I only met ONJ one time, but it is etched in my memory. I was a limo driver and drove Rod & Alana Stewart to Olivia's Christmas Party at her Malibu home in 1985. About an hour after we arrived, it began to rain. I was the only limo driver there and was standing outside in the rain with an umbrella, when ONJ suddenly came strolling out on her covered patio. She saw me, and motioned for me to come inside. She told me to sit in the kitchen, and proceeded to fix me a plate of food. She was married to Matt Lattanzi at the time, and they both checked on me from time to time to make sure I was comfortable. I was such a fan, and this kind gesture made me even more so. I met hundreds of celebs over the years but ONJ was my favorite to meet. She was a beautiful lady, an amazing artist and I miss her dearly. RIP, lovely and down-to-earth muse!

My wife and I met at our local skating rink in 1979 and married the following year, in 1980. The 80's and musical performers such as Olivia Newton John and E.L.O. carried our souls throughout our early years, and we didn't realize while it was happening - but the times and music helped to make them some of the best years of our lives. Sing, smile, love, be kind to others, and take the time to reach back to listen to the music of your youth. It can transport you... (Edited, 4 months later... R.I.P. Olivia -- 26 September 1948 - 8 August 2022)

That's a really sweet story! 💘✨

[@saulm58]

You have described it so well. I believe that is one of the reasons why the death of Olivia Newton-John, just five days ago, hurts so badly. We had her music and videos to transport ourselves and relive all those beautiful years, but even more, she herself was also like a living connection to all those cherished moments of our youth. Now that we suddenly realize that she won't be among us anymore, it feels like we now have a huge void in our souls. But I want to keep the positive vibe of your comment. Olivia will continue accompanying us, in our memories, with her music, her sweet voice, and beautiful smile. She will always be there. It's just that now her physical departure still hurts... 💔

[@mattthomas1978]

Rest in peace Olivia. Thank you for everything. All the music and movies and again EVERYTHING!!!!! You should have a clear trip to heaven. You have always been an angel and now you are one for sure.

[@Rodimus75]

I don't know WHAT IT IS about this song that is so majestic, and completely enthralling to me. I mean to say that there are the obvious factors involved: like my life-long love of this movie and its soundtrack; as well as my childhood crush on Olivia Newton-John (I was 5-years-old in August 1980) and her almost angelic vocal performance; or the pledge of a love that would outlast the ages in the lyrics. Watching this video clip from the movie has opened my eyes to something that I never realized was there before. The sounds of the wind blowing in the background as the song is played add an extra layer of an almost haunting melancholy to the song. I wish that it was there in the background of the audio recording!

Reminds me of my freshman college roommate . Our musical tastes were polar opposites; I was Barry Manilow, he was Ted Nugent. Our album collections were night and day….except for one : we both owned the XANADU soundtrack. I was listening to it one day when he came in and said, ‘what is this crap?’ I was like, “dude, you own it, its from XANADU”. He made a face and sneered like, , “oh, I never listen to THAT side!” My opinion, this could have been a single release but guessing they had already mined that LP. I miss her so much.
