A Fine Collection of Travolta's Recordings
06/14/1998
(5 out of 5 stars)
"All of John Travolta's original solo hits, including "Sandy" and "Greased Lightnin'" from the movie "Grease," are included on this 23-track CD. Younger fans may be surprised to learn that Travolta actually charted with a few of his singles, scoring his biggest hit with "Let Her In." Some of the songs are cover versions ("Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" by Eric Carmen, "Right Time of the Night" by Jennifer Warnes, and "A Girl Like You" by The Rascals), and the most avid Travolta fans will be pleased with the inclusion of the Paul Williams tune, "What Would They Say?" from Travolta's cult TV-movie, "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble." The CD's only downside, aside from the absence of liner notes, is the exclusion of Travolta's two duets with Olivia Newton-John, "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want," but both of these songs can be found on the "Grease" movie soundtrack as well as Newton-John's "Back to Basics" collection."
