Olivia Newton-John - Slow Down Jackson

[@meredithg227]

Back in 1975 , my parents were so excited to receive this record album. My cousin , Karen wrote this song. I was 6 years old and still remember that day.

[@bbaraider]

Wasn't there was another collaborator that wrote this as well? One of my B-Side faves..

[@meredithg227]

@@bbaraider yes. I believe her name was Michelle.

[@wendym1234]

Wow, just came to this song on KZbin while reading Don’t Stop Believin’. She said Michael Brourman and Karen Gottlieb wrote it. That’s neat.

[@contraryMV]

I got this album and Don't Stop Believin' christmas around that same time. I don't think I've been as happy since. 😉

RIP Angel Voice You're missed more than ever we know 💔

Named my wonderful boy Jackson, because of this song. He was a rescue dog that had a very rough start in life. Love truly left him at my door. He found his forever home and was able to slow down and run no more. I had Jackson for 17 beautiful years. He left me 9 years ago today. I listen to this song every year on this day every year and think of all the wonderful memories we had together. Always in my heart. Love truly left you at my door. ♥️🐾

I grew up in the 70s idolizing ONJ her music is timeless,classic

[@RRRIBEYE]

I had such a crush on Olivia back then!! I wrote to her fanmail adress - TWICE- And I got two 5 x7s saying, "to Mike, love Olivia XXOXX.. OMG! I still have those pics and Im 60 now!!!

[@makingagoodthingbetter5030]

Love this song...... Going through all of my lesser known favorites. The more familiar bring extra tears. RIP to my idol...

[@bbaraider]

This is actually a great album. It went platinum. RIP Olivia! The world misses you 💔😪

[@ivorharry6372]

This is the kind of music a young man in love listens to on a rainy day, thinking about his girl.

[@jvelvick8400]

One of my favorites from Olivia! A beautiful lady with an angelic voice 😇 Thanks for some of the nicest, nostaglic songs of my childhood Rest well in Heaven and know you will be missed by many

[@TylerMusicBoi]

I just discovered this album since I found it at a record shop in the West Village in NYC. Not only am I sad I didn’t get a chance to hear it while she was still alive, but I wish my parents got me this when they bought me records as a kid and noticed my fascination for albums. I had ONJ, but it was the Physical single and the Grease soundtrack, not this record. I would’ve loved it growing up. Rest in Paradise to one beautiful angel.

[@SerenityYes]

My mum had this album. I loved it... eventually it "migrated" into my collection.

[@nzvrk]

I love this song my cousin and sister did a dance i made a dance and memorized it and showed it to everyone that was there on Thanksgiving.😍 I love you Olivia You are my favorite singer and band.😘

[@gordonpingenot1731]

Another great song from this album that really showcases Olivia's unique and beautiful voice.

[@Long-HairedLuigi]

Gordon Pingenot I kept wonder for a lifetime how to use words to describe Olivia's voice? I could never find the words. Then one day on here in response to one of her songs, someone posted the perfect description: "Her voice is pure crystal." ;)

[@gordonpingenot1731]

I love the fact that she was a friend of my all time favorite singer, Karen Carpenter.

[@kac327]

Gordon Pingenot awesome taste :)

[@RideHanna]

@@Long-HairedLuigi It was Dionne Warwick that described Olivia's voice as crystal. One great singer to another!

[@SarahWestFriendlyXanaduQueen]

One of my favorite songs from that Olivia Newton-John album

[@susankline7148]

So glad to have found this! Was always one of my favorites!!!!

[@charaballobaballoba3710]

the backing singers are : Vicki Brown, Pat Farrar and Clare Torry.

[@kristenguider5247]

One of my favorites!

[@tammidennison1305]

This was one of my very first albums I had of Olivia's, I pray that I still had it, I loved that one. I've been trying to find a CD of clearly love now for the longest time and am having difficulty getting anywhere with it. I really want to find that CD. That was one of my favorites. Along with Have you never been mellow.

J ai touts ses albums 😢 qu elle dommage qu elle est partie 😢🙏🌻🏵️💮💮🌸🌷🌺🌺🥀🥀🥀🌹💐💐🍂🍁🌾🌾🌾🌿🌿🍃☘️☘️🌾🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌼

[@frankringhofer1254]

According to the album liner notes, Jackson was her puppy born October 1974. He was still around for her wedding ten years later.

[@SerenityYes]

If memory serves, there was a photo of her and Jackson in the album?

[@floogelhornzzz4770]

So how come there are no songwriting credits? Did she write the song to her dog herself, or did someone else write it and it coincidentally had her puppy's name in it?

[@RRRIBEYE]

I believe he was a Rat Terrier

[@RRRIBEYE]

She wrote it for her Rat Terrier

[@CathyD516]

Jackson was am Irish setter, not a rat terrier.

[@danielstone5196]

I received this as a Christmas gift back bin 1975

[@iwolfyou9972]

i guess i am the only 14 year old who prefers to listen to her songs.

[@havensmm9308]

You have great taste! And if you happen to enjoy reactors, there is a reactor called Empress Reacts who loves ONJ and has a huge ONJ reaction playlist.

[@stephenbarry5196]

Stephen. Sweet song. .about her dog jackson

[@bbaraider]

You beat me to saying this. Infact there is a picture of Jackson on this album, on the center fold. He was a dauchhound. I still have the album. RIP Olivia😪💔 You are so missed.

[@SylviaNickel]

I was 13, confronted with this great song,- for the first time. Thank you < 3 You are allways and your allways will be ...

This was about her beloved Irish setter, Jackson.

[@floogelhornzzz4770]

Who's Jackson? And why'd they pick that of all names?

[@havensmm9308]

Jackson was ONJ's dog. A fan gave her the puppy after a concert in Jackson, Mississippi around 1975. So that is how he got his name. The songwriters wrote the song for her (about her dog).

[@Webtrekker1]

@@havensmm9308 I met Jackson II during her tour during late 2000's. Jackson was there to greet the fans after the show. :)

[@cristiansantibanez9599]

😘🇨🇱

[@peterbc4x4x4x4]

Sam was her dog and Jackson was her horse, I think.
