<P> Rehearsals for the dancing, and some filming, used music from Bergstein's personal collection of gramophone records . When it came time to select actual music for the film, Vestron chose Jimmy Ienner as music supervisor . Ienner, who had previously produced albums and songs for John Lennon and Three Dog Night, opted to stick with much of the music that had already been used during filming and obtained licenses for the songs from Bergstein's collection . He also enlisted Swayze to sing the new song "She's Like the Wind". Swayze had written the song a few years earlier with Stacy Widelitz, originally intending for it to be used in the film Grandview, U.S.A. (1984). </P> <P> John Morris composed the film's score . The lyrics for the Kellermans' song that closes the talent show were written specifically for the film and were sung to the tune of "Annie Lisle", a commonly used theme for school alma maters . Kenny Ortega and his assistant Miranda Garrison chose the song for the finale by going through an entire box of tapes, listening to each one . According to Ortega, literally the last tape they listened to had "The Time of My Life", which they saw as the obvious choice . Ienner then insisted that Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes record it . The song won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group, an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song . </P> <P> The film's soundtrack started an oldies music revival, and demand for the album caught RCA Records by surprise . According to Franke Previte, before a single had even been released, there were a million albums on back - order . The Dirty Dancing album spent 18 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 album sales charts and went platinum eleven times, selling more than 32 million copies worldwide . It spawned a follow - up multi-platinum album in February 1988, entitled More Dirty Dancing . </P> <P> Songs from the album which appeared on the charts included: </P>
