Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

If film and music fans sometimes wonder why soundtracks are often little more than pastiches of past pop hits and chart flavors of the moment, it's largely due to the blockbuster success of releases like this collection from 1987's surprise Patrcik Swayze/Jennifer Grey romantic hit. The film's retro-romantic concerns came shrewdly wrapped in a (largely manufactured) dance craze conceit tailor-made for such pop chestnuts as the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," the Zodiacs' "Stay," and the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night." Mickey and Sylvia once again argued that "Love Is Strange"--if not quite as strained as Swayze's own attempt at balladry, "She's Like the Wind." Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes" showcased the former Raspberries leader to good effect, but the real soundtrack sweepstakes winner here was the Jennifer Warnes/Bill Medley duet "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." That performance not only won the Best Original Song Oscar the following year, but became one of the era's most performed songs and a ubiquitous radio staple. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews

Must have CD (2007-11-19)

This CD and the More Dirty Dancing is the best soundtracks I have heard in a long time.

Oh my god! (2006-06-22)

I love this Cd. The first time I saw this very great movie, I fell in love with the music. My favorite song is (I've had)The time of my life and you probably know the song Hey!Baby by Bruce Channel. If you like old music you probably will like this Cd.

Disappointing (2004-06-22)

I was disappointed with this CD. It lacks some of the important music from the movie; and yet, it is listed as a sound track from the movie. I don't think so!

A must for Dirty Dancers! (2004-04-28)

On August 14,1987,the movie DIRTY DANCING was theatrically released and became one of the year's best films. Some songs on this album were previously released. The first track,(I'VE HAD THE)TIME OF MY LIFE was a major hit,performed by the surviving Righteous Brother Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. Warnes had a hit song in the 70's entitled RIGHT TIME OF THE NIGHT. TIME OF MY LIFE was later used in a hotel chain commercial and Medley and Warnes sued for the rights. BE MY BABY was a hit in '62 for the Ronettes. SHE'S LIKE THE WIND was another hit performed by the film's star PATRICK SWAYZE. Another original track that also became a hit was HUNGRY EYES,performed by Eric Carmen. Carmen had a hit in '75 entitled ALL BY MYSELF. He also co-wrote the "Footloose" love theme,ALMOST PARADISE. STAY was on hit parade in 1961 or '62,performed by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs. YES sounds awesome and is suitable for aerobics classes. YOU DON'T OWN ME was a hit for Lesley Gore in '63 and on this album is covered by The Blow Monkeys,whose frontman is a George Michael soundalike. Bruce Channel recorded HEY BABY and was a hit in '62. OVERLOAD is a hard-rocker. LOVE IS STRANGE was recorded in the late 50's by Mickey & Sylvia. WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT? was recorded by the Doobie Brothers' former frontman Tom Johnston in the style of Huey Lewis & The News(at the time of recording,the Doobie Brothers were disbanded and would later re-form with the original members including Johnston). IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT was a hit for the Five Satins in 1956. The sequel to this album,MORE DIRTY DANCING,would contain more oldies-but-goodies and original music.

Excellent! (2004-01-10)

I absolutely love this album. I used the orchestral version of I've Had The Time Of My Life at my wedding. It simply can set any mood. I rate this CD 5 stars because it's something that everyone can listen to. Dirty Dancing is something that is here to stay for an extremely long time!
