澳洲＊英國鄉村樂玉女［奧莉薇亞紐頓-強］──流行鄉村抒情曲──柔情似水的［Sam／山姆］

I heard that youre on your own now

So am I

Im living alone now

I was wrong

So were you

What will you do?

Are you glad to be free?

Are you feeling lost just like me?

Longing for company

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

Come around and talk awhile

I need your smile

You need a shoulder

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

And the door is open wide

Come on inside

Longing to see you

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

I find the days hard to face now

Empty rooms

Theres much too much space now

And the nights go so slow

Im sure you know

Wish I knew what to do

It would be so nice seeing you

And it might help you too

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

Come around and talk awhile

I need your smile

You need a shoulder

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

And the door is open wide

Come on inside

Longing to see you

Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am

１９７６年１０月　２８歲的澳洲／英國籍的鄉村樂玉女巨星奧莉薇亞紐頓-強（Olivia Newton-John）發行大碟［Don’t Stop Believin’］

這是她首張在納許維爾錄製的專輯　仍由John Farr製作

登上美國流行榜＃３０　澳洲＃８８　英國沒入榜　歐美反應不如預期

日本則延續其高人氣, 拿到＃３

前兩首單曲反應平凡, 只拿到美國單曲榜＃３３＆５０　澳洲＃９３（一首沒入榜）, 英國沒入榜

１９７７年　MCA公司推出第三主打［Sam／山姆］, 作者為Don Black, Hank Marvin, John Farrar

是首流行鄉村抒情曲, 在優美的鋼琴聲中, 奧莉薇亞娓娓輕述對心儀男子的期待

她細緻柔美的嗓音將這首情歌詮釋得柔情似水

此曲在美國反應不錯, 拿到單曲榜＃２０　並九度讓她在Easy Listening／成人抒情榜封后　鄉村榜＃４０

前故鄉英國反應最好　拿到＃６　成為１９７１年來她首支Top１０

澳洲不佳　＃５６

其它地區＃１６　加拿大＃２５

［Sam］也讓專輯銷售再度回升　最後在美國拿到金唱片（５０萬張＋）　加拿大也是金唱片認證（１０萬）

這是奧莉薇亞紐頓-強在鄉村樂玉女時期的抒情佳作之一
