Olivia, John Farnham and Anthony Warlow performed live at the Australian President's Cup (golf tournament). George Bush, Snr and his wife Barabra were there and George made a point of thanking the three performers. They sang live, a wonderful acoustic version of Advance Australia Fair. It was obviously an extremely sunny day as all three wore sunglasses throughout their short performance.
Australian TV show Hey Hey It's Saturday showed some rehearsal footage of You've Lost That Loving Feeling to promote the then upcoming Main Event Tour Olivia did with John Farnham and Anthony Warlow.
Olivia was guest on the Tonight Show to sing live I Honestly Love You and for a very short interview.
Dressed in black, Olivia delivered a beautiful rendition of the song. Jay thought so too as over the end credits he could be heard telling Olivia "That was terrific, they went nuts." He really wanted his Back with a Heart CD signing too and instructed Olivia to sign it on the CD itself (not on the inlay as she was about too).
About being voted one of 50s most beautiful People, Jay asked if any of them know whereabouts in the top 50 they come. Olivia replied that she didn't know but that she was close to 50 years old! As the photographer for People arrived to take her photo for the magazine Olivia was apparently clearing up the mess from her dog being sick.
Olivia was guest on daytime show The View. She was first interviewed solo about Grease re-release and her new album Back With A Heart.
Olivia was familiar with The View format; she told the delighted women presenters that she watched regularly and that it was just like having girlfriends around for a chat. One of the presenters returned the compliment as she was a big fan of Grease. She'd had even dressed up as Sandy 2 for Halloween (see pic). She urged Olivia to sign her Grease album.
Olivia joined in with Question of the Day: If you could be the lead singer in any band which would you choose? Olivia chose to be the fifth Beatle.
In the second half of the show Nancy Chuda joined Olivia to talk about CHEC. Nancy had a wonderful quote about chemicals in the products we buy "If you can't pronounce the words in the ingredients, why buy it?"
They talked about trying to prove that chemicals in the environment cause cancers. Olivia insightfully added that they want unconditional proof otherwise: "imagine what it would mean to the big companies, in America - the country of suing".
Olivia is joined by country singer Trace Adkins to present the Top Vocal Duo/Group Award to Brooks & Dunn.
Trace mentions his Top New Male Vocalist from the previous year, hoping it will lead him to having a similar career to Olivia's, as she won the Top New Female Vocalist award in 1973.
We can see Olivia is wearing the same velvet red dress that can be seen on the 1998 I honestly love you video and the Main Event DVD from that same year.
Olivia filmed this simple yet beautful video in 1998 (May ?) in Burbank, CA to promote her MCA Nashville Back with a Heart album.
Precious Love wasn't released as a single in the US, yet the video aired mostly on CMT. The video has been added to Olivia's VEVO channel in late 2009 in digital quality.
