Franke Previte was supposed to sing "Hungry Eyes" for the movie

The following interview of Franke Previte -- who created the songs "Hungry Eyes" and "Time of My Life" -- is superb. He tells about his entire career as a performer and creator of songs.


I was most interested by a segment, which begins at about 31:00, in which he tells how he was supposed to record his song "Hungry Eyes" for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack but then was replaced one day before his recording by Eric Carmen.

In the above interview, Previte mentions that he uploaded his demos of the two songs onto his Facebook page, Dirty Dancing Demos. I scrolled down the page for a long way, looking for the two demos, but I gave up looking for them.
