Okay, I'm not proud of it, but it is a good pump you up tune. It cursed her with the moniker "One Hit Wonder." She went to school with the wife, who recalls her as totally consumed with achieving singing stardom.
Her dancing skills are marginal but better than Elaine's.

Well, it wouldn't be a music thread without 'somebody' pushing up against the guidelines so I'll be 'that guy', mostly due to the 'favorite song' thing.
Have always liked Olivia Newton John, and she has quite a catalog of songs to choose from but my favorite two are covers.
I think 'Jolene' is a really good song so a duet with Dolly is a pick.
ONJ also covered Gary Wright - My Love Is Alive.
I saw Olivia in concert at the New Haven Coliseum way, way back when and she did this one, so this one also makes my list.
It stuck with me all these years so......
(Apologies for the quality, A/V stuff not so good back in those days)

I'll stand with ya for Laura. If I had thought of it I would have linked it.
Wasn't really much of a disco fan, but have always liked her voice and quite a lot of her songs.

The only reason I was a fan of this song, I remember a movie Irene Cara was in and they played this song a lot.

Yes, that number was virtually the anthem of the British during WWII and her rendition appears in I don't know how many movies about the war, American and British. A terrible war hung over young men and women as they dated when they could. The song spoke to them with great power.

David Crosby died 2 years ago. He gave us a lot of good music.

Legend had it that a jealous husband poisoned Robert Johnson's drink.
