MUMBAI: Artiste of Grease, the musical made in 1978, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are all set to recreate the Grease magic by getting together for a festive album out in time for Christmas.

Their chemistry in the now legendary 1978 film made them worldwide stars and their duet You‘re The One That I Want became the best-selling duet in history. The idea to get together and record from songs came from the memory of the success of that song, it is reported. 

"From the moment we decided to do this, magic happened. Everyone we contacted agreed to do it," said Travolta in a statement. "It just fell into place. With our busy schedules, I don‘t know how we got it done. John and I have always been connected. That‘s never gone away. When we‘re together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another. We‘ve been through some amazing experiences together," avered Newton-John. 

The disc will also contain guest appearances of Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, James Taylor, Kenny G, Cliff Richard and jazz legend Chick Corea. 

All songs will be Christmas staples barring one called I Think You Might Like It written by Jay Farrar, who incidentally, wrote the pair‘s famous hit.
