I see Olivia and I find peace. She is the closest thing to an angel on earth I have ever seen in my life. God has truly blessed her. But I feel we have been blessed more for having someone like her on this earth.

[@DENIEL381]

WHY WOULD A GOD ALLOW HER AND OTHERS GET CANCER ??????DEPRESSING.

[@shyman99]

@@DENIEL381 - I look at it differently. God didn't allow her to die because so many people love her and find her so inspirational.

Olivia, my daughter was named after you. God bless you both!

[@lynmorris2917]

Olivia has a great sense of gratitude for life; I think that is why she is still with us. She is also a philosopher and teacher.

[@starrwilson6818]

So great to see you both. Olivia was my favorite growing up. Such a sweet soul and a great talent. Thanks Richard.💜

She's a down to earth good person!!! Don't find many celebrities like her nowadays!

Olivia! One of my favorite celebrities and one of the most beautiful Souls of all time! I'm so happy to see her looking so well. I've been concerned and praying for her Thank you Richard for having her on Love you both for your extraordinary talent and your beautiful Spirits! Blessings 😊❤

[@cary-benjaminportway7128]

Two classy, intelligent, talented people. God bless them!

[@mindfullymellow2323]

Another one of my all-time favorites. It’s not surprising Richard and Olivia are long-time friends. Love their respective music, but also admire the kind of people they are.

[@Junior-cp9se]

Wished they would have recorded more songs together in the 80's and 90's. I'm really surprised Olivia never made a song with Kenny Rogers. Hope Richard would inspired Olivia to return making another album. Olivia is at her best singing love songs.

[@Ili-ana]

I wish it had lasted more the conversation, but the internet connection was failing. Thanks Richard for giving us the chance to see and listen to Olivia. :)

[@PaulJGorzkowski]

Variety has the Actors on Actors series... This should be titled, Legends on Legends... I absolutely cherish those like you and Olivia Newton-John, who gave me the best years of my life in entertainment. All of you left huge "book markings" in those chapters that will last for eternity. Thank you!

Awwwww that’s beautiful I understand that about missing hugging your children .You guys are beautiful

WOW. She deserves her peace and quiet battling the cancer. She gave us so much of herself as an icon of movies and music. The O.N.J foundation. Bless you Olivia & Family I love Olivia. in the middle of this still keeping her aura about her. She is glowing for us all. That one classy lady.

[@transfunctionalmedia5172]

So many things to learn from her conversation with you, a small microcosm of Livvy’s true essence and contributions to us still here in 3D 🌏 Gracias, Richard, saludos a Daisy from Miami. Years ago, I crossed you guys in Malibu at Kristy’s on the way out with my dog Oliver (named after Liv) and I always regret not saying hi when you turned to admire him, guess we know maybe why 🙂. Miss her so much, but her wisdom still graces us via her real conversations with friends like you. Abrazos, hugs!

[@haileykate6420]

[@JAWs313]

Thats fascinating, ive always wondered what they did differently at the ONJ Wellness Centre cos I always thought id have to pack up and go there if I was unlucky enough to get cancer, but its interesting how natural that sort of stuff is to do when you get so sick, i was in hospital for years as a kid with chronic pain issues and keeping yourself busy doing arts and crafts, distractional therapy as ive always called it, was such a hugely important thing, it really saves you during those times. Thankfully it was something the children's hospital had done since at least the mid 80s....there was a room for the teenagers to hang out out in, could cook, paint, watch videos, play board or video games, had a punching bag and drum kit eventually, so you could take your anger out on something if you needed to or just for fun...you could borrow any of the stuff to take back to your room to do stuff if not well enough to hang out upstairs...eventually they had a renovation to a much bigger space sand 1 of the gius who ran it was an artist, he built this giant chess set, like 1 metre tall chess pieces for it...they had an outdoor half basketball court then aswell, overlooking the car park, which got a bit dangerous for awhile til they put up better netting...a fee cars nearly copped it, down there in the early days...! 🤣 it was such an amazing place with the best people running it...if we hadnt had that activity ce the, i would have gone crazy...pretty much 6yrs straight in hospital (a week or 2 every few months or so before having to go back in again, at the most) without anything to do other than a tv to stare at and the occasional walk when disconnected from IV poles...man...you would leave a place like that sicker than you went in if you were conscious that whole time. So thank you Olivia! The thing i hated about transferring to adult hospital was the lack of things to do...when not in agony for a change, you feel fine ans want to do something, and they just dont have that at any adult hospital ive been to anywhere...so I'm glad they do at the wellness centre, it makes THE biggest difference, as she sadly found out for herself again not so long ago, but yeah...bless her! Glad to see she is doing so well right now!

[@shawshankkid]

Great to see olivia Suddenly with cliff Richard a stunning song.

[@arunphillips6977]

Two of amongst my fav people/artists ever right here in this one video...how amazing!

[@BrodyMcCain]

I wrote a song inspired by a song Olivia sang. Interestingly I was into rock but something about her songs drew me in. I was into AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest but I'd put on the Olivia album and I'd play it 10 times. I dont talk about this much. My song touched millions of peoples lives. It ended up going to number 1 but without going into it I got shafted. I was jaded for a long time. But that's life. You cannot control everything, some things turn out in life how they do because maybe that's for the best or the way they needed to turn out. Maybe its fate. I'm a nobody. Never amounted to much. But my song did. I'll not reveal which song it was, but everyone knows it, and I know one of the artist who sang it it's been covered by more than 1 artist, and both went to number 1. I decided not to pursue a lawsuit. I really feel the artists image is important and the message of the song it needs to remain untainted by a lawsuit. So I just more or less let the artist remain untainted. I think it's better that way. It was a big song, known all over the world. I wrote it when I was 17 in 10 minutes. It was only inspired by a song Olivia sang. Olivia doesnt even know her song that she sang it inspired another song to be written and if she even knew which song she inspired she would be like "No Way! That's a gigantic song" and I'd be like "Yeah well it would never have existed if you didnt first sing your song which inspired me to write my song, and that's that." But I will go to my grave knowing this, if Olivia had never sang her certain song way back in the 70's I would never had written my song. And millions of people would never had been blessed by it. I think my song may have even saved some lives. Or gotten people through a tough time in their life. I've lived a life quite different than the one I probably would have lived or could have lived had I pursued a lawsuit. And who knows, if I were the one famous for it maybe I'd have chosen a different road, a different path, and might have died along the way going down that other road I'd have chosen, had I had all them big bucks, who knows I might not even be alive right now? No one knows. One time I had all 6 lotto numbers in the lottery but was 1 stinking minute from getting them into the computer for that nights drawing. There's a cut off time. You have to get your numbers into the clerks computer. All 6 showed that night. Oh it was difficult to keep going on. At least for a few weeks. I'm ok. I am. What's most important I've my health. Money cannot buy health. And $ from a big song can't save my soul either. How's $ do that? Save my soul? It's hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. It's too difficult to let go of $. I may not have much but I'm free. I dont hate anyone. I'm not a snobby well to do. Or a closed minded person. I've met over 100 celebrities and some are really nice. Some celebrities I've met even some celebrities wish they could have met, some have passed on. But other celebs some are snobby well to do's. They wouldn't give you the time of day. Olivia has always been one of my favorite artists. Of course. I love Richard Marx. They seem like really nice people. It's awesome that he does these videos.

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

What's the point of writing War and Peace here without telling us the name of the song?

[@juniors4118]

Friends For So Long. Its hard to believe they only recorded 1 song together. Richard Marx singing and song writing skills paired with Olivia's ethereal voice would have been a great combo for a full album. Too bad it never happened. Whatever happened to What About Me duet that never got released with Olivia in it? Kim Carnes did an amazing job, but I'm curious to hear Olivia's voice in such a beautiful song

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

I haven't seen Olivia Norton John in a long time. She looks great and, looks like she's doing well.

This is what separates Olivia from Madonna. Olivia has pure talent that allowed her to succeed in monumental ways without being overly aggressive. Madonna scratched and clawed her way to achieve her successes with much less talent.

[@PorcelainLeigh]

Don't know why anyone would compare Madonna to Olivia. One is an angel, one is the devil.

[@hairmetalexpert]

Madonna was very determined to achieve success and good on her for doing so

[@shyman99]

@@hairmetalexpert - Great for her to be determined to make up for the lack of natural talent. But Madonna is also a very polarizing figure with her extreme and outspoken views on politics.

[@CrystalTwinStar]

RICHARD AND OLIVIA! I didn't know you guys did a song together! How did this get by me?! Wait! I know! Because I wasn't meant to hear it until the very moment that I did. If ever there was a moment I was grateful that my phone could read my mind it was when I needed the perfect song to celebrate the very special and unique journey my Beloved and I have been on. Well, after hearing these lyrics I have to think maybe it's not so unique. Anyway, the Love is leveling out and feeling more grounded and I needed the perfect song. Looked at my phone and there it was... Two of my favorite singers of all time in a photograph that captured them in a playful embrace that my heart and soul yearns to feel from my Beloved and me being in each other's arms the same way we have been in each other's hearts for all eternity. When I looked closer and saw it was a song by the two of you, I knew it had to be the song I had asked for. When I heard the lyrics... ...oh my god! I just couldn't believe it! I JUST couldn't believe it. It's the most beautiful sound my Soul has ever heard, other than the voice of my Beloved, of course. Thank you both so very much!
