Hopelessly Devoted To You - From "Grease" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Olivia Newton-John's contract for Grease stipulated that she should have a solo spot. However, nobody had any ideas for a song for her character, Sandy, until Olivia's producer John Farrar came up with "Hopelessly Devoted To You" halfway through the shoot. Director Randal Kleiser wasn't wholly convinced by the song at first and had to come up with an entirely new scene to fit it in. It was eventually filmed and recorded after the movie had wrapped and it earned the film's only Oscar nomination, for Best Music - Original Song.

In the movie, Sandy sings this song while pining for her summer fling Danny, played by John Travolta. As the scene wraps up and he finishes the song, she sees his reflection in a kiddie pool.

John Farrar wrote two new songs for the movie version of Grease: this and "You're The One That I Want," while Barry Gibb wrote one original song, "Grease."
