Song 5: You’re the one that I want, Grease (Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta)
Monday 8th of August 2022
So sadly often when I add a new song to the post Covid Island Discs section it is because a famous singer has passed away. As I write this post I have just heard that Olivia Newton-John has lost her long battle with breast cancer and has passed away at the age of 73. Although I could have cited one of her tunes while I was originally compiling the song list, I never did. So it only seems appropriate that tonight I should add the Grease classic “You’re the one that I want” which probably reflected Olivia at her musical peak. RIP Olivia 😥
