Grease was one of the first movies I saw at a theater. She alwasy seemed like a genuinely nice and cheerful person, despite battling breast cancer for so long. Beautiful smile and voice. RIP.

RIP Olivia, always a favorite. Remember her in Grease and the song, Physical.

We all have a guilty pleasure! Mine, without a doubt, is "Xanadu." It was a box office bomb at the time. It is a cult classic now. However, regardless of movie receipts, I always loved the music in the film!!! Also, to see the late and great Gene Kelly, in his final movie role, he was just so immensely talented!!! Seeing those two together was just simply indelible...............

Olivia #1 song was "Physical" but when you watch the music video really shows that she was a Queer Ally. I was able to see her perform live once and loved it.

Very sad news. Been a fan since 74, and am partial to her early country/folk tunes. Such an ethereal voice, instantly calming. This was the first LP of hers that I bought after I first heard Let Me Be There on the radio.

One of the truly last worldwide superstars is gone. Beautiful and talented lady. You will be missed. RIP.

I was around 8 or 9 and had a crush on her, her early country/folk albums were so nice, and of course later on with Physical.
I saw Grease in the theater and I also enjoyed Xanadu too, she will definitely be missed.

Physical was the first album I ever bought. She had the sweetest, most lovely voice I had ever heard.
