Soundtrack Introduction
The Dirty Dancing Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies the 1987 film directed by Emile Ardolino and starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, spending 18 weeks at the top and selling over 32 million copies worldwide — making it one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time. (I've Had) The Time of My Life by Bill Medley (of The Righteous Brothers) and Jennifer Warnes reached US No. 1 and UK No. 6, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe at the 1988 ceremonies. She's Like the Wind — written and performed by Swayze himself — reached US No. 3 and UK No. 42. Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen (formerly of The Raspberries) and Be My Baby by The Ronettes (1963, Phil Spector production) add further depth to a soundtrack that spans 1960s girl-group classics and 1980s power ballads across its 12 tracks.
Tracklist Highlights
- Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes – (I've Had) The Time of My Life — One of the most immediately recognisable and emotionally resonant film songs ever recorded; its combination of a warm, orchestral production and the interplay between Medley's baritone and Warnes's soprano gives it a romantic grandeur that won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. US No. 1. UK No. 6.
- Patrick Swayze – She's Like the Wind — Written and performed by the film's star; a slow, atmospheric ballad with a vocal of complete emotional directness that gives the soundtrack one of its most quietly powerful and personally resonant moments. US No. 3. UK No. 42.
- Eric Carmen – Hungry Eyes — A driving, melodically irresistible pop-rock track from the former Raspberries frontman; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and Carmen's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal.
- The Ronettes – Be My Baby — Phil Spector's 1963 production and one of the most immediately recognisable and culturally significant girl-group recordings ever made; its combination of the famous Wall of Sound production and Ronnie Spector's vocal gives it a warmth and romantic directness that has made it one of the most enduring recordings of the 1960s.
- The Blow Monkeys – You Don't Own Me — A cover of Lesley Gore's 1963 feminist pop classic; the Blow Monkeys' reading gives the familiar song a contemporary 1980s energy and demonstrates the soundtrack's ability to combine classic and contemporary material with complete effectiveness.
