I heard this at my uncle's funeral a few month's back and it brought back memories of listening to AM radio in my youth.
TBF it did chart well in the US

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Love this song which was featured on The Righteous Gemstones. I'd never heard of them before

 

[DEVO]

Some Dutch Rock from the early 70's.

Earth & Fire - Memories



Really like Jerney Kaagman's vocals.

Plastic Cloud were a Canadian Psych band. Whole album stands up very well, despite its relative obscurity. I have a CD version, but I did see it was re-issued as an LP a couple of years back.

Since Olivia Newton-John sadly passed away, tended to have a look back of what she did in her youth which was well before my time.
I really only remembered hearing Physical and Twist of Fate on radio as a kid so it interesting to look back at her when she was just starting out.
Apparently she left school at 15 to work full time on tv here.

Bit more towards mid 70's found on youtube of Olivia Newton-John

This looks more like an interview from her home base in mid 70's.

There was an Australian group in the 70s sounded a lot like this

 

[footyfan1978]

Looks like an interview on set on the movie at the time of being made.
Interviewer saying she should be in a movie and interesting he got to interview whilst it was being made and before it became a cult classic.

Some stuff from later 70's of Olivia Newton-John in youtube rabbit hole I looked down.

I really like this song and less country than most of her stuff from mid 70's that Americans loved.


This seems like a video from some tv appearance in Europe where she explains her background after first song to interviewer.
I not really heard the first song ever on radio here so must have done better in USA and other nations than here.

I remember the first from when it came out. Showcases her voice nicely

Yeah, I like this more than other softer songs of hers for some reason and I think it that the vocals in song are required to be more versatile and I just like the music more too. You can tell the music is changing to something closer to the 80's sound that came later. This might have been first song that when I heard it on youtube it sounds like a song I heard back on radio a lot as a little kid,

I'm not a massive fan of ONJ, but I love that first one, it's one of my favourite of hers and from my favourite period of hers, the pop period from the late 70's and early 80's suited her beautiful, angelic voice.

This could be late 1979 or 1980, not sure but it magic that some of her best hits were written by John Farrar, husband of the woman Pat Carroll she sang and danced with as a teenager in late 60's. I think he was in some Aussie rock band of 60's so he knew how to write songs, The song kind of sums up their music writer and singer connection in the title of song.

This was 1980, from the musical fantasy film, Xanadu. The film was a dud but this was a # 1 hit.

And thanks for providing those clips - especially those early Melbourne clips before Olivia headed off to the U.K. While you were posting that, by sheer coincidence I was preparing a bit of a history feature on her which is now on the Country Music thread.

John Martyn from 'Inside Out' 1973

'Eibhli Ghail Chiuin Ni Chearbhail'​

 

[Spearman]

A very cool Motown era record!


The Avalanches from the 1960s!


Laurie Spiegel - One of the very earliest pure Electronic Artists. Late 1970s.

Old soul and surf

the electronic track reminds me an elective I took at uni in early 80s: basically messing around with an early Moog

 

[StonedCat]

An old favourite of mine

 

[Spearman]

'Hidden' is hard to define.

Here's one of my favorites. They're from the early 60s, small resurgence in the 80s in the Seattle area. I remember seeing them a few times around town in those days. Lots of reshuffling early on. Ultra garage surf punks

The Sonics

written by same black crooner who wrote Louie, Louie - Richard Berry

 

[Cactus_]

Both the HP Lovecraft albums are awesome IMO
