Olivia Newton-John "If Not For You" 1971 [#1~3]

[hidekun1966]

It seems that the dance movement was unique to those time, maybe from late 60s to early 70s. I remember a girl in Cowsills was dancing in this manner too.

Olivia Newton John said in a couple of interviews she never liked this song,but had to keep up appearances for the fans who turned it into a massive first hit for her

This is lip synced studio recording and the audience should not have put up with it.

A beautiful woman, smile, voice, song, and dance, I love it.

[FaerieCrone]

She's always swinging that arm! lol I love ONJ though.

[sciencevsreligion01]

She's perfect .

I fell in love with her the first time I heard this in '71. I was 14. I adore her to this day.

Not sure about those dance steps / moves, but she is just so gorgeous here that she could get away with anything ! Love this song too ... a classic, and well sung.

@wmw2525 With this song, she became first known internationally, but then no more so naive; and the steps that Livvy danced here shall not be seen elsewhere are my most heartfelt admiration as wll as her soft voice really has been. Appreciate your comments.

@evenechad ... No worries mate ... thanks very much for uploading ! ... Wayne

@wmw2525 I've seen Tom Jones doing those dance moves even more vigorously, there are many videos on youtube

[evenechad]

@nazasmp Appreciated! Your observation seems to be quite right. The rhythm and steps perhaps used to be a trail of '60s style.

If not for you ... Olivia ...

when this song first came out i had my first puppy love crush when i was 16 yrs old. this song brings back so many memories for me for my first boyfrend. even to this day 40 years later we are still frends. nothing happened back then but now all of sudden there just may be a spark. now aint that something?

[evenechad]

@1silversprings Golden memories are passing over, yet new sprouts are coming out in the old stump? Appreciate your comments.

[1silversprings]

@evenechad thank you for your comments yes it was a good time. and sometimes when me and him talk we wonder what life would of been like. i did tell him he was always gona be my first puppy love crush and still holds that place in my heart. i just may even go back and see him. hes special, but to get together after 40 yrs? oh boy that really would be something. but you know what at the our age of being 56, to still feel that teen 16 yr old crush still makes the heart feel special.

Here to preserve the image of Livvy young and innocent, so to revive the soul young and innocent, now.
