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

BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!, 2010-05-17
Reminded me of my days at secondary school. Loved all the songs. Swayze was the best ever.
 A little confusing but good, 2010-07-26
I bought it after watching the film and didn't recognise half the tracks! There are tracks from the movie on it though, I just wish that all the music was on it and not this small selection
Dirty Dancing - original film track, 2010-07-05
That is what I was disappointed with. I thought it was going to be the FULL soundtrack, but it turned out to be only a selection of 12 tracks out of at least 25. It does say 'a selection' on the sleeve, but in such small print I could not read it. I feel it should say this in the description, as I know now of a number of people who have been caught out like I was. I do like the selection of tracks on it, however, and am especially pleased it includes 'She's Like the Wind', written and performed by Patrick Swayze.
first download - dead easy, 2010-07-09
This is the first full CD I've downloaded directly.
The process was easy, simple to do and pay for.
I'll do it again.

Enjoyed the film and after buying the cd you can relive the whole film again.
