Lyrics Eric Burdon – Winds Of Change

There are winds of changes blowing
Gathering leaves up in its path
And the people who are the leaves
Will remain in our hearts

King Elmore was born
So was Duke Ellington
Jelly Roll made love
Bessie Smith was created in heaven above
Robert Johnson sang the blues
Shick Webb did those things that only he could do
Charlie Christian started a new thing
And, oh my, how Billie Holiday could sing
Alan Freed rock and rolled
Joe Turner’s voice was very low
B.B. King wailed
Charlie Parker cried
Louis Jordan smiled
Ray Charles moaned
Chuck Berry rock and rolled
Fats Domino made me feel good
Elvis Presley did things that no one thought he could

Then came the Beatles, Rolling Stones
Whole new thing was going on
Frank Zappa zapped
Mamas and Papas knew where it was at
They all listened to Ravi Shankar
Now that we got Jimi Hendrix
We know where we are (and Louis Jordan smiled)
And the winds of change go on blowing, blowing

Winds of change keep on blowing
Winds of change keep on blowing
Bob Dylan sang about the winds of change
Blowing, it’s all blowing, the winds of change
