<P> Alan Paul , later a member of The Manhattan Transfer , originated the role on Broadway . It is not uncommon for the role of the Teen Angel to be held as a dual role by one of the other characters in the cast during stage adaptations ( in Paul 's case , he also appeared as bandleader Johnny Casino ) . It was recorded by Frankie Avalon ( who , like Fabian , was a client of Bob Marcucci 's during his heyday ) for the 1978 film adaptation of Grease , a role he reprised on stage through the 1990s and early 2000s . The Wild Angels recorded an earlier version for Decca Records in 1972 . </P>
