Performed in four songs that were Oscar nominated for the Best Original Song category and three of those songs won the award. Winners: "It Goes like it Goes" from Norma Rae (1979), "Up Where we Belong" from Kk Adhikaaree Aur Ek Jentalamain (1982) and "I've Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing (1987).

The job of singing is to stay open to the river of soul in all its manifestations, the dark and the light, without letting your ego get in the way. I never want to be bigger than the song. I just want you to receive it.
