ABOUT THE ALBUM:

  • Original Release Date: November 13, 2012
  • Released by: Universal Music

Almost 35 years after their chart-topping duet from the movie Grease — “You're the One That I Want” — John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have combined their iconic voices for This Christmas. Travolta and Newton-John donated the artist proceeds from the album equally to their respective charities, the Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

This Christmas was produced by veteran keyboardist/arranger/orchestrator Randy Waldman (who has also played piano and conducted for Streisand for years).

The idea for the collection came from Travolta after receiving a Christmastime text from his old friend Olivia. "From the moment we decided to do this, magic happened," says Travolta. "Everyone we contacted agreed to do it."

"It just fell into place," added Newton-John. "With our busy schedules, I don't know how we got it done. John and I have always connected. That's never gone away. When we're together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another. We've been through some amazing experiences together."
