70年代清新亮麗的甜姊兒，抒情、鄉村、流行界的常勝軍，1978年開始搖身一變成為成熟的女郎、流行動感的排行榜歌后，參加電影《火爆浪子》與約翰屈伏塔成為當時的新偶像，而《仙娜度的狂熱（xannadu）》一片則讓她再嚐成功的滋味。90年代歷經病變纏身，康復後投身環保、保育工作，音樂上回歸到寧靜、母愛的一面。她就是永遠的甜姐兒--olivia newton john。
Let Me Be There
Lyrics:John Rostill Music:John Rostill Arranger:Bruce Welch/John Farrar
Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander in your life
Surely you know
I always wanna be there
Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know
I always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on, here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is let me be there

Cara Dillon出生於1975年，來自一個愛爾蘭傳統音樂世家。 14歲的時候，Cara Dillon就贏得了全愛爾蘭傳統歌唱比賽冠軍。在開始她自己喜歡的事業之前，她和她的夥伴Sam Lakeman和一家唱片公司簽約想做流行歌手，可之後她們發現自己並不喜歡做流行音樂。於是她們出了一張淒美的民歌專集Cara Dillon/Rough Trade Records，出乎意料地贏得了廣泛好評，Cara Dillon有著極少數人才有的美妙嗓音。
Cara Dillon - Craigie Hill
It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing,
Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray,
The the thrushes they were warbling,
The violets they were charming
To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay.
She said, my dear don’t leave me all for another season,
Though fortune does be pleasing I ‘ll go along with you,
I ‘ll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation,
And to the bonny Bann banks forever I ‘ll bid adieu.
He said, my dear don’t grieve or yet annoy my patience,
You know I love you dearly the more I’m going away,
I’m going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation,
To comfort us hereafter all in Amerika y.
Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing,
T’will cause them for smile at our late going away,
We’ll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory,
We’ll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerika y.
If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying,
The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow you’d give o’er,
Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower,
Pleasure would surround you, you’d think on death no more.
Then fare you well, sweet Cragie Hills, where often times I’ve roved,
I never thought my childhood days I ‘d part you any more,
Now we’re sailing on the ocean for honour and promotion,
And the bonny boats are sailing, way down by Doorin shore.

Dolly Parton 1946年1月生於美國田納西州一個山中小村，是一個有12個孩子的窮苦家庭的第四個孩子。在這樣一種家庭環境下，使Dolly Parton的成長史幾乎成為一部有關一個鄉村女孩如何追求名聲與財富以逃脫命運苦海的經典教科書。Parton自幼便表現出極其優異的音樂天賦，5歲可以作曲，10歲開始在電視上表演，11歲錄製唱片，1964年自高中畢業後，她便下定決心要成為一名鄉村音樂的歌星。她獨自一人離開家鄉，前往納許維爾打天下，以作曲才華受到業內人士的重視，並提到Porter Wagoner的提拔而登上舞台，僅僅幾年，她的藝術光芒就蓋過了恩師。1971年初，Dolly Parton以一曲《Joshua》奪得第一個鄉村榜冠軍，從此逐步確立自己「鄉村歌壇第一才女」的地位與榮耀，因為她的暢銷曲，絕大多數都是由她自己創作的，並且質與量兼具，這使任何一個女性藝人都無法與她相提並論。整個歌唱生涯擁有超過五十張的暢銷專輯，二十二首鄉村排行冠軍歌曲，十張金唱片與白金唱片銷售紀錄、6座葛萊美獎，使這位傑出女性的名字幾乎成為鄉村樂最著名藝人的代名詞。而除了演唱事業的驕人成績外，Parton在音樂創作方面的作為同樣為眾人所稱道；此外，她還主演過多部電影，並曾擔任過數次大型頒獎典禮的主持人。Parton在演藝事業上的多元化發展證明了她少有人及的多才多藝
Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Islands in the stream
baby, when i met you there was peace unknown
i set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
i was soft inside, there was somethin going on
you do something to me that i cant explain
hold me closer and i feel no pain
every beat of my heart
we got somethin goin on
tender love is blind
it requires a dedication
all this love we feel
needs no conversation
we ride it together, ah-ah
makin love with each other, ah-ah
chorus:
islands in the stream
that is what we are
no one in-between
how can we be wrong
sail away with me to another world
and we rely on each other, ah-ah
from one lover to another, ah-ah
i cant live without you if the love was gone
everything is nothin if you got no one
and you did walk in tonight
slowly loosen sight of the real thing
but that wont happen to us and we got no doubt
too deep in love and we got no way out
and the message is clear
this could be the year for the real thing
no more will you cry
baby, i will hurt you never
we start and end as one, in love forever
we can ride it together, ah-ah
makin love with each other, ah-ah
repeat chorus
tag:
sail away
oh, come sail away with me
repeat chorus
fade:
repeat chorus
