This record reminds me of the summer of 1978 when this single was at Number One for eight weeks, which at the time was unprecedented. The success of ‘Saturday Night Fever’ the year before had catapulted John Travolta into superstar status and a suitable vehicle for him was found in ‘Grease’, which was released later in the year.
I remember buying my copy of this number one classic while on holiday in Mablethorpe during the summer and watching the video (which was taken from the film and acted as trailer for it) on ‘Top Of The Pops’ week after week.
By the time this song, ‘Summer Nights’, ‘Greased Lightening’ and ‘Sandy’ had been released as singles we were all desperate to get to the cinema to see the film and I remember going to see it with my brother and was not disappointed.
Now listen to the song….
