Customer Rating: 
Summary: Amazon Is A Ripoff
Comment: Watch out. You don't get all the songs on the album when it downloads. Of course you can't contact anyone at Amazon,so buyer beware.
Customer Rating:
Summary: missed song
Comment: I loved this cd. One quesation. Why was Lover Boy by Slivia and Micky left out. Just trying to find out why or where I can get it. Otherwise the cd is one of the greatest!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Full of classics
Comment: This has a mix of 50s, 60s, 70s, and early 80s music. My personal favorites are "In the Still of the Night" and "The Time of my Life." My friend Michelle sang "The Time of my Life" and I always think of her when I hear that song. This is a classic album for people of all generations.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the greatest movie soundtracks ever (from one of the best 80s flicks ever)
Comment: The soundtrack to this unforgettable and heartwarming story has several of the great oldies of the 60s, but is more strongly anchored in my opinion by the the likes of Eric Carmen (Hungry Eyes), Tom Johnston (Where Are You Tonight), Merry Clayton (Yes) and that beloved, unforgettable duet between Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life". Either way you look at it, rarely will you find so many great songs on the soundtrack of the same movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: one of best songs of the past 50 years
Comment: The soundtrack of the enchanting movie is also enchanting. The mesmerizing and magical "Time of My Life" is one of the best songs of all time, and the other choices are almost as good. If you've never heard it, you are in for a treat, but there are few left in that category. Good to have a copy of your own to listen to at wim.

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 Patrcik 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
