The word is Wind
Song: “Wild is the Wind”
I was surprised to find that this song, written by #DimitriTiomkin and #NedWashington, was first recorded by #JohnnyMathis for the 1957 film of the same name; I think of it as #NinaSimone’s, the title track from her 1966 LP, and I still regard hers as the definitive version.
I first met this song, however, via #DavidBowie’s elegant interpretation on #StationToStation. Of course I knew plenty of #Bowie but after finding he was the favorite of an entrancing boy I met at college, I took a deep dive into the Bowie catalog, and never regretted it. He always said that this was the most romantic song in the world - sadly he said that neither TO nor ABOUT me - but as much as I love Bowie’s stately version, his delivery is mannered, arch; Nina’s wrenching delivery blows Bowie’s out of the water, while allowing me to sidestep my own gut wrenching association with the song. Thanks, Nina!
