Sha Na Na/Johnny Contardo - Those Magic Changes

"Those Magic Changes" by Sha Na Na with Johnny Contardo.

[@jameshurley3776]

OMG!!! Johnny's voice is like BUTTER 🧈!!! Simply incredible!!!

[@mmcc4517]

Whenever I watch Grease I get this song stuck in my head. It’s awesome to see him sing it.

[@Oriol-oo7jl]

what is sad is that this song is like "secondary" in the movie. Like a background song, if i recall correctly. Also "raining in prom's night" suffer the same fate. Both songs deserve same mainstream as "Greaselighting" or "the one that i want", you know what i mean Oh boy all the soundtrack is great :) "sandy" i love that one too

[@taliehughes4341]

Johnny's Voice is as golden as his suit

[@jessiejames7492]

he used to give singing lessons. dont know if he still does

[@PerformersacademyNet]

He still does at The Performer's Academy in Orange County.

[@LisaKoffler]

So is his personality!

[@tiger_woody]

Totally underrated voice! That guy's voice is sublime!

[@LisaKoffler]

Johnny's voice is outstanding!

[@muddogen8369]

Now this is music No autotunes, no dubstep, no voice changers, This is what i call pure talent.

It's raw Either you got it or you didn't

Agree! ❤️

[@gloriathompson980]

No, but Asa Elliott comes pretty close!

[@christopherpye3279]

It's 2023 now, I remember this song when I was a young man when my parents took me and my little brother to watch Grease at the drive in movies... And thankfully, that drive in is still here today in Atlanta, Ga.... STARLIGHT THEATER, on Moreland Avenue... Star Wars.... Jaws. I GUESS YOU CAN FIGURE OUT ABOUT HOW OLD I AM🤣🤣🤣🤣...Lmao...I really miss those times... I'm 54 now, still have my parents with me here healthy and strong .. My dad still talks about when we used to go there in his black 56 Chevy impala...Great times y'all....

[@MrLatinguyinLBC]

nice memories bro

[@cag758]

Johnny owns this song !!! His vocal ability is astounding 😊

[@tracyjones2549]

Perfect. NO ONE!!! sings this like Johnny Contardo. No one. I hear this, and it's 40 years ago and I'm 12 years old, watching Sha Na Na, totally in love with Johnny.

[@Oriol-oo7jl]

i'm glad new generations appreciate good old music too! Keep being sharp and curious!

[@TheTruth-du4xt]

I've watched this video over 50 times. It's THAT good.

[@jessiejames7492]

yes me too..it only gets better . never gets fed up of it.

[@TheTruth-du4xt]

+jessie james, I'm a singer myself. This song requires ALOT of proper breath technique. Right before Johnny begins singing, he actually looks like an athlete ready to engage in a very strenuous activity.

[@GlendaPaul]

It sure does .. and Johnny is an expert .. he's an awesome vocal coach too😊💖💖

[@jessiejames7492]

Glenda Paul yes i read that he gives voice lessons...as you put it vocal coaching.

[@jessiejames7492]

the person who designed that gold suit and made them wear it should be shot.one of the ugliest thingson earth

[@nancymunroe3672]

That voice cuts through me like a knife, right to the heart!!! I was so in love with Johnny!!!

How is such a voice possible?🥇🤔 Pure golden!😆😁🙃🤩👍

[@williamcason5157]

Man Johnny Contardo can sing. When I was a kid in the 70's, he was my favorite singer. I sure miss good clean fun shows and music like this.

[@619Kliquero]

Johnny Contardo has an incredible voice. This is one of my favorite Sha Na Na songs. This song makes me wanna watch Grease, which I happen to have on DVD. Johnny Contardo reminds me of a young Billy Crystal.. LOL!

They're NOT related - they're just lookalikes.

Stephanie L., some people had the mistaken idea that they were.

[@plk5520]

I saw Sha Na Na in 1972. I never knew until recently that many of the former members achieved advanced university degrees after leaving the band. Some went on to pursue academic careers while others became doctors or lawyers. Not your typical rock and roll story!

[@truttman]

The two guys in lame dancing in the middle are a doctor and a lawyer.

These vocals are just so clean--I never get tired of listening to them.

This brings back so many memories I use to watch this show in the 70s, I love this song and the way johnny sings it is the best I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is an incredible talent!

[@caterinaciman8568]

Johnny Contardo...one of the best voices in the business. I still get goosebumps after all these years! ♥

I don't. I still smile and blush!

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

Johnny nails it! Can't be an easy song to sing as his voice has to go higher and higher. But he nails it!

[@jeremyleewf]

yeah I agree, it's the best song in grease....and only played in the background.

[@adkesq4]

only played in the background in the movie. It's a featured song in the stage musical.

I've been searching for this song for so long 😭 I would hear it on the radio and I fell in love with it. Finally I found it 😫

[@takumifujiwara783]

That's funny. That's what the songs lyrics say. Also song comes out in Grease in the school dance scene.

[@petescafidi]

He sings this song better live than on the recording. Especially the "cry-y-y" part without it being so cheesy. What a great singer!

[@robertnegrete5510]

I use to watch them with my family as a kid. Man this guys can sing. Keep it up Johnny

[@marcelozubizarreta5754]

One of the best singer that I have ever seen in my life! What voice Johnny!

Johnny Contardo is one of the greatest singers ever and just like Jay Black he can still pump out a fabulous performance.

Johnny now has his own KZbin Channel, and he's cooking!

Simply, singing at it's best. This is an extremely tricky song to sing and Johnny makes it look easy. Fantastic!

I’m mesmerized by Johnny’s beautiful voice, and he moves me to tears. But also the incredible and polished moves of Bowzer, Denny, Santini and Donny! So elegantly executed. I will always be a big fan.

[@LisaKoffler]

ALL the members of Sha Na Na have outstanding singing voices, and Johnny's voice is STILL beautiful today!

[@KayElle733]

It’s quite hard to sing this song at this tempo, you’ve got to get those breaths in at the right time while keeping the lyrics flowing, which of course he nails 👍🏼😀😍
