“EVERY TIME IT SNOWS” – 6 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS
This Olivia Newton-John/Jon Secada duet was actually co-written by Newton-John and Canadian composer Amy Shy.
It might seem a little sad, but I think it’s a really nice ballad that captures the feeling of loss just about everyone feels at this time of year.
I was never a big fan of Olivia Newton-John when she strung together Top-40 hits in the ’70s. And while “Grease” is not a movie I watch again, she’s the best part of it – there’s an enthusiasm in her performance that comes through. So this song would have to rank among the best I think she’s done.
Newton-John died a few years ago after multiple bouts of breast cancer. So I imagine this song is a bittersweet memory for her loved ones and her fans.
