[@gagacrazy10]

Atleast give them a cover of the rolling stone. 😁

[@MrShutUpMr]

Honestly , they are so underrated, easily top 10 best rocks bands ever

[@brendamarucha5362]

I agree 💯

[@gailmcdermott9285]

Totally amazing voice seen him now loads and honestly amazing live love love love ❤❤

[@alwayssme]

i agree, they had countless songs that bring back the memories of way back when, one of my faves

[@obrienqwerty]

Lots of us have loved this band from childhood to senility. Forever in our hearts, Dr Hook.

Ohhhh man you still got that soun Dr hk,we love it from Samoa and New Zealand,we love you Doctor

[@johnmcdonald2110]

These guys were really off the chart. Could go from sweet sounding pop songs to some of the raunchiest and funny songs you ever heard. R.I.P. Ray.

[@cathylydyorke2347]

What a talented, warm, non pretentious artist he is. I loved them back in the 70s and early 80s and just rediscovered their songs. A trip down memory lane.

@Bryant Benson Started listening in the early 80's and I just love how he's such a regular guy.

[@nguyenforest1124]

Sylvias mother is the best song ever written, what person in this world wouldn’t like it Very emotional song and a true story

[@lauradewey5748]

Totally agree.

[@identifyingmemydivinecomedy]

They didnt write that song. Author Shel Silverstein did.

[@Rita_654]

No band could sing it with so much emotion.

[@johntechwriter]

This guy was an exceptional pop vocalist who could take average songs and make them hits. He will never get the credit he is due.

[@timfahy2277]

This guy IS an exceptional artist!! - had the pleasure of seeing him& his band recently- & also in the next few days - 1st class entertainment 👏👏👏

[@rosskleinmann2626]

my mother introduced me to Dr. Hook as a child, "Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball" was the song we would always sing in the car. I still enjoy listening to them and brings me back to all those wonderful times

[@traciehall1975]

I'm an Aussie, my 70's childhood right there!!, Best songs huh!!, I can't thank you guys enough for the fantastic music and now my kids know you too!!!, They have to listen to me singing along, yes, I probably have a lot to answer for 😂😂😂😂

[@LesSmith45]

He still has that distinct voice. I would love to watch him live today! It would be worth every penny! Thank you Dennis for all the great songs and memories

[@Shakri101]

+LesSmith45 Just had that pleasure of seeing him live, still sounds good, although I preferred the concerts back in the day when all the characters of the band were there.

[@moirabuchanan7534]

Saw him last Friday night! Brilliant

[@buffalosowljah]

thats whats its all about.. how many *singing stars* still have this distinctive voice they familiar will ..especially live flipping great

[@ingridlemming6019]

I love Dr Hook music.Thanks for everything Dr.Hook .Keep on singing

[@OkinInc]

Dennis is amazing! Saw him almost 10 years ago, just him and the acoustic guitar and he blew me away! A true Living Legend and we need more artists like him. Real music and a Real Talent. Simply beautiful. His own material is music you can listen to and relax and feel truly good. Love you Dennis.

[@moirabuchanan7534]

Saw Dennis last Friday night he was brilliant!!

[@michaelbryan3900]

God bless Dennis Locorriere, his songs were the background music to my life growing up, I think this band was hugely underrated.

[@joehearn4279]

Saw these guys many years ago. Was sitting in the front row and Ray gave me his maracas. Still have them today.

[@misstery5942]

How cool 😎

[@peterbaxter4547]

Joe Hearn Hi. Is that last bit a euphemism buddy ?? Ha ! Just teasing mate. They do not make ‘em like that anymore - mores the pity. RIP to the missing boys. All the love. ❌⚓️❌

[@ThomasPBlack]

That must be real cool. He must have been awe inspiring to watch perform. He seemed to be so animated... is he still alive? Was he equal to, or more important to the band than the lead singer?

[@miguelmarquez4192]

@@ThomasPBlack he and the man with the eye patch (recently passed r.i.p.) did the majority of the singing songs youd recognize. They had a broader spectrum than most bands. Im pretty sure they all sang backup though. Great harmonies.

[@YouDummy]

Give them back you ass

[@jpruda65]

Great voice!!! Probably one of the most under rated rock singers. Silvias Mother is one of my favorite songs!!!

[@gregclark3063]

Definitely. Great singer and songwriter

[@pigeonlove]

He wasn't underrated, they had many hits over a long period of time

[@williamhenry1934]

When I see these songs being played I get blown away with emotion ! so much runs through my mind so fast! First I smile and remember how much I adored these songs and how much joy they brought to me as a young kid in a poverish home with no money! These song made me happy in an unhappy place ! It flooded me with memories of young love ,good times with friends of a simpler time! Then I realize my favorite artists are passing away , these times are long gone and youth is way behind us! and I’m filled with grief! Time is running out and this music will never return! Then sadness sets in and a sense of gloom! Sort of a felling of un contentment! Then I shake it off and Back to the grind of work ,raising kids and on to another day! Jan 8 2019. R. I. P Ray. Thank you so much Dr. Hook

[@RobertoLopez-123]

William Henry I grew up pretty much the same way as you so I think you'd like that old song "wonderful soup stone " lol take care man

[@TC-dw6wg]

I also share your experience and it’s the shaking off / moving forward that counts as it’s not over. ✌️

This guy's every bit as awesome as he ever was. Great upload!

[@patriciamillsaps2975]

I saw them in Nashville at least a dozen times they were a great band and then Dennis was on his own for a while and I saw him also in Nashville and got a nice picture and I still have it of us together after the show and that was about 15 years ago.

[@donnajackson2907]

I'm 58 yo. I first started listening to Dr. Hook, when I was in the 5th grade. That's when 'Cover of the Rollin Stone' came out. I have loved everything they've done, ever since. When I listen to their music, I suddenly don't know that I'm 58 anymore. That's some powerful mojo!!! Thanks Alot!!! For all the years of fun, and meaningful, music!! I Love all of you guys!!!

[@kimcatherinepatience1961]

love you both so much never will be a band like you. love ya.

[@aidanamson8568]

OMG I grew up on this music, soon as I hear this group, takes me back to many situations and memories in my life. So many emotions and thoughts and generally happy feelings, Thanks Dennis your voice is awesome. RIP Ray and thank you.

Just a really nice guy. it's good to see that he's still around!

"I've never had a cross word with any of these guys." Betting not many bands can say that.

What an absolute legend of a man, and a legendary group in Dr.Hook. A great talent and a lovely guy. Sexy eyes is one of my favourite songs of all time, it's exactly why music such as this lives on and on.

I'm 80 and just discovered Sylvia's Mother a couple of years back. I listen to it on KZbin oçcassionally and just listened to it on my Alexa Echo Dot. I dearly love the song,! It's one of those songs that tugs at your heart, you can actually FEEL it! Thank you Dr Hook.

When I saw Ray on Dennis’ shoulders both acting like maniacs on stage in the 70’s, I never thought Dennis would still be alive in 2014. Good for him. Their song, “Who If Not You” was a memorable song that night in Wilkes Barre, PA.

Hahaha, true! My Grandmother has told me since I was a child, I have an "old soul" :) I found this man through my love for Shel Silverstein, one song from Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show...I was sold!

[@antares5561]

I liked what you did there, nice pun man! "I Got Stoned and I Missed It", but "Sylvia's Mother" is beautiful!

[@alan30189]

Erika, But what would "Erika's mother" think about that? Remember "Sylvia's mother" didn't like him. LOL The music from the decade of the 70's was the best ever. No other decade comes close. It was a great time to grow up. I spent my junior high school, high school, and college years in those 10 years.

[@southernmonkey64]

[@leannemayor5755]

I grew up listening to them and I even went to a concert when they came to Sydney .it was at the regent theatre which is t there now.. what a time it was in the late 70’ s early 80’s . I was the baby of 5 so I didn’t get a say in what we listened to but I am so great full they chose well. Thank you dr hook love you forever xoxox
