...street Tyrone Power," dithers Allan Carr, a manager-producer who landed Travolta for his $6 million film version of Grease, to be released in June. This time, five years after the road tour, John will have the lead, dancing and singing pre-fab rock-'n'-roll ditties in a voice that sounds like he's been gargling with Ovaltine...
