There are two bands called Olive. A trip-hop group from the United Kingdom and a doom metal band from the Syria. There is also a french rock singer, born 1955 & died 2006.
1. Olive (United Kingdom) : Two of its members, producers Tim Kellett and Robin Taylor-Firth, had departed from their respective groups, Simply Red and Nightmares on Wax, prior to forming Olive with vocalist Ruth Ann Boyle, who Kellett had met while recording her vocals for live manipulation at a Durutti Column concert.
The group released their first single, “You’re Not Alone” in 1996. Although the song took a year for audiences in England to catch on to, it eventually made number one in 1997. Popularity in America and Australia was muted, with the track coming short of an American Top 40 position and being restricted to a small musical niche with Australians. “Outlaw” followed not long after, with similar responses, as well as their first album, Extra Virgin in 1996.
In 2000, their presciently-named second album Trickle was released. Taylor-Firth had left the group, bringing it down to a duo. While Trickle still displayed the distinctive Olive sound, the tunes were more dance-oriented. The best-known song on this album was a cover of the 10cc song “I’m Not in Love,” which was featured on the movie The Next Best Thing.
Since then, like many trip-hop bands, little has been heard of them. The band have stopped working together for the moment. Tim is focusing on songwriting for other artists so that he can spend more time with his family. Ruth Ann completed work on her first solo album “What About Us?” at the end of 2004.

Driving to work in a blizzard, I listened to You're Not Alone for the first time. I was the only car on the road and most of the highway was shut down, however I still felt euphoria as the snow pelted my windshield to this music.

i must get the rest of their music, i recently download your not alone cd2 and its so nostalgic for me. I Always remember as a child listening to this in the back seat of the car, it was night time and even as a child you could feel the euphoria from it! Such a great dance track from that time and its a pitty they dont make mainstream dance/chillout anymore!
