This song always makes me cry. The Classics IV mostly stayed with softer rock in the 60'. The lead singer was Dennis Yost, who had an amazing voice. In the 70's this band evolved into the Atlanta Rhythm Section, who you reacted to yesterday. Both bands did the song "Spooky," and both versions sound very similar.

Ouvia essa música e imaginava o quanto a vida era bela , não havia tanta violência no mundo , as pessoas eram educadas , o jeans não era uniforme do dia a dia mas o romantismo estava no ar , no sol no mar , enfim valeu a lembrança abraços aos amigos e amigas da boa música romântica. ❤❤.

"Traces" was a number two hit in the US for Classics IV in 1969. Classics IV also scored hits with "Spooky" (1968), "Stormy" (1968), and "Sunny" (1969). "Spooky" features a killer sax solo. Check that one out next.

Spooky is my fave from them-puts you right in that October mood. I also found it interesting in the song Traces that they use the Spooky riff throughout the song-same with their other hit Stormy-I guess to remind people of their former hits. Members of this group would go on to form the Atlanta Rhythm Section who put out their own version of Spooky which also became a big hit.

Probably the best classification for this song is "easy listening/pop". The Classics IV had a very smooth sound.

Human beings have this incessant annoying habit to classify everything including popular music. What? Does it make them feel safe and organized? Haha. it;s just music, if it touches you it doesn't matter what people think it should be. That's a lot of human paranoia...it's "soft rock," oh no...it's not something else, oh no...my sense of security is gone...it's called variety. Live with it.
