"If Not For You" is the debut studio album by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John, released in November 1971 by Festival Records. The album was released on the Pye International label in the UK as "Olivia Newton-John", with slightly different covers. As a covers album, "If Not For You" features mostly songs previously recorded from contemporary artists of 1960s and early 1970s. She made several performances to promote "If Not For You" and her follow-up album, "Olivia", including an international tour with British singer Cliff Richard. It was her first album released by Festival Records, which would release all her albums in Australia until its dissolution in 2005. It also has Newton-John's first works with her long-time musical partner, John Farrar.

Entertainment icon Olivia Newton-John's legendary career immortalised in 32 star-studded duets with her dear friends. Sonic gems spanning five decades of classic hits including 'I Honestly Love You' with Jim Brickman and 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder' with Paul Anka, as well as brand new fan favourites like 'Window in the Wall' featuring Olivia's daughter Chloe Lattanzi. Olivia's duet partners include Mariah Carey, Jon Secada, Barry Gibb, John Travolta, Marie Osmond, Dolly Parton and many more.

For her 34th studio album, Anne Murray recorded a set of duets with many of her favorite female singers, from Nelly Furtado to Sarah Brightman. There are a number of country duet partners here, such as Shania Twain, Emmylou Harris, and Martina McBride, but there are even more pop-oriented women singing with Murray, encompassing the likes of Celtic Woman and Celine Dion. This makes perfect sense, as Murray's always straddled the pop-country fence effortlessly. Her singing on Duets: Friends and Legends is just as effortless. Now in her fifth decade as an active recording artist, her voice hasn't lost a beat, sounding just as pure and clear as it did on 1970s "Snowbird" (done here with a surprisingly relaxed, easy vocal from Brightman, sounding for all the world like a young Olivia Newton-John). The majority of these songs are ones which have been sizeable hits for Murray in the past, most of which work nicely recast as duets, or at least showcases for harmony singing.

Xanadu [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Review by Doug Stone
Hollywood never learns. Hot on the heels of box-office failures Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Can't Stop the Music, comes the roller-skating Olivia Newton John in Xanadu. This soundtrack is fluff stuff to be sure, but some pearls float amongst the mire. Lead-off "Magic" remains a fine single. "Suddenly," a duet ONJ ekes out with British luminary Cliff Richard, seems better than most love themes. The sudden appearance of the Tubes almost saves the doomed swing/rock hybrid "Dancin," but the two styles should never meet. The second half glows from the Electric Light Orchestra, soaring at its commercial height, escaping this crippling fairy tale fairly untarnished with three more hit bits: "I'm Alive," "All Over the World," and the Olivia Neutron Bomb showcase title track. "Don't Walk Away" and "The Fall" stand as two of Jeff Lynne's finest, thus the flip nukes the front which should stay stuck to the theater floor. Listening to this soundtrack may beat watching the actual film, but know that if you didn't dig Xanadu when it came out, the platter gains nothing through time.

"Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits" is the 1st greatest hits album by Olivia Newton-John released in 1977 in the United States. In some other regions, Newton-John released a 1974 compilation, "Greatest Hits - First Impressions". This album was therefore marketed instead as "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" and featured a different track listing. The album collected all of Newton-John's American Top 40 singles released between 1971 and 1977. "Changes" was the only track not released as a single, but it was one of Newton-John's first self-written songs that she recorded. The album was Newton-John's first Platinum certification peaking #13 Pop and #7 Country. It ended up being certified double Platinum in the US and Platinum in the UK and Canada, and also Gold in Hong Kong. The LP sold 133,660 and the cassette 27,150 copies in Japan.

"Great Hits: First Impressions" is the 1st greatest hits album by Olivia Newton-John. It was released in 1974 by Festival Records/Interfusion. Compilation featuring 12 of her early '70s hits, including'If Not for You', 'Let Me Be There', 'I Honestly Love You' &'If You Love Me Let Me Know'.

Olivia Newton-John‘s second volume of Greatest Hits was originally issued in 1982. Newly remastered, it features hits such as ‘Physical’, ‘Xanadu’, ‘You’re The One That I Want’ and ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’.

Olivia Newton-John skillfully made the transition from popular country-pop singer to popular mainstream soft rock singer, becoming one of the most successful vocalists of the '70s in the process. The transition itself wasn't much of a stretch – her early-'70s hits "I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow" were country only in the loosest sense – yet the extent of her success in both fields was remarkable. As a country singer, her first five charting singles all went Top Ten in the U.S.; as a pop singer, she had no less than 15 Top Ten hits, including five number one singles, highlighted by "Physical," which spent ten weeks at number one in 1981 and 1982.

Two CDs. Deluxe Edition of Olivia Newton-John's historic debut studio album, If Not for You. Disc 1 features the original 1971 album, including "Me and Bobby McGee" (Kris Kristofferson). Disc 2 features 17 bonus tracks, including B-sides, alternate takes, and 2 previously unreleased recordings, "Round and Round," and "Game of Love." This record showcases her first work with longtime collaborator and hit songwriter/producer John Farrar.

This Soundtrack not only has a fantastic duet of John and Olivia, titled "Take A Chance" but it also has what I think to be one of the best singles from Journey titled "Ask The Lonely". David Foster adds his talents as does Chicago.
This Soundtrack Rated #26 in the US Nov.'83,
The single- Twist Of Fate b/w Take a chance placed #5 in the US Nov.'83 as well as #57 in the UK Oct. '83.
Livin' In Desperate Times placed #31 in the US Feb.'84.
Shakin' You was not released as a single but is an awesome song and a great addition to the soundtrack as well as to Olivia's Love Song's. [ olivianewtonjohn.us ~ Chart Info ~ Biography ~ Discography ~ Singles and more.. ]
John and Olivia duet ranks up there with their 1978 duets. Perfect for the collectors. A Must have for ALL Olivia Newton-John fans!
