Have You Never Been Mellow was an album by Olivia Newton-John, released in 1975.
Both the title single and the album rose to the top of their respective U.S. charts (the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts and the Billboard 200 albums charts). The title song and its follow-up, "Please Mr. Please," were both top 10 on three Billboard charts: the Hot 100, Adult Contemporary, and Country.
Outside the United States, the album was released with the single "If You Love Me, Let Me Know," as the single was only released in the United States on the album of the same name.
Unlike in the U.S., Have You Never Been Mellow was not much of a success in many countries, and in many notable cases (such as the United Kingdom), the title single failed to chart. Such was not the case in Japan, where the title song broke the top 30 of the Oricon chart (a noteworthy achievement, given that retail singles by non-Japanese artists usually do not sell well in the Japanese market, though Western artists receive frequent radio airplay and enjoy healthy album sales).
Newton-John received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her work on the song "Have You Never Been Mellow," but lost to "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian.
