I got to hang around her many times as a youth  
bradshaw44 : 8/8/2022 4:18 pm : link
My best friends family was close with her. She would be at their house for dinner pretty often.

His father was a secret service agent, and at some point had done some work for her. Not sure if it was security or what. They ended up becoming really good friends.

Never understood how his mom was ok with it, but she would be over there for family dinners just hanging out like a regular person. I was 13 at the time and never really felt star struck because she was so down to earth it wasn't like you were around a star.

Very sad, RIP, ONJ.
My first crush afer I saw her in Grease

SO hot in Grease in black leather. RIP
Still baffling how she used to be married to Elton John  
FranknWeezer : 8/8/2022 5:41 pm : link
But RIP nonetheless. Enjoyed her Yacht Rock phase.
I don't think she was ever married to him, was she?

Still hot at 70+

LOL, no. Elton John plays for a different team and his name isn't really Elton John

I had the biggest crush on Sandy after watching 'Grease' for the first time.

'Tell me about it, stud.'
My first love

I had the most wicked crush on ONJ back pre-puberty days. She came across as sweet and gentle and her songs were truly heartfelt.

I’m really saddened by this news.

As a budding stud of 17 yrs old, I almost jumped out of my seat when she came on the screen in her black leather outfit. I didn't even mind the cigarette.

She was terrific and Elvis admired her

I’m performing a free show as Elvis along with an Elton John performance artist at The Rutherford NJ Park Concert series Thursday 8-11 at 8pm. This is not a plug. The show is free.

Elvis covered 3 of her songs. I’m going to perform “Hopelessly Devoted to You” in Elvis’ black leather suit as a tribute to ONJ.

She, Linda Ronstadt and Carly Simon lead the way as top female solo artists in the 70s.

Hi Ralph, I hope all is well.

I'd add Joni Mitchell to any list of 70's female solo artists
