History and Release. In March 1975 the single became Newton-John's second consecutive number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, although it stayed in the top chart position for just one week. The record also received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The song also topped the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart and — in her continued success as a crossover artist — peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Country Singles chart.
In the United States, it was Newton-John's fourth straight single to be certified gold for sales of one million copies. "Have You Never Been Mellow" also reached number one in Canada and peaked at number 10 in Australia and number 26 in Japan, but was not much of a success elsewhere in the world, failing to chart altogether in the United Kingdom.
Cover Versions.
The song is being performed as part of the 2007 Broadway musical Xanadu. Along with her later single Xanadu, a remixed version by "The Olivia Project" appears in the Dance Dance Revolution series of video games. The Dutch band Party Animals sampled the song in 1996 on their hit "Have You Ever Been Mellow". The song reached No. 1 on the Netherlands singles chart.

    I'm heartbroken. R.I.P. Olivia Newton John. I haven't felt this sad since my father passed. Anyone my age or a bit older will understand. Olivia Newton John was one of a kind. Tonight I'll say a prayer for you, and thank god for blessing us all with your lovelyness and unforgettable talent.
  • She sounded like an angel. I hate she left us. This is my favorite live performance by her.
  • @erestube
    Many people know her for Physical or Grease, but this will always be Olivia for me. The great soundtrack of the 70s.
  • Isn't it great to see a female performer not resorting to sexual behaviour to sell a song. Olivia you are the best.

  • @TruthSurge
    she was a monster in the day. her voice was just the bomb. and my gosh... she was so beautiful! hah
  • I know the "Swifties" think their idol is talent, but Olivia is the definition of talent. She did it in music and on screen, and her music is timeless.

    The news gutted me and has all week. She was my first crush going back to being a 10 year old boy in 1974. I've never really stopped loving her and I think I speak for millions of guys my age. Such talent beauty and Grace. Heaven called an angel back home this week. I simply can't listen to watch this video without tearing up. RIP Olivia Newton John

    I'm a 58 year old man and it's impossible for me to listen and watch this song without crying. RIP Angel... Heaven's gain is our loss. You left us all with your wonderful music and presence
  • I'm still heart broken rest in heavenly peace Olivia. The most beautiful voice I've ever heard will always be remembered and never ever forgotten.

    I wish she and Karen Carpenter would have done a duet.   That would have been awesome. Two of the best female singers ever.
  • Olivia helped make the 70's a beautiful time whenever she appeared on tv or the radio.
  • This video is a real treasure. ONJ, the real deal, live, no lip-sync, pure vocal live and the way it should be. Listen for the little 'imperfections' which make it authentic and genuine as she works the vocal, the mic, the breath control, there's no hiding behind auto tuning, multi-tracked composite vocals, overdubs, etc.

    Olivia ascended to Xanadu 42 years after the movie’s release. May she rest in eternal love and peace. 🌹🙏🏼
