TODAY IN MUSIC: “You’re the One That I Want” by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John reached number on on the Hot 100 on June 10, 1978. Written by John Farrar, the song was one of two singles (along with “Hopelessly Devoted to You”) that Farrar wrote specifically for Olivia Newton-John for the film version of Grease that had not been in the original stage musical. The song became an international hit and is one of the best-selling singles in history with estimated sales of more that 15 million copies. #olivianewtonjohn #johntravolta #grease #johnfarrar #hopelesslydevotedtoyou #stagemusicals #filmmusicals #bestsellingsingles #classic #popculture #danny #sandy #tonyatlarge #eclectimaniacradioshow #todayinmusic #musichistory
