A Musical Hit
In 1987, after the film became a box office hit, the iconic anthem “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” made it to the top of the charts with over 50,000 copies sold. The song then won the seal of approval at the Grammy’s and Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes landed an award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. If that’s not enough, the Dirty Dancing writers took home the Oscar at the 1988 Academy Awards, for Best Original Song. It’s probably safe to say that that they had the time of their lives.
