Singer and actress Olivia Newton-John, who died this Monday (8/8), marked pop music with several hits from her folk days, when she sang the cover of Bob Dylan, and the blast of “Grease” when he recorded duets with John Travolta.
He was also one of the biggest stars of the original MTV generation. The “Physical” video, which had a funny story with out-of-shape men in a gym, was one of the channel’s first hits in 1981 and even won the Grammy for Video of the Year.
In addition to popularizing academia’s fashion / visuals and showcasing a pioneering representation of LGBTQIA + culture, “Physical” revived the singer’s career by climbing the charts longer than any other song in the 1980s. a complete reinvention of the artist’s identity, abandoning the sugary ballads that Olivia was best known for and showing her with short hair, rocker attitude and synthesized new wave band (in the style of Pat Benatar and Sheena Easton).
The phase produced one hit after another, but it didn’t last long, only until her blonde hair grew back. Based on another film with John Travolta, “Twist of Fate” was the latest musical phenomenon. Released in 1983, the song was the most electronic of his career and recently resurfaced in episodes of the fourth season of “Stranger Things”.
