Let Me Be There (album)
''Let Me Be There'' is the third studio album by British-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John. It was originally released in November 1973 as ''Music Makes My Day'' in the United Kingdom, by Pye International Records, and shortly after in Australia as ''Let Me Be There'', which became its most recognisable name.
