The Sweet Girl Next Door

Singer/actress Olivia Newton-John has passed at 73. This British sensation sold over 100 million records dominating the 1970s and 1980s.  She won 4 Grammy Awards and dominated pop and country music charts often with consecutive top songs. Her popularity soared in 1978 when she starred in the screen version of Grease, a blockbuster musical. Even my guilty pleasure, Xanadu, yielded her a number one song, Magic. She was the girl next door who teased a sexy side with the monster hit, Physical.  Despite much personal adversity, she maintained a sweetness that was beloved.
