Olivia Newton-John. Physical-The Album. It's 36 years old. Let's give it some love!

That's true. I also think if Olivia had done more dance and pop in her later years, like Dame Donna doing a SAW album, she might have more of a connection to Popjusticers.

I actually liked her updated version of Physical a few years ago.

1988's The Rumour was the last 'pop' album she made. Although it wasn't really commercial in terms of having songs that would make good singles. After her cancer battle in 1992, her music changed altogether. Even though doing a SAW album in the late 80s/early 90s would have been the obvious thing, I really wish she had. Or the Pet Shop Boys taking her under their wing could have been fruitful. They could have made some great pop records with Olivia.

I enjoyed her covers album but I can't think of many of her albums where she had a major bop since The Rumour.

An album with the Pet Shop Boys could have been amazing. They understood Liza and I think they would have understood Olivia. They write great songs for women.

She'd have been great with PSB. They were a little limited with Liza who clearly didn't want to stray far from her comfort zone. I think Olivia would have been up for some proper bops.

SAW and Olivia with her perfect pop voice, would have been to quote one of her classic hits, Magic!

As I said once before, even Diana herself couldn't pull that do off! Poor Olivia's iconic blonde long locks.

It looked a lot worse when she hadn't bothered to tart it up a bit.

As this 1981 picture with Karen Carpenter will testify!
