The fact that the originals hold up better than the ’50s tunes is largely due to Sha Na Na’s workmanlike performances, but the originals are so giddily enjoyable – not only the quintet mentioned above, but also Frankie Avalon’s “Beauty School Dropout,” Stockard Channing’s “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” and Frankie Valli’s title track – that everything works. They sing the majority of the originals – “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Sandy,” “Greased Lightnin’” – which were the reason why the film and soundtrack became blockbusters. The soundtrack rivaled its film counterpart as a pop culture perennial, and it’s not hard to see why – its good-natured pastiche of doo wop and early rock & roll is infectious and charming, due in no small part to John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John’s charismatic, engaging performances. That was the version that transformed Grease into a phenomenon – it was a runaway box office success, and then became a TV, cable, and video favorite. Grease was a huge success as a Broadway musical prior to hitting the big screen in 1978. They sing the majority of the tracks including “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Greased Lightnin’” and more.
