A lighthearted song that also celebrates personal agency for women in the realm of courtship, that worldwide hit added new layers to the star’s clean-cut image. Complete with a winking music video, “Physical” starts slow and somewhat coy before launching into a concise earworm chorus that celebrates the joy found in touching (“Let me hear your body talk”). That risk paid off handsomely, with the title track topping the US chart for 10 straight weeks. Haloed in a bright white sweatband on the album cover, Newton-John fully eschews her earlier focus on country music, instead showcasing the playful versatility of her voice over synth-laced dance pop and soft rock.

Olivia Newton-John’s musical career took a major turn in 1981.
