Cast Your Fate to the Wind

Cast Your Fate to the Wind

"Cast Your Fate to the Wind" is an American pop standard written by Vince Guaraldi, with lyrics by Carel Werber, which won a Grammy Award for Best Original Jazz Composition in 1963. The song has been extensively covered, often by easy listening groups such as Sounds Orchestral (who scored a #10 US pop chart and #1 US Easy Listening chart hit with the tune in 1965) and the West Coast folk-rock band We Five. The song was also featured on Guaraldi's own album featuring his versions of music from the film "Black Orpheus".

This song was also translated into Spanish and sung by Alberto Vasquez ("La Voz de Mexico"). It was titled "Lanza Tus Penas al Viento." It was recorded in 1965 at Musart recording studios in Mexico City. The inspiration came following a trip Alberto Vasquez made to Los Angeles, CA in late January/early February of that year. He himself worked on the Spanish lyrics. This song was a favorite of Alberto.
