Olivia Newton-John was one of the faces of the 70s you can’t forget. She was well known for her blonde hair, angelic voice also her groovy sense of fashion. Despite her beauty, shade was thrown at her – even from “Rolling Stone” magazine but she didn’t care.
If she thought her music was great that’s what truly mattered. “I wouldn’t sing anything I hated. I have to like it, or I wouldn’t sing it” was what Olivia believed in. In August 2022, Olivia sadly passed away after a long battle.
Elvis Loved Spending Time in the Dojo
"The King" loved rock and roll so much that when we think of this music genre, his name never fails to pop up. Besides spending all that time on stage, Elvis loved to kick it up in his dōjō practicing Karate.
