I recall seeing the film as a child and not entirely understanding how she made me feel! RIP indeed.

Indeed so, I had a soft spot for her - reputed to have a near pitch-perfect voice. RIP.

Yes, when you're 18, 73 seems old, but all of us like to think we'll exceed that age.
I've always liked her version of this George Harrison song:

Yup. It's mostly forgotten she had a good music career

I was 15 when Grease first hit the cinemas. My 19 year old daughter grew up loving the video and the subsequent DVD. Amazing how one musical transcends the generations.

Never seen the whole of Grease in its entirity. I've seen so many clips though and I reckon most of the songs but maybe now is the time to see it right through. The colours look great on clips they've been showing today.

Not even the totality of the whole of Grease in its entirety? 🙂

Now I'm even wondering whether he's even seen most of the totality of the whole of Grease in its entirety. 🙂
