The first song I am posting here at Mouse Music & More is a cover of 'Part of Your World' by Grammy Winner Olivia Newton-John. Olivia is perhaps best known for her role as squeaky clean teen Sandy Olsen in the Box Office smash hit musical 'Grease' and her string of 28 Billboard top 40 singles in the USA alone, including the number one hits 'I Honestly Love You', 'Have You Never Been Mellow', 'You're the One That I Want', 'Magic' and the mega hit 'Physical'. Besides 'Grease' (1978) Olivia also starred in 'Xanadu' (1980), 'Two of A Kind'(1983) and 'It's My Party' (1996). Newton-John was primed for a comeback in 1992 when she compiled her third hits collection, Back To Basics - The Essential Collection 1971-1992 and planned her first tour since her Physical trek ten years earlier. Shortly after the album's release, Newton-John was diagnosed with breast cancer forcing her to cancel all publicity for the album including the tour. Olivia has since been an advocate for breast cancer research. Originally recorded in 1996 for the 'Music from the Park' album Olivia's version of 'Part of Your World' has since been placed on many other Walt Disney Records Compilations. Currently Olivia can be scene on the LOGO channel starring in the Del Shores sitcom 'Sordid Lives-the series' reprising her role of Bitsy Mae Harling from the hit film version of 2000 and she has teamed with fitness franchise Curves to distribute 1 million Liv-Aid breast self-examination aids kits during October 2008, Breast Cancer Awareness month. A kit Olivia herself helped create.Monday, September 15, 2008
