Boy, did Olivia run into a bit of controversy for this one! Two radio stations censored her and one station in Utah even banned her! This is Olivia Newton-John we’re talking about! Olivia joked that compared to what’s on the radio today, this song sounds like a lullaby!
“Physical” was originally written for Rod Stewart, and then was offered to Tina Turner. When Olivia first heard it, she thought it was “too cheeky” but reluctantly recorded it…she had trepidations in the beginning, but once the song was out and received so much attention, she was glad she took the chance.
"Physical" went on to become an enormous success, spending an impressive 10 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This extended reign at the top was a record at the time and solidified the song's status as one of the biggest hits of the 1980s.
Olivia was the queen of “Physical,” and we love spreading some 80s fun in The Olivia Show, our exciting and heartfelt tribute to Olivia Newton-John. Hope you enjoy!
