You’re the One That I Want – Grease

You’re the One That I Want – Grease

Written for the 1978 musical Grease, “You’re the One That I Want” is the last song in the film, and was a successful hit single reaching #1 around the world.

An upbeat, catchy tune which is fun to play, a great one for beginners across all instruments 🙂
