Here we have America’s sweetheart, pop-culture icon, and four-time Grammy award winner Olivia Newton-John of “Grease” roller skating on the cover of People Magazine in 1979. Roller skating has been around for decades. Its popularity may wax and wane like the moon, but it’s always around. The 1970s and 1980s are widely recognized as roller skating’s heyday. It seemed everyone was skating everywhere they went and major magazines of the time such as People and Tiger Beat often featured celebrities with roller skates strapped to their feet on the cover. There were also magazines specifically devoted to the social sport and even some that focused solely on roller derby.
