Summer Nights is our song choice for today’s sheet, and even if you can find some good versions on the market, we will address the original song, interpreted by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
John Travolta, known as one of the world’s most-loved American actors, is also a singer, acting in the show biz world since 1972 and rose to fame during 1970.
He interpreted Summer Nights in a duo with Olivia Newton-John, the British-Australian singer, actress and songwriter.
Olivia Newton-Jon sings mainly pop and country music and the fit between the two in the free Summer Nights piano sheets is just amazing.
The song was released for the movie Grease and it is one of the most popular songs from the movie.
It was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, produced by Louis St. Louis, and even though other versions have been recorded, Travolta’s and Newton-John’s is the best of what it is.
Among the most beautiful versions, we can name the ones by Angelica Maria in 1979, Eden Sher in 2013 or Karmin in 2013.
Summer Nights was released in August 1978 as part of the soundtrack album named Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture.
The song has on its B-side the song Rock and Roll Party Queen, by Louis St. Louis.
With a length of 3:35 minutes in its original version, the free Summer Nights piano sheet music belongs to the pop and musical theatre music genres and it was released through RSO studios.
Once released, the song instantly became a massive hit worldwide, and it reached number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 in the U.K.
As the title says, the song has a very summer-ish vibe and it features the love affair between Danny and Sandy, the main characters from the movie.
We strongly encourage you to play it at your piano at home and leave us your feedback.
