What a stretch it must have been for Sha-Na-Na to play a 1950’s band. Our sarcasm aside, Sha-Na-Na had to be considered the only real choice to portray “Johnny Casino and the Gamblers” in Grease, and they were given extensive time to show what they could do. Sha-Na-Na parlayed their role in Grease to their own syndicated show, and played off the 50’s nostalgia kick. We will say this; it may not be our style of music but technically speaking, they are a very good band.
