*disclaimer/guilty pleasure*

Post-Grease, Olivia's star rose and rose with a series of winning early 80s tracks (the endless #1 reign of "Physical" would be chief among them). Most songs have been forgotten as discardable pop of the era. Can't say I totally disagree but amongst the "Xanadu"s and "Magic"s that we all know so well, there are a couple other guilty pleasures that are worth a listen.

Still in her prime, this 1979 track is hard not to love.

ONJ - "A Little More Love" 

And this single was a worthy follow-up to "Physical."

ONJ - "Make A Move On Me" 

By 1985, a string of flop films had ONJ scrambling and her Soul Kiss album apparently put the nail in the coffin of her US sales (though Elton John would help resuscitate her - a bit - with "The Rumour" in 1988). Some online searching reveals that folks were a bit scandalized by the album's more sexual content and she never really found her footing again here. The album's intended third single, "Culture Shock," was actually never released in the US. An extremely awkward ode to polyamory - it is just plain b.a.d. See the video below and groan for yourself. Those lyrics!

ONJ - "Culture Shock" 

Explicit content or no, I can't help but love the album's title track.
