RETRO CHARTS
Le 14 avril 1979, le nouveau et second 45t d'Olivia Newton-John extrait de l'album TOTALLY HOT fait son entrée dans le HOT100 américain !
DEEPER THAN THE NIGHT rentre à la 79ième place du classement des meilleures ventes de 45t aux USA !
Taking a cue from the chart-topping success of "You're the One That I Want", Newton-John's next solo project, Totally Hot (1978), would blend more rock-based ingredients into the mix.
Tom Snow would be a crucial force behind Totally Hot. Earlier in the decade, he'd released a pair of solo albums on Capitol Records before becoming a staff writer for Richard Perry's publishing company, co-writing hits for artists like Diana Ross ("Gettin' Ready for Love") and Leo Sayer ("Thunder in My Heart"). The industry's top producers took notice. "Tom is a killer songwriter," says John Farrar. "He's a great keyboard player and much more of a professional songwriter than I ever was. He's very accomplished, musically."
"Deeper Than the Night" marked Tom Snow's first hit recording by Olivia Newton-John. "I wrote 'Deeper Than the Night' with Johnny Vastano," he says. "We made a nice little demo of it. It might have been Kathleen Perry who sent it over to John Farrar. He loved the song for Olivia. In fact, that was the kind of song they were trying to write and collect for her. They were trying to spice up her image and get her out of the country girl wearing the flowery dress into the hot chick in the leather." [laughs]
Featuring Snow on piano, "Deeper Than the Night" seduced listeners with a dusky, uptempo groove. The song climbed to number eleven during the spring of 1979, a solid follow-up to Newton-John's Top Five smash, "A Little More Love". Snow continues, "John and I hit it off and started writing songs together. I went over to his house. I sat in his writing room. He was in the middle of writing [sings] "You have to believe we are magic'. He had the demo going with him singing it. My jaw dropped. I said, 'My God, this guy's amazing at his craft!'" Of course, that demo was "Magic", a tune Farrar wrote for Newton-John's next Hollywood vehicle, the roller disco fantasy Xanadu.
