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

Background

Swayze and Stacy Widelitz co-wrote the song in 1984, originally for the soundtrack of "Grandview, U.S.A.". It was not, however, 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.

Music video

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.
