Dennis Yost and the Classics IV had a hit of Stormy in the 60's. I have the 45 single of it. This song 24 Hours Of Loneliness was the flip side. It is a very good song. I would love to introduce folks to it. Alot of the times the flip sides were really good. And this is one example of it. Sadly Dennis Yost recently passed on and this video is a tribute to him. He will be missed. God Bless Dennis Yost. We love the 60's and 70's music! This video is done for fun and not for profit. No copyright infringement is intended. Enjoy!. + Informações

This is my take on the great song "Stormy" by the Classics IV featuring Dennis Yost from 1968. It has a very jazzy feel to it and the guitar chords are a big reason why. Playing this with a Gibson 335 through a Fender Supersonic head/cab. www.facebook.com. + Informações

This is the one of the greatest Four Seasons knockoffs ever, and it was their people who forced Capitol to stop promoting the record and remove it from stores, preventing it from even cracking the hot 100. Luckily that didn't stop the group from shooting to fame a few years later as the Classics IV. This tune and several other early Capitol recordings can be found on Taragon Records' Dennis Yost & The Classics IV cd as well. One last piece of trivia, this record was written by the legendary Joe South! You can hear great tunes like this one live every night on www.topshelfoldies.com!. + Informações

In my opinion this is one of Dennis' finest recordings. The lyrics speak to all who've "been there".. + Informações

The second Capitol release by Dennis Yost and The Classics IV 1967. Even though their first record was protested by the Four Seasons, Capitol released this one as the A-side anyway. One of Dennis' favorites.. + Informações

THIS WAS THE GROUP'S FINAL ENTRY INTO THE BILLBOARD TOP 40. THE SONG PEAKED AT #39. LYRICS: It was just a passing thing I dug her and she dug me Nothing binding So it came as no surprise When she left without goodbye I didn't mind it Like I've heard it Said a hundred times All is fair in love and war So what am I crying for What am I crying for She was just another girl Like a million in the world Nothing special Kept me warm when I was cold Drove the devils from my soul Now I bet she'll Find the going rough And she'll get enough And come back Knocking at my door So what am I crying for What am I crying for What am I dying for She meant nothing to me I like being free Guess I'll find somebody new It's an easy thing to do That's for certain I'm not sorry that she's gone It's not sad to be alone And I'm not hurting Now and then She doesn't cross my mind And every night I never walk the floor What am I lying for (What am I lying for) (What am I dying for) (What am I crying for) (What am I crying for) (What am I crying for). + Informações

A nice tune, flawless Buie-Cobb production too frequently overlooked. Dennis obviously felt this lyric.. + Informações

Yost's version of the Billy Joe Royal hit. Dennis and BJ shared the same publisher, Bill Lowery Music in Atlanta.. + Informações

I am sad to report than Dennis died yesterday morning. He was a great talent, and had a fantastic voice. Here is a scarce video of The Classics from 1966 lip-synching their wonderful Capitol release "Pollyanna".. + Informações

A Buddy Buie-JR Cobb composition from MGM in the early 70's. Very pronounced country flavor!. + Informações

One of the last singles to have Classics IV on the label. Note too that this tune was written by Buie, Nix, and Daughtry who, along with JR Cobb would form the Atlanta Rythm Section the following year.. + Informações

I once said Dennis never did a bad record, but this cut may come terribly close!! In fact, when the album was re-released later, this song was NOT on it! From 1968.. + Informações

Hard to believe this hasn't been posted yet! A "Classic" Yost tune!!. + Informações

Written by Buddy Buie and Bobby Goldsboro. Goldsboro also recorded this song.. + Informações

I'm seeing the upside of Ramirez guitars as never before-especially the George Harrison Model.. It has a very intimate, expressive sound to me.. But really. it's the song, and the smoky, intoxicating voice of Dennis Yost. Unfortunately, it's my voice on this version.. I hope you'll listen and enjoy nonetheless... + Informações

Los Angeles voice actor and impressionist Jeff McNeal salutes the original version of "Stormy", made popular by Dennis Yost and the Classics IV around 1968, if memory serves. This is my first attempt at covering a Clasics IV song. I was very saddened to learn that Dennis Yost passed away in December, 2008 at the age of 65. RIP to a great, great voice.
