"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 and his Brigadiers was a No. 1 song in 1937.[1][2]

Inspiration

Whether the title of this song was related in any way to the 1936 Margaret Mitchell novel Gone with the Wind is difficult to determine. The timing of the song's release suggests there may have been an influence, though the lyrics have no obvious connection to the subject matter of the novel. The song should not be confused with any of the music featured in the 1939 film adaptation.[3]
