Donny Osmond pays tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John

Donny and Oliva perform a fun rendition of "You're the One That I Want":

"Donny Osmond paid tribute this week to Olivia Newton-John, the Grammy Award–winning singer who passed away Monday at age 73. Newton-John had been battling breast cancer on and off since the 1990s.

Newton John was a guest on an episode of The Donny and Marie show on September 22, 1978, appearing in sketches and singing “You’re the One That I Want” from Grease as a duet with Donny.

Osmond posted a clip of that duet on social media this week, along with this tribute: “Singing with Olivia was one of the greatest moments for me during The Donny and Marie Show. I can only imagine how wonderful heaven is, now that this beautiful angel is there. My dear friend, Olivia, I Love You. I Honestly Love You.”

The last two sentences of the tribute are a reference to Newton-John’s 1974 number-one hit single “I Honestly Love You.”

Lot's of 70's music memories there.  

In 1974 or 75 I was a teenager driving to work at a fast food joint, and a girl from my ward was in the car with me (she worked at the same place) and of course we had the radio on.  And my car at the time had no air conditioning, and we were in Phoenix, Arizona, so we had the windows down.  The song I Honestly Love You came on the radio, and the girl riding in the car with me said she really liked the song, but didn't know the name of it.  So I said, "I Honestly Love You".  And she said, "What?"  And I said (louder with my head turned toward her), "I HONESTLY LOVE YOU".   Then she blushed, and so did I.   And I faced forward driving with my mouth shut, and neither one of us said a word to each other the rest of the way to work.

Oh, my! I wasn't aware she has passed away, on the 8th of August. R.I.P. Olivia!

I watched an interview, not sure if it was her last, but she mentioned how cannabis helped her throughout the years with her cancer and also how her husband, who started her on it, is trying to come up with the perfect strands to cure cancer.
