Long Live Love review and nominated for four song awards
Olivia Newton-John Long Live Love (Interfusion L 35230) What better message to proclaim, and what an appealing voice to proclaim it!
Some of the songs border on the corny, such as Angel Eyes, but the tone generated by Olivia is one of giving synonymous with that overworked word, love.
Country Girl, Have Love will Travel, I Honestly Love You, God Only Knows and Home Ain’t Home Anymore, all suit her ingratiatingly light vocal style.
And the musicians refuse to buy into a competition with her performance, just providing pliant music and jaunty shifts of tempo to suit the varying moods.
Olivia nominated for four song awards
London- Australia’s Olivia Newton-John has been nominated for four awards by the American Country Music Association in Nashville - including Entertainer of the Year.
the 26 year old singer, who was born in Britain but raised in Australia from the age of five, has already won a Grammy, the recording industry’s equivalent of an Oscar, for the single Let Me Be (There).
Olivia said that she was “delighted, surprised and very excited” about the new nominations, which follow a current number 2 record in the US charts Honestly I Love You.
Olivia has been touring Britain and the US since 1966 and was last year Britain’s contestant in the Eurovision Song Contest with a song called Long Live Love.
She has plans to return to Australia on a visit with her parents and family in Melbourne and Newcastle some time next year.
Her career in show business had its beginning after leaving school in Melbourne when she teamed up with promising young singer Pat Carroll.
The girls’ two act was disbanded when Pat had to return to Australia.
