Ultimate Dirty Dancing is one of my favourite CD's, boasting all the songs from the film Dirty Dancing, in the order they appear on the screen. It even has the group sing-song, Kellermans Anthem; despite this being perhaps the weak link of the CD, especially if you bought it for musical reasons rather than after watching Dirty Dancing, if you've seen the film no doubt you'll know the words, and find yourself singing along anyway!

If you've just watched the film and are in a dancy mood, its perfect to put on and dance to - because, as you see in the film, almost all of the songs are excellent to dance along to. Even if you dont feel like dancing, after listening to this for a while you wont be able to resist, especially if you're home alone, with no witnesses!

One track, Shes Like the Wind, is actually sung by Patrick Swayze. Not all of the songs have lyrics, there are several which are purely instrumental; merengue, trot the fox, johnnys mambo and time of my life (instrumental version) - aka tracks 3-6.

Like the film itself, you'll never get tired of this. Even generations to come, as the film will remain a classic, so too will this soundtrack. If you love the film, I'd definitely recommend purchasing this.

It does, of course, include the number one, grammy award winning single "(I've Had) the Time of my Life" by Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley. A song that if you dont recognise from the film, you probably will from a holiday advert. All in all, its an excellent collection of songs from the 60's to the 80's, and a much ordered compilation soundtrack than its predecessors. Listening to it will most definitely involve flashbacks to the film, and it does appeal to a whole realm of age groups. A must-have for any Dirty Dancing fan.

I adore DD, and was just chatting to ally about it on here today! I even made my About Me quote today a line from the film! I would laugh so much to hear the Kellermans song, I bet it doesnt have I feel pretty though or what do the simple folk do? Or I feel pretty? What do you think Daddy?

Could use a little more information on the individuality of the songs. Crimps
