One of Kai Hyttinen's biggest hits was his 1970 single "Tuulen tie" (The way of the wind). The driving up-beat melody, Juha Vainio's lyrics and Kai's pleasant delivery made this song an instant hit. The original song was of German origin. It was a small hit in 1969 for a German pop- and schlager star Peter Rubin (b. Peter Kohlhuber), who was born in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Because of his height, Peter was given the ironic nickname "The Greatest Pop Singer of Germany".

Kiitos tästä helmestä !
Tuulen tie on aina ollut yksi suosikeistani ja tämä alkuperäinen on ollut todella vaikea löytää, eikä sitä ole juurikaan Suomessa soitettu.

That's true... I've been searching the original for 25 years....
From Kuju's recored I've known the original title, but if you don't know performer too....
It is very hard to find the song you're longing for...Kuju was at his best in the early 70's and this was one of his greatest sons, he ever made. After following your blog I wonder... Is any good Finnish hits ever originated from Finland... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj2OpI2MsMo <- check this...
