Grease was another chart topping soundtrack album starring John Travolta, this time teamed up with Olivia Newton John. Features covers of 1950s hits plus some huge new 1970s hits performed by the headline stars. (US:1 UK:1)

“The highlights are the songs by Newton-John, Travolta, the two of them and a few others. Sha-Na-Na drags this down because they weren't inspired versions, but more workmanlike in approach.”

“When a movie comes out with a soundtrack that isn't just a compilation of various artists’ music, it becomes an album on its own and this is one of the better ones. John Travolta showcases his music talent with Olivia Newton John as his counter part. With other actual singers like Sha Na Na, Frankie Valli and Frankie Avalon, you hear non-singers like Stockard Channing. All the music is early rock & roll and doo-wop.”

“Why can't today's music be as melodic and fun to sing? An awesome soundtrack, one of the best that allows you to relive every great point in the movie.”

Grease is the word. This soundtrack rules. The songs are fabulous and really get you pumped up. After listening to it, I wish I could go back to the 50s.”

Grease is a great movie and has great music. It has some new recordings of 1950s music and has good 1970s music in it as well. If you like the 70s and 50s this is a must.”

“I am so thankful I grew up in the era when this movie came out. It was not only a pleasure to watch, but it was fantastic to listen to. John and Olivia are amazing together, both with their onscreen chemistry and their singing.”

“All the songs are good especially the new songs written for the movie, It's no wonder it sold so many millions of copies, it's perfect.”
