Blowin' In The Wind

Composer: Bob Dylan
Inspired by the Peter, Paul and Mary version.

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released as a single and on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".[2]
In 1994, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked number 14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Blowin’ In The Wind” has been covered by hundreds of artists, notably amongst them include: Sielun Veljet, Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton and “Peter, Paul and Mary”.

Other Cover versions of note include:

"Blowin' in the Wind" has been covered by hundreds of artists. The most commercially successful version is by folk music trio Peter, Paul and Mary, who released the song in June 1963, three weeks after The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was issued. Albert Grossman, then managing both Dylan and Peter, Paul and Mary, brought the trio the song which they promptly recorded (on a single take) and released.[23] The trio's version, which was the title track of their third album, peaked at number 2 on the Billboard charts.[24] The group's version also went to number one on the Middle-Road charts for five weeks.[25]
• Other notable covers include those by Sielun Veljet, who released it as a single, and Stevie Wonder, whose version became a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966[26] The Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' version appears on their album Blow in the Wind, a play on the title of the song.
• Tore Lagergren wrote lyrics in Swedish, "Och vinden ger svar" ("and the wind gives answer"), which charted at Svensktoppen for two weeks in 1963, first as recorded by Otto, Berndt och Beppo, peaking at number 8 on October 12, and by Lars Lönndahl during November 9–15 with sixth and seventh position.[27] Both were released on single A-sides in 1963. This version was also recorded by Sven-Ingvars as the B-side of the single "Du ska tro på mej", released in March 1967.[28] With these lyrics, the song also charted at Svensktoppen in 1970, with Michael med Salt och peppar.[29]
• Dolly Parton recorded the song for her 2005 covers album Those Were the Days.
