The Classics IV

[joshferrell]

who else likes the Classics IV with Denny Yost? I think that they were great.. I really like Denny's voice, my favorite from them is "Everyday with you girl" but I also like "Sunny", "Stormy" and "Spooky" and their real sad songs they did in the 70's...any thoughts?

Stormy is one of my all-time favorites but I also really like Every Day With You Girl (love to whistle along) and their other hits. You didn't mention Traces, The Funniest Thing, Change of Heart, or What Am I Crying For, all of which I remember quite well from the glory days of AM radio. And then there's this obscure Association-sounding gem called Book A Trip:

Groovy, man, groovy!

yes I like all those songs you just mentioned .."What am I crying for" and those albums from that time period, albums like "Songs", have some very pretty stuff on them..

Very underappreciated group by the young'ns these days. Excellent band. So many great songs.

They were really great, his voice was beautiful!

When I was a kid, I used to go to all these oldies concerts with my dad.  I got tickets to one a little later, it probably would have been 1997 or so.  Dennis Yost was one of the acts.

Unfortunately, it was god awful.  It was in a local theatre with about 2000 people, he was so bad, I swear to you they came on stage during his third song and took the microphone away from him.  I think he may have been intoxicated.

With that said, I don't know what he's done since then or if we've lost him yet, and I do know that his music in his prime was excellent.

yes he passed away in recent years..

J.R. Cobb was also a prominent member, cowriting some of the hits and later being in the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

"Sunny" was a hit for Bobby Hebb btw, not the Classics IV, though it sounds like it should have been!
