I remember Steve Alaimo on "Where The Action Is" My favorite versions of this song is Vince Guaraldi and The We Five but Steve's version is very good.

Good song, I remember this charting on our AM stations in Miami back then.

Steve Alaimo was a legend in Miami!

There is a little creature in the ocean called a 'By-the-Wind Sailor'.

It is like a small jelly fish without much 'jelly'. It has a sail, and the sail sits on on a tiny platform, like that of a boat. I love to see them, and always think of this song when I do.

By-the-wind Sailor, Velella velella

He sang this song on Dick Clarks "Where the Action Is" and that was the only time I ever heard it, good song

@Boomer1947 You may also recall that Steve Alaimo was the host of "Where the Action Is."

Shelby Flint also does a nice vocal version of this, although I can't find it on You Tube.

I've never heard a vocal version of Cast Your Fate to the Wind, never knew there was one. I really like it. Of course Vincent Guaraldi's version is still the best. But thanks for sharing this version.

@rwm1  Yes, but the Sounds Orchestral version is amazing too.

[rwm1]

@fanchbrezoneg No arguement there.

[fanchbrezoneg]

@rwm1 Why did you say that ? Go on Deezer or Music me, you have other vocal versions :) 

[rwm1]

@fanchbrezoneg I meant I also agree that Sounds Orchestral was also very good.
