Soundtrack: ‘Dirty Dancing’ With Joanna Robinson

Joanna Robinson joins Yasi to break down one of the defining soundtracks of the ’80s: Dirty Dancing. They get into the real-life tension between Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze that became undeniable on-screen chemistry, the soundtrack’s seamless blend of ’60s nostalgia and ’80s pop hits, Swayze’s surprise turn as a recording artist with the hit song “She’s Like the Wind,” and how the music helped transform a modestly budgeted film into a full-blown cultural phenomenon.
