One of my best friends of all time turned me on to this tune several years ago when I was struggling over a life decision. He literally sat me down and demanded I hear it. We listened to it 3 times. I loved it. So I took the advice. My road took me far... To my good friend Jarratt Powell 1958 -- 2000
Yes I was introduced to this song when I was a young Christian at 19 years old. Not knowing which road to take, but trusted God who led me to my husband. He also loved this group and saw them in person at the Huntington Pier in the 70’s. He told me about them in 1988 when got married! You’ve got to Follow your Road and maybe your road will take you Far Away, follow your way back home,,,
Wow, that touches me very much. I'm glad that it has personal meaning for you and though your post is a couple of years old i sincerely hope your doing well.
My late husband and I heard this song when it came out years ago, became fans of Seawind - went to see them at a jazz club called Concerts by the Sea in So California back in the late 70s. Used to play their album "Light the Light" over and over. And I agree, it's a wonderful memory of a wonderful man. How blessed we are, to have made such sweet memories.
I was introduced to see wind and this song around 78 to 81. Follow your road was in ways a guiding light for me. Learn about the band the horn section and don't stop listening 🌞🙏🙏🌞
1979 I saw SEAWIND while in the Navy in Hawaii. I have every album and FOLLOW YOUR ROAD is my favorite song. Playing this tonight in Cincinnati Ohio, I am immediately taken back riding on H-1 without a care in the world. Gospel jazz fusion. 🥰
I was turned on to this by Airman Olsen in the barracks back in the 70s. I had to get the album for myself years later. They're a group that can be listened to forever. This song had meaning to me. I believed in the lyrics. Now, at 67, the music and its lyrics still resonate with me.
They were originally called, Ox back then. My friend and I were in the clubs wherever they moved to in Waikiki. Every single weekend! Where Ox was playing, we were there. Love them!
Man those was some great shows me and my roommate Mark used to go this band at Manhattan Beach s concert by the sea we saw them every time they performed
1st of all Seawind is an Awesome Band! That being said, Pauline Wilson is a Phenomenal Singer! Pound for Pound she packs a lot of Soul in that little Body‼️👏🏿
When this song hit Hawaii it was an all time success and on their way up the ladder you could even have them play at your party's. Great time to be in Hawaii. The 70's there were the best era for me .
When I was living and playing my drums in Hawaii in the mid to late 70's I had the pleasure to see these wonderful musicians play. Pauline is such a wonderful singer.
I was six years old when I first heard this song. I remember hearing Pauline's voice and thinking that it was so pleasant. I fell in love with this song. Hard. Since then, I've been a fan of 70s and 80s jazz. So yes, this is special to me. Aside from Pauline, I so have to hand it to the Seawind brass section. Amazing!
The voice, the lyrics, the instrumentation... It all packs a huge punch. I'm *BAWLING,* just as I do every time I hear this musical treasure. Reaffirms my faith in God and humanity.
So many roads that seem to lead down to the sea, I wonder which road will be the right one for me. Others may fall away, dead ending left and right. But there is this one road that journeys far out of sight. Chorus I: Have you wondered where your road will lead you? Maybe to a bright day of sunshine, or a starry night in heaven. Or it might be you're afraid to go, afraid to go, But you've got to follow your road, or you'll never know, never know. II. We are all but travelers living in a foreign land, Just trying to find our way best as we can. Looking for an answer, trying to find some light And though we have journeyed far, it's not quite far enough.. Have you wondered where your road will lead you Maybe to a song that needs singing, or a summer rain Or it might be you're afraid to go, afraid to go, But you've got to follow your road, or you'll never know. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. And maybe someday your road will take you far away. (Interlude) You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. And maybe someday your road will take you far away. Keep following, you'll find it, And someday you will get there Don't be afraid. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road. (Song Fades)
I had the chance to sea them at a club at the Redondo beach pier (LA) when the were at the height of popularity with those of this genre of music. So glad I found them on the internet, my Lp of them was well played and then lost!
A good friend of mine, Ryan Sabate is Pauline's cousin. He's very much into music, like Pauline. We all live in Hilo, Hawaii, where Pauline currently lives. God-willing we can all get together and do some of these classic songs of Seawind! This is a GREAT song!!
This is one of those once in a lifetime songs. I used to go to a night club called Reuben's in Arcadia, CA around 1980-1981) that had a great cover band. Their lead singer frequently sang this song. I had
From a long time ago a group that set a presesnt. I know many don't know this group but they set a present. Please let them be a part of history. My life is so much better because of you. Stan.
I finally found you...outstanding vocals of Pauline Wilson's classic Follow your Road....so underrated and superb arrangement of the song ...a different kind of smooth jazz.
the name "Seawind" itself & your photos makes me want to be near the water...which is hard for us folks in Alaska right now...lol! Nice mellow choice Jazz!
I had the Seawind album (LP) when it first came out and now cannot locate it. Fortunately I had made a cassette, just found, it and I cant stop playing the song.

My late husband introduced this song to me many years ago. We had to play it on every long road trip. It's a wonderful memory of a wonderful man.
What precious memories!!!💖💖💖💖
A very beautiful way to remember a beloved spouse ♥♥♥ ‼

Thank you for shaping my childhood. I'm 41 now & still healed & encouraged by this ministry of yours. Hallelujah. Thank you. Good bless you Seawind.
I liked when Nohelani Cypriano sang this song, goose bumps.
My favorite, favorite. For 40 years t this point. It just sounds right. Nothing else needed. Just RIGHT!

Still love Pauline Wilson .. there are some videos on youtube to share ! AMEN 1978 was a great year for Spiritual music !
This is one of my alllllll time favorite songs and the group “Sea Wind” has always been my favorite group of people!! Thank you for doing this song.
This is my favorite Sea Wind song...timeless lyrics and vocal styling...Pauline Wilson...so blessed by God! Thanks for the lovely vocal!
Seawind
Still a mystery why Pauline did not make it big.
This was the class song for many a senior class in Hawaii.
My anthem for life! ❤️
When I was living and playing my drums in Hawaii in the mid to late 70's I had the pleasure to see these wonderful musicians play. Pauline is such a wonderful singer.
I was six years old when I first heard this song. I remember hearing Pauline's voice and thinking that it was so pleasant. I fell in love with this song. Hard. Since then, I've been a fan of 70s and 80s jazz. So yes, this is special to me.
Aside from Pauline, I so have to hand it to the Seawind brass section. Amazing!
Amen, I wish I knew a little more on this song as I made a huge life decision listening to this.
I must have been 13 or 14 and I was blown away. God seemed a real thing now.
This song helped to propel me into my purpose. Enough said. Peace and Love.
I love it too
Very instrumental in my faith
Another oldie that backs up my memories... Such an awesome song!
Great sounds from Sea wind and Pauline Wilson
Melba Moore you are the greatest teacher in my song… well written priestmom
The voice, the lyrics, the instrumentation... It all packs a huge punch. I'm *BAWLING,* just as I do every time I hear this musical treasure. Reaffirms my faith in God and humanity.
Hawaii born-and-raised... And now in my sixties, this song is STILL my life mantra... Always brings tears to my eyes! 😎*
I liked " the devil is a lier " but Now I got Another one 👍
What a voice ❤️
Great band and horns..rhythm ❤️
There are few songs written that could inspire at the same time entertain you. This is one of them.
So inspiring!!
Wow! I finally found the original song I fell in love with many years ago! Still hits just right!

Seawind classic! Great message in the lyrics! Great musicians and music!
Yes!

You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road.
