So, THAT'S the story behind Olivia Newton-John's having come to record "I Honestly Love You." You've solved the mystery for me! It happened this way - Jeff Barry wrote the song with Peter Allen over the course of a few sessions, then they made a little piano demo with Peter singing. The plan was for Peter to record the song, and Jeff and he put together the demo so that Jeff could bring in an arranger. Then, as Jeff went on to tell Sean Egan, author of THE GUYS WHO WROTE 'EM, "somebody" brought the song to Olivia - "didn't know what [Jeff's] plans were." Who woulda thunk it? BTW - love the pic! I think I'd seen it on your website. :) Thanks for a cool anecdote. Laura Artie … how ya doin’?
