[78-L] With the Wind and the Rain...

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

I had totally forgotten about the Al Donahue Orchestra’s version of 
“With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair.” Donahue’s Vocalion orchestra 
was quite good: nice vocals, nice arrangements, and satisfying solos. 
The band is frequently dismissed by critics and it shouldn’t be.

Album-cover designer and graphic artist Paul Bacon once told me that he 
was in high school at the time “With the Wind and the Rain in Your 
Hair” was popular. “All the girls imagined themselves as the subject of 
the song,” he said. Can that be said of any pop song today?
