Free Music Notes for Grease (Original 1978 Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Always a Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
I've had this album since 1997, back when my school's chorus class was singing some selections from the musical. I wanted to get an idea as to how the songs went so I bought the tape and played it non-stop all spring.
Being someone who likes the old doo-wop sound, this was an instant hit with me. I not only learned the gist of the songs for my chorus concert but also found the melodies stuck in my head during class, at home, even on the baseball diamond.
Since then I've always associated the album with the spring and usually bring my old tape out every year for at least a few weeks every spring. The songs never grow old and have the same freshness to them year after year. It brings back memories not only of the spring of 1997, but also now that I've gone through high school myself the feelings that I used to have back in those magical four years of my life. It's like a fun trip down memory lane--and with good vocals to boot.
While some may prefer the original versions of some of the actual 1950s standards to the remakes on here (Blue Moon, for example), these are well done and are in authentic 1950s style. Franki Valli is a bonus.
Grease (Original 1978 Motion Picture Soundtrack) Poster
The movie is a 1970s take on 1950s musicals, providing all the kitsch anyone could hope for. It's John Travolta as Danny Zuko as Olivia Newton-John's pompadoured main squeeze, and the kids go crazy. Fresh from his astronomical success with Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gee Barry Gibb penned the title track (sung by Frankie Valli). Sha Na Na is over-represented, and actress Stockard Channing struts her, um, versatility, singing a couple of tracks. This has become a touchstone in American culture, and so isn't likely to improve our standing in the world's eyes. Maybe the point is that it's supposed to sound amateurish, but it does manage to eke out some fun, most notably on the hit "You're the One That I Want." --Scott Wilson20th anniversary edition of the hit soundtrack featuring thedisc with an enhanced CD-ROM component & all 24 of the original audio tracks, including the hits 'Grease', 'Summer Nights', 'Greased Lightnin'', 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' & 'You're The One That I Want'. 1998 Polydor reissue of the original 1978 album.
