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.

I love musicals, so this might make me biased, but I like this soundtrack. Although I would have to say that after the first four or five songs, they seem to repeat. That said, I had listened to the soundtrack before seeing the movie, and once I saw it the rest of the songs made more sense, but they all did have a bit of the same elements in them. I prefer Broadway music, not pop culture musicals. But still I good album.Free Music Review: So much 50s fun in one CD!!!

I never, ever liked soundtracks. Because I usually never liked enough songs from movies!!! GREASE, though, is an exception! I bought it because I am part of the ensemble in a local production.
There are so many gems! We have the fun ones: Summer Nights, Greased Lightning, Born to Hand Jive, We Go Together. These are famous! But, there's also one gem from the Boradway version: Rock N' Roll PArty Queen, sung by Louis St. Louis.
There are also pretty, soulful songs: Sandy, There are Worse Things I Could Do. John Travolta and Stockard Channing add so much emotion to their "too cool for school" characters. I think many women could relate to Stockard's ballard- it isn't just for the "trashy and no good" girl of the 50s. However, don't skip over It's Raining on Prom Night, sung by the wonderful Cindy Bullens. This is a cute, sweet song about a girl whose prom night has been ruined by "the cruel force of nature from the blue".... "and the Asiatic flu". Poor thing, she "don't even have my coursage oh geez. It fell down the sewer with my sister's ID."
Finally, Those Magic Changes is an upbeat, touching love song about a teenager who is reminded of his love whenever he hears their song.
This CD is perfect for parties, boring nights, nostalgia, and work-outs. Chang chang changity chang shoo bop!

Grease is one of my all time favorite movies and I remember having this on an eight track tape and wanted it back in my collection. Even my 15 year old daughter loves it, she downloaded some of the songs on her IPOD.
