PATRICK SWAYZE Shes Like The Wind

She s Like the Wind is a power ballad performed by Patrick Swayze. The single reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart Swayze and Stacy Widelitz cowrote the song in 1984, originally for the soundtrack of Grandview, and was meant to be about Jamie Lee Curtis s character in the film. However, the song was not used in that film. During production of Dirty Dancing in 1987, Swayze played the demo for producer Linda Gottlieb and director Emile Ardolino. They loved it and passed it on to Jimmy Ienner and Bob Feiden, the soundtrack s executive producers. 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 number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on Adult Contemporary, and was a hit around the world. It is still in circulation on radio. The soundtrack album was number one for 19 weeks. (excerpts from wiki)
