Product Description The big songs plus four new ones! But let's run down the hits first: Physical; You're the One That I Want; If You Love Me (Let Me Know); Have You Never Been Mellow; I Honestly Love You; Please Mr. Please; Magic; Hopelessly Devoted to You (with fellow '70s icon John Travolta), and more. .com She started her career as an inoffensive pop singer who sang of the benefits of getting "mellow" ("Have You Never Been Mellow"). Her transformation into a brazen aerobics sex-throb with "Physical" is as radical as what happens to her character, Sandra Dee, in the movie Grease. Three cuts from which ("Hopelessly Devoted to You," "You're the One That I Want," and "Summer Nights") are featured here. Add a few other hits, "A Little More Love" and "Magic" and you've got a full spectrum view of what she can do. From syrupy ballad queen to workout addict, she got it on the radio. --Rob O'Connor

This collection reminds one of Olivia’s great talent and why she is a remarkable human being.
Olivia brings a distinctive sound to her songs much like Karen Carpenter, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, or Dionne Warwick. The truly great singers have such distinctive voices that within seconds a person recognizes whose voice they are listening to. Too many of today’s singers sound alike and their songs consist of a few words simply repeated over and over. The true one of a kind singers are recognized worldwide and bring life to any song they sing. This collection has heart and soul.

missing "xanadu" and "make a move on me"
i liked the "newer" 1992 material, but the fact that "xanadu" and "make a move on me" were missing was fairly disappointing to me. so i went a bought "icon" which has everything i wanted in a OLN collection. but i am glad to have this one as well, because it has her "grease" songs and that 1992 stuff.olivia newton john was definitely iconic to me and so many other people. her voice is one of the most beautiful i've ever heard, she's one of the most beautiful women ever to walk the face of the earth,and and she always had such a great personality. go watch her talk to johnny carson on youtube when she performed "i honestly love you" and you'll see what i mean.

I Love Olivia Newton-John
What a great talent Olivia Newton-John is besides being a beautiful woman. This is a great CD because it has all of her old hits on it, including "Physical", "I Honestly Love You", "Hopelessly Devoted to You", "Magic", "Have You Never Been Mellow?" and "Please Mr. Please". I just love her voice. I've always been a big fan of hers. This CD never disappoints. Every song is great. I'm especially partial to "I Want to be Wanted", which I'd never heard her sing before I bought this CD. She's an exceptional talent with the voice of an angel. Every song has great arrangements and great vocals. This CD is A-one and definitely worth every penny.

Excellent greatest hits compilation
As well as Olivia's well-known hits, this compilation includes four new (at the time) tracks, which are all excellent. Unfortunately, the planned promotion for the new material was cancelled due to Olivia's diagnosis.

ENDE der KARRIERE
Zeitgleich mit dieser CD und dem Single-Minor-Hit "I Need Love" wurde Olivias Karriere durch ihre Erkrankung abrupt beendet - dieses Werk zeigt eine schöne, wenn auch nicht vollständige Palette ihres Schaffens - bis zu dieser CD habe ich das gesamte Werk von ONJ als LP & CD, und höre es immer wieder seit über 30 Jahren - das nennt man Langlebigkeit
