Worldwide CD sales of the best-selling original RCA soundtrack album arein excess of 42 million copies, 11-times RIAA platinum in the U.S. alone.
The
Dirty Dancing soundtrack albumsoared on the wings of the original chart hits “Hungry Eyes” (
BillboardHot 100 #4); “She’s Like the Wind” (Hot 100 #3); and the Grammy®, Oscar, andGolden Globe Award-winning “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” (Hot 100 #1).

The finaltrack was recorded by former RCA group the Blow Monkeys from England, theircover of Lesley Gore’s 1964 hit, “You Don’t Own Me.”
Acornerstone of ’80s pop culture,
DirtyDancing reflected back on the early-’60s culture of summer vacationlife at a resort in New York’s Catskill Mountains (although it was filmed onlocation in Virginia and North Carolina).
With its heavenly mix of generation gap melodrama, well-programmed rock,R&B, Latin and pre-disco music, coming-of-age sexuality among its teens,and of course plenty of laughs and “dirty dancing,” the movie has stood thetest of time over the last quarter-century.
Dirty Dancing starred 27-year oldJennifer Grey (in only her sixth movie role, her follow-up to
FerrisBueller’s Day Off in 1986) as young, naive “Baby” Houseman; 25-year oldPatrick Swayze (only four years into his movie career, in between
Red Dawn, which co-starred Grey, and
Steel Dawn) as the sultry danceinstructor Johnny Castle; and veteran character actor Jerry Orbach (four yearsbefore he began his 13-year stint on “Law & Order”) as Baby’s father, Dr.Jake Houseman.
