The soundtrack recording overdubbed (You may notice only at the end) here, Johnny's vocal from the "Grease" movie is truly the definitive standard there is of the song. We never had even one hit record of our own on the radio, but Sha Na Na penetrated the market at least with our renderings in the "Grease" movie soundtrack.
What's that playing on the radio? Why do I start swaying to and fro? I have never heard that song before But if I don't hear it anymore It's still familiar to me Sends a thrill right through me 'Cause those chords remind me of the night that I first fell in love to Those magic changes My heart arranges A melody that's never the same A melody that's calling your name And begs you please come back to me Please return to me, Don't go away again, Oh make them play again The music I want to hear as once again You whisper in my ear Oh, my darling uh huh I'll be waiting by the radio, You'll come back to me someday I know Been so lonesome since our last goodbye But I'm singing as I cry-why-ay While the bass is sounding While the drums are pounding Beatings of my broken heart Will rise to first place on the charts Oh, my heart arranges Oh, those magic changes Oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh, yeah, whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooo
Amazing! Johnny is beyond description. His voice is flawless. Great range, perfect pitch, great tone quality, amazing ability to convey emotion. As a singer he leaves nothing to be desired.
Man this is the catchiness from every oldies song rolled into one! The definition and embodiment of that era! The sum total of the greatest music in american history!!!
This was my first favorite song,first music idol,first favorite tv show,first favorite movie film and soundtrack (Grease)...This opened the door to it all! I was so lucky to have been born in 1977 to where my childhood and nostalgia itself can all be wrapped up in one phrase “Grease for Peace”!
As someone pointed out not long back, taking that Thrillingly Shockingly Highest of High Notes and bending and riding it smoothly until the Chorus proves that Johnny is a very Masterful Singer and then some! Mmmmmercy, Son!B.W.
I remember watching this performance when it was first aired on TV in the 70's thinking Wow! To this day it set the bar as the best vocal performance by a male singer. As for female vocalists it's a toss up between Karen Carpenter and Judith Durham, both of whom I had the privilege of seeing perform live. Sure miss those days.
What happened to music?? I would rather listen to this.. rather than the crappy music they play on the radio today 😑😐 🤷 I strongly feel like I was born in the wrong era 🤦
Love his voice.
Love this song
Beautiful, Classic Song and Recording!
Beautiful voice.
OMG that voice 😮
I listen to this song every day

I NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS SONG FROM AGE 13 TO 46 STILL A JAM
I used to love listening to this and watching Sha na an on Saturday’s nights man it was kool to be a kid back then 👍✌️
Great song from Grease.
Times were so much better back then
My favorite from the Grease soundtrack.
Matt James I'm doing the play at my School
Me too
Mine, too!
Same 😎😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻
So do I, really, you know! I can never grow tired of his song!!
this song captured the magic of Grease so well. love it!!!
THIS MANS VOICE HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could be one of the best songs in the history of music
I'm officially old I remember the show and had a major crush on him 😍
Great uplifting ❤
What a great song and what a great voice. Listening to this takes me back 40 years.....an easier nicer time.
It was, and I miss the times when people didn't act "paranoid" over the slightest slights!
Not only did I watch Sha Na Na on TV as a child, but my father took me to see Sha Na Na in concert back in 1982, and I loved it!
ALWAYS LOVED this 👏👏👏
Wow! How could you not? Love this song?? Go! Johnny Go! 🙂
Johnny's still going to this day!
one of the best songs ever!
Yeah I know right?
Yes
Absolutely!
What a voice ! His falsettos are among the best ever
Yeah I know right?
Totally!I love a guy who can hit the high notes and still sound like a guy!😎
Totally in agreement with you. Mr. Contardo had an aura of innocence around him. He possess a voice that few can match.
n match
He STILL has it today!
So do I! I never liked guys sounding like girls when hitting high notes!
He has such a natural, exquisite vibrato and a beautifully smooth voice.
He also has looks and a personality to match!
I heard many great versions of this song but this is the one.
Superb voice!!
Johnny Contardo then, now & forever!!
Absolutely!
What's that playing on the radio?
Why do I start swaying to and fro?
I have never heard that song before
But if I don't hear it anymore
It's still familiar to me
Sends a thrill right through me
'Cause those chords remind me of the night that I first fell in love to
Those magic changes
My heart arranges
A melody that's never the same
A melody that's calling your name
And begs you please come back to me
Please return to me,
Don't go away again,
Oh make them play again
The music I want to hear as once again
You whisper in my ear
Oh, my darling uh huh
I'll be waiting by the radio,
You'll come back to me someday I know
Been so lonesome since our last goodbye
But I'm singing as I cry-why-ay
While the bass is sounding
While the drums are pounding
Beatings of my broken heart
Will rise to first place on the charts
Oh, my heart arranges
Oh, those magic changes
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, yeah, whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooo
Well done and THANK YOU VERY MUCH 😉😉😁😁😁😁
I always skipped this song on the Grease soundtrack growing up. Now it's my favourite!!!
Such a beautiful voice! And the dancers. They brought tears to my eyes.
Johnny has one of pop's truly great voices

Amazing! Johnny is beyond description. His voice is flawless. Great range, perfect pitch, great tone quality, amazing ability to convey emotion. As a singer he leaves nothing to be desired.

I always thought this was the best original from Johnny and Sha na na. Good memories watching this tv show as a kid in the 70's. What a voice!
He`s 70 and still sounds great.
This was my first favorite song,first music idol,first favorite tv show,first favorite movie film and soundtrack (Grease)...This opened the door to it all! I was so lucky to have been born in 1977 to where my childhood and nostalgia itself can all be wrapped up in one phrase “Grease for Peace”!
Love love love this song
Beautiful!I had a huge crush on Johnny and never missed an episode of Sha Na Na.What an amazing voice!
Do you still have a crush on Johnny now? Despite the fact that he's aged, he STILL has his dreamy brown eyes and affectionate demeanor!
@@LisaKoffler Yes I do.😁I checked out his UA-cam channel and he's still adorable and has a great voice!
Starlet O'Hara, have you watched any of his cooking videos yet? I have, and I found some recipes I wouldn't mind trying myself!
Great voice. Very talented man!! I could listen to him all day!!!!!
As someone pointed out not long back, taking that Thrillingly Shockingly Highest of High Notes and bending and riding it smoothly until the Chorus proves that Johnny is a very Masterful Singer and then some! Mmmmmercy, Son!B.W.
Johnny is masterful in everything he does!
Groupie, much?
Great song from grease done by a great singer Johnny contardo and shanana , a great 50s style rock n roll band
They're a cover band.
One of his best!!
I saw them do this live in Chicago back in the late '70s. SHA NA NA was so GREAT that I had to see them again and again!
I saw them in concert in the '80s in Providence, Rhode Island, and I loved it, too!
Best version ever.

God Bless You Johnny Bravissimo Love These Beautiful Words Absolutely Priceless
His last name is "Contardo," but I do agree with you that God blessed him with the gift of singing!
@Lisa - This person is not saying Bravissimo is his last name. They are saying “Bravo” to his performance….
Great song by Johnny with Sha na na and just a great movie that never gets gets old as does this song and the other songs.
No one can sing like Johnny Contardo!!!
That's true!
Steve Perry in his prime
Once a greaser, always a greaser!
Bowzer fits the bill perfectly!
excelente!!
escutando em Campo Grande MS Brasil.
I love this song 💓
Forever!
Lovely voice lovely song x
Just saw Johnny and Bowzer perform this in Clearwater two weeks ago!
Wow! It must have been fun!
@@LisaKoffler heck yes it was!!
Robyn Pack, if they visit Providence, Rhode Island, it'll be great to see them again after seeing them with Sha Na Na when I was a teenager!
Amo essa música por causa do Grease kkk
Yes it is
LOVE THIS SONG
Memories :)

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 best song ever
The most handsome and sexy guy I've ever seen on a stage and ... What a voice! I could die hearing him singing close to my ear.
Really? I can have dreams while sleeping at night about Johnny!
@@LisaKoffler OMG!
Maria, wouldn't you dream about Johnny, too?
@@LisaKoffler For dreaming it's necessary to sleep. Being mother of a todler, I almost have no time to sleep. Lol
Maria, I'm so sorry to hear that. Your toddler will grow very fast, and maybe you can introduce your toddler to Johnny's music!
Sounds great. Thank u

You weren't "born in the wrong era," because different people have different musical tastes.
