RIP Olivia Newton-John

RIP Olivia Newton John. Here she is live, what a voice. Dunno how old she is here, but she was still nailing those high notes.

The chorus of this song is an earworm.

My college roommate had a massive crush on her. RIP

I guess she's not known as a belter, a powerful voice like Whitney Houston or a better example I'm not thinking of, but her voice is subtlely powerful, she's not showy about it. There's something about her tone or intonation I don't know singing, it's very distinctive and lovely to hear, maybe it's the accent coming through, it's a very warm tone. What a voice.

All great singers have a tonality that is pleasing to the listener. Sometimes they call it color. Others can hit the notes, but there is just something likeable about their tone. Her voice was very smooth and pleasant to listen to. Plus she came across as a very nice person. She was a national treasure in Australia.

The movie "Grease" is still one of my favorite of all time greats.

I was ~9 or so when Physical came out and me and my friends waited for it to come on the radio as often as possible.

Much more recently (3 weeks ago), my daughter went to a theater summer camp and they learned and performed Grease so we'd been watching/listening to that A LOT lately as well.
