Wild Is The Wind / No Love (But Your Love)

Released by Columbia Records in 1957, this single features Johnny Mathis performing the title track 'Wild Is the Wind,' which was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington for the film of the same name. Mathis recorded the song shortly after the film's production, and his dramatic, emotive delivery became one of the definitive interpretations of the standard, helping to solidify his status as a premier vocalist during the late 1950s.

The B-side, 'No Love (But Your Love),' complements the main track with a characteristic mid-century pop arrangement. The session captures the lush, orchestral production style typical of Columbia's releases under the guidance of producers like Mitch Miller. While 'Wild Is the Wind' later gained widespread cultural recognition through subsequent covers by artists like Nina Simone and David Bowie, the 1957 Mathis recording remains a notable artifact of his mid-career success and the cinematic influence on popular music at the time.
