"Guess mine is not the first heart broken... "
When the world lost Olivia Newton-John on August 8th, 2022 there was a global outpouring of love and appreciation that took many by surprise - but the love was no surprise to her fans. From the moment she appeared on the scene her voice captured the hearts of audiences in all musical genres - from her early days as a country singer to her 1975 Grammy-winning pop crossover to her iconic turn on-screen in Grease to her image-changing performance of "Physical" (the biggest hit of the '80s). She did it all with a voice of hope and optimism but one with a plaintive cry lurking just below the surface. The world lost a bit of its stardust and magic with her passing but her music will live forever. 54 Below is proud to celebrate the legacy of Dame Olivia Newton-John. Produced by Scott Coulter.
