Rare Stories from Dirty Dancing, the 80s BIGGEST Selling Soundtrack Ever | Professor of Rock

[@deanrobert9953]

I sat on the sidelines back in the day as music led movies like Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Flashdance, Top Gun, Purple Rain, etc were big in the theatres. I spent what money I had buying tapes and roller skating... not much left for the movie theatre. I've never seen any of those films in their entirety... just clips and pieces here and there. But the POR just keeps bringing them up... inciteful interviews, behind the scenes info, well produced videos and now I can't believe what I'm thinking... I'm going to set aside a night to watch Dirty Dancing. 😜

[@ianrobinson4200]

The soundtracks for Footloose, Top Gun and Dirty Dancing are forever marked on my soul from family road trips in the 80’s.

[@BillGraper]

My biggest memory of this song was in 1995. I was 23, hanging out with a few of my friends. I was the only one with a driver's license (the other 3 were younger) and I would drive them around listening to music. I had the cassette single, and we played it a lot. The guys (one guy & me) had to sing the guy parts & the girls (two of them as well) had to sing the girl parts. I still remember Brian & I singing really loud before the last chorus, "AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOU..." LOL!

[@ervinrobinson6711]

Wow! Didn't knowing that he was the guy that sung sweet heart. I love that song. I really love it when the artists tell the story of how it all came together. You can see these guys really love creating music. Dirty dancing is part of the soundtrack to my life. Thank you for the great music and memories. And thank you POR for the great videos.

I saw it twice in the cinema as a kid, then had it on VHS and watched it most days after school. Eventually the VHS started ‘jumping’ from being watched so much.

[@selqui]

Yup, Professor, I'm among the ranks who rate this my favourite movie of all time (and I have one eclectic top ten). Baby's emotional transparency, perfectly portrayed by Jennifer Grey, made it okay for all of us to be who we were. Awkward, slightly naïve, determined to learn, growing and falling in love. This movie was for all of us, a generation that summed up all of those feels in one vulnerable expression.....'I carried a WATERMELON?!' Thank you so much for this!

I love these back stories to iconic songs that were almost not iconic but because of either a phone call or a scribble on an envelope on the toll or the label not fully getting behind or promoting a song (You should do a whole series on songs that made it that labels didn’t support) because of all those dots that were connected this song made it and was people driven. One dot doesn’t get connected and no one would know these guys existed... Great interview! btw my 11 yr old daughter (Parker) discovered this song on Fuller House and said daddy listen to this new song 😁

[@justinskullhead]

Im late commenting, since this was put out 3 years ago, but this song and Dirty Dancing was the highlight of my childhood. When Dirty Dancing came out in Theaters, me and my sister would watch it 2-3 times a day, in the theater, then she would make me practice the dances with her at home, and she always made me the boy 😂😂😂 and because i am the little sister, I obliged. We saw it every single weekend, multiple times until it went out of theaters. And every single time I watched it felt like the first time. I wanted to dance like Baby so bad. I've since passed it down to my kids and my nieces and nephews. Once they have children, ill be passing this classic down to the next generation. I love every single thing about the movie and the soundtrack...and now, i must go watch it again ❤❤❤ Thank you for this wonderful interview and walk down memory lane Professor!!

[@57WillysCJ]

Time of my Life is like a favorite book that becomes an old friend. You can't listen to it and feel bad. As someone with a baritone voice it is hard to find songs you are comfortable with singing. Thankfully I have Bill Medley. The record producer changing things to match his voice is tremendous as most say go try something else. Phil Specter when he was at his genius in 1964 did it for Bill in You've Lost that Loving Feeling paved the way to make something different.

This is a tremendously well done interview because of: 1. The INTERVIEWER 2. The 2 gifted song writers 3. The above all meshed perfectly together due to the combined personalities of the above IMHO. The sum equalling what I write here in "3". All are relaxed, responding with brutally honest answers along with the heartfelt humility coming forth completely and sounding so humble and sincere. I listened 3 times because of what the Songwriter shown on the "bottom left" of my digital cell phone said beginning around the 7:40 Mark. He made an amazing admission and gave thanks to our Savior - you could see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice as he then continued to describe the entire process involved in the composition of this MASTERPIECE of MUSIC. What a beautiful honor to have the courage to admit to such a mystical, Spiritually derived thought process that must of, or rather, DID Divinely write "song #150". His story of the beginning process occurring on The New Jersey Turnpike along with his "co-composer explaining the "different CHORD applications and combinations" as well as informing the audience about "Modulations between different "KEYS" are subjects very seldom addressed by most professional Musicians. And yet, to become a Master in the Art of incorporating melodic, subtle changes by using MODULATION can, in and of itself, take a lifetime of studying this most important part of all the different nuances and incorporated aspects of Music Theory. (I, myself, have relentlessly studied this fascinating subject since I was 7. To discover it's secrets opens up an astonishing amount of musical combinations of melodic progressions when composing! Thanks Ma & Pa for forcing me into Piano lessons the day after I turned 5. (lol). Nice work Professor and, if possible, please thank this songwriting team know that I appreciate THEIR humble nature and TRUTH bearing ways of motivating additional Musicians with their concise explanations of the "Songwriting Process. Sincerely, François H.

The first time I heard about "Dirty Dancing" was in 1985 (I know crazy that was two years before it was released). It was my senior year of high school and I was dating a German exchange student who was really into competitive ballroom dancing back home. She excitedly told me about a movie about ballroom dancing. I remember seeing the movie is 1987, long after we had separated and thinking so this is what she was talking about! The music in that final scene is totally uplifting.

[@lockedin60]

One of the great songs that makes it impossible to not feel sheer joy when listening to it. But it causes you to want to move to not be sedate when it is played. It is one song that just cannot be interpreted by any other pair but Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. I find it ironic that a lot of great songs especially the lyrics seem to be channeled from a Divine Source through human hands.

[@HumbertoAbed]

A perfect song for a perfect movie. I remember I saw DD 3 times at the teather. Of course I bought the album after I watched it for the first time. The time of my life and hungry eyes, man! But the whole album is super good. I've had the time of my life went on many, many mixed tapes =) And, OF COURSE, I had a crush on baby, who didn't? One thing I've been meaning to say. When you talk about charts positions, you always mention so many countries but never Mexico. Although we speak Spanish we are a huge market for music. All those great stars came to Mexico to do TV shows and concerts because of huge sales they had here (and still have).

[@cyndifoore7743]

After watching this video about how this song came to be I have to give my pov. I grew up in the 60’s, i listened to my older sister’s music from the 50’s ie: the Chiffon’s, Shirelles, etc. My older brother loved Motown, the Righteous Brothers, James Brown and the Temptations, who was the first group I ever saw in concert. I’ve always loved Bill Medley’s voice, all us girls did. So for me, this song brings back a lot of nostalgia but also, I have to agree while watching this video, when one of the guys said they thought that Patrick Swayze was part of the pull I have to agree. Patrick was such a nice guy, you never heard any nasty gossip about him, and he was so talented. Plus, the way Patrick died so young, far before his time is so sad. When Patrick was mentioned I started crying, my husband died of the same nasty cancer. This song touches my heart in so many ways.

[@louisflege3741]

One of my favorite soundtracks and also a favorite movie to watch. Great music all around, except for the Blow Monkeys, didn't care for them, really.
