"Ill Wind (You're Blowin' Me No Good)" is a song composed by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Ted Koehler.

It was written for their last show at the Cotton Club in 1934 and was sung by Adelaide Hall[1] In an interview, Adelaide Hall explained how she performed the song to great effect during the show: I starred in the Cotton Club Parade where I sang "Ill Wind," which Harold Arlen had written for me.

The melody came to Arlen while he was visiting Anya Taranda, then a model who later became his wife.

[3] The song is also featured in the 1984 Francis Ford Coppola movie The Cotton Club sung by the actress Lonette McKee.

McKee plays a character with similarities to Adelaide Hall in real life.
