Olivia Newton John - IF NOT FOR YOU #14 (AUS) #25 (US) #7 (UK) May 1971. Album - IF NOT FOR YOU (Dec 1971) #14 (AUS) #158 (US) OLIVIA NEWTON - JOHN 1971 (UK) (US) (No chart position).
From the time I was only 8 years old, I would sing the hell out of her songs, sometimes I still do. :) Olivia was such a positive influence in my life, in so many ways. There will never be anyone else today, that could measure up to that.
@jazzfan19605 Yes, the chords are being played mechanically. Just compare with George Harrison's 1970's superb version (don't remember if was George or Eric Clapton playing guitar there).
i told someone a few days ago i dont like olivia newton john as a singer.... i eat my words. any chick that does this to a bob dylan song is alright in my book!
@hooeybrown John Farrar was her producer and also the guitar player on all these early records, he is quite under-rated in my opinion. I suspect her was into british invasion as well as Dylan and that crowd. If i'm not mistaken they were lovers, she young / he older, he may have had a lot more influence to her song selecftion than is spoken about.

I was 10 when this came out. I think she was my first ever crush, I'd look at her on 'Top of the Pops' in her leather catsuit and just melt !

Bad guitar playing. Killed the otherwise beautiful song.
