I’m excited to bring you another episode from our series Revelations- where featured artists reveal rare stories about their biggest songs,
On this installment of Revelations, Just in time for Valentines Day, we speak to rock and roll hall of famer Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers and two of the songwriters behind the #1 1987 duet I’ve Had the Time of my Life. John DeNicola and Franke Previte the frontman of early 80s group Frankie and the Knockouts who had a Knockout top 10 hit in 1981 with Sweetheart.

I’ve had the Time of My life is of course the main song from the 1987 blockbuster hit Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. the Duet was sung by Bill Medley and the elegant Jennifer Warnes who of course had another number one movie hit with the late Joe Cocker “Up Where We Belong” from an office and a gentlemen. This is such a compelling story of how this song came to be, you’re going to love it.
