Thank you for the very happy photo of two of the famous Czech "Dream Team" Silvia Saint and Lea De Mae in 2000/2001 off the coast of Brazil, I think, at the time of the making of the movies "Dangerous Things"/"Dangerous Things 2".
Glen Miller - Orchestra Leader "At Last" is a song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Sun Valley Serenade (1941).
At last my love has come along My lonely days are over and life is like a song
At last the skies above are blue My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill I've never known
You smiled and then the spell was cast And here we are in Heaven For you are mine at last
Here is a web movie clip from "Sun Valley Serenade" starting with part of "Moonlight Serenade" (Glen Miller's theme song) followed by the ballad "I Know Why (And So Do You)" also composed by Mack Gordon & Harry Warren.
Why do robins sing in December, Long before the springtime is due? And even though it's snowing, violets are growing, I know why and so do you.
Why do breezes sigh every evening, Whispering your name as they do? And why have I the feeling, stars are on my ceiling? I know why and so do you
When you smile at me, I hear gypsy violins When you dance with me I'm in heaven when the music begins
I can see the sun when it's raining Hiding every cloud from my view And why do I see rainbows, when you're in my arms? I know why and so do you!
I took these photos outside the Dominion Theatre in Tottenham Court Road yesterday (9th August 2022) where the show "GREASE" is playing.
The Dominion Theatre is a Grade II Listed Art Deco building in the heart of London dating from 1928 near to the top end of Oxford Street.
The London premiere of Charlie Chaplin's famous silent film "City Lights" (which made Albert Einstein cry) took place there in February 1931 with Mr Chaplin himself attending.
A huge golden statue of the late Freddie Mercury (who had died in 1991) of "Queen" with his right arm raised was erected outside the theatre at the time the show "We Will Rock You" played there for about 12 years in 2002 - 2014.
"We Will Rock You"
Below is a copy from the Web of the tribute by John Travolta on 8th August 2022:
In the article and tribute from Sir Cliff Richard, there is a link to the song performed by Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard called "SUDDENLY" (composed by John Farrar). This song was featured in the film "XANADU" (1980) although Cliff does not actually appear in the film himself but he is heard singing with Olivia in a roller-skating scene.
The film also includes the haunting song "MAGIC" (composed by John Farrar) and various musical numbers composed by Jeff Lynne of ELO (Electric Light Orchestra).
Beatle John Lennon named "MAGIC" and "All Over the World" by ELO as two recent songs he liked in a Newsweek interview in September 1980, shortly before his murder in the USA.
"MAGIC" was number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in 1980. The song was Olivia Newton-John's 25th American chart hit and her 10th of 12 records which went Gold or higher.
Come take my hand, you should know me I've always been in your mind You know I will be kind I'll be guiding you
Building your dream has to start now There's no other road to take You won't make a mistake I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic Nothing can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you
From where I stand, you are home free The planets align so rare There's promise in the air, and I'm guiding you Through every turn I'll be near you I'll come anytime you call I'll catch you when you fall I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic Nothing can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you
You have to believe we are magic Nothing can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you
Cliff Richard had a regular show on BBC Television in the 1970s and he introduced Olivia Newton-John to the British public 8 years before "Grease",
It seems that virtually all of the black & white videotapes of Cliff Richard's shows have since been lost at the BBC.
Below are some photos of Olivia/Cliff from December 1970 and after in the 70s.
Here is an unusual dramatic song performed by Olivia Newton-John against the background of Venice.
The song was composed by Paul Gordon, Tom Keane & David Foster and the video produced by David Foster.
.....the "Shaking You" ballad, filmed in Venice it tells the tale of a woman involved with a married man with 2 children........we are left with a lingering image of Olivia, the scorned lover.
