Jennifer Jean Warnes is an American singer and songwriter. She is best known for her rich alto voice, her interpretations of work by James Taylor, Leonard Cohen, and Buffy Sainte Marie, and for her association with the soundtracks of a number of popular films during the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Her biggest hits were "Up Where We Belong" (a duet with Joe Cocker, from the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman) and "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", (a duet with Bill Medley from the 1987 film Dirty Dancing), both of which topped the Billboard pop singles chart, and the countryish "Right Time of the Night", which reached the top ten in 1977.
