Beauty School Dropout - Grease (film) (Frankie Avalon) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Grease is an immensely popular musical and an overall cultural phenomenon, standing the test of time as one of the most enduring movie musicals of the 20th century. And out of all the songs on the album, there was one that became an unexpected hit. “Beauty School Dropout,” a song about the character of Frenchy and her academic woes, ended up becoming one of the most beloved songs from the entire production. The track is performed by Frankie Avalon for the film version of the musical, with the character of the Teen Angel commenting on Frenchy’s dilemma. This is a role he would go on to reprise on stage throughout productions of Grease in the 1990s and 2000s. “Beauty School Dropout” was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. It has gone on to be covered by other artists, such as ska-punk band Less Than Jake, and the cast of the TV musical series Glee. The original motion picture soundtrack for Grease became one of the most successful albums of the 1970s, making it to Number 20 on the US Billboard 200 album chart.
