Songs About The Wind, Vol. 1

Of all the themes I've featured in my 6+ years as a music blogger, I've never done this one. Which is surprising, considering I live in an incredibly hurricane-prone part of the country and strong winds are annually on my mind (as they are currently, for obvious reasons). So when I finally got around to it, I realized there were tons of good songs that qualified. So this will be part 1 of (at least) 2. Assuming you (and I) don't blow away in this storm, I'm sure you will...enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Patrick Swayze ft. Wendy Fraser  ~  "She's Like The Wind"
