Olivia duets with Kelly Lang on How Do You Mend A Broken Heart made famous by the Bee Gees. The two voices blend well together and Kelly, also the album's producer, brings out the purity of Olivia's voice perfectly. In a press interview Kelly had this to say:
Throwback is full of her [Kelly's] takes on several songs made famous originally by male artists, ranging from Kenny Rogers to Elvis Presley. She said that covering a song like the Davis classic or Morning Desire definitely gave it a somewhat different feel coming from a female vocalist.
Feb 22 2016, Billboard interviewI've always liked men's songs, and when you take one and record it, they usually take on more of a sensual format.
Longtime friend (and duet partner on the album) Olivia Newton-John told her the album had that impact on her. She said it made her blush listening to it,
Lang says with a laugh.
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart was later released on Olivia's 2023 duets album Just The Two of Us"
