Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

Lily Kershaw Dream a Little Dream of Me The Music's for the Sad Man 2019
Laura Nyro & Labelle The Wind Gonna Take a Miracle 1971 Fabulous collaboration. It's easy to think that Laura Nyro's legacy would be even larger if she hadn't succombed to cancer in 1997; she was only 50 years old at the time.
The Isley Brothers Summer Breeze, Pts. 1 & 2 3+3 1973 Ernie Isley sounds a lot like Carlos Santana on this track! In fact, the Isley Brothers and Carlos Santana made an album together in 2017!
Penny Goodwin Slow Hot Wind Portrait of a Gemini 1974 Henry Mancini tune whose title is Lujon. Lryics by Norman Gimbel, who also wrote the English lyrics of many of the most famous Samba songs like The Girl from Ipanema.
Dede Priest Dandelion in the Breeze Kinky at the Root 2011
Peggy March Der Sommerwind Laß Mir Meine Träume 1966 Here's something I didn't know: This was originally a German song written Heinz Meier and Hans Bradtke. Johnny Mercer wrote the English lyrics, and Sinatra's version is of course the most famous. Peggy March is best known for the 1963 single "I Will Follow Him," which was released when she was just 14 years old. She struggled to find success as music tastes changed in the mid-1960s and ended up moving to Germany in 1969 where she had a successful career, finishing second in the German Eurovision competition twice. She moved back to United States permanently in 1999, and she just finished writing her autobiography.
