Letra

Wind wind blow oooooh oooh blow wind wind
When the cool summer breeze
Sends a chill down my spine
And I long for my love's sweet caress
I know she is gone but my love lingers on
In a dream that the wind brings to me
I remember as we kissed in the cool summer breeze
As she lay warm and tender in my arms
Darlin, when a star falls I wish for you;
And darlin', when I see lover's making love I long for you ...
And when the sun and the stars are shinnng above the mountains and the valleys,
Then darlin I look for you;
And even until the heavens above can no longer shine,
Even until then I shall still love you.
I know she is gone but my love it lingers on
In a dream that the wind brings to me.

Curiosidades

“The Wind” foi lançada em 1954 como o lado A do segundo single de 45 rpm do Nolan Strong & The Diablos, com “Baby Be Mine” no lado B, pela Fortune Records.

A canção descreve a sensação de sentir o vento de verão enquanto o narrador pensa na amada que o deixou, trazendo uma atmosfera típica do doo‑wap da época.

Apesar de ser o único sucesso nacional da banda, “The Wind” garantiu ao grupo reconhecimento duradouro, sendo listada em 2007 pelo Metro Times como a 11ª melhor música de Detroit na lista “The 100 Greatest Detroit Songs”.

Embora outras faixas do grupo, como “Mind Over Matter” (1962), tenham alcançado o topo das rádios locais de Detroit, “The Wind” permanece a única gravação que transcendeu o mercado regional e chegou ao público nacional.
