Gone with the Wind is a 1937 popular song written by Allie Wrubel (music) and Herb Magidson (lyrics). It was released as a single by Horace Heidt and his Brigadiers and reached No. 1 in 1937. The tune has since become a jazz standard and has been recorded by many artists, including Billie Holiday, Julie London, Art Tatum, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Dave Brubeck and Wes Montgomery. The sheet music notes that it is based on Margaret Mitchell's novel and the film Gone with the Wind, though it is not part of the 1939 film's score. It is generally regarded as a pop standard with strong jazz influences, and while it was not released on a specific original album, it appears on numerous albums and compilations. The lyric imagery evokes love that burns bright then fades, echoing the Tara and wind story from the source material.
