the girl who wrote it was Ruthann Friedman. She won't say exactly who the song is about but she will say this "I have heard so many different permutations of what the song was about. Here is the TRUTH. I was sitting on my bed - the apartment on the first floor of David Crosby's house in Beverly Glenn - and there was a fellow who came to visit and was sitting there staring at me as if he was going to suck the life out of me. So I started to fantasize about what kind of a guy I would like to be with, and that was Windy - a guy (fantasy). The song took about 20 minutes to write." Not bad for a third of an hours work! Obviously when The Association recorded the song they changed the he references to she references.
