DWTS Offers Swayze Tribute

Patrick Swayze, a "friend" of the series, was honored on last night's results show

Share

(Newser) – Patrick Swayze’s life—and moves—were celebrated by six of the pros on last night’s Dancing With the Stars. Swayze’s own “She’s Like the Wind” started off the medley, followed by “Unchained Melody” from Ghost and, of course, “Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing for the grand finale—complete with the infamous lift, E! notes. Watch the video at left.
