Today, we remember Dame Olivia Newton-John. The charming British-born Aussie recording artist died from breast cancer on Monday at age 73. Apart from being the beloved star of cult classic films like “Xanadu” and fan-favorite “Grease”, she was also the queen of the movie soundtrack album. Genre hopping from love ballads, to country, to pop and rock, she did it all - and did it well.
