[Let the] Four Winds [Blow]: In January 1955, the reigning king of New Orleans R&B production, Dave Bartholomew, cut a song called "Four Winds". It was a typical classic New Orleans R&B effort written by Bartholomew and Fats Domino, but it never gained any major exposure. In 1957, Roy Brown revived a version that reached No. 29 on pop charts and stayed there for 15 weeks. Fats Domino's 1961 version reached No. 15 on the charts.The original version of course was not a Bartholomew original. He borrowed the melody of the Black spiritual, "Let the Church Roll On". [Let the fours winds blow/let 'em blow,blow, blow/From east to the west/I love you the best....]
