John Travolta&Oliva Newton-John-Grease (The Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture (Remastered) (1978/2023)[24/96]

Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture is the original motion picture soundtrack for the 1978 film Grease. It was originally released by RSO Records and subsequently re-issued by Polydor Records between 1984 and 1991. It has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, also ranking amongst the biggest selling soundtrack albums of all time. The song "You're the One That I Want" was a US and UK No. 1 for stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Besides performers John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, the album also featured songs by rock and roll revival group Sha Na Na as well as the hit song "Grease", a tune written by Barry Gibb (of the Bee Gees) and sung by Frankie Valli (of The Four Seasons) that was an additional US number one.

The summer of 1978 was a great time to be an Olivia fan. You're the One That I Want topped the charts around the globe - number 1 in the US and British charts (in Britain for a massive nine weeks and was the best selling single of the year). Summer Nights was almost as successful followed by Olivia's solo single Hopelessly Devoted To You. John Travolta also had solo hits with Sandy and Greased Lightnin' and Frankie Valli had a big hit with the theme tune of the film. It seemed like the whole world was going Grease mad with Olivia and John being mobbed by some 3,000 fans whilst attending the London premiere of Grease - one of the most frightening times in Olivia's career. The album featuring photos from the movie was also a best seller and the movie became one of the most successful musicals ever made.

Grease premiered in New York on the 13th June 1978. A common search query seems to be how old was Olivia when she made Grease. Filming started in June 1977, Olivia was born on the 26th September 1948 so she was 28 when movie shooting started and 29 when the movie premiered. John Travolta was 23 when shooting started

So how did Olivia get involved in it all? Olivia was spotted by the producer, Allan Carr, at a party at Helen Reddy's house. He describes how he first noticed her: "At first she was her usual self, almost a waxen figure, but then all of a sudden she started telling a joke and she became instantly animated, screwing up that perfect face in some cute but hilarious contortions."
