Olivia,now 50 and daughter Chole,now in her early teens travel the world together and are more like the best of frieinds...not your typical mother/daughter relationship.Chloe takes up singing with her mum as mentor.taking her cue from blues legend Etta James! Liv does a remake of "I Honestly Love You"(backed up by urban contemporary artist Babyface) and finally does a concert tour one year later,called "One Woman's Live Journey." My youngest son and I saw her perform in 1999 at Polaris Ampetheater just north of Columbus,OH and a huge crowd gave her a standing ovation! Worth the wait! She also performed in Dayton,OH on September 13,2001 and donated the money to the American Red Cross to aid the victims and families of the September 11,2001 terrorist attack. |
