Amazon.co.uk Review
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 Patrick 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

 Stupid... August 9, 2007

I watched Dirty Dancing about 2 weeks ago and fell in love with it. I loved the music most of all so bought this soundtrack. But then I noticed Ultimate Dirty Dancing, which is cheaper on Amazon and has all of the songs in Dirty Dancing! This one has about 12. Rubbish.
 A Teenager's Opinion August 24, 2004

I just wanted to say that as a teenager I can honestly say that this album is brilliant...even though many of the songs are hardly modern they are so powerful and you can relate them to the film as you listen. I saw Dirty Dancing about 2 months ago and I was enchanted by it..the onscreen chemistry between the 2 lead actors was amazing and the music just swept me away. I bought the soundtrack straight away and fell in love with it! I especially like, "Time of my life," "she's like the wind," and "Hungry Eyes," they're constantly on repeat for me. I'm looking forwards to the release of Havana Nights although I am sure it won't be anywhere near as brilliant as the original. Love it!!

This soundtrack is one of the best in the world. Being a big fan of the film I had to buy the soundtrack (which is quite a few years old now!!) i never get tired of listening to the music.

I have always been a big fan of the movie as I believe it to be the most romantic feel good film ever made and it is partly due to the great soundtrack. 'She's like the wind' is my fav song on the album followed closely by 'The time of my life' and 'Be my baby'. I hope you all love it as much as I do.
