Gone with the Wind (song)

"Gone with the Wind" is a popular song. The music was written by Allie Wrubel, the lyrics by Herb Magidson. The song was published in 1937. A version recorded by Horace Heidt was a #1 song in 1937. Diane E. Holloway, who has written extensively on American popular songs, indicates that the title was inspired by the 1936 publication of the novel "Gone with the Wind," and the timing indicates that this is likely. But the lyrics have no connection to the subject matter of the novel, and this song should not be confused with any of the music featured in the 1939 movie "Gone with the Wind."
