Amazon.com:
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 Wilson

Rating:  - Fabulous!
This brings back my childhood! Why can't today's music be as melodic and fun to sing? Awesome soundtrack - one of the best!
Rating: - Grease, the movie
My daughter and I went to the drive-in about 50 times one summer to watch Grease. We would pack a cooler with food and drinks and watch it each time like it was our first. Many years later, this was a birthday gift for her, and we watched it together for the first time---AGAIN!

Rating: - Grease Was My Word
The soundtrack to Grease is actually one of the five albums that changed my life. When I was a tee weeny little boy, this soundtrack and the film were the first real adult type of fare that I came across which actually affected me in any way. T
he film was so exciting to me I made every relative I had take me to see it claiming I had never seen it before. My Aunt and I listened to it on my Grandma's big record player in the living room - one of those things that look like a cabinet but actually house a record player and in Grandma Ferlie's case an 8 track player. Then I made my mom buy me the 8-track for myself.
I sang every song as if it were my own and as if I knew what half the words meant. "Summer Nights", "You're The One That I Want", "Greased Lightning" - not to mention the 1,2 punch of sassy pants Rizzo with her teaser "Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee" and "There Are Worse Things I Could Do", plus the Sha Na Na whole middle of 50's dance music, and the Cindy Bullens sung "It's Raining On Prom Night", "Freddy My Love" and "Mooning" from the original play (which I didn't even know existed at the time). The soundtrack to Grease made me grow up and to this day I still get sucked in to both the flick and the soundtrack and it made me a life long Livvie fan.
Plus my very first ever time performing live was as a 6 year old kid getting up with a live band and singing the duet "You're The One That I Want" as a solo - yeah I was cool like Zuko.
Rating: - Grease - Timeless
Grease will continue to stand the test of time forever. I am in my fifties, my son is 18. I enjoyed the movie's music when I was his age, he enjoys it as much now, 34 years later from the time I first did. Apparently the music is timeless. Just as it moved people to sing along, dance or click their fingers at the very least when it was first heard, so does it continue to do the same now.
I can almost see my son introducing this music to his children in the future, and their enjoying this as much as I did then and now.
Rating: - Incredible soundtrack.
Grease (Original 1978 Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the coolest soundtrack of all-time. Songs like You're The One That I Want, Summer Nights, Sandy, Hopelessly Devoted to You, and We Go Together are simply irrestible and timeless songs. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sound great, their vocals are spot-on. Stockard Channing also has a distinctive voice, There Are Worse Things I Could Do is a cheek-in-tongue kinda song, love it! I highly recommend this flawless album and the film as well.
