澳洲玉女巨星〔奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強〕──美國榜冠軍──鄉村流行經典──溫柔和煦的〔Have You Never Been Mellow〕

There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are
I was like you
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view
I was like you
Now I dont mean to make you frown
No, I just want you to slow down

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

Running around as you do with your head up in the clouds
I was like you
Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes
I was like you
Now youre not hard to understand
You need someone to take your hand

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?

１９７５年２月　２６歲的甜美澳洲玉女巨星奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強（Olivia Newton-John）發行專輯〔Have You Never Been Mellow〕

仍舊走鄉村／成人流行路線　John Farrar製作

在同名單曲的支撐下　登上美國榜后座　成為奧莉薇亞第二張冠軍專輯

拿到金唱片（當時尚未有白金）

並登上日本榜＃４　讓奧莉薇亞打入東瀛市場

首支單曲〔Have You Never Been Mellow〕於１月推出

這首鄉村流行歌曲在紐頓-強細緻嗓音的詮釋下　溫暖輕柔　有如一陣和煦的春風

奧莉薇亞的高人氣讓單曲登上美國流行榜后座　成為她連續第二首冠曲

銷售超過百萬　亦是其第四首金單曲

另外是紐頓-強第三首成人抒情榜冠軍　鄉村榜＃３

隔年提名葛萊美最佳流行女歌手

國際方面：加拿大冠軍　澳洲＃１０　紐西蘭＃１２

〔Have You Never Been Mellow〕也是奧莉薇亞首支擠進日本單曲榜的歌曲　拿到＃２６

對一名外語歌手算是不錯成績

只是專注鄉村樂也讓紐頓-強失去許多市場　

譬如英國與許多歐洲國家　根本沒打入排行榜

Anyway, 〔Have You Never Been Mellow〕仍是奧莉薇亞．紐頓-強事業的鄉村流行抒情經典之一
