Singer Olivia Newton-John, who soared to the top of the world's pop music charts in the 1970s and 1980s with such tunes as "I Honestly Love You" and "Physical" and starred in the hit movie musical "Grease," died on Monday at age 73 at her home in southern California.
The entertainer began performing as a child and became a global superstar after moving to the United States. She was blond, blue-eyed and brimming with wholesomeness when she had her first hit in 1971 with "If Not for You" - a Bob Dylan song that also had been recorded by George Harrison. Critics also did not always care for Newton-John's work, often finding her frothy and overly commercial. The New York Times once described her voice as "nearly colorless."But the criticism did not hurt Newton-John's sales as she crossed over from the country charts to pop and cemented her acclaim by co-starring with John Travolta in "Grease," the 1978 film that would become one of the most popular musicals in Hollywood history.
The 1978 film wowed critics and audiences, and its soundtrack generated a string of hits, including the title song, Newton-John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Summer Nights," and her bouncy duet with Travolta, "You're the One That I Want." In 1981 Newton-John scored her biggest hit single, "Physical." The song's accompanying video featured her in work-out clothes and a headband, which fueled a fashion trend. Its sex-infused lyrics eroded her good-girl image and led some radio stations to ban it.

One of my favorite singers, I Love her voice and she's beautiful too ❤️💐
Our body is subjected to birth, diseases, old age and death. It is one of the stringent law of nature.
Grew up listening to Telephone and Let's Get Physical. There can be no other voice like her. They die but they live in people's hearts.
