She is dubbing Stockard Channing's singing voice. Cindy came out as transgender in 2012 and now calls herself Cidny Bullens. She was born Mar. 21, 1955 in West Newbury, MA. Her introduction to the music business was with legendary producer Bob Crewe in 1975. She wrote songs and sang backup vocals on some of his albums. She also married his brother Dan Crewe. She toured with Elton John. So she became a top backup singer. That's how she wound up on the Grease soundtrack. She performed three songs dubbing for Stockard Channing. It's Raining on Prom Night is the only song that appears in the film. After that Cindy launched a solo career. She recorded three albums for three different labels; United Artists, Casablanca and MCA. She wrote and produced them and she even had success as a songwriter. But Cindy was never able to get that hit single to get to a higher level. After raising her family, Cindy recorded in 1994. Since then she records for smaller labels. In 2012, she came out as transgender and changed her name to Cidny Bullens. The 2020 album Walkin' Through This World is Cidny's first album as a transgender man. Here's a video of Cindy Bullens performing It's Raining on Prom Night from the 1978 film Grease.
