Musical Interlude: Twist of Fate (1983)

 Five years after "Grease", John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John were back together on the big screen, this time in the ill-reviewed rom-com, "Two of a Kind". The soundtrack fared much better than the movie did, producing hits for Newton-John, Journey, and Patti Austin.

The first of Olivia's three soundtrack singles was "Twist of Fate", which peaked at #5. Travolta appears in the video, not just in the movie footage, but in the actual video itself. After Journey's "Ask The Lonely", Travolta & Newton-John dueted for the first time since "Grease" with "Take a Chance".


There are fans that wished John & Olivia would've been a real-life couple following "Grease", but it was not meant to be. The duo would record one more duet, 2012's "I Think You Might Like It".
