Musical Interlude: If Not For You (1971)

 Olivia Newton-John made her first impression on the American music charts in 1971 with her cover of Bob Dylan's "If Not For You";


"You" peaked at #25 on the Hot 100, but it was just the beginning, as the hits would start to flow.

Dedicated to Olivia, who has passed away at 73 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer.

A bit belatedly:

Were you aware that in 2020, Olivia Newton-John was named a Dame Commander of the British Empire in the Queen's Honours List?

So she was Dame Olivia Newton-John, DBE.

All the better to celebrate the lady.
