"Windy" is a pop song written by Ruthann Friedman and recorded by the Association. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1967, becoming the group's second U.S. No. 1 hit following "Cherish" in 1966. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 4 song for 1967. The lead vocals were sung primarily by guitarist and new band member Larry Ramos along with vocalist Russ Giguere (both would sing lead together in the band's last Top 40 hit "Time for Livin'"). Ramos, who was of Filipino descent, was one of the few Asian-American lead singers at the time to have a number one hit single. Friedman was introduced to the Association by her friend and Beach Boys lyricist Van Dyke Parks. She wrote "Windy" in waltz time, but the group's producer Bones Howe changed it to the more common 4 to ensure the song's commercial appeal. Friedman had written the song about a man but the Association changed the gender in the lyrics. In an interview with Songfacts, she said: I have heard so many different permutations of what the song was about. Here is the TRUTH.
