I HOPING TO GO TO A CONCERT WITH THE CLASSICS 4 AND FIVE OTHER ARTISTS IN THE TWIN CITIES, mINNESOTA 28. the Classics 4 ARE MY MAIN REASON FOR GOING. Itys too bad that Dennis Yost had to pass .We will miss his golden voice.THE OTHER artists aren't too shabby either,the Turtles,Little Anthony(no imperials which is too bad)Gary Puckett and the Union Gap,the Vogues and the Cowsills.THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THAT IS PROBABLY A TWO HOURS SHOW AND THEY PROBABLY WILL ALL ONLY PLAY BRIEFLY. IT SHOULD BE QUITE A GOOD SHOW/CELEBRATION OF FROM THAT ERA
These were my favorite songs "back in the day". They still are; I still have those 45s, and play them now and then. I was just a very young teen when I heard Spooky for the first time, on Chicago radio; rounded up a bunch of empty pop bottles, robbed my piggy-bank, and rode my bike 4 miles to the old Woolworths in nearest, small town! My 45 still has the little flower I drew on the label. There's something very special the Classics IV had....magical !
I'll be 70 in February , the 60s & 70s were the best years of my life ! The music , the respect & easy going lifestyle . Today is too fast for me , the years go to quickly ! Take Care my Friend
I was born in 1970, but I remember these songs on the radio often as a young child. My parents often played these on the Hi-Fi and in the old station wagon, we took many vacations in. So glad I inherited their record collection to keep the memories of simpler times alive and allow my son to discover these wonderful classics.
I have such fond memories of these songs from when I was a child ( born 63 here) But hearing these on the radio in the house, and outside with everyone hanging out. Musically they're beautiful; Amazing chord progressions and key changes, Dennis Yost semi husky voice, fine jazz arrangements, and I love the vibraphone if Traces.. so classy
80’s baby here and I love a ton of these older classics. I’m a musician-hobbyist, and I believe that listening to these songs have influenced my own sound.
What better to use the musical instrument with the coolest sound(the saxaphone) to augment four great songs by the the much underrated band the Classics IV.I am not saying that they are Rock and Roll or Pop music Hall of Fame worthy they have nice easy going pleasant songs but still oustanding tunes.The new lead vocalist is just okay but it would be tough to surpass the late great Denny Yost.Traces,Spooky and Stormy are their most popular songs but I still put"Everyday girl with you " as my personal favorite which is so joyful and the video that features so many pretty girls honoring them as women.
I love to hear this awesome group singing this kind of mellow sound way back sixties bring back memories tenks four this great contribution to the world of great music
I loved the melody of stormy, so dreamy, puts you in a certain mood...the singing and band was excellent, too. One of those few songs that evokes so much emotion.
RIP Dennis Yost. 🌈 🕊 Dennis had vocals so warm, rich and silky smooth. One of the greatest singers of my generation.👊 Possibly in the history of recorded music. Gold💛 Timeless 💫 True Star 🌟
1968 your bringing Me back to when I was 13 years old and the Memories long Lost 😢 what a time it was, the old beer barrel Bar pool table is now a McDonalds Restaurant In the Italian Area is now the Niagara Falls Ghetto
Simpler time? Great songs but the country was being torn apart by Race riots and the Vietnsm War and political assassinations!!.....the 60s were pretty chaotic!!
one of the GREATEST GROUPS OF ALL TIME these songs take me back to the sixty's great times en el barrio i am sitting her with my special needs daughter and she loves this group Dennis RIP.
All 3 songs pure magic!!!! Never get tired of them at all. To accomplish even one of these songs as a classic and standard is amazing but 3 of them in one year is unbelievable. Buddy Buie showed me his finished product in his studio in Doraville, Ga. "Do It Or Die" a hit too and I asked him if I showed him a great melody would he write it with me? He said yes if he liked it.
Got play with Yost for about 3 years in the Nineties it was a lot of fun backing him up and his wife Linda was a sweetheart. Got to open for a back up a lot of great entertainers because of Dennis. You never know what doors will open unless you keep on trying!
I was born in 1988 and i heard this as a kid and still love it to this day and i always thought it was sooo 😎 but that's because im an old soul i grew up on music from the 50s 60s and 70s then 80s and on because my parents were in their 30s when They had me and my dad always put it on the oldies station and i heard these songs so much i know them words verbatim
My bros in the ER after a close call, on meds, hottie nurses and all, I shared this with him just now. Told him to play it next time a hottie nurse came in…I told him to keep it down…the volume of course.
Djantbro; "Love that 60s; Pop, Rock & Soul"! Awesome! The Classics IV "Rocked! the House", with Mellow Love Songs! "Traces of Love" was my favorite Classics IV Song! I recall, listening to the '60s & '70s Pop, Rock, Soul, Folk, Jazz & Disco "Oldies" on WCBS-FM in NYC, back in the Early 1980s as a College Student; "Back-in-the-Day", Graduating in "83", from SJU; you could turn the music down low, which made studying a lot easier!.
Three home runs. A few of these guys went on to form the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Whom I saw open for Skynyrd back in the good ol' '70s! That was a Large Time indeed.
Didn't listen to it when it was out & popular. But now I've taken to really really like this two songs (spooky, stormy)traces is really a nice song too, listen 2tha lyrics. Big 🖐🏽 five, great selection. Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 For you🎁
Traces is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Interesting key changes in addition going from minor to major chords. That chord at 5:49 is dramatic and beautiful, repeats a few more times throughout the song. And despite the melancholy lyrics, there's something very assuring about the music itself.
First 3 Top 10 hits by the group.
Eu amo essa musica

Long live the 60's What a time it was for music!
😅 I was dating my boyfriend when I heard these songs
It was the BEST of times!

Best time to be on planet earth.... never to be repeated.
Yep, those days are long gone, I really do need a time machine!!!!
Have to agree, guess we had no way of knowing how good we had it.
Unless you were in Vietnam
The band I was in 1969 played this song in at Lola’s Idle Hour Inn in Grand Island New York. Loved those days!!
Hauntingly beautiful music that evokes the 1960s in some magical way.
This song has a unique perspective when you are listening to it with headphones, While you are out at night on a Twilight Fishing Trip on the ocean.
Each song brings it all back in living color! Loved those years, young and free!
This music is more than listening to,its an experience,for those who lived in the day
I WAS THERE.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
2024 and.this song is better than ever. ❤
Totally agree!
Nice sexy tune...I enjoyed a few spooky girls in my day we had great music 🎶 🎵 in the 70s
I was a Senior in Hugh School in 1969...and this was 1 of the best songs..Traces...Spooky., Stormy... the 60's and 70's Music was the Best..
Its true, please i invite you tô listen from Brasil, Búzios Beach a web rádio BBMUSIC, play Thais songs and other Nice musics. Thank you!
I was 8, and I was jealous of all "the cool kids" with the best cars of all time, grooviest chicks. What a great time to be a teenager.
I was only 9, for some reason it was the best.😊
Hugh School was a stoned trip man
Oh yes - you can't get much better than this record. 1968 was a good year for music.
Sure was. It was the year I got married, too.
I was a mear baby in the 1960s But later in the 1970s all of these Wonderful Grooves blew my mind along with the 70s Music 🎶 🎵 ❤
Husband came back Nam 1969
And crazy. Very sad
Piss poor for marriages.
Oh YES! Got that right!!

I'll be 70 in January looking back the 60s was a good time for hit songs.
I'll be 70 in February , the 60s & 70s were the best years of my life ! The music , the respect & easy going lifestyle . Today is too fast for me , the years go to quickly ! Take Care my Friend
I agree with you both!!!
I am 84 and I agree also
I will be 70 in January, too, and there was plenty of music of the ‘60s and ‘70s that, well, was best left there.
Hey I’ll be 70 in January ❤️
Such great music….never, ever gets old !!!
I'm 62 now and I grew up with this music back when america was still america. Miss those days so much.❤
It's still America.
@@geerterriyes it is 😉
Biden and it's BIDIOTS said NO
Make HALLOWEEN GREAT AGAIN
I remember those days as well! The 60s and 70s were pretty awesome now looking back!
I'm 74 and I remember all these songs back in the late 60s and 70s
73 best music ever
I'm also 74 I'm remember all of these. Great💥💥👍
I'll be 71 remember all of these loving them
Why can't Artists today(2024) do what Bands did back then...Make a memory for life....And a Summer for life!!
Bands today are in it for the money not the artistry - shame that
They don’t have any talent and so rely on electronic gimmickry to pretend they have a song.
Not sure. The world is much different. Not a lot of inspiration for beautiful songs like these I suppose.
I’m 77 years old now so I grew up with this beautiful music, the best!😊
This timeless song certainly has class.
Never tire of Dennis Yosts classics ft
RIP Dennis Yost ❤🙏✨🎷
Wow my...🙆♂️❤⚘ Who's with me in 2024 ? ❤⚘

We'll never see music like this again. Sure miss it.
Yup, love these songs! I’m 74 now so I grew up with the best music.
The late Dennis Yost's lead vocals helped define the Classic IV sound.
This song transports me back to a simpler time.
I’m 71 still loving these👍🇺🇸
Love the Sax sound

I love the groove of this song. I liked it when it came out in the 70's, or was it 60's, and I like it now in 2024.
The dates are in the description...late sixties.
I loved the melody of stormy, so dreamy, puts you in a certain mood...the singing and band was excellent, too. One of those few songs that evokes so much emotion.
Sunny.. summer warmth.. and love. All in a single package.
RIP Dennis Yost. 🌈 🕊

Mr. Yost's voice is like a diamond: so many facets....and so many colors and degrees of translucence and opacity.
I was going into my freshman year of high school when "Spooky" was a hit. Fond memories. I did think it was a black group at the time. Great song (s).
70 live alone music is my friend mind can travel freely anywhere
Me and my girlfriends listen to these songs a lot back in the 60s late 60s early 70s

Good old days
Magic Music......never ever gets old!!
1968 was full of some of the best songs ever 1:23 and for some reason - I like this song by the Classic Four - it reminds me of 1968.
I miss his voice.
Got play with Yost for about 3 years in the Nineties it was a lot of fun backing him up and his wife Linda was a sweetheart. Got to open for a back up a lot of great entertainers because of Dennis. You never know what doors will open unless you keep on trying!
GREAT music!!! but damn, were getting old lmao
I was born in 1988 and i heard this as a kid and still love it to this day and i always thought it was sooo 😎 but that's because im an old soul i grew up on music from the 50s 60s and 70s then 80s and on because my parents were in their 30s when They had me and my dad always put it on the oldies station and i heard these songs so much i know them words verbatim
Thanks Sonny Classics Iv trilogy
Just love these songs!
Their first one is a masterpiece
Very nice relaxing song. Very good rhytmic beat.
My bros in the ER after a close call, on meds, hottie nurses and all, I shared this with him just now. Told him to play it next time a hottie nurse came in…I told him to keep it down…the volume of course.
3 AWSOME SONGS what memories Thank you. 9Ball Nick
thanks you oh Lord for this great music !!!
Happy New Year 2025🎉
What a fantastic song!!!!
Djantbro; "Love that 60s; Pop, Rock & Soul"! Awesome! The Classics IV "Rocked! the House", with Mellow Love Songs! "Traces of Love" was my favorite Classics IV Song!

Songs from the soul
Those velvet vocals!!!
Three home runs. A few of these guys went on to form the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Whom I saw open for Skynyrd back in the good ol' '70s! That was a Large Time indeed.
GROOVING TO THIS
GREATEST SONG EVER ! !
Spooky...Stormy and Traces who could be that sentimental and clever...so cutting like a knife...bittersweet...❤
Beautiful, lindo demais. Este grupo fez parte da minha história de vida. Saudades eterna. Parabéns pela postagem.
Traces 💗 !
First heard the group during my college years.
Time.
Had Spooky in my 45 rpm collection. Many wanted the record but I said I’ll never give this record away ❤🙏
Had Stormy and Traces too..❤🎷🎸🎼🎹🎼🌟💎
Nice collection...good memories. Thanks for commenting.
Dancing at the school dances in the gym, in socks. Sock-hops in the '60s. Some things you never forget.
Belas canções!
Imortais!
Saudades!
"Everyday With You Girl is a wonderful song. Wish it was added in
This was a time when ☮️ and ❤️ was needed more than ever . I lived through it as a child and have memories that will never be forgotten.
✌️N❤️2ALL
Been there too ! Young Teen , Social changes , War ! But Love Is All You Need ! ☮️
The music brings you back.The Best music & the best times. The best dances. People were kind, caring & fun.Those were the days. Miss those days.
Absolutely fantastic songs for me and friends
Swifty here I was 12 in 68 the great time in music great memories
I love the voice of the vocalist... ❤🎉🥳
Didn't listen to it when it was out & popular. But now I've taken to really really like this two songs (spooky, stormy)traces is really a nice song too, listen 2tha lyrics. Big 🖐🏽 five, great selection. Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
For you🎁
Got you beat its2025!
My dreary, rainy late nite trio of tunes!🌃
Traces is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Interesting key changes in addition going from minor to major chords. That chord at 5:49 is dramatic and beautiful, repeats a few more times throughout the song. And despite the melancholy lyrics, there's something very assuring about the music itself.
Classic IV the best!!!! I’m from Perú - Lima nice remenber
3 of the greatest songs ever played in the 60s and 70s .loved listening to them back then in Jr. High school.😊
