. I have to satisfy my heart with an occasional listen to this song, a tear and a determination never to forget her. I have never told anyone that I know about how I feel and this post has been quite cathartic especially as no one seems to be looking at this page! Incidentally, this is, to me, one of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung by one of the most beautiful women ever to have graced this earth.
You are not alone in your thoughts of a past love with this song my friend ❤️🙏
This is a description of my relationship which began 40+ years ago. We maintained contact through the yeas and were blessed to be together after we were divorced/widowed. After a beautiful year of sharing our lives, he died in my arms.
@@michaelh3544 I know and I am grateful for your thoughts. It is what it is and the love just sits there and gives me a gentle nudge from time to time. And then for some reason this hard nosed ex soldier finds his eyes have gone damp. It's been good to know that someone else has a little part in this. Thank you.
Thank you for expressing what so many of us who love this song also feels. The one for me that this song is about I just recently learned died in 2021, I did a google search and found the obituary.
It had been 20 years since we last saw each other but the love never died. The news shattered my heart because I always thought that one day down the road we would reconnect and finally have that happy ending💔
Perhaps you will in heaven some day. May God bless, and thanks for your service.@@marinecorpswarrior915
2:10 There are tears on her left cheek
She is an incredibly beautiful woman.
R.I.P. Olivia Newton John . And Thank You for all the wonderful memories ... ❤
sad times and she suffered for so many years, couragous and enlightening soul, not many like her in the public world.
Absolutely heart broken today 💔
Now I remember why I was so in love with Olivia Newton John!
So many guys fell in love with her. So many girls wanted to be like her. A natural beauty.
This was mine and my high school sweet heart's song that year. I'll honestly always love you Olivia. Rest well honey.
Omg this hurts so much to watch now 😢 she really was one of the sweetest and kindest people in showbiz and she was so naturally beautiful inside out, her legacy will really live on forever 🙏🏻 #remembering the one and only Olivia Newton-John

This is really breaking me up right now!
Yes, May she FINALLY rest in eternal peace and prayers to her family, friends, and loved ones but WE are truly BLESSED that she left her beautiful musical legacy behind - her style was surely heartfelt!! Most folks will remember her as “Sandy” as I will as well, but I will also definitely remember this beautiful lady with the angelic voice whose musical style truly made you “feel” those beautiful lyrics that she sang!! You rest now, Dame Olivia Newton John; your legacy here is forever cemented in the hearts of many!! ❤️
@@paulcolburn3855 me too Paul
I don't think that there's a dry eye in Australia....😢😭😪😫💔 Australia honestly LOVES YOU OLIVIA 🇦🇺💝💝💖💖💖💖💖😢 R.I.P LOVELY OLIVIA
There's not many dry eyes here in the US either. We loved her and her music long before grease. We appreciate this Australian treasure and also Helen Reddy.
I had just started Kindergarten when this aired. My parents watched it the night it was on television. My bedtime was 8 pm. I was lying in bed and could hear the television. My dad complained that so much music today is so loud you can't hear the singer singing. All of this is running through my mind as the tears roll down. Both my parents have passed and so has Olivia.
Such a beautiful singer. She will be very missed. Rest in Peace Olivia. Fly with the Angels.
Are you referring to "Fly Away"- a song she did with the late John Denver? RIP, ONJ.
She does this perfectly. So soft and so heartfelt
A tear running down her cheek at 2:11 now that's heart felt
I looked closely.Didnt see a tear
@@francescoavila6960 then you must be blind
Sad sad day 😢😔😢💔💔💔 Thank God I grow up listen to this wonderful Artist😭😭😭
SHE IS UP IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS AND I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN I CAN SEE HERE AND DANCE WITH HER

Her voice was just heavenly. This was always my favorite song of hers. She was beautiful on the inside and certainly in the outside. RIP now... your fight is over.
Mikeblack he love you Olivia Newton John in his life forever and mikeblack is in you’re life forever and mikeblack he is with you Olivia Newton John
How can you not fall in instant love with this angel… rest easy now angel
The live orchestration, piano and strings are amazing. Her voice and emotion are beyond words.
That dreadful piano is intrusive and there are parts where I think, "What the heck is that about?"
Really, I'll take a listen with headphones @@nigeledward-few9650
Yup, you're right. With headphones on that sounds really abrupt. It was a mixing thing, the audio mixing is wrong. Piano and string should have been lower.@@nigeledward-few9650
@@nigeledward-few9650 On listening again, you're right. But is it a mixing problem? Maybe too loud over the vocals. I also just realized that when you listen with good headphones it sounds much better than laptop speakers.
Olivia Newton John I honestly love you to mikeblack and mikeblack miss you Olivia Newton John
Wow! I don't know if someone told her to look into the camera, or if it was an instinct, but this is why every boy watching this fell in love with Olivia Newton-John at this moment. She looks into the camera and is SO sincere. She's singing to YOU!
You're right! Her eyes speak the lyrics deeply.
Today, 8-8-22, my heart broke once again. She captured my heart from the very first time. I followed you throughout your career. You were so wonderful. I honestly loved you........ RIP SANDY 💔
God give us an angel....then his needed her back ....sleep well 😪
One of my favorite song hits in 1974. We will be missing you Sandy. What a wonderful beautiful soul you are Olivia. Thank you for the memories. RIP.
We will honestly miss you!, 😢 R.I.P.
R.I.P ….. I will miss you …thanks for the songs you made and left for us to listen for many years
Dispute all the pain my Earthly Father put my mother through, she loved him to the end. She would always tell me and my sisters that we should stand by our husband. Dispute the horrible things he did, she always put him first. I swore I would never do that. I wonder i if my Earthly Father was still here, would he of realized the pain he caused to my mother and his family.
I miss you Olivia Newton John i will member you in my heart forever from mikeblack
I honestly love you Olivia.
One of the most beautiful women to ever grace planet earth!
I've always loved this song, but listening to it today made me cry.
Our Peter and Livvie together again. 🦘
Thank you for your music, Ms. Olivia Newton John... Rest in Peace...
Classical! You will never get a great song like this anymore.
Rip so Beautiful Angel ❤️💗🥀💗❤️
R.I.P. Olivia!! This is my favorite song of hers Heaven got another angel
The way she looks into the camera seems like she's singing to you alone. She was truly gifted to convey deep emotions with sincerity while perfectly singing each song. Her performance of this song is my favorite!

RIP beautiful Olivia. Thank you for all of the beautiful music.
This is my favourite song from Livvie. She clearly chokes part way through and a tear rolls down her beautiful face. Caught in the moment or a deeper meaning... Either way, it is a beautifully passionate performance of such a wonderful song...
The piano accompaniment is great
Wow! Rest well to an Icon. 💔🕊
Rest peacefully beautiful angel,you are missed.
Olivia's most beautiful song written by the great Peter Allen.
Utterly beautiful lady.
My dear mother Anna passed away last year at the Olivia Newton John Centre. A beautiful environment with wonderful staff offering boundless support. Hats off to a national treasure who loved life so much she felt compelled to create a special medical centre dedicated to the preservation of life. Olivia Newton John will always have a special place in our collective hearts. RIP dear Olivia 💖
RIP... wonderful Lady♥️
