 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. They 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.
The film's soundtrack started an oldies music revival,  and demand for the album caught RCA Records by surprise.  The Dirty Dancing album spent 18 weeks at number one  on the Billboard 200 album sales charts and went platinum  14 times, selling more than 32 million copies worldwide.  It spawned a follow-up multi-platinum album in February 1988,  entitled More Dirty Dancing.
Songs from the album that appeared on the charts included:
"(I've Had) The Time of My Life,"  performed by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes,  composed by Franke Previte, John deNicola, and Donald Markowitz  – this song rose to No. 1 on the pop charts.
"She's Like the Wind," performed by lead actor Patrick Swayze,  composed by Swayze and Stacy Widelitz;  this song peaked at No. 3 in 1988.
"Hungry Eyes," performed by Eric Carmen,  composed by Franke Previte and John deNicola;  this song peaked at No. 4 in 1988.
"Yes," performed by Merry Clayton,  composed by Neal Cavanaugh, Terry Fryer, and Tom Graf;  this song peaked No. 45 in 1988.
Additionally, the resurgence in popularity of the oldies  contained in the movie led to a re-release  of The Contours' single "Do You Love Me."  "Do You Love Me" was featured in the movie  but was omitted from the original soundtrack;  it was included on More Dirty Dancing.  Upon being re-released, "Do You Love Me"  became a surprise hit all over again,  this time peaking at No. 11 (it originally hit No. 3 back in 1962).
