History and Release. In March 1975 the single became Newton-John's second consecutive number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, although it stayed in the top chart position for just one week. The record also received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The song also topped the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart and — in her continued success as a crossover artist — peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
In the United States, it was Newton-John's fourth straight single to be certified gold for sales of one million copies. "Have You Never Been Mellow" also reached number one in Canada and peaked at number 10 in Australia and number 26 in Japan, but was not much of a success elsewhere in the world, failing to chart altogether in the United Kingdom.
Cover Versions.
The song is being performed as part of the 2007 Broadway musical Xanadu. Along with her later single Xanadu, a remixed version by "The Olivia Project" appears in the Dance Dance Revolution series of video games. The Dutch band Party Animals sampled the song in 1996 on their hit "Have You Ever Been Mellow". The song reached No. 1 on the Netherlands singles chart.

  • I first heard this on the radio while going on vacation to Disney World in Florida back in 1974.Still one of my ALL time favorites.Thumbs up if you are still listening to this today like me!!!

  • @ELkuken considering that you've probably grown up on the current crop of obnoxious singers whose main concern is vocal gymnastics in order to impress others as opposed to communicating the soulfulness and heart of an emotional tune.... then i can definitely understand your small-mindedness when it comes to this singer, and others. so you definitely have my sympathy for your shitty life and shitty attitude.

  • o clip é maravilhoso.

  • Notice her making eye contact with audience members, or at least it appears so. I'm guessing there are some guys who were in that audience, perhaps 60 years old now, who still from time to time remember the time Olivia looked right into their eyes.

  • As stated above, on this date in 1975 {Jan. 25th} 'Have You Ever Been Mellow' entered the Billboard's Top 100 chart, eventually it peaked at No. 1 {for 1 week} and spent a total of 16 weeks in the Top 100. This was Newton-John's 2nd straight No. 1 record; it followed 'I Honestly Love You'!!!

  • Her-- her voice is amazing!!! It captures the very essences of my soull. (T__T) i love this song. (also it's very catch) *humming tune to himself* Lolz.
