"(I've Had) The Time of My Life" is a song composed by Franke Previte, John DeNicola, and Donald Markowitz. It was recorded by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, after having been selected to be the finale song for the 1987 film Dirty Dancing by choreographer Kenny Ortega and his assistant Miranda Garrison (who also played Vivian in the film). Due to the massive success of Dirty Dancing, the single topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in November for one week and also went to number one on the Adult Contemporary for four weeks . In the United Kingdom the song had two chart outings. Firstly, in November 1987 after the film's initial release the song peaked at #6, and again when the film was shown on mainstream television the song reached as high as #8 (January 1991).Barry Manilow covered the song on his 2008 album of cover songs, The Greatest Songs of the Eighties.
