Olivia Newton-John
Olivia Newton-John (1948–2022) was a British-Australian singer and actress who bridged countrypolitan balladry and glossy pop in the mid-1970s before her role as Sandy in the film Grease (1978) and the aerobics-disco anthem 'Physical' (1981) made her one of the era's biggest-selling pop acts. 'Physical' spent ten weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later ranked Billboard's top song of the entire 1980s.
