Robbie Williams says Grease's 'Summer Nights' was the record that showed him he had a "future in performance".

The British singer says listening to John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sing the famous duet on a pub jukebox as a child allowed him to express his passion for performing.

He told Q magazine: “My first three years were spent in a pub — and Summer Nights was on the jukebox. That was the first record that showed me I had a future in performance — because the punters would put the money in and I’d mime to the record.

He added: "I’d do the whole bit.”

Williams also revealed the first record he ever owned: "The first one I had bought for me was Electro 1, on the Street Sounds label. My sister bought it for me. I couldn’t get enough of it...This was the time where there was lino being pulled up and we were all going breakdancing.”
