Until yesterday, I hadn't known that Olivia Newton-John released a cover of "Greensleeves" in 1976. And, I mean "Greensleeves"--not "What Child Is This?" set to the melody of "Greensleeves." She sings the original folk lyrics reverently and solemnly. If you've just heard her uptempo pop hits, listen to "Greensleeves," and hear how she handles a more downcast melody deftly.
