[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Beautiful🥀The way I truly feel about Dennis Locorriere he's amazing and a powerful person in the music industry around the world if it wasn't for him I don't believe Dr Hook would have made it as far as they were on the charts . They were my 1st concert in Atl Ga and I loved it🥀🖤✌🥀☝️

[@lawrenceweinzimer]

Thankfully Dennis is sincere, strong character, straightforward...not like all the rest out there !

[@mjor9295]

Loved him then. Love him now!

[@pattyt.5253]

I love the song he wrote called Different Faces. I think Dennis is more talented now than when Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show were just a local house band in Union City. At that time, they all fit together perfect but time does go on and I am so glad Dennis is still doing what he loves to do. Play music, sing, write but mostly perform for all the Different Faces. :)

[@susiekelley487]

Always thought Dennis had an awesome voice. He seems like one genuine guy.

[@randalfavs6638]

Bands never want to do old songs. But we want the old songs

[@BigG833]

Dennis Locorriere is the REAL Dr. Hook voice from the 1970's and in 1980. Hook sang so good when I was a kid in my single-digit ages until I turned 10. No more lonely nights for me

Great band

[@chrisierichards8271]

His voice,, I like than an now,

[@zoraiamoreira2973]

I always loved your music... Them one day in Secaucus NJ, you walked in where your mother and I worked, and before I knew she was introducing you to me... I must have looked like a total fool because I was so overwhelmed that I didn't know what to say... But believe me that night I wanted to kick myself for not telling you were... I know your mother knew how much I liked you she had never mentioned that she was your mother. And I guess more than I was dumbfounded on being able to actually meet you, your mother was a great woman, with a wonderful personality... I had no idea she was your mom... And I had known her for a while.. this was more than three decades ago, and wants to place burned down, it hurted me very much that we never got to hang out again. And the right after I moved to Fl and a short time later to Vegas... Believe me that they will live in my memory forever... And everytime I beloved and I listen to Dr. Hook, I can't help but remember that the most special day. sending you many blessings and hoping that your health is incompletely recovery. Your longtime fan, Zara as your mommy used to call me. God bless you and stay safe! Time to come back and make a new hit song!

[@hansraage1417]

Please don't try to pull Dennis into something he ain't! We should all be thankfull to him for all the beautifull moments he gave us. And hopefully a few more??

[@patriciaagerard-linton9117]

Funny, Iwas young. My mother thought I'd run off to be with. So she brought me up on a mountain. Funny, I was in an interest of the band She was afraid I'd get with a band. However I was a rock n roll lover. His style was amazing and magnet to Ray. But she was right I would of run off to be with the band.! Always loved the music. Rolling Stone. Funny who was a player and was in the Stone. My husband! Gee, Wish I knew him. Thanks Ray Dennis, and the Dr.Hook band.Themmusic will never die. Ray made me happy.

[@patriciaagerard-linton9117]

He looked like an Angel.

[@susanshira3783]

"Shit 🔥 and save matches!!!! Can't. Touch. This!!!!😁😍😉😎

[@curvy71]

I wish he would reunite with Dr Hook.

[@patriciaagerard-linton9117]

What that a group they were so talented. They should of done other shows.

[@just2muchfunfun]

Please do at least one reunuion for those who were not old enought to appreciate your musice and now wish they had a chance to do so. I am 43 and remember the music but was too young to go and see them live. That was the way music was fucking great. The shit today is crap. I listen to sports talk and news and you tube.

[@alicelam3334]

What year was this? I miss him and I want to see Him. We always want to hear the old songs. We love him!

[@vincequelmar]

His son is about 42 now , here he says his son is 15 , so about 27 years ago !!!

[@alicelam3334]

Thanks for letting me know. Much appreciation.

[@alicelam3334]

why is that?

[@alicelam3334]

Interesting indeed... well i quit watching TV around 2 years back. Have a nice day :)))

[@068dirtboy]

GRETA MALL dennis was born in 1949 and he said he was 45. so the math has it at 1994

[@rosinante2]

dannoozy: ´95 I guess. Because he referred to the farewell tour in ´85 and then he says something about 10 years ago

[@criminalone9190]

when was this hes 68 now

[@davidjames666]

This clip is from ~1996

[@RonjasDrHookChannel]

Thank you very much, i fill in the info in the description

[@murphroberts4891]

Probably the reason the description says "Interview from '96", eh? Are you always this astute?

[@davidjames666]

Ronja´s Dr Hook Channel shoot!! Not sure what i was thinking. I should have wrote it was 94-95. Dennis says he is 45 years old, but being his birthday is June, we do not know if he just turned 45 or if he will be 46 in a few months. THANKS FOR YOUR WORK ON YOUR CHANNEL!!

[@davidjames666]

Murph Roberts you are uninformed sir.

[@trvlaqwst7570]

Must be 1994? as he said he's 45

[@jezebel892]

How old is his son and does he have any grandchildren?
