Music - it's what first attracted me to Olivia. She has had
dozens of top-selling albums over the years and enjoyed enormous
success, starting in the Seventies, a decade when sole female
superstars were quite rare. She then built on that success in the early
Eighties, before taking some time out for motherhood. A planned tour of
1992 had to be called off, but after recovering from her illness she
came back with a rather special album Gaia and the late Nineties saw
another album "Back With A Heart" followed by tours of the United
States. After a slow down of releases in the 90s the 00s saw a chain of
releases including the critically acclaimed Indigo CD and the new age
sounding Grace and Gratitude.
Olivia had huge hits
like "Physical", "Xanadu", "Magic", "Twist of Fate" and of course the
Grease favorites "You're The One That I Want", "Summer Nights", and
"Hopelessly Devoted To You". Her career has spanned more than three
decades, and Only Olivia is pleased to bring you a comprehensive
showcase of Olivia's work. A list
of Olivia's songs is available which
also tells you which album the song appeared on, though of course some
of the popular songs are also on many compilation albums. Olivia has
also become a songwriter in her own right, beginning with the
excellent "Changes" in 1972 she now writes many of her own songs - see
our list here.
Olivia's major albums are detailed by the albums on which songs first appeared, and her singles releases were prolific in the 70s and early 80s. The record industry was nowhere near as homogeneous in the Seventies as it is now and there is a wide range of differences between 45 rpm single releases across the United States, Europe and Australia. Countless compilation albums have been issued, particularly in recent years and we have tried to keep up as best we can. She's also guested on several other artists' albums.
Collectibles draws from the series Collector's Corner in the fan club newsletter to bring you a view of some of the rarities that members have shared with us in the past. Our listings look back over 35 years of releases, and many of the items listed have been long deleted.
