I wanted everyone to see Olivia Newton-John singing one of her first BIG hits on the Andy Williams TV show in 1974. This video has received over 33,000 likes! People with romantic hearts and memories have written the most beautiful comments on this video. This song lept into the spotlight of popular song hits during the era of hippie music where mellow slow ballads by solo singers shot up the record charts alongside of song hits by heavy rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Who. Olivia's wholesome personality and raw talent complimented her Australian accent and drop-dead gorgeous face. Add that to her soothing, lilting singing voice and you can easily see the winning formula for one of the world's most popular superstars. Men and women of all ages love her, regardless of their personal preferences for other music styles. What a TRUE talent and SUPERSTAR she is! She sings from her heart, looks straight into your eyes and then embraces your soul with her true confession of love for only you. And how about that ENTHUSIASTIC, LIVE AUDIENCE applause and cheers when she ends the song? This video illustrates the genuine response of Olivia's LIVE studio audiences. This is a rare occurrence in modern filming of performers and audiences. ALL TV shows these days cheat by overdubbing audience applause and cheers three times more than the original audience applause reaction. (i.e., “Sweetening the videotape“). Faked overdubs for TV shows begin with a high-energy comedian coming out on stage before the show starts. This motivational expert cheerleads the crowd into a noisy frenzy. They goad the audience to respond on cue with wild crowd reactions of applause and cheering and whistling. They record various “takes“ for several minutes in order to orchestrate and capture, the loudest, over-the-top applause reactions possible. All alleged “LIVE“ TV sitcoms, specials and talk shows in this millennia are unabashed whores when it comes to excessive OVER-USE of canned rather, “pre-recorded sweetening“ tracks. But with Olivia Newton-John on this tape, the audience reaction was not artificial. There is nothing better than a TRUE SINGER and talent like her. She pulls your heartstrings and this evokes loud applause and sincere emotional reactions from viewers. If we only had more quality stars with positive attributes and mega-talent like Olivia Newton-John!
