(Redirected from Wayward Wind)
The Wayward Wind is a popular song.
It was written by Stan Lebowsky and Herb Newman.
In 1956 versions were recorded by Gogi Grant, Tex Ritter, and Jimmy Young, of which Grant's was the biggest seller in the United States and Ritter's in the United Kingdom. The song reached #1 on the Cash Box chart, which combined all recorded versions, but must have gotten most of that popularity from the Gogi Grant version, which reached #1 on the Billboard chart on its own.
In 1961 Gogi Grant's recording was reissued and reached #78 on the Cash Box charts. That same year, Patsy Cline made a recording, which did not chart.
In 1963 a new recording was made by Frank Ifield, which reached #1 on the UK charts.
