If film and music fans sometimes wonder why soundtracks are often little more than pastiches of past pop hits and chart flavors of the moment, it's largely due to the blockbuster success of releases like this collection from 1987's surprise Patrcik Swayze/Jennifer Grey romantic hit. The film's retro-romantic concerns came shrewdly wrapped in a (largely manufactured) dance craze conceit tailor-made for such pop chestnuts as the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," the Zodiacs' "Stay," and the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night." Mickey and Sylvia once again argued that "Love Is Strange"--if not quite as strained as Swayze's own attempt at balladry, "She's Like the Wind." Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes" showcased the former Raspberries leader to good effect, but the real soundtrack sweepstakes winner here was the Jennifer Warnes/Bill Medley duet "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." That performance not only won the Best Original Song Oscar the following year, but became one of the era's most performed songs and a ubiquitous radio staple. --Jerry McCulley

A Nice Album........2007-01-26

It really feels good to have this album. I know this should come with the hits not included in the first volume but it's nice. This is a nice addition to the soundtracks collection.

Still love the movie ... still love the soundtrack.......2006-11-03

"Dirty Dancing" is still one of my favorite movies of all time. It managed to have a plot and wonderful music. You just can't sit still when this music is playing.

Amazon.com

For those of us who grew up in the '70s, this drive-in compilation of '50s and '60s rock and doo-wop, complete with Wolfman Jack introductions, was our introduction to this music. There are 41 jukebox hits here, and every one of them is a classic of its time (although two tracks--"At the Hop" and "She's so Fine" are covers by the revival band Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids). In his 1973 movie, director George Lucas used the music (and the presence of mysterious deejay Wolfman) as the AM-radio soundtrack to one night in suburban California, 1962. The idea was to capture and sustain an end-of-summer, end-of-innocence mood that's in the air throughout the picture-- not as a shortcut to establishing a period (as in Robert Zemeckis'Forrest Gump). There's an awful lot of spontaneous energy in these tunes--from Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, to the Platters and the Clovers and the Del-Vikings, to the Crests and the Beach Boys--and also just a hint of melancholy that goes down very nicely with a burger, shake, and fries. --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews:

Music of an Entire Era.......2007-05-03

I loved the movie and I love the soundtrack. It's amazing to hear so many great songs and bands of the past all together at once.
The soundtrack truly embodies an entire era of music, the mood and feel of which anyone who listens can feel. You are drawn into it by listening and just plain feel good during it, the songs are some of the most remembered and loved of all time.
This movie started or at least kept alive that trend of letting music be another character and being a significant part of the story. George Lucas, i and I'm sure everyone else believe, accomplished his goal. To make a movie that dealt with, among other things, coming of age; and to let music be a huge part of that story. You wouldn't have American Graffiti without all of these great songs of the olden days. They made that movie great.

Gets the Party Going !.......2007-04-23

Great fun in this collection of great Classic songs.

Getting right to the point, this CD is an essential addition to any music lover's collection.
Buy it and get the party mood going ! :)

The Vestron film DIRTY DANCING is already twenty years old,in the aspect of production. August 14 marks the twentieth anniversary of its theatrical release.

Doo Wop!.......2007-05-24

Doo Wop at its best. Great voices. First two songs are hallmarks of an era.

Big Hit.......2007-05-14

This is the best of the Skyliners. If you are into doo wop and old music from the 50's and 60's, this is one for your car CD player! We have a 34 Ford 5 window coupe, and we play this while we're driving.

Great.......2007-03-09

According to my friends and myself, I'm the acknowledged "King Of The Dusties". Therefore, this kind of music is the best of the best. Some of the songs I bought during my teen years and I appreciate music like this even more after I hear what is on the air these. That, and the fact that I'm a former musician/singer, this fits my style!

SIMPLY ELEGANT.......2006-05-27

DON'T ORDER THIS RECORD BECAUSE SINCE I DONT HAVE YOU AND THIS I SWEAR ARE ON HERE. THOSE ARE ON ALL KINDS OF COMPILATIONS AND THE RADIO EVERY DAY.ITS ALL THOSE OTHER GREAT SONGS THAT YOU DONT HEAR ON THE OLDIES THAT ARE THE REAL TREAT OF THIS CD. ITS UNBELIEVABLE HOW GOOD THEY ARE, ITS HARD TO PICK ONLY ONE FAVORITE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL GREAT ARRANGEMENTS OF FANTASTIC SONGS BOTH THEIR ORIGINALS AND COVERS. JUST LISTEN TO I'LL BE SEEING YOU, BELIEVE ME, LONELY WAY, HOW MUCH, WARM, IF I CAN DREAM CANT I, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, AND STARDUST. A CD JUST DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT. BUY IT YOU WONT BE SORRY.

CLASS ACT IF EVER THERE WAS ONE........2005-03-10

Doo Wop, with its emphasis on voice as musical instrument, represents one of the most beautiful genres ever. The Skyliners exude so much feeling delivered with almost cocky confidence it's amazing. Too many white singers seem to confuse soulful singing with trying to sound black (Michael Bolton;Michael Mcdonald)and come off sounding strained. This group's soulful sound comes off its superior talent, honesty, inocence, and unapologetic white sound. Every song on this disc is a treat. By the way, I'm a black classic soul music freak.

Amazon.com

This is one of those soundtracks that may have worked better during the vinyl era. Most of the tunes here (each and every one a '50s rock classic) are likely already in the CD collections of fans of this kind of music. That's probably the case with Buddy Holly, Ben E. King, the Del Vikings (two cuts here), the Coasters, Jerry Lee Lewis, and perhaps Shirley & Lee. It's probably not true of the Chordettes' "Lollipop," but that tune is used to such great effect in this terrific flick that you may just want to watch the video again. You can't go wrong with 10 feel-good classics. --Bill Holdship

Great Songs.......2006-09-28

I listened to this soundtrack in a friend's car a couple times on a trip. The music was great! I can't wait until I buy myself the CD.

Let The Good Times Roll!.......2006-06-22

This soundtrack is easily one of the most timeless you will ever hear. From the Chordettes and "Lollipop" to Shirley and Lee "Let The Good Times Roll". This music takes you back to those warm summer nights, whether you are 12 or 62. Stand By Me is a true coming of age story, and these songs will remind you of that magical time in your life. Don't pass this one up!

Great starter set for a future rock n' roller.......2005-09-28

I loved that movie Stand By Me when I was a kid, as I was the same age as the boys in this movie and felt like I too was going on sort of a "spiritual journey" with them in the course of the movie. Years later seeing it, well, it's not the same. I've lost my innocence since then and it doesn't have the same magic it used to. The soundtrack, however, will always live in my heart.

I had never heard of any of the artists, let alone the songs, which this wonderful soundtrack included. I began to explore a world out there that I didn't know existed, the world of the past and who all these great rock n' rollers were. This soundtrack, as well as The Lost Boys soundtrack, helped mold and shape me into who I am today. For this I will always be greatful.

If you love the jukebox...........2003-11-17

A dandy of a soundtrack filled with a set of 10 songs from the era of Cadillac's and corner malt shops. It surprised a lot of people who saw the movie and bought the soundtrack that Elvis, with his fun bop or sweet croonin' would be exempt from this beauty. The stars here more than make up for his absence. The maverick of early rock, Buddy Holly, makes an appearence with his sweet "Everyday". The Del Vikings get the snappy "Come Go With Me" goin', and then smile all around with "Whispering Bells". My cousin, brother and I can't get enough of The Chordettes and "Lollipop". You gotta admit that the disc does come to an end pretty quick, and 50's tunes are usually two minutes (plus) long. At least the plate is loaded with a small but yummy helping, including the classic "Stand By Me" and The Coasters' "Yakety Yak". Though it's time limit is nowhere near the best innocence era soundtrack of them all, "American Grafitti", it would be just as good if it somehow had the same running time.

As good as the movie.......2003-06-01

Since I say the stand by me soundtrack is as good as the movie you realize there's just a word that can define it: perfect. The songs aren't just good, they're so amazing that they're visible. The images from the movie go into your head as you listen to the music and bring back all the emotions you felt while watching it. The 50's tracks are very well chosen and fit the perfection of a timeless movie.

Great Music, Crummy Packaging.......2007-03-20

As the owner of several discs in the Oldies But Goodies series for quite a number of years, I recently ordered an additional six discs to "fill in the holes" in my collection. Much to my dismay, all arrived packaged in flimsy, cardboard "albums", rather than the substantial jewel cases used for my earlier purchases. In addition, some of the color combinations used on the packages (gold on red/gold on purple) make it nearly impossible to read the artists names without holding the package under a lamp.
Try as I might, I was unable to find any information in the product details that mentioned the type of packaging. I intend to handle and play these discs for years, not just rip the songs to mp3's and load them on a hand-held player.
In the interest of full-disclosure, and to improve customer satisfaction, I believe Amazon should include product packaging information.

Bad CD copy.......2007-01-17

I played this CD and was not happy. I had to return the item becasue it skipped really bad on almost every song.

Ageless Goodies.......2006-11-10

My husband and I were high school sweethearts and these were the songs we would dance to. And like all teens back then we would rush home from school to watch American Bandstand.

excellent cd. definately get it, if you like punk remakes of classic songs. MxPx does an awesome blue moon.

I Found My Thrill~.......2006-06-23

I grew up listening to these oldies from our local radio station on a little transistor, (sister) luckily that my dad bought me in his travels, and my mom unplugged it from my ear every night!! This cd has some great oldies on it..."Bread and Butter" by the Newbeats is a classic!!!! I know my kids have gotten a kick out of that crazy, jazzy, falsetto, screeching blues voice on that rock and roll classic number as I sang along to the radio in the car~and thought I was nuts at the same time...it's in a league of its own. An early Brian Hyland is nice here, before "Illusive Butterfly of Love" fame~ My 14 year old who sings loves Paul Anka's "Put Your Head On My Shoulder"~and "Shake Rattle and Roll" was a classic Jitter Bug tune~ What is also interesting as I look at these top 10 hits is a social, cultural change...together on the charts was a beginning...people were together in their love of music. I know certain movies outlined this music era as a progressive sign of change and togetherness among people, teens, in their excitement with this music. This cd is such a nice mix with Buddy Holly's unique sound, The Teddy Bears live sound, Fats Domino's huge hit, (and used to the max on Happy Days) The Everly Brothers unforgettable harmonies everyone still loves, and all the others.... "Rama Lama Ding Dong" was the key song in "Grease" my teens know, but I want them to hear the original~As a child of the 50s and 60s, this music is as important to our roots as the newer oldies, such as the Byrds I just bought to enjoy and have my teens, who are playing guitar now, learn the roots of (my) Led Zepplin (cd they stole from me and love)~Each era builds on the last, and it's great when kids know that and enjoy the gems from each past era~I will be glad to add this to my collection as this cd is a gem~Luv to all~Keep On Rockin'

Great oldies on this CD! .......2005-08-08

This is one of my favorite oldies but goodies CD out of the collection! It contains fantastic music from the 50s and 60s, but also has a small touch from the 70s with Before the Next Teardrop Falls by Freddy Fender. Here you have such classics like Sealed with a Kiss, At the Hop,Popsicles and Icicles,and two songs that hit the top 40 on the R&B charts!

Oldies But Goodies Vol.2.......2000-06-16

I Think Oldies But Goodies Vol,2 is a classic oldies album with all the atmosphere and wonder that the 50's and 60's embodied . I would recommend this to any that loves the feel and passion that this bygone era was and ever will be.

Oldies But Goodies vol 5.......2006-11-04

If your a fan of listening to oldies you will want to get this cd for
your connection. The cd plays better than the originals on 45..
A must have for the oldies fan.

Not what I ordered.......2006-06-27

I should have read the other reviews before ordering this volume. I bought it for Cathy Young's "A Thousand Stars" and it was not on this volume. Other than that all the other songs are great.

Not the item pictured.......2006-03-23

The Cd was ok but it wasn't the exact track listing I thought I
was getting. I wanted the 40th aniversary edition but was sent the Golden aniversary edition.

It's OK but-.......2002-08-16

At least two of the songs have the wrong artist listed. If I had known that I would not have purchased the CD.

NOTE DUPLICATES!!!!.......2007-07-04

What kind of idiot put this collection together?!? SEVERAL songs duplicated from one disc to another! Buy a different collection.

Makes My Heart Ache.......2007-04-16

I grew up in San Francisco, not So Cal, but these songs remind me of not only my adolescent and teen years but my older sisters who is no longer with us. I remember being about 10 years old and her having her red radio under the bed at night and listening to these songs while she was in bed and i danced to them too.

Best Oldies of All Time ! ! Great Music ! !.......2004-02-24

Art Laobe's "60 Killer Oldies" is a 4 CD collection of some of the greatest music of all time.

One of the CD's is entitled, "Memories of El Monte: The roots of L.A.'s Rock and Roll." The first song on that CD is "Memories of El Monte." Here are just a few of the words to that song:

If they only had those dances again,
I'd know where to find you and all my old friends...

Earth angel, earth angel will you be mine at El Monte...

If we could go back to
The days of the past,

I'd show you a love
A love that would last.

O I remember those wonderful
Dances in El Monte.
In El Monte.

I grew up in the San Bernardino area and all my friends used to go to those dances at the American Legion Hall in El Monte during the 1960's. I never did get to go to any of the dances in El Monte, but had always wanted to. I always danced at the National Guard Armory in Riverside, the VFW Hall in Rialto, or the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino or the Kaiser Dome.

All of the songs on these CDs invoke emotions in me that bring both laughter and tears and they always give me a longing for the "Good O' Days." Now day it seems as though the only way to go to a dance is to go to a bar. Back then, there were dances everywhere. Bar hopping isn't my style, but I miss those old dances including the ones in peoples garages or living rooms.

Art Laboe used to be a DJ on KRLA from Pasadena. KRLA and XPRS were my two favorite radio stations. I don't even know if KRLA even exists any more since I no longer live in the Southern California area.

Anyway, the songs on these CDs remind me of the dances, the radio, my first boy friend, my first love, my marriage, my first child, and my youth. O to be young and in love again!

All of the songs are good and it's difficult to choose a single favorite, but among my many favorites are "Angel Baby," "Daddy's Home," "Dedicated To The One I Love," "Together," "Baby I'm For Real," "Natural High," "10 Commandments of Love," "I'm Your Puppet," "Confessin' A Feeling," "In The Still of The Night, and "Those Oldies But Goodies Remind Me of You." But really, I like all of the songs on this CD collection.

I give this set of CDs five stars plus plus *****++.

Simply the best ! ! !

Had them on Cassette, way back when...need to get the CD's!!.......2001-07-27

Hello....Back about 7 years ago, I got my dream car, a fire red '64 Impala. I bought all of Art's cassette that were available at the time, a must have to go along with my beautiful dream car and cruisin the streets of the Bay Area.

In the course of the last 7 years, they have either gotten worn out or just lost. I love all of these songs and reminds me of listening to my moms old record player, running around and singing songs with my brush as a microphone.

A must-have for any helpless romantic like myself.

Enjoy!!

Erasmus Hall Doo-Woppers.......2007-04-28

I went to Erasmus Hall High School with Kenny Vance. He led the boy's group of singers and I led a girl's. We sang in those wonderful resonant old marble hallways inbetween classes, going from one to the other. How fortunate we were to be there at the beginning of the Doo Wop and Rock & Roll eras! One of our classmates was Bobby Fischer, the chess genius, and another one was Barbra Streisand. They were probably the two oddest pupils in the school. Check out "Her Name is Barbra" by Randall Riese, paperback version, pgs.42-43. The OTHER Barbara

A Religous Experience.......2006-12-20

This is a religious experience! These guys are Doo-Wop saints. They sing Doo-Wop hymns. They capture it all - the sound and their story - the story of their time - 1955+.
I have not enjoyed a record this much in a very long time.

Found my Echo.......2006-11-04

I like doo wop music. I grew up with it and it really touches my heart. This CD takes me through so many of my life experiences. The group, Kenny and all the rest are like dear, close, loving friends. Their music is superb. I will buy more of their CDs. I hope they never stop their marvelous work.

FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL,.......2006-09-26

This CD is a breath of fresh air. I would Recommend it to all my friends. These guys are fantastic. It brings back memories of a simple and fun life here in America. Can't wait to get the DVD. I love all the songs, but one especially, Looking for an Echo. The CD should be a 10 stars instead of 5.

5 stars for "Looking for an Echo-cd" 1 star for Amazon's customer service.......2006-06-27

I ordered this item on 6/7/06 for my dad as a gift for Father's Day. He LOVES it. I also ordered the vhs and dvd so he can watch it anywhere. The vhs showed up right away since that was from an outside vendor. The cd got here just in time (6/15/06) since I changed my shipping method. The dvd order however, has been hanging in limbo. First I wasn't even informed of the delay until I logged on the week before father's day. Then, I realized what was up and split the order so the cd would get here on time. Had to pay extra shipping charges for this. Have contacted Amazon several times in an attempt to get credited for this since they never notified me of this delay to begin with. Have heard nothing back from them. While I'm pleased with the gift, I am not so pleased with Amazon's customer service related to this order.
