About The Record:

People of the South Wind was a progressive rock single recorded by Kansas and written by Kerry Livgren for their 1979 album Monolith. People of the South Wind takes a greater pop approach than other Kansas songs to appeal to a larger audience. The single brought the group modest success, as it peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's lyrics focus on the Kaw people for whom the state of Kansas is named: in the Kansa language, the tribe's name roughly translates as "People of the South Wind".
