Olivia Newton-John AMAs 1976

Olivia was the big winner of that night - her are the complete Olivia-parts of the show

[@frangordon9215]

She’s one in a million and no one will ever take her place.

[@Ralphfan1]

No auto tune, no lip syncing, no naked women dancing like strippers, no wardrobe malfunctions, no marching bands or exotic animals, no laser lights, robotics or explosions. Just beauty, grace and incredible talent which is ONJ.

[@speedlearner]

I totally agree with you. Although Paul McCartney did say he would have a deliberate wardrobe malfunction if he played at the Super Bowl. Just kidding. I was disheartened to hear about the loss of Olivia Newton John. What Olivia Newton John song is your favorite?

[@Ralphfan1]

@@speedlearner It's really hard to pick one. Everything ONJ ever sang was golden. She could have sang the ABC's and it would have been platinum. Here's a few of my favorites, but anything she sang was my favorite. Honestly love you, Sam, Have you ever been mellow, Suddenly, Twist of fate.

[@speedlearner]

@@Ralphfan1 I personally prefer the song Fly Away with John Denver. I wish I could have seen her live in concert. Did you ever see her in concert?

[@Ralphfan1]

@@speedlearner Yes, that's a great song and ONJ performing live was perfection every time. Unfortunately, I was never was lucky enough to see her in concert.

[@speedlearner]

@@Ralphfan1 I feel bad that you were never able to see Olivia Newton John in concert. Recently I reviewed the song Hopelessly Devoted To You. Would you like to see my review?

[@Xfile1947]

Olivia had a tender humbleness. Very kind, warm, considerate soul. Now rest peaceful in Xanadu. ❤️🤍

[@dr.ulyssesswlabr6642]

Amazing seeing this. And the great Glen Campbell introducing ONJ. God bless their souls! We didn't realize how good we had it back then.

[@carolsanders3979]

This is a time when award shows where nice to watch clean no vulgar language no nudity no disgusting skits just all about the music and the artists I live in and John is such a beautiful voice I love her voice she is going to be missed .

[@tana5098]

So true. God was first in most Americans lives. This is why that time was clean. Satan is being allowed to reign on the Earth, and darkness is invading the souls of us. The Lord promises that if we turn from our wicked ways, He will bless this nation. Maybe it's time we do this before America and the world goes down the drain. 🙏✝️🕊💞

[@blackout8105]

Olivia is / was awesome singer. She gave her awesome self and always shined. Loved her and Thank God we have her Legacy of music. So Memorable. RIP Olivia.

[@leefrancis190]

ONJ,you are just too good for us you will always be remembered as one of our favourite of all times.

[@andrewperkins2196]

She loved The Camera and The Camera loved her! A real Songbird!

[@luvyesmusici4886]

She is STILL, the very best, and the most beautiful woman on Earth. What a gift to the world.

[@davidscheck682]

Loved her since the beginning. Thank you for making my childhood special Olivia - RIP!

[@sagbeach1]

Beautiful soul and beautiful voice! She will be so missed 💝 I remember this hairstyle was very popular in early 80s.

[@AMEER-114-]

So you remember 1976 as part of the 80s.... Quite delusional

[@bonanzatime]

@@AMEER-114- Honest Mistake😂 It was the mid 70s, and they called them, Wings. By the 80s the hairstyles were mohawks and other weird shit..

[@hellena55555]

She is the best singer ever...thanks for her. Like an angel is singing....

[@nwlman]

I love her music, she has such a pleasant female voice, no shouting or screaming. Her songs were great as well. I collected all her CDs. Beautiful girl with the talent and voice to match, that is a one of no one comes near her.

[@giovannytravels5677]

She was already a big star back then, 2 years latter Grease only made her even bigger

[@bseer]

Became an ONJ fan while watching this in 1976. Watching again in 2021 it is clear why I still have that same school boy crush.

[@BrianKliewer]

Aired January 31, 1976. Remember it like it was yesterday. I was glued to the TV just for Olivia.

[@whitsundaydreaming]

Sheesh. What did we have on our hands back then? Stunning on all levels. She was a true pro by thanking John Farrar for the songwriting. He gave her many more hits in the next 6 years.

[@DASands-iw9me]

RIP beautiful sweet lady 🙏

[@allgood6760]

Well deserved... never to be forgotten... RIP ONJ! 👍🙏

[@NormaChassagne-fp3co]

A beautiful singer with an exceptionally beautiful voice. Her talents will be missed. Her songs will live on in our hearts, Always. ❤❤❤❤

[@rubyred93chev]

_Such beautiful energy coming from ONJ. And this is why she was cast as Sandy in Grease. I still listen to her lovingly today._

[@nadanightingale4733]

Always loved Olivia’s songs. I am so glad I got to see her twice in Melbourne Australia, where we both emigrated to, your music lives forever Olivia ❤

[@jamthan7892]

I ain't a fan of country music, but ONJ sings so well. I think Sam is the first song I heard from her catalogue.

[@rpdbu8250]

I remember 1974 Olivia Newton John summer it was first If You Love Me Let Me Know then I Honestly Love You then her next album early 1975 Have You Never Been Mellow and Please Mr Please. She did a couple minor success albums in 1975-1976. Sam was early 1977 Pop country ballad a good comeback to Top 20 charts. 1978 everything changed with Grease following 1979 Totally Hot album with A Little More Love and Deeper Than The Night and 1980 Xanadu, Magic, Suddenly then 1981-1982 Physical, Make A Move On Me and Heart Attack.

[@amusedandbemused1187]

I remember watching this live. She had a great night, and so did I !! Love Olivia.. always have and always will.

[@felipenunez3995]

Ya no hay cantantes cómo estás, tan sencillas, lindas, y que solo con abrir la boca llenan una pantalla, sin grandes escenografías, sin cambio de vestuarios , sin bailarines... puro talento y belleza natural, aquí no hay cirugías ni implantes Grande ONJ

[@transfunctionalmedia5172]

Grandísima ONJ y puro talento encantador.

[@josiecotrona583]

Olivia Newton John Australia’s Queen....her music is so easy & so mellow to listen to, love you Olivia 😍😍😍😍

[@carllangford2906]

Absolutely beautiful and such an amazing voice love you to bits Olivia

[@josephbitton2586]

It is the first time that I see this AMA clip. Thank-you for it is beautiful.

[@sandrahawes1739]

Wow her songs and voice well I love them so much!

[@dhsegyhr]

She transmit peace

[@PANTTERA1959]

She beat out some rock royalty with simple lyrics about the love between a man and a woman with a package of grace,beauty,femininity and real singing talent.

[@wilburwilbur7241]

Oh my Gooood! Her voice is very beautifully divine and sounding divine even in live singing! No auto tune…no dancers costumed like strippers, no gyrating moves and et al….simply sheer beauty of a voice and stage presence. That is the one and only piercing-candy voiced singer and one in a million of a talent: Olivia Newton-John!

[@y2k7-9-11]

....she must have a light and loving soul.....

[@felipenunez3995]

La mas hermosa y una de las mejores cantante de la década de los 70 y 80 y hasta nuestros días

Rest in Peace Olivia

[@algismelanas4576]

Beautiful to see and feel. This was when the world was more true and people were more genuine and lovely. Today people seem to hate one another and because of the internet and tecnology people's heart are getting colder and colder. Teenagers are hooked on violent games and other internet stuff,too. It's a shame.

[@DRIVEIN101]

Olivia is so lovely inside and out, no doubt millions of red-blooded American boys like me wanted to marry her.

[@luvyesmusici4886]

Still do! I have loved her voice, and this woman since age seven. Nearly fifty years. She has been my favorite vocalist since the very first time I heard her on the radio.

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

Well I'm female and I wanted to be her!! 😁

[@josephbitton2586]

I thought for a long time that the Mellow album may be the greatest album of all time.

[@jakestevens3788]

she is soooooo humble but YOU deserve that award plus Elton is a bitter old queen

[@Cynthia00007]

Let Me Be There and If You Love Me, Let Me Know, 2 fave Hits that ELVIS loved, he performed regularly. Always wondered if he and OLIVIA ever met? Sweet Angel 😇 OLIVIA, may GOD give You everlasting Peace ☮️♾️✝️❤️❤️. 8-20-22

[@farhanarahman9009]

I saw Olivia Newton John in the early 1970,s in Ottawa Canada in the exhibition she was phenomenal I still remember what she was wearing a pink jump suit Farhana then I saw her years later in the late 1990,s in the Today Show Plaza in the 🌧 so amazing 👏

Would love to one day here and mashup of have you never been mellow and Diana Ross Touch Me in the morning. Each song reminds me of the other on some level. Rip Olivia beautiful soul.

[@laminage]

Dionne Warwick was one of Olivia's Major Influences growing up. She also Co-Hosted that year with Glen Campbell & Aretha Franklin (RIP). She outlived so many of the people she worked with.

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

I had a Dionne Warwick cassette I played in my car, played it all the time, loved her music, and olivia too

Amazing Olivia Newton-John. Her and Karen Carpenter are my all time favorite. Both wholesome and just lovely, had incredible voice that just soothing to my soul. Rest in Peace ONJ and KC

[@fredwaiss5955]

Olivia, Karen, Petula, and Cass Elliot were for unique talents we were all blessed to hear. Two of Karen's best friends in the music world were Olivia and Petula, and they attended her funeral. Cass also died young. Petula, though oldest one of those four, is the only one still alive. I listen to anyone of them now and the tears just come at the wonder of the beauty of voice--and, in Olivia's case, of the woman.

[@yudjejhejdjdj9496]

LIVY 4 EVER!!

[@RJS1974]

I liked Linda Ronstadt because she had her own band. And it was real music. But Olivia had an appeal for sure.

[@boffo63]

Linda's one of the great singers but Olivia did her thing better than most. I adore Karen too. Limited range means crap when you use it well

[@RJS1974]

@@boffo63 I do love Olivia too. Her tone and phrasing were beyond incredible.

[@hardsam68]

Any of the nominees would have been worthy in an Australian but I love both Helen and Olivia equally, both are huge stars here but as far as vocals and range definitely Linda who has one of the most powerful voices of all time

[@havensmm9308]

@@boffo63 who has a limited range? Olivia has a 3+ octave range. You can look up various vocal analysis on her. Start with Wings of Pegasus and then look up both live and studio ranges.
