The group had two completely different line-ups - the first (a group of session singers) in 1981 and a male/female trio in 1982. The original lineup reformed in 2010.
In 1981, record producer Ken Gold came up with the idea to record a single made up of a medley of 60s songs. The medley trend was in full swing at this time, following the success of Starsound and their Stars on 45 singles. He put together a group of male/female session singers and released "Back to the 60s" under the title Tight Fit. The song became a hit in the Summer and reached No.4 in the UK Charts. A follow-up, "Back to the 60s Part 2" was released soon after and also hit the UK top 40.
Later in the year record producer Tim Friese-Greene recorded the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with another group of session singers. The song was released in early 1982 again under the title Tight Fit. The song gained instant attention and so a group was formed to front it. Dancer, singer and male model Steve Grant was teamed up with female singers Denise Gyngell and Julie Harris. The song reached No.1 in the UK for three weeks and the line-up were catapulted into sudden and unexpected stardom.
Satisfied that this line-up could actually sing in their own right, Friese-Greene produced their next single, "Fantasy Island" - a song which had been in the Dutch Eurovision Song Contest heats. The song, in a very similar vein to pop group ABBA, also became a success and reached No.5 in May.
The group then set about recording an album as well as rehearsing for their first tour. A third single was released in August. "Secret Heart" wasn't as big as a success as the previous two and stalled at No.41. The debut album was released soon after, but coincided with both Harris and Gyngell leaving the group. Both unhappy with their contract, they claimed that they weren't receiving any royalties from their hits and were being paid a paltry wage to tour the world as well as recording sessions, TV appearances and magazine interviews. Swiftly, two new female singers were employed to take their place and the group released another single, "I'm Undecided" - a song from the album, with new vocals. The song failed to make the UK Charts and this signalled the end of Tight Fit's brief pop stardom. In an interview, Harris stated that the public didn't take to the new line-up and had she and Gyngell been still with the group, it would have likely been a hit.
The following year, Tight Fit released one more single - a cover of Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With". Under the banner Steve Grant with Tight Fit, the song completely missed the chart and the group duly split-up.

I was just now watching this scene on television. I was born and raised in her hometown, Melbourne Australia. Later today is her state memorial service. It's going to be massive, and so poignant. Something that adds to this - on another level - is that my parents are only a handful of years younger than Olivia, born 7 & 8 years after her. They watched her on television in the 1960s as they were youngsters (Olivia debuted on Australian tv at only 14 or 15). They saw her career grow when they were young adults themselves. Olivia was from their era, which is now long ago. Now she's gone, along with others who my parents grew up admiring, watching and listening to. It is just all so sobering, but it helps me to remember to live in the now and cherish each day. Olivia left behind films and songs that will be seen and heard for generations, may she rest in peace.
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way.
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray.
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive.
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you.

Hearing that Olivia Newton-John has passed makes me want to sob. This Movie and this song...not forgetting the magic of Magic brings a smile and memories of being happy as a kid. Legendary movies and songs. Your music and legacy in fighting cancer dearest Olivia will be remembered. We miss you already.

Rest in Peace Queen

I was looking for a CD to play in my car today and found her CD which I hadn't played in ages, than I came home and found out she passed to Xanadu, that is some illuminati shit right there, like she was talking to me, freaky!
@realrocketscientist6262
As a skater and an ELO fan, this is the ONJ song I remember.
@nonnon7270
When I was in junior high school, I went to see this movie with my friends. I admired Olivia on the screen and danced.
I was young then.
But Olivia will forever live in my heart as a beautiful, intelligent woman.
Olivia, rest in peace
@cosmo588
My mum adored Olivia, being a 70s kid, so she made sure my brother and I appreciated her talent just as much. Rip :(
@neillflate7871
I am an adult male 77 years old. This song makes me cry. I went to see it with my wife and 2 daughters. My youngest especially just loved ONJ. We saw her perform at Forest Hills on Long Island. My baby girl just turned 50 on 2/4/24. My oldest was taken from us in a car crash on 11/13.87. Yes, it was a Friday. I will always have a place in my heart for Olivia Newton-John.
@clxmasisland6724
This is the REAL effort within this movie. Imagine the coordination, and costume design. Impressive.
@PADARM
I love absolutely everything about this movie. The 80s art-deco revival, the uplifting songs, the wonderful choreographies, and of course the very talented and beautiful Olivia N.J and the fantastic Gene Kelly. This movie is not Shakespeare and it was not intended to be. It is just a movie that brings so much joy.
@jamiefenn1799
And the superb Jeff Lynne & ELO!
