1951 - They Call the Wind Maria - Paint Your Wagon

Features:

"They Call the Wind Maria" is a popular song written by Alan Jay Lerner (lyrics) and Frederick Loewe (music). The song, often with a "folk" or "cowboy" flavor, was written for the 1951 Broadway musical Paint Your Wagon, set during the California Gold Rush, starring Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin, & Jean Seberg. The name "Maria" (often pronounced "Mariah" / ma-rye-ah) was inspired by George R. Stewart's 1941 novel Storm, which popularized naming storms after women. The song became a "runaway hit" in 1951.  Paint your Wagon is famous for its depiction of a male-dominated mining camp and its longing for female companionship, which the song highlights.
