NO JIVE

In Randal Kleiser’s article on “Grease,” the song “Sandy” is credited solely to Louis St. Louis (“ ‘Grease’ Is Still the Word,” March 15). The song was actually co-written with Scott Simon of Sha Na Na. Screamin’ Scott deserves his due.
Also, Sha Na Na, which I have been a member of for 29 years, contributed six performances of songs from the original Broadway production and other rock ‘n’ roll classics to the enduring “Grease” soundtrack: “Blue Moon,” “Those Magic Changes,” “Hound Dog,” “Born to Hand Jive,” “Tears on My Pillow” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Is Here to Stay.”
