"Stormy" is a hit song by the Classics IV released on their LP Mamas and Papas/Soul Train in 1968. It entered Billboard Magazine October 26, 1968 peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This single release along with the prior release of "Spooky", and soon afterward the release of "Traces", made great success for the band, apart of the well known songs from the ensemble.[1] The song was covered in 1968 by O.C. Smith on his Columbia album titled "For Once In My Life" and in 1978 by Santana on the album Inner Secrets, and by Marker Starling on the 2016 album I'm Willing. There is video of an unreleased 1969 cover by Bobbie Gentry.[2]

John Legend heavily samples the song in his single, "Save Room".
