Capacity Crowd Hears Olivia, concert at Asheville, April 13 1975
Australian singer Olivia Newton-John drew a capacity crowd of 7,648 in her first appearance here Sunday night at the Asheville Civic Center.

Cotton To Perform With Newton-John
Folk singer Gene Cotton will appear as a special guest of Olivia Newton-John in her concert in the Asheville Civic Center at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Cotton, a song writer and singer in the tradition of John Denver and Don McLean, has appeared previously in Asheville at a one-man concert at the University of North Carolina at Asheville.
The ABC recording artist has one song in the top 30, “Sunshine Roses,” and a new release, “Damn It All,” which has been picked by music trade magazines as a top hit. The Nashville based singer has four albums to his credit.
The Sunday concert has been a sell-out for several weeks.
