Revisiting Olivia Newton-John's phenomenal 'Physcial' year in 1982

Pop singer Olivia Newton-John dominated the year of 1982 with her unparalleled success of 'Physical' - the single, the album, the home video, the ABC special, the hosting of SNL, the concert tour...

42 years later, and the album still holds up as one of the best pop albums in music history. Billboard's "All Time Hot 100 Singles" has 'Physical' locked in at #10 - it was the #1 single of 1982 (even though the single was released on September 12, 1981), and the #1 single of the decade.

It was a fun satirical music video. I recognized a couple of the male models they used. They hot blond guy in red Speedos appeared in a few gay porn magazines, the model name Jean-Robert Lecocq.

MCA should have released 'Carried Away' as the third single - not 'Landslide'.

I loved the video as a young gay boy, especially the ending.
