Olivia Newton John - Deeper than the night

[@leicbri]

I remember watching this as a kid and wondering how it was possible for anyone to NOT think that Olivia Newton-John was the best female singer in the world, ever.

[@janeaton3417]

When music was music and nobody lip synced. Love that groovy bass as well. When a live performance outshines the original now that is something you don't see or hear anymore. She knew how to sing then and still does now!!!

[@biceparmwrestler]

I saw this tour back in the 80's..one of the BEST "live" female vocals I have ever heard. She was spot on every single note throughout the entire concert

[@josiespringfield4808]

One of my favorite songs by Olivia.

[@leicbri]

And it's nice to know that ONJ *still* sings her entire show live, 31 years later. Just saw her tour in the UK and she was outstanding.

[@josiespringfield4808]

I will never ever change!! Those lyrics are so true. Take it to heart. Ann and Nancy Wilson.

What do you mean ?

On this day in 1979 {June 15th} Olivia Newton-John performed "Deeper Than the Night" on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'... At the time the song was at #29 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; twelve days earlier on June 3rd it had peaked at #11 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 13 weeks... It reached #4 on Billboard's Adult contemporary Tracks chart... Between 1971 and 1998 she had thirty-one Top 100 records; eleven made the Top 10 with four reaching #1*, "I Honestly Love You" for two weeks in 1974, "Have You Ever Been Mellow" for one week in 1975, "Magic" for four weeks in 1980, and "Physical" for ten weeks in 1981... * In a duet with John Travolta she had a fifth #1 record when "You're the One That I Want" reached the top spot, for one week, in 1978... Ms. Newton-John will celebrate her 67th birthday in three months on September 26th {2015}...

Oh Olivia, I love you so much. You were so gorgeous and amazing. And you haven't lost that in your elder years either. My very best wishes to you and to your family as you deal with this cancer bullshit. I look at you in this video when there was no cancer, or I don't think there was at that point anyway, and it makes me want to cry. You were happy and healthy and bebop'n around. Remember those times, I know you do.. That's still you! Nothing in the universe can ever take that away from you! You are my sweetheart, and my friend, even though I've never even met you before. You take me back to my childhood, and to my youth in high school. I know the words to your songs so well that I could get up on stage and sing them with you. I hope and pray that you are okay. You are a beacon of light in terms of how positive you have been through all of this! It's amazing! It's amazing what one human being can do! You keep it up! If you ever need any kind of support or help or comfort, or somebody to just hug, you can always reach right the hell out to me! I am always here! Remember the song "Talk to Me" on Totally Hot? Well that's me, reciprocating the favor.

[@MultiDesignGuy]

Total legend no auto tune just pute talent and she is very very....well ok we know already😚

[@KellyAStockdale]

How beautiful is she???? 1:56

[@Jansen1107]

I know, huh? Those were the days! Today, Kylie Minogue is one of the few pop stars who sings her entire show live.

[@barbaraschain9260]

Smoking hot...she was a super star able to sing a lot of different genres. Extremely talented and beautiful and just a gorgeous person. She had it all. A big loss that she has left us.❤❤❤❤

[@ryanrose1565]

Olivia was and will always be number one female artist. Ryan r

[@pjost3]

I remember when this was simulcast with a local radio station in Pittsburgh, 1982. I was so in love with her. Such a great voice.

[@Noldi400]

Yeah, that was a sick tour band - Tom Scott leading, "Pops" Popwell, Mike Landau, Buzz Feiter, and Danny Tufano helping out on vocals - God knows who else is hiding in the shadows...

[@kittygrrlhk]

Love this woman and song!

[@flyingfox10001]

the best on the planet ,,will never be surpassed..

[@nps820]

wow!!!!! someone who don't lip-sync...what a novel idea.................................................................................peace.

[@robertobastias3863]

Descansa en paz gran dama de la .musica universal una gran.artista que lucho sin importar hasta darlo todo la gran OLIVIA NWETON JHON NO HABRA OTRA EN SU ESTILO

[@tonycanaris6521]

Great melodic guitar chord and licks complementing the singing in between. Sax and piano and synths perfect blend .

[@FylthyBeest]

@sanchoproudfoot2 Thank you. Tom Scott is certainly an outstanding musician and saxist. I particularly enjoyed his music from around 1976.

[@HomesByTim]

Thanks for post. This is a kicking song. One of her best rock songs. She was my favorite growing up in the 70's. Great!!!!

[@DonnaLombardo-n5i]

She was great loved this concert

[@fluorcyl6112]

I've seen her live in concert.... I've been a fan of hers since I was in the ninth grade! When she did this song I literally begged my friends to leave immediately!!! And that's not because she was doing a bad job! It's simply because I didn't feel like I could handle the whole thing. She was right there in front of me, and I wanted to meet her so badly and I knew I couldn't, so I wanted to leave! My friends wouldn't let me.

[@MSA6001]

What a beauty

[@alainlapointe7777]

Just amazing !!!

[@sanchoproudfoot2]

@FylthyBeest Yes, Tom Scott was heading up Olivia's band at that show (don't know about the rest of the tour). At that point Tom was one of the most in demand studio musicians in the business. She acknowledges his performance as well as the band several times during the show

[@TruthofDilly]

they dont make em like this anymore...last of the greats!

So SWEET Olivia...

[@luisnatal8658]

The bass player and drummer are awesome. I know the drummer is Carlos Vega but the drummer I do not know...Both are geniuses, and Olivia of course

[@WillT7445]

The bass player was Robert 'Pops' Popwell.

Que mujer más hermosa y talentosa 🌷🌼🌻🏵️💮💐🌺

Love this song by Olivia

[@DartPro180]

At the height of their careers in the 70's, the 2 best female voices in music were Olivia and KarenCarpenter

[@TheKwod]

What about Streisand?

[@TiaGigiRecreadora]

[@fluorcyl6112]

Oh my sweet Livi. How I do love you. An adorable pixie, there was never seen the likes of which before. From back in high school I would listen to your records and be in tears. You're so cute. I adore you, I wish nothing but the best for you. This breast cancer thing, it's killing me. I hope you will be okay. I love you so much . I love you Livi. I hope you will be okay. I hope you can beat this cancer thing. It's hit you three times already? Whatever happens we are with you your friends, your family, and your fans.

[@guillermojoaquinbello448]

Most talented and beautiful singer ever. This is how a live concert should be. Much better than overrated singers like Whitney or Mariah.

[@adamkletner]

very good song

[@wendystokes995]

I love this song

Get opening to a great concert. BTW - Tom Scott on sax.

@sanchoproudfoot2 Is that really Tom Scott? Sorry to ask this question so late.

[@nancybl]

You know, I have asked nicely for that dress. What is it going to take???

[@CapricornDavo]

TOTALLY Hot.

ONJ was the only woman that could make a mullet look sexy as hell!!!😊

[@Larry-qd2ih]

I Really Feel CHEATED 😬

[@emta3mike329]

great performance here but did she skip the first two lines of the second verse?

[@janicejanostak2545]

+emta3 Mike They probably had to compress the song since it's being performed on a tv show, which is very common. (The musicians are also skipping the first two lines so it was definitely planned, not an accidental flub.)

[@madquest8]

Sexy... yet completely un sexy, both at the same time. That takes some skill!

[@Barbara-o4w3g]

not trashy...classy sexy! She owned that for sure❤

[@gemanscombe4985]

+ Sam Toucan Ah, well... she can sing a little, thank goodness!

[@kenfrievalt7826]

Parts of this song sounds like let's get physical

[@samtoucan1346]

I don't like the dance moves she made during this entire concert. Kind of a skipping thing going on, Annoying. Her hair looks dreadful too. I realise it was the 80s, but there is no excuse for wasting so much hair spray.

[@mwinstanley7]

so you are a shallow moron, thanks for the heads up

[@opikhupz1223]

No choreography. Hah

[@Me4Evidence]

Nobody cares but you are entitled to your opinion. Olivia looks great and sounds great.

[@AjrimmerMr]

Dreadful song.

[@donnalombardo1135]

Its not dreadful its a great song

Yeah it’s so dreadful, yet you came here to watch anyway.

her litle dress is smoooooookin hotttt.....

Olivia could wear a bag and look good. Not that fond of her hair, but she could pull it off as she was just so damn good looking❤

emta3 Mike maybe video editing. Happens alot back then
