CINCINNATI – Dennis Yost, lead singer of the 1960s group the Classics IV, has died in an Ohio hospital. He was 65.

Yost died Sunday at Fort Hamilton Hospital in Hamilton, about 30 miles northwest of Cincinnati. He died of respiratory failure, said hospital spokeswoman Marielou Vierling.

The Classics IV's hits included "Spooky," "Stormy" and "Traces of Love."

Yost had been in nursing homes since suffering a brain injury sustained in a 2005 fall, said the singer's friend and biographer Joe Glickman.

1. Oh, wow. Too bad

I remember all those songs from when I was a kid. I just never realized it was the same person singing the songs.

RIP, Dennis.

2. That's sad news

Those were great songs I'm used to hearing over and over since the 60s...more proof gravity is not your friend...
