Olivia Newton-John - Please Don't Keep Me Waiting

[@brasstacks7181]

Olivia's BEST. I wore this album out as a teenager and still know every word to these songs. They just don't make 'em like her anymore! Rest peacefully beautiful lady.

[@desolationangel5136]

Me too. I can remember sitting with the liner lyrics singing along.

[@mariem8024]

So did I. It was actually my first grownup album.

[@bharatbhushanpathak8514]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🐂

[@davidanthony7495]

Yep!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏼

[@laurabloodiam]

Man you're not kidding and me too every word of it!!!

[@shellzmoe8966]

I’d totally forgotten her syncing up with that synthesizer at the end of this song, it totally blows me away! This album was such a huge part of my adolescence and I truly love Olivia!

[@jukingeo]

It was vocoder action before there were vocoders! While the whole song is great, it starts off mellow in the beginning and then slams towards the end. Overall, most of the album was a different take on Oliva and it showed a bit more an edge to her and that she isn't always mellow all the time. As a kid, I often kringed at her slower and overly mellow songs, (hence one song with 'mellow' in the title), but when she did an upbeat song, it was sheer bliss. There is no doubt that she was one of the best female vocalists of all time and while I may not have liked all her hits (namely the slow ones), there are a good number of songs of hers that I do like. Of course, she provided her voice to a couple popular movies as well, Xanadu and Grease, and I pretty much like all her songs from those movies.

[@4x4_Gal]

Best album EVER! Bought it in '78 when I was 9 and pretty much wore it out. And I still have it!

[@jukingeo]

My sister bought the album and while I will not say I as a big fan of Olivia back then since she was noted for country songs and ballads, I definitely liked the more upbeat songs on this album, particularly this song and Deeper Than The Night, so I often sneaked the album from her :).

[@timothysmith8944]

""The highest female vocal I've heard(at the end of this song) for the exception of Mariah Carey, Olivia was a tremendous talent,and we are gonna miss her SOOOOO MUCH!"♥️♥️♥️👏🎶🙏

[@cheickboundi6725]

You're wright.until today

[@tim2oolman]

​@@cheickboundi6725That's right,not wright...still no female singer as talented as Olivia now!"

[@tim2oolman]

Really? What female singer today can reach those kind of notes? No really! Listen to the end of the song again...

[@shellzmoe8966]

There’s an a cappella version of this on Facebook that will blow your socks off!

[@jukingeo]

RIP Olivia! One of my favorite songs of what I think was her best album. Olivia went down more of a soft rock path with this album, and this song and Deeper Than The Night were my favorite tracks. I love the keyboard parts and how the song just picks up near the end. When I was a kid, I remembered sneaking this album from my sister every now and then! While more noted for her movie works, Olivia was mostly a singer, starting off with country music first and then going mainstream. She was very popular for a while, but sadly when she stepped out of the limelight, her work faded in time, yet she was one of best female vocalists of all time. In modern times, she is definitely an under-rated artist, but in her time, she was very big indeed. The music industry definitely suffered a great loss today.

[@guycollesides3977]

My “go to” album to play when I had a girl over my apartment back in the day. Worst part was having to time it just right to be able to get up and flip it over to the B side. Worked every time though. RIP Olivia, you helped create some great memories for me.

[@augustreju3176]

I agree

[@andreamorisano]

This was my first ONJ album. I was 9 ! I loved her so much RIP beautiful Olivia

[@alancofer651]

1978 was a great year! Wore this album out!

[@tinastanley4444]

Oh hell yeah.

[@soheilzeinali4219]

As a teenager in Iran at the end of 70:s, this album introduced me to a new untapped emotional world, in which I could connect music to the real world of falling in love with purpose and meaning. Each song in this album has a specific meaning for a particular person in my life and me, which I could never have in my absolute love. Still, I have her close to me in my imaginary life every moment. So I will love Olivia for allowing me to express myself through her songs.

[@Bellatrix28618]

Very hard song to sing along to without sounding like a cat in heat!! Loved this album and love Olivia!!

[@susanszabo7130]

Lol

[@looseme2000]

Lol

[@SnowMan68]

Her first album after the motion picture Grease and definitely brought that sassy edge with her to this album along with the usual charming Olivia Newton-John that we all know and love!!

[@ElisabethSonner]

may her R.I.P miss you Olivia

[@hfxmusicman]

I had this album in the 70's after I discovered the movie Grease and I fell in love with Olivia. Not only is she absolutely beautiful on the cover art but this is one of the few albums I have had that I like every song on it. I listened to this album so many times when I was a kid i almost wore it out. Still love it to this day.

[@bipolarbear27]

Groovin’ Gary now with his idol forever ❤️

[@tim2oolman]

"If you wanna know how talented Olivia was,listen to the end part of this song...few women in the music industry,past,and present could hit these kind of notes!!!" "Olivia is my all time favorite singer!" (Doubt she could still hit those high notes now at 73 years of age,,,)

[@DaviesSiwale]

It was Daddy s national anthem whenever comes from work straight play this track. Nowonder am used listening to this kind of stuff

[@jamoandb8470]

Groovin’ Gary brought me here. RIP ❤️

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Olivia with a little whistle in her voice. Love it. Brings me back. A few years before this I remember my music teacher saying Olivia had a 'freak' voice -- her range was freaky. She certainly proved it here.

[@desolationangel5136]

She was a soprano, like Agnetha from ABBA.

[@chrishansen9357]

I tried to do these last two minutes, like ONJ. Couldn't hit the high notes. lol

[@AustinAlexander777]

Thank you Trent Harris!

[@H.A..]

Riding shotgun in my uncle's 74 Mustang, empty streets, high noon on a hot summer day and this song shredding the maxed out speakers.

[@myopinion1845]

This album was her best. This song has kind of an eerie sound to it. Her voice covers so much range. She was easy to listen to and easy to look at.

[@alexioverdo5225]

One of my fave albums of all time.And another one of her multiple most gorgeous performances.Gr8t cover photoshot.LUV YOU LIVY!

[@alexioverdo5225]

Production is quite ahead of it's time for 1978.Some kinda vocoder effect or smth has been used in parts.Yet Olivia even used her voice as an instrument. Just exceptional.

[@DaviesSiwale]

Nothing else but my Dad's choice remembering you Dee

[@seventiesgirl6449]

RIP Olivia. This was my very first album.

[@heyss9576]

Totally my favorite Olivia Newton-John song.

[@luvyesmusic]

Yes, yes, yes, it's Olivia Newton-John my favorite singer\vocalist for forty-seven years since age seven; but let's not forget this was a brilliantly played on, mixed and produced album that combined with Olivia's talents put it in the stratusphere.

[@GPa141fe]

What a voice. There are few female singers who can grab you like Olivia Newton John. Totally Hot one of my favorite albums EVER!

[@petermariner6323]

Still Love it, best track on the album. Fairlight CMI FTW!

[@samr3353]

From the first second to the last second, it is so perfect.

[@alberto92271]

OMG! I LOVE this song. Amazing performance by Olivia. The entire "Totally Hot" album is fantastic.

[@Lnps123]

My uncle used to play when i was around 8/9 yrs old, the memories still remains.

[@mrmybentnickelworks]

I purchased my copy of this on cassette when it was released. Olivia definitely was deserving of every accolade she received in 1978. All over the radio between the soundtrack of "Grease" and this amazing release. Thanks for posting! Best wishes to all for a successful 2015!

[@dougskriver6216]

Rob Nelson I bought it on 8 track when it was released. She was the hottest commodity back then. She is still amazingly beautiful and still has an awesome voice.

[@ilanitninio]

she was my whole life back then... i was 11 years old :-)

[@mariabolivar5238]

+Rob Nelson I bought the record, are we showing our age. (Where's my cane, damn thing ran away again......)

[@bringyourownbrilliance4353]

+Maria Bolivar We may be showing our age, but, good taste never goes out of style.

[@mariabolivar5238]

Amen!

[@carolinemcneil]

I had this poster on my bedsit wall and played this over and over in 82’ absolutely brilliant album

[@sabrinanascimento5248]

I loved Olivia very much and her leather pants and high heels.

[@Julie_X]

Still a great song and vocal talent!

[@sabrinanascimento5248]

I haven’t heard this song for years. I dedicate this song to my Twin Georg. ❤️🎶😎😇🙏💡😊🤓😘

[@tonylau3112]

Still listening love her so muchy muchy my idol ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💕 💗 💓 ❤️

[@geo86970]

after GRESE...i run to buy this album...one of my favorites,

[@sfrom1542]

You are so very missed ONJ. You helped to make this world a better place.

[@makingagoodthingbetter5030]

One of the best showcases of her talents right here

[@NagasakiBladers]

RIP Groovin' Gary

[@faithannyoung2829]

Still own this LP! Sang these songs over and over again! Such a talent!

[@desolationangel5136]

Yep. Me too!

[@tinastanley4444]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA

[@luvyesmusici4886]

When you were back in middle school, living in Okinawa, Japan, with a very strong dollar versus the Yen, most Americans bought a kick-ass stereo system with great speakers. I remember exactly how this album sounded cranked up on that system. It was AWESOME!

[@ricardomoreira2128]

She is simply original and wonderful...

[@danielstone5196]

This album came out in 1978 not 1979 came out after Grease was released in 1978 thanks for sharing though..one of Olivia's best albums I remember getting totally hot 🔥 for Christmas ⛄ played it lots of time I was in my third year as a fan saw her in concert back in 1975 ..still love Olivia Newton John wish her the best with her health.

[@slares111]

RIP Grooving Gary

[@DColby19]

Love this Album! The end of this song is kind of crazy though!

[@girlwalkerII]

A unique sound and my friend as prank was driving with the car windows down blaring out loud this song! Now that was crazy too

[@mia795]

Love love love this song

[@nalukuimukubesa8153]

RIP Queen👑

[@stephenbarry5196]

Stephen. I agree. It is Olivia's best. It's fun to dance to in clubs. It was number one on the billboard dance charts!

[@kingemerald1]

that Bass is bitching !! Olivia rocked it !!

[@magalijardin330]

I listen to this album when I was 10 years old, and I remember today how it was really one of the best album about arrangements, orchestration.... I always listen it with a lot a pleasure for my ears, I really recommande it for everybody because of the melodies and because of the voice Olivia has, a pure moment of auditive earing !!!

[@traermusik3537]

Thank you Olivia, thanks for so many beautiful songs

[@Grawne]

This song is just amazing and what an end! It gives me goosebumps every time ❤

[@tim2oolman]

"Always seeing videos on You Tube of people listening to Olivia's songs for the first time...they should be saying, "Wow,who is that beautiful woman,with such a great voice?! Miss you Olivia, #1 Diva in my heart,always!"🎶👏♥️♥️♥️

[@IAMCAVE]

Most reactors couldn’t handle the rabbit hole this lady will take them down.

[@brookcrowley4254]

Wow, what a haunting epic! I hope Totally Hot can be re-released on halfspeed master- two 45 RPM vinyl discs- it's a frickin' classic!

[@wdohnal]

Que música, que solo e que voz!!! Uma das minhas preferidas ❤️

[@비정한세상]

I want to love you once again Couldn't you love me too Don't turn away from all that we've been thru Everyone changes, be my friend Haven't you got the time Help me I need you, throw me down a line Please don't keep me waiting I can't hold on much longer I can't love you any stronger I can't take this kind of pain Take me back in your arms once again Living on dreams from yesterday Waking and you're not here I wanna see your face I want you near Now is the moment we must live You can't run and hide I know you want me too Down deep inside

[@raythunder388]

The first time I heard that song was in 1983 it was the day year my love was born for you ❤ what a miracle you are my miracle you are my adorable Adrian and my father Allah also came to me as a great gift 🎁 to bless us both

[@connieliscio5593]

Awesome album, great voice and brings lots of wonderful memories with my aunt-epecially the the song, Don't keep me waiting.

[@michellefinnegan-nixonprom6503]

I became an Olivia Newton John impressionist because I listened, learned and practiced every song she did. I wore this album out among others. She taught me how to sing.....then I went on to other artist like Linda Ronstadt. Olivia will always be my favorite....thank you ONJ for inspiring me to become a singer....

[@gbrossi69]

Just love this song! I was 17 and I remember exactly where I saw and bought this L.P.

[@dianereed8597]

Beautiful Olivia Newton John ... such an AMAZING LADY!

[@lister-of-smeg4056]

one album that always takes me back to my innocent days..... a long time ago....

[@samloboparasenador8969]

Love it since kid, my kid told me that taylor sweet ia greater than Olivia ,the King Elvis ,beatles, queen, and madonna together , well Im gratefull to God i born in that time when they were the greater ones. And this Olivia screaming of aaaaaaaa heeeeee aaaaaa cant find a song like this one ever in a lifetime I Love it.

[@globalboy65]

Thank you for upload it . Olivia's finest work. with great songs of John Farrar.

[@Nashtucky]

I guarantee Farrar's production made it what it is.

[@benjaminworm3195]

A lovely album. Olivia at her best. But I'd say that about all her LP's. Still in love.

[@stephenbarry5196]

Stephen. I agree again. Also love. The album cover.. back then and still. She has a 6 or 5 octave range. Great voice!

[@mistymangham4410]

Crazy as it may seem I've often longed for her to do a duet with Kate Bush. I think they'd harmonize phenomenally. Both artists were so diverse they transcend music genre's 🎶.

[@stephenbarry9908]

wore this album out in 1978. i love the first song,but i love em all!

[@rachelchapman5322]

Totally hot she sounds, totally hot she is. And still a fine looking lady today. Sadly I've lost my vinyl copy of this but so glad I can still listen online.
