Gogi Grant, RIP

Gogi Grant, The Queen of “The Wayward Wind,” Has Passed Away »

 

Didn't know she was still with us. A long life for a lovely lady!

 

R.I.P.
What a great voice she had. I still remember when "The Wayward Wind" came out, I was nine years old.

 

ah bugger. Glad she made it to that age. Good on her. 'the wayward wind' will always be her song.

 

One of the first 45 rpm discs I bought with my own money. Loved them french horns, great gimmick + she was a bit of a babe.

 

Haven't heard much else by her, but what a song to have given the world!

RIP

 

Wow, I was three and I'm old. RIP

 

A sad loss, Gogi Grant made some very nice records. "The Wayward Wind" will be her song forever.

 

A part of the soundtrack to my childhood. RIP

 

One of the first songs I recall hearing as a child.....RIP

 

I was 5 when WW came out. Left a lasting impression. RIP

 

St. Louis used to have WHRT.
I'd listen to it about 25 years ago and hear all those old songs, and The Wayward Wind was often played.
I always looked forward to it.

 

Been in my collection for a while. Era Records CD release by way of K-tel. ​

 

Her hit The Wayward Wind is immortal. I didn't know how much it resonates with many, until Neil Young covered it.

 

Me too!

 

I agree. I believe "The Wayward Wind" was one of the first songs that I have a memory of as a child, and probably THE first one. It's between this one and "The Higher Up the Berry Tree".
I would have been 4 or 5 years old depending on when in 1956 the record was released.
I liked her record then, and I still like it now, so RIP Gogi, and thanks for getting me started.

 

Iirc the song was re-released circa 1961 and charted again....

 

The ERA masters are owned by K-Tel

 

This is true

 

Respect !
RIP.

 

Rest in peace. Wayward Wind was (count 'em) 60 years ago! It was a little before my time, but the Frank Ifield hit version in '63 sure wasn't. As usual, it was a while before I found out it was a cover.

 

great song! R.I.P...

 

A huge portion of Frank Ifield's work consists of covers.

 

Very sad...

 

I can't believe I listened to that song a few times on a 50s compilation Thursday night. I did not know she passed.
