[pimppappi702]

baphomet stars satanism

[whateverwhenever11]

@pimppappi702 eh.. shut up just listen to the song mr critic.

[macp872]

I love it!!!!

[nomobama]

And a half! Far Out.

[JFKIII1234]

I was 11 in 1971 . Now I'm 51 and a half . Remember how we used to say that ? LOL and a half !

[TheWanderers2]

In my humble opinion, the top best vocalists in rock history, Jim Morrison, Colin Blunstone, and Dennis Yost. Dennis Yost should be in the Rock Hall of Fame.  His vocals are gold. Any fans of Dennis who never really listened to the Zombies, check out Colin's Blunstone's, gold also.

[HonchoPoncho455]

@TheWanderers2 Pretty much say any real band of the 60's were ans some still the best. You can't forget Bread I'd Give anything I own to go back to those days.. I know what I'm talking about, I'm 61 never thought about that age when I was in my teens. My Mom & and Dad were in their late 40's . Sure miss the music and my parents..

[RetroTony1959]

I know what you mean. I hear this and it gives me the strangest kinda sad feeling. It takes me back to my childhood home and block in 1968 Los Angeles and I remember my big brother Ricky was a Marine in Vietnam and how my family was always worried about him. Oh if I only had a time machine to go back to all the people I loved back then.Most of them are gone now.

[ninarosaify]

Minha favorita de todos o tempos!!!!!

[paspires68]

Maravilha. Simples assim!!

[PharrisCo001]

The guitar riff at the chorus is the same as spooky

[130Fahrenheit]

Jim morryson with out the drugs

[frankmaiorana66]

John Legend sampled this song brilliantly with his hit 'Save Room' and most of the video was shot in NY.

[cujo9]

wish i could go to sleep and wake up on a sunny afternoon in deep summer around 1971 time!

[OldBittyGrandma]

@cujo9 Ahhh yes...now that time is only in our dreams...

[Barking914]

This is so classic. Yes it was yesterday, but man was it good. Dennis left us with some sit back relax wonderful songs. He was a true talent that is missed. GB You and thank you. In the vaults of time safe and secure.

[freeguy77]

@Drblooter99 It would be a great combination, if they did!

[USAisAntiWhite]

GROOVY!

[rextrek]

ahh the early 70's...a summer day - I was 11.........AM Radio CLASSIC!!!!

[jmasalle]

This is some of the best straight-forward 4/4 drumming on a record...

[Lindy81349]

Oh to go back to those days...what memories...yesterdays love was like a warm summer breeze !!

[PERVERSOS3]

PARA NOSOTROS ERAN DIAS DE CALLE POR LAS TARDES MIENTRAS TODOS SALIAN A JUGAR

[ftsjr]

I always liked the Classics IV. Dennis Yost had the smoothest voice around.

[KKK4U2]

This song is a classic all around the world

I still listen to their albums

[tripwire66602]

What is the red guitar the guy is playing ? just asking

[davshaw5]

@tripwire66602 Gibson ES 335 is my guess.

[FreshWheniFlirt]

A BLACK GUY should sing this!!! lol maybe Tyrese or avant or D'Angelo.

[osterpicado]

Guess they forgot to pack up the high-hat.

[MyTwangyGuitar]

@osterpicado - I picked up on that as well - good eye and ear!

[shellybellysf]

vinkleman..yeah he ain't doing shit, he looks bored to death! Gotta pay the rent. Still I loved the song when I was a kid. Still like it.

[ladylike1956]

A classic no doubt.  Love it always.

[odndsdm]

I absolutely love this song...could hear it over and over again

[Sheri451]

When did that song come out? I used to tell my Mom if I had a daughter I would name her Stormy for that song.

[lindelcan]

@Sheri451 It says 1968 on one of the other videos.

[Sheri451]

@lindelcan I loved the song. I can remember it They played it thoughout the 1970s too.

[lindelcan]

@Sheri451 I enjoyed listening to all of these songs again. Now I can't get them out of my head!

[Sheri451]

@lindelcan I understand. I sometimes hear a song on YT and then hear it in my head like that too.

[facereto]

This is a classic song, band and singer. No wonder they were called the "Classics IV".

[yogini34]

@daveumpref

I used to put mine under the pillow at night as well; listening to music and Wolfman Jack after midnight. Those were the days. Miss 'em so very much.

[dgags1]

Who is the Sax player? Junior Walker? Anyone know ?

[eightiesguy62]

@dgags1 Well the guy that played sax on their song "Spooky" was Mike Shapiro but he went by the name Mike Sharpe so I can only guess that he was the samr guy that played the sax on "Stormy." They are both very beautiful songs and I never realized that two of the original members of ClassicsI IV went on to form the Atlanta Rhythm Section which as you may remember did a remake of "Spooky."

[chris48able]

theres a song similar like this i forget the title  !!you know?

[iamserious33]

@chris48able "Save Room" from John Legend seems to be heavily influenced by it. Probably went to sleep with this playing, and woke up thinking he dreamt it. lol

[ggDoubleE]

I love this song. Thanks for posting.

[ggDoubleE]

Brings back memories of lying in my bed at night and listening to WABC Radio in NYC.

[daveumpref]

@ggDoubleE

haha me too. I used to put the small transistor radio under my pillow...

[Jopa47z6]

This song was the highlight of some of my childhood vacations. Smooth music that takes your mind to a peaceful place. Others have copied this tune but their different styles work differently on the ears and imagination.

[KnightHawk111]

Wonderful song, from Yost's singing to the Sax riff.

[irafajardo]

I always love to hear this song by Dennis Yost. Thanks.

[LoneWolfGammaRider68]

I was STORMY last nite like a Wolfee Hurricane luckily I stopped - 2 late

[centralparocker]

Such a melancholy song....used to feel warm and sad when I heard it....and you know what.....nothing has changed....

[pabonilla73]

i heard this song in the east side story of los angeles tape listenin in the car cruisin i tought is was so cool and it is ,one of best best songs i ever heard period.......

[ayla8251]

bring that Sunny Day!

[Cleatusbodean]

Great era! Groovy baby!

[vinkleman]

The sax player ain't doin a fuckin thing until it's his turn to jump in and he doesn't give a shit about what anybody thinks about it either.

[lanceflatul]

@vinkleman Great insight about that sax player. Guess you're a sax player who doesn't get any gigs because you play jazz, and no one wants to hear it. Take up guitar, piano or drums. You'll actually get to play with musicians who get gigs and play music that people (read kids) will understand and like to hear. LOL

[irobot2009able]

@lanceflatul idiot!!

[caveman9301969]

Awesome music people poor guy just lettn us know how he feels when his girl is gone love it!!

[brookdalebill]

Brilliant, moody tune, beautifully recorded and mixed.

There is so much great interplay going on.

Thanks for posting!

[dodgeboykev]

i miss this type of music, brings back my childhood.

[1056Mario]

preciosa cancion de lo cual me recuerda ami mejor epoca.

[ronnied828]

Great song by a great singer and band !.....im glad i was born in 1966 and exposed to this music at such an early age !.....RIP Mr. Yost !

[Whipporwhill51]

I love you my Baby!

[MegaYoungblue]

always love it what song . R>B>

[byob4pb]

this reminds me of the blood hound gang

Why's everybody always picking on me

[vexturbo1]

Love this song

[erniesmallwood1]

so many great songs of the 60's and we lose them ever day

[thepumpkins101]

Man this is seriously one of most the beautiful songs on the face of the planet!!!!!!!

[pacoloco729]

santana put out a good cover

of this, just saying

[itchicoopark]

When he belts out " Bring back that sunny day " you know he means it and the older I get the more I want my sunny day back to. The girl, the age, the time.

[ohtxin]

my friend & his like this song so much that their daughter, Stormy.

[cbwd40]

Thats music!

[kevspicer]

I close my eyes and tunes like this transport me back to the sights and sounds and feelings of that time. Thanks for the good memories.

[kielego]

i love this song, i could imagine the woodstock festival....

[thedirtyhippie01]

Gosh this is so hauntingly beautiful

[TheDuckorr]

HOW DID WE LOSE DENNIS YOST ??????????

[floridasoldier1]

how did we lose MUSIC ??????????????

[studiosinger]

@floridasoldier1 corporate take over, the same can e said for our country, totally hijacked.

[daveumpref]

@floridasoldier1

We lost the art of simplicity. 4 or 5 guys, playing and singing without the stuff that would otherwise distract you from realizing they can't sing. Great Sax, Great Voice, Great song, Great harmony. All Lost to Auto tune, laser shows and just HORRIBLE lyrics. Listen to the top 5 songs of today. They're all the same damn song. This music was Rich with feeling, today's music is empty and soulless. There are a few exceptions but... something's missing today.

[curtisjones400]

DENNIS YOST WAS THE MAN-my favorite song by them was "Everyday With You Girl"

[jazznik2]

Great song! Check out the Meters' version of this, too.

[mivi4ta]

20 personas q no saben de musica y seguro le dan un like al horroroso regueton

[irafajardo]

The song i always wanted to hear!

Awesome! Great! Fantastic soft music and yet connecting me

to something I want to be involved in.

Thank you very much Dennis Yost.

[TheHockeyhoney]

...stormy, bring back that sunny day...Haunting and beautiful. I wish music was still like this.

[enduroman428]

Oh so smooth, just makes you wanna dig out that old Teac reel to reel, turn up the Marantz and kick back with a glass of wine.

RIP Dennis, thanks for the music.

[teddyrailroad]

this song still gives me the chills...my youth in altoona p.a.

[meatpole55]

who is the sax player ..anybody know..

[juan58102]

@meatpole55 I am waiting too..

[grooverunner]

@meatpole55 I believe the sax player is English White, yes, that's his name! The only black player in an otherwise all white band. Although English White joined the band in 1969, the sax player on the actual "Stormy" session was probably a session man.

[coolheir]

love the song and what an amazing voice this guy had.

[Dave40522]

Brother on the sax..is smokin....its what I always remember. Super.

[januarypeace]

One of my all time favs!

[MsTearitup]

yews



[greenpilgrim50]

what a luscious voice

[sandinyourshoes]

This song is sexier than hell.

[rudfil]

this song brings me back to my childhood on a summers afternoon.

[anyzsaori]

queee bonita canción mi favorita de CLASSIC´S IV, DENNIS YOST tu voz es genial...

[RMLLcrazy]

image mute?

[GiovannaNYC]

I stand alone in the rain calling your name....I can relate to this.

[rufus317]

John Legend was definitely listening to their music listen to "Save Room" and this song. Almost identical.

[deezzull1]

2this

yhis song is the shit... at 68 it still rocks my world

[daveumpref]

Fantastic!! This song is terrific on about 5 different levels.

[RGN07]

If you re-master this song by just enhancing the instrumentation, it'll still kick ass today.

[carynvanwyk]

Those so called half ass talents out there on the radio need to go back and see how it is supposed to be done.

[Tokewhichu]

I dont know who drake is either but thats a funny comment.I agree I grew up listening to old school music.nothing beats old school music.Itll live on longer than anything else bar none.

[MrJoeoliff]

lot of the guys in this band went on to Atlanta Rythym Section too.

[dowopper51]

I'm a doowop kinda guy, but this group was tops in the late 60s, the best! Sadly I just found out Dennis Yost past away on December 7, 2008, at the age of 65.

[dowopper51]

[Cliffddweller13]

so 60's....such a great time for artists to go in any direction they wanted to with both lyrics and instrumentation......wow....mi­ss it...bring back that sunny day !!

[conifergreen2]

When music was happy and joyful...

[LUSCIOUS6599]

VERY ROMANTIC

[rextrek]

A AM RAdio CLASSIC.....this reminds me of being a lil kid in the 60's on a beautiful summer day

[Ariovistus1]

Love this song! Dennis Yost was one of the greatest voices in Rock and Roll. I was only 10 when this song came out ,but I remember it like it was yesterday. I wish we still had Music like this today, with a Melody and words you can understand! Rock On!

[20202020ish]

Nem sabia que esse Dennis tinha ido pros kiábos...Viva ele!!

O Som é 10 !

[fher49]

Great, great song..gotta love the 60's...

[J1MB08]

Someone needs to do a Deathcore cover of this haha xD

[1985HotRod]

They don't make music like this anymore!! They don't even make music anymore! The crap that's out now is just that..............."crap"

[pbrick6301]

i wish i had a pair of pants like the singer...and let me tell you something: when this song was a hit i probably had 3 pairs of them. great great song that means so much hearing it again.

[crazynurse100]

I've always said john legends save room reminded me of this song.

[Aliendear]

Such an interesting song, i believe the 60's songs were trying to expose the imperfections of the world.

[Nickie0016]

FOR YOU NICKY!!!!!!!

[hildman5]

it a old stormy night. here it old kansas.and i look to see

the fog. any time

[tvbabay]

This song is so good on so many levels.

[twaid50]

I like this song as well, does anyone know why iluvalot1 is so cool.

[irafajardo]

Well done!! What a very very nice song!!

I'm always looking for this song in videoke bar

but its not there.

I want to sing this.

[iluvalot1]

^hey wait 8036 .. no the song is not about pms .. why do you have a fetish for suckn on your mamas bloody tampons ya inbred FAGGOT LOSER!!!! go listen to some nickleback or whateverbullshit music you listen to

This song is hauntingly beautiful and Dennis voice was perfect for this style ... in Dennis memory ...

Some of the Classic IV would later go to become the Atlanta Rhythm Section in 1979 performing with the same melody the mega hit Spooky

[iluvalot1]

this song is hauntingly beautiful as well as Spooky ... since they are pretty much the. same song and half the band went on to be the Atlanta Rhythm Section

[walt8036]

Is this a song about PMS???



[MrRonnieG]

@yobeutch ~ Thanks for the shoutout, I'll check out your recommendation. FYI ~ I ran into Kathy 8 years later, in 1977, and she told at that time, "Ronnie, if we'd gotten married back then we would have 2 kids and been divorced by now." Talk about a crusher, geez. Today she lives in Vallejo, California and, believe it not, has never been married.

[nl1962]

I knew this song early 70's, and never forgot it, it stayed in my mind forever.

[MrNathan791]

loved this song when i was a kid,and it still sound so fresh and wonderful today. many songs from yesteryear has stood the test of time. and i won't even so this for music from today's era;no substance.it seem today that even just want a quick hit and then become famos. this is why i don't even listen to or even buy this crap today. but this song is a classic.

[atreides751223]

14 people have shit in their head...

[MrRonnieG]

I was on leave before heading off to Vietnam. It was June 1969 and Kathy, the love of my life, & I saw Dennis Yost & the Classics IV at Melodyland (a venue "in the round") in Anaheim, California. We argued at some length, after the concert, about getting married before I left but I knew my very life was at great risk and demanded we wait. Six weeks after arriving incountry she wrote a letter saying that she simply could not wait. It's been 40+ years now and I still think about it all.

[dardavies58]

@MrRonnieG

That's a shame. I really is. We all make the best decisions we can at any given moment. I hope you went on to meet someone and had a great life with that person.

[yobeutch]

@MrRonnieG Dam!!!! Sorry to hear that mate. I wish I could chat and have a beer with you. You sound interesting. Anyway I'm always on the hunt for new music and stumbled across these guys just last year. The Explorers Club . Kind of a Beach Boys sound, you'll get it on the first chord. Their first album is Freedom Wind and are recording a second album at this moment called Grand Hotel. Just saying this because they do a cover of the Classic IV's Stormy.

[ITALOVER2]

@MrRonnieG wow . .what a story . .I;m really sorry .the 60's and Nam had that tragic effect on so many lives . . of course OUR generation had FEELINGS different from today's youth . . I feel for ya and am sorry. Selfish and confused girls in this country-no loyalty and THANK GOD you made it out alive . you better off. GOod luck !

[TheWanderers2]

I was saddened to hear of Dennis Yost's passing. His voice is gold. Get him into the Rock n' Roll Hall asap. Thanks Dennis for the great songs over the years!

[hondotoo]

... man, that bass is kickin' !

[Sweetmelissa528]

I love the shit out of this song!!

[peggybrks]

@Sweetmelissa528 ME TOOOOOO!!!!!! ABSOLUTLY!!!! have 4 yrs!!!!:)

[rushv33]

Great music is timeless.

[1hungryghost]

14 idiots did not know how to hit the like button...

[nl1962]

I grew with this music; I love it.

[mtdorabarb1]

I  loved this song....I should have named my daughter Stormy instead of Jennifer Morning...maybe Stormy Morning?

[j20tower]

Timeless music. It never gets old. Just a beautiful song.

[pjzdriver]

Have to add Gary Puckett to that list.....

[TheWanderers2]

Dennis Yost, Colin Blunstone, and Jim Morrison, 3 of the best vocalists in rock history.

[irobot2009able]

@TheWanderers2 your opinion you know what they say opinions are like assholes we all have one jim morrison please!

[chefhooter]

LOVE THESE GUYS... SWEET MUSIC

[correiro]

It doesn't get much better then this. Great simple chord changes. My favorite is Spooky and it always reminds me of my lovely sister. She was a child of the 60's and I love her. Wonderful music!

[TheLavaris]

i like the orginal but john legend is much better

[Dancer810]

@TheLavaris Sorry, but I must disagree with you. First of all, John Legend's song is not even a remake of Stormy...he named it Save Room, and the lyrics and musical arrangement are different. Therefore, you cannot compare apples with oranges. If anything, John Legend STOLE some of the music from Stormy and applied it to Save Room, and I cannot have any respect for that. Stormy is the original classic, and it is SUPERIOR BY FAR!!!

[TheLavaris]

@Dancer810 he didnt steal the beat he bought the rights and was granted permisson by the producer who own it so thats not stealing and i was saying his use of the beat is better then stormy like i said in my previous comment i like the orginal but i just find john legend use of the beat better thats all R.i.p stormy

[trailboyus66]

A Summer Storm on the beach,driving down the road; or right out your window. Dedicated to the late Dennis Yost!

[rayoazteca]

la mejor musica del mundo ............

[nenamarie17]

One of my favorite feel good songs

[Frottagecub]

I MISS and LOVE YOU STORMI ANNETTE STAGGS (SEPTEMBER 27, 1975 - AUGUST 6, 1995) .... my life's outcomes changed the day you took your own life in your own two hands but I won't die the same as you requested me to keep living. - John Staggs *your little brother*

[lovetheoldies]

Dennis had the smoothest voice ever. Like fine silk!!

[Hellfire5500]

great song !!

[cyprescrow]

They dont make em like they used too.......Seem to be a lack of passion these days.... Men had the guts to be romantic and still be men.... Nowadays it seems as if it´s almost politically incorrect to hold up the door for a woman..... Sucks...

[damanfrom808]

Classic 1V, just awesome!!! Dennis Yost's golden voice. every song is great espscially Traces/Everyday With You Girl. 60s groups were awesome!!!

[STRANGETEAM67]

real music now they just scream

[irobot2009able]

they can't make music like this today they only try to remake it theres know talent in my opinion out there thats why they have all those reality shows american idol ,and you got talent it.s remakes and remakes i can't watch it but those who can more power to you your lifes that boring

[Knobodyknos0816]

man this songs the shit.. im only 31 but hands down this song makes all the stuff of today obsolete.. irrelevent... i mean for reals, whos gonna be listening to drake in 30 years. probably just drake. outstanding song and band..

[progjazzfusion]

@Knobodyknos0816 - who the heck is drake? actually i dont want to know if it's some new group.

[juan58102]

@Knobodyknos0816  well done!

[Tone2020]

@Knobodyknos0816 who's drake?

[anthemofadam]

@Knobodyknos0816 ur 31 and you say "for reals"....
