Remembering our OLIVIA on what would have been her 76th Birthday.
“Soul Kiss” is a song recorded by the English-born Australian singer Olivia Newton-John for her twelfth studio album, Soul Kiss (1985). Originally, “Soul Kiss” was a standby song for the album, but Olivia fell in love with the track, and it was released as the lead single from the album on 25 September 1985 by MCA Records. The song was produced by John Farrar and written by Mark Goldenberg.
“Soul Kiss” reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 23, 1985. It marked Olivia’s twenty-first top-twenty single in the US.
The music video for “Soul Kiss,” directed by David Mallet, showcased a different side of Olivia, featuring scenes of her on a red satin altar-like table and engaging in suggestive interactions. The video also included reenactments of classic kiss scenes from black and white films “Wuthering Heights” and “Casablanca.” It’s worth noting that Olivia was pregnant during filming, and her then-husband Matt Lattanzi played the male lead in the video.
