INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW ORLEANS R&B SONG "LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW"

From  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfjI8BXi8cI&ab_channel=the45prof

1st RECORDING OF: Let The Four Winds Blow (as 'Four Winds') - Dave Bartholomew (1955)

the45prof, Jul 8, 2019

"Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bartholomew was an influential New Orleans-based musician, bandleader, arranger, record producer, and co-writer with Fats Domino of some 40 song hits. Dave’s version of this tune didn’t create a stir in 1955, but it would provide hit material for both Roy Brown in 1957 https://youtu.be/ZOyBJeYzqAA and Fats in 1961https://youtu.be/DGoSPqLUais .

The original single was issued on Imperial 5350 - Four Winds (Bartholomew-Domino) by Dave Bartholomew, recorded March 15, 1955 "

Click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVwFpdvls60&ab_channel=JazzEveryday%21 for a sound file of "Let The Four Winds Blow" performed by Fats Domino.  

Here's an excerpt about Fats Domino's recording of "Let The Four Winds Blow" from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ6Ny4VCSpM&ab_channel=OfficialFATSDominoFANSITE
… "After "Walking To New Orleans"'(6) and "My Girl Josephine"(14), this was his biggest smash in the 60's.

Entering the POP-charts on July 24, 1961, it peaked at POS. 15 ("Three Nights A Week"and equalled that POS. but the b-side spent a week less). "Blow" spent 11 weeks on the charts, making it his very last TOP-20 hit.

On the R&B-charts things went even better. It debuted on July 31, 1961 and reached POS. 2(!), making it his very last blockbuster on that chart. It stayed 12 weeks on the charts."

Both Dave Bartholomew (December 24, 1918 – June 23, 2019) and Fats Domino (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) were African American.

Click https://genius.com/Fats-domino-let-the-four-winds-blow-lyrics for the lyrics to the song "Let The Four Winds Blow". Here's the "let the four winds blow" verse that is found several times in that R&B song:

"Let the four winds blow
Let 'em blow let 'em blow
From the east to the west
I'll love you the best"
-snip-

Notice that very similar verses are found in "Four Winds" military cadences.

Also, read my comment below for a similar verse that is found in a university stomp and shake cheerleading cheer. It's more likely that that cheer has its source in these "Four Wind" military cadences, but those cadences ultimately can be sourced to the 1955 "Let The Four Winds Blow" R&B song.

LYRICS FOR THIS VERSION OF "FOUR WINDS" (also known as "LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW" or  "LET 'EM BLOW')

Let em blow, let em blow
Let the 4 winds blow
From the east to the west
The mighty Navy is the best

Standing tall and looking good
Ought to march in Hollywood
Hold your head and hold it high
division/unit/fleet number is marching by

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Hey hey hey
Oh oh oh oh

Dress it right and cover down
40 inches all around
6 to the front, and 3 to the rear
That's the way we do it here

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Hey hey hey
The U.S. Navy is the best

Qris Davis shared the words to this version of this cadence in response to this request:

Sarah McKenzie, 2017
"My daughter has been tasked with learning this cadence for her NJROTC program.  I don't give her access to the internet due to... well the world today to be honest.  Could you provide me with your lyrics?  I don't know that you will see this but it's worth a shot.  Thanks, Mama of a future Airman!!!"
