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
