Grease (song)
"Grease" is a song written by Barry Gibb and performed by Frankie Valli. "Grease" is the title song for the musical motion picture ''Grease'', which was based on the stage play of the same name. It was featured twice on the film's soundtrack, as the first track and reprised as the final track.
==Background==
Barry Gibb wrote a title song to order for the Robert Stigwood film of the stage musical ''Grease''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077631/soundtrack )〕 Since it is heard only in the animated opening credits, it did not need to be recorded before filming. The song was recorded shortly after filming for the 1978 musical film ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'', which was probably when Gibb invited Peter Frampton to the session. Frampton plays guitar on the recording, while Gibb himself provides backing vocals. The other musicians were some of those from the Andy Gibb album that was being made around the same time.〔(Gibb Songs 1978 )〕
Valli is known for his powerful falsetto voice, but on this track he doesn't sing in his upper range. The film director Randal Kleiser did not like "Grease" and the new song "You’re The One That I Want" because they did not fit the '50s style musically or lyrically.〔 It became a #1 single in the United States in 1978 and also reached #40 on the R&B charts in the same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frankie Valli Billboard )〕
The Bee Gees would later perform the song in their tour ''One Night Only'' in 1997 until 1999, and captured on their live offering ''One Night Only''.
