Magic - The Very Best of Olivia Newton-John

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
It's hard to have a more milquetoast image than Olivia Newton-John. Even when she was decked out in stretch pants and stiletto heels at the end of Grease, you never mistook her for a wild girl. Proudly carrying the torch once held high by Karen Carpenter, Newton-John embodied the safer and, yes, blander side of the '70s and early '80s. But just like Carpenter went on to be rehabilitated as a pop singer, Newton-John's career deserves a second look--and this compilation is a good way to start. Even if the singer's precise touch was audible as early as 1973 (on the countryish "Let Me Be There"), she reached her peak five years later with Grease and the torchy "Hopelessly Devoted to You." "Physical" may be the best-known episode of the singer's leg-warmer years, but the one to cherish forever remains "Xanadu." On it, Newton-John basically fronted Electric Light Orchestra and the result is one of the most underrated songs of the past 25 years. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

This cd is Magic........2007-05-14

This cd is Magic. Loved Oliva's music. Still love it. There maybe too many songs from the movie Grease, but they were alot of fun.

Truly beautiful!!.......2007-05-14

I love this cd. I listen to it almost every day if not every other day. "SAM" & "Suddenly" are great love songs.

SIMPLEMENTE OLIVIA..........2007-05-06

Yo amo la voz de esta mujer... cada cancion me trae increibles recuerdos de mi ninez y adolescencia; en este disco esta cada exito, cada melodia que la hizo famosa y que nos gusto a todos en su tiempo, desde sus primeras baladas como PLEASE MR. PLEASE, I HONESTLY LOVE YOU, SAM, sus primeros pasos en la mitica "grease" con HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU y YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT y SUMMER NIGHTS y su gran pelicula XANADU (con la Electric Light Orchestra), MAGIC y SUDDENLY; infaltables sus candentes HEART ATTACK, A LITTLE MORE LOVE y PHISICAL... infinitamente fabuloso disco que ningun fan de Olivia se debe perder!!

Her voice is still as beatiful as ever. As a teenager in school I had a big crush on her and listening to this CD brought back memories of 25 years ago. I guess in a way I still do.
