One of the many great songs off the Dirty Dancing soundtrack from 1987-'88. This one song brought Carmen - a very talented but under-rated singer & songwriter - back to life after he seemed to have fizzled out. Here's the video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNwEut9qVCc |

This is okay but it really doesn't rank for me in Carmen's catalogue, especially if his Raspberries and other earlier works are included.

make me lose control was hotter I liked "Lose Control" just as well. It was definitely a summer-sounding song; and its release was timed perfectly because it hit #3 in the summer of '88. |

Awesome song. One of the better soundtrack songs of the 80s.

Decent song, but as some have said, Eric has better songs, especially with the Raspberries

Me too- I always think of Penny and Baby dancing together, in their leotards.  |

A classic 80's cheese. Man there were numerous great songs on that movie.

This song was an 80s gold staple on the AC stations. I also remember an M&M's commercial a few years ago that used this song. Didn't like it as much when I was younger but I didn't hate it either. It's decent and can tolerate it. Since I started to listen to old 70s/80s episodes of "American Top 40 with Casey Kasem", I started to hear more of Carmen's other songs and my favorite from him is his 70s hit "All By Myself".

Brilliant '80s record. He gave us that one-two punch of "Hungry Eyes" and "Make Me Lose Control" in 1988.
