Buddy Buie, 74, Wrote “Spooky,” “Stormy,” “So Into You,” Many Pop Classics

Share

So sorry to hear that Buddy Buie has died at age 74. He wrote all those classic hits for Dennis Yost and the Classics IV— “Spooky,” “Stormy,” “Traces,” as well as the Atlanta Rhythm Section’s “So Into You” and other hits. I interviewed Buddy a few years ago when John Legend turned “Spooky” into his “Save Room.” I thought Buddy would be upset, but he was thrilled to get the money. Rest in peace, Buddy!
