“A Little More Love” (1978) by Olivia Newton-John

Totes hot. My favorite of hers.

It was my 1st album! My parents bought it for me while Christmas Shopping in late November 1978. The album had just been released a few days earlier. There was a huge display for the album at the mall record store. I told my dad - I want it! I fell in love with Olivia in Grease a few months earlier. I listened to the vinyl over and over a million times. I was a solid ON-J fan (for life) at 6 yrs old.

Love the intro lyrics…

Night is dragging her feet

I wait alone in the heat

She was beautiful and talented

Magic!

One of her best.

Her voice seems so pure and sincere in this one.

I knooooow, know that you’ll have your waaay, until you have to go home, no’s a word I can’t say

It's fantastic. One of my favorites of hers.

You know how a song can sometimes evoke a specific memory, almost like you're reliving a moment in time? Whenever I hear this song, I'm 13-years old, in my bedroom on a rainy day, this song playing on my little tabletop radio, me lying on my bed reading a magazine.

[quote] Anyone else love this song?

It gets me nowhere to tell you no

R9 yes. We know. This is mentioned on numerous music threads. Probably by you.

Miss R9 can mention her memory as often as she likes.

I can't believe it's been a year since she died.

Loved this song. “Sam” was another great song of hers that is under appreciated.

I like you, R13. Come around, and talk.....a while

Who hurt you, R11?

John Farrar's pop songwriting is often strikingly original. I love the unusual intervals in "A Little More Love."

Loved that, the entire album, and its front and back covers’ artwork.

Has DL never been mellow?

Olivia clearly made boys gay in 1978.

Good taste, OP.

This is one song of hers that I forget about.

It’s a good one. Underplayed.

I like it

It’s hilarious played sped up. Especially the high note.

Live version with the hair tosses.

"At Thomas' Record Bar, Olivia looks for the latest recording by her favourite singer, Ray Charles."

This was the in between album that was meant to toughen up her image a bit between her softer earlier albums and "Grease".

I thought it came out after Grease.

Her cover of Gimme Some Lovin is incomparable!

R26 you're right....oopsy. I always thought it was the other way around.

Jesus christ she was beautiful

This was a good song with a rock vibe.

tell me about it....stud

This came out after Grease r25. This was released after to mature her image a bit, especially after Grease. She always had a very pure and clean image.

R32 yes, I was wrong, apologies.

Loved the whole album. It was one of the rare ones, before you could click ahead, that you didn't have to lift the needle to skip a song. You could play it all through. After A Little More Love, my favorites were Talk to Me and Never Enough. I'm surprised they didn't release Talk to Me as a single. I remember reading the reviews It generally got good reviews but most critics singled out Talk to Me as the stand out track. So that's why I'm surprised it wasn't a single.

Yes, her “Totally Hot” album was great.

You don't need no psychiatry come on baby you can talk to me, cuddle up on the couch with me, we can talk all night for free........"

R34 I love “Talk to me” written by Olivia.

DEEPER than the night!

Universal is reissuing on red neon vinyl and CD for the album’s 45 anniversary this November. You can preorder now at most major retailers.

I always liked this performance of her singing it live. She was having fun and being flirty with the cameras.

Here is "Sam" Live.

I was in bad shape when this song came out; I'd left my lover of a decade, moved across the country, and started out on my own. I missed him deeply and this song allowed me to remember him (and to weep a little). It still connects me to that time.
