Classics IV, later referred to as Dennis Yost and Classics IV, were a soft Southern rock band out of Jacksonville, Florida, known for such hits as “Spooky,” “Stormy,” “Traces,” and “Every Day With You, Girl.” They released five and a half albums (they shared credit with The Mamas & The Papas on the half) between 1968 and 1973. This is from their 1968 debut album Spooky.
Thanks John – I hadn’t heard of the group … but enjoyed this take … as Willowdot says: distinctive. Stay safe – Hilary

Really? They were really big in the late ’60’s, in Chicago, anyway. Depending on where you lived they might not have been that big a deal.

I never heard of this song but I like it. It’s gritty and blues inspired to me

They were generally a soft rock band, but they could put in gear when they wanted to.

They were a great group during their time. I’ve always liked “Spooky”.

That was a good one. All their hits were good, and so were a few of the album cuts.

They were a good band. Before he died, Dennis Yost (lead singer) made a lot of appearances at oldies concerts.
