TUESDAY is SONG DAY: I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE

This song from DIRTY DANCING won the Oscar and Golden Globe in 1987 for Best Original Song.
Composed by Franke Previte, John DeNicola, and Donald Markowitz and recorded by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.  It was selected to be the finale song in Dirty Dancing by choreographer Kenny Ortega and his assistant Miranda Garrison (who also played Vivian in the film.)  Thank you wikipedia.

Sometimes magic happens on film.  An artist is cast in the perfect role tailor made for them.
Patrick is in his prime in this film.  His is an amazing performer and will forever be remembered for his famous line, "nobody puts baby in a corner."

Song Lyrics - (I've Had) The Time of My Life

Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
