She's Like the Wind -- Cover

"She's Like the Wind" is a 1987 hit pop/rock song performed by actor Patrick Swayze featuring singer Wendy Fraser

Swayze and Stacy Widelitz co-wrote the song in 1984, originally for the soundtrack of Grandview, U.S.A.. However, the song was not used in that film. During production of Dirty Dancing in 1986, Swayze played the demo for the producers and director. They loved it and passed it on to Jimmy Ienner, the soundtrack's executive producer. It was recorded for the soundtrack in November 1986, with Michael Lloyd producing. The song, like the film in which it was featured, was a success, reaching #3 on Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on Adult Contemporary, and was a hit around the world. It is still in circulation on radio. The soundtrack album was #1 for 19 weeks.

The music video in black and white features clips from the movie Dirty Dancing and overlaid images of Patrick Swayze and Wendy Fraser. The video can be seen on the Ultimate Dirty Dancing DVD.

The song was later covered by Vibekingz featuring Maliq, Phonekillaz, and Patrick Nuo, and in 2007 by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine, released on Lumidee's album Unexpected.
The Vibekingz version reached #2 on Germany's pop charts in 2006, and stayed in the top ten for two months. The version by Lumidee received widespread airplay in the United States, reaching the top 20. Tony Sunshine sings the original part by Swayze, while Lumidee raps with original verses related to the theme of the song.
David Hasselhoff also covered "She's Like the Wind", releasing it in his greatest hits album after a successful spell in Germany.
A mashup song and video of "She's Like the Wind" with "Minimal" by Pet Shop Boys has been a featured video on YouTube.
Girls Aloud covered "She's Like the Wind" in the Dirty Dancing Medley on their The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits Tour, it was Kimberley Walsh's solo.
Ultrabeat covered the song on their 2008 album, Discolights: The Album.
Jan Wayne covered it on his album Back Again.
Most recently Elina Rakhlin and SOS Music and The motnahP Conceptualized and Remixed "She's like the wind" for Patrick Swayze's Fight that he's been going through with Cancer.


She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
(She's like the wind)
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind
