The Dirty Dancing movie focused on the contemporary songs and delivered a great soundtrack that surprisingly matched its coming of age story. Bill Medley and Jennifer Warne’s Oscar-winning “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like the Wind,” and Eric Carmen’s “Hungry Eyes,” all contributed to the modern feel of the 1963 setting of the Dirty Dancing movie.
