"You're the One that I Want" by Lo-Fang

 

On this day 45 years ago, Grease was the word, was the word that you heard.

The musical "Grease" starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John debuted in theaters, and one of the bright spots on the soundtrack was their duet "You're the One That I Want," a song that was added specifically for the movie.

On his 2014 album "Blue Film," Columbia, Maryland artist Lo-Fang covered the international hit.

While the original was more you're the one that I want in a romantic way, Lo-Fang's is more you're the one that I want displayed in my dimly lit foyer, encased in carbonite like Han Solo in "Return of the Jedi."

For a cover by Olivia Newton-John, her version of Meatloaf's "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" can be found here.

September 27th marks what would be the 75th birthday of Marvin Lee Aday, better known by his professional name -- Meat Loaf.

In honor of the artist who had an album remain on the best selling charts for NINE YEARS, here is a cover of "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" by Cambridge, England singer, actress, and activist Dame Olivia Newton-John.

Newton-John, like Meat Loaf, was one of the notable celebrity deaths of 2022, succumbing to cancer in August of this year.

She leaves behind a solid musical legacy, having recorded 14 solid gold singles, and four double platinum albums.

She also had a starring role in Sharknado 5.  Which is almost equally impressive.
