Making A Good Thing Better review
OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN
Making A Good Thing Better. EMI EMC 3192. Producer: John Farrar.
Following her recent single success with Sam, there is renewed UK interest in Miss Newton John, and this album must benefit accordingly. The whole set is dominated by the beautiful Don’t Cry For Me Argentina which, perhaps surprisingly to those people who doubt the singer’s vocal talents, equals the performance of Julie Covington. She also revives Johnny Cash’s Ring Of Fire, and adds compositions by the Alessi Brothers, Pete Wingfield and Randy Edelman.
Good pop and m-o-r listening. (Ed - mor= middle of the road)
