Olivia Newton John often does more right than wrong in her songs, but I have to admit that this version of "Gimme Some Lovin'" is more forced than most renditions. Even John Belushi did a thousand times better than Olivia here.
I just recently watched this nearly 30-year old clip of Olivia as the cutest street hooker on the planet. I really needed to see more of this side of Olivia in the 80s. :oP~~ Mom probably flipped the channel when this TV special aired back in the 80s so I wouldn't go blind doing the things that little boys do when they see Olivia. ;)
Olivia is still the best! It's amazing all of the looks that she encompasses in just this video. When she's dressed as Marlene Dietrich she reminds me of Madonna...only this was before Madonna's time! Olivis is the original!!!!!
I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I like this version even better than the Spencer Davis Group's original! Olivia Newton John makes this rock classic her own! WOW
Olivia Newton-John, Linda Ronstadt, Dinna Summer, Cher, Debra Harry of Blondie, and Diana Ross were the original musical chameleons - changing musical styles and images, and usually succeeded. They explored female sexuality way before Madonna did. They paved the way for the 1980s women in rock, pop, dance and rap.
hey, i love all the 'looks!' it's the costume-change most! it seems a little familiar, could it be possible i remember it? did it air in the US or overseas?

Cher and Olivia are the true queens of pop, Madonna just copied what they did to achieve success, but they are the only originals.

This song sounds like it was arranged for the Brady Bunch Variety Show. It's the low point of a great career. She looks great though.

Big ditto to the suggestions this should have been on her Greatest Hits DVDs - and yeah, I dig it more than the Spencer Davis Group's original!
Olivia does both ballads & rock the full justice they deserve.
