"The Wind" is a 1954 doo-wop song by Nolan Strong & The Diablos. The song appeared originally on the group's second 45rpm single, "The Wind" b/w "Baby Be Mine" ( Fortune Records). [1] The lyrics describe a man who feels the summer wind blow as he thinks about a lover who left him. [2]
In 2007, The Metro Times listed "The Wind" at no. 11 in The 100 Greatest Detroit Songs list - which was the November 11 cover story. [3]

The Jesters reached no. 110 on the Billboard chart in 1960 with a cover of the song.[ citation needed]
Mark Sultan of King Khan & BBQ Show, recorded a version of it for the 2010 tribute album, Daddy Rockin Strong: A Tribute to Nolan Strong & The Diablos. The vinyl LP was released by The Wind Records and distributed by Norton Records. [4]
