“A beautiful voice and a warm and loving friend. I will miss her so much. Condolences to her family and loved ones.
”Pop titan Carey recalled the “moment she will never, ever forget” when she got to perform Hopelessly Devoted To You alongside the Grease star in Melbourne, Australia.

I first fell in love with Olivia's voice when I was a little girl and heard "I Honestly Love You. " Songs like "Magic," "Suddenly" and "Have You Never Been Mellow" showcased her beautiful airy tone and signature sound. And THEN there was GREASE.
