Patrick Swayze – She’s Like The Wind ft. Wendy Fraser

“She’s Like the Wind” – Single by Patrick Swayze featuring Wendy Fraser from the album Dirty Dancing: Original Soundtrack from the Vestron Motion Picture. Released in December 1987.

The ballad reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart.

This song features in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing in a scene where Patrick Swayze says goodbye to Jennifer Grey after their summer fling, telling her, “I’ll never be sorry.” Her reply: “Neither will I.”

Swayze doesn’t sing it on camera, making it a rare case where the star of a film soundtracks his own scene.

This wasn’t written for Dirty Dancing; Swayze wrote the song with his friend Stacy Widelitz for a movie he was shooting in 1984 called Grandview, U.S.A. Swayze had the basic chords and the opening lyrics (“She’s like the wind, through my tree…”). They hashed out the song over the next few days, but it was rejected for the film. Two years later, Swayze was working on Dirty Dancing, and he played the demo of the song for the producers, who gave it the green light. They recorded a proper version with Michael Lloyd producing, and the song became a big part of the soundtrack, which sold over 30 million copies and spent 18 weeks at #1 in the US.

The music video in black and white features clips from the movie Dirty Dancing. The video can be seen on the Ultimate Dirty Dancing DVD

“She’s Like The Wind” – melodia din 1987 a lui Patrick Swayze. Versurile sânt compuse de Patrick împreună cu Stacy Widelitz. Ei au compus melodia în 1984, cu intenția de a fi introdusă în coloana sonoră a filmului Grandview, U.S.A., și era despre rolul jucat în film de Jamie Lee Curtis. Dar melodia nu a fost folosită.

În timpul filmărilor pentru Dirty Dancing, în 1987, Patrick le-a pus un demo la producătoarea filmului, Linda Gottlieb și la regizorul Emile Andolino. Acestora le-a plăcut, și astfel, melodia a fost inclusă în coloana sonoră.

Albumul cu muzică din film, a stat 18 săptămâni pe primul loc în topul de albume.

Single-lul a ajuns până pe pe poziția a 3-a, în topul HOT 100, de la Billboard.
