Sitting here watching the movie "grease" again,this came out when I was just a wee tacker...sad to hear of Olivias passing.... we used to jokingly call her Olivia neutron bomb,but always with respect.
Judith Durahm leadsinger from the seekers also has left us.....
the angels have two more to join their choir both had angelic voices and will be missed .

Elvis? A music lover?
Over 130 quadraphonic tapes and records in CD 4 and SQ. Close to a 1,000 stereo records and tapes. Pioneer based system with 60 watts X 4 (Two SA 7700 amps) RMS per channel.
I'm able to record to (and from) tapes, cassettes and CDs.

I remember looking at your system in awe mate…you have an amazing system. I’m pretty much reduced to music on my iPhone, my iPad and music I’ve put onto thumb drives. We have a pretty reasonable collection of cassettes and CDs, and fortunately the ability to play them, but I’d love to be able to transfer not just the cassettes, but also the VCR tapes we have, to DVD.

…and far too young as well mate. As Gelan said, a haunting voice, but beautiful.
It seems that The Black Dog is reaping havoc amongst entertainers for some reason. As far as I can recall, and from what I’ve read, this wasn’t necessarily the case in the earlier days of the 20th Century, so what is it now…what’s causing the depression and anxiety? I’m thinking it has a lot to do with their lifestyle, life choices and maybe pressure from Managers and recording company executives to make more and more money.
Rest In Peace Sinead, you have earned your Eternal Rest.
