Olivia Newton-John: Hollywood Nights

In this lively variety show, Olivia takes viewers on an entertaining journey alongside famous guests like Andy Gibb, Elton John, Ted Knight, Gene Kelly and Toni Tennille. The evening features a mix of songs from Grease and her Totally Hot album, as well as renditions of hits by artists such as the Eagles, Bob Seger, and Buddy Holly. One memorable highlight sees Olivia perform a humorous parody with Gene Kelly, changing the lyrics of "Makin' Whoopee" to "Makin' Movies," which playfully explores Olivia's ambition to produce her own musical production. Broadcasted globally, this special achieved excellent ratings and continued the success of Olivia's previous US television specials on the same network. A fascinating side note about the event is that Tina Turner's appearance in Olivia's show led to a contract signing with Roger Davies, who would ultimately play a pivotal role in bringing Tina back into the spotlight.
