There was a collective moment of sadness yesterday when we that Olivia Newton John had lost her long hard fought battle with cancer. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer back in 1992 and thanks to .chemo and radiation she lived cancer free for 2 decades before it returned.

She was best known for her role as Sandy in Grease

Before she starred in Grease she celebrated 9 #1 singles and in her lifetime won several music awards, 3 ACMs, 4 CMA’s including CMA Female Vocalist of the Year in 1974. She also won 4 Grammys including a Grammy for Best Country Female Vocal Performance for Let Me Be There

When her song Physical was released there was all sorts of controversy because many felt it was too racy for radio
