1981 - 40 Years Ago

1981 Olivia Newton-John released her eleventh album and features the song that would go on to become the song of the decade. The title track was #1 for 10 weeks at the time tying Debby Boone's 1977 single (and song of the 70s decade) "You Light Up My Life." (#22 Dance #28 R&B.) The song and music video were very controversial due to the implied sexual content, being innovative and provocative for the time.

Follow-up "Make a Move on Me" made #5. A third single "Landslide" only made #52.

And here's the huge hit.
