Dr. Hook (shortened from Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein. The band had eight years of regular chart hits, in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early year
Even in 1980 it was very clear that the mellow vibe of the 70s was gone. We had absolutely no idea how the 80s would blow our minds, once and for all. 🤪
Saw them in concert, live at the Green , in Danbury Connecticut years ago and Ray sat at the door to their tour bus , sang one of their songs for my daughter and he signed her shirt for her.
Kris didn’t like his own voice but we all do, it’s a pure sound that comes right from the writers heart the way he actually created it and heard it in his mind. You have to appreciate the artist in him.
Hey Ronja, i noticed that some of your videos (Sylvia’s Mother in 78 with Shel and Sharing The Night Together from Soundstage 1979) seemed to have been taken down or made private. Do you have any idea of what’s going on and do you plan on reuploading the missing videos? Best wishes
Hello, RU-vid, I want to upload at least one video per month that is not subject to copyright. (I don't earn anything from this channel (nor anything from my other channels) So I have only uploaded videos that I have access to without thinking about copyright. I just don't have any more Dr Hook stuff to post :( As long as I don't upload anything, RU-vid cuts my set videos by 30% every month and my numbers are almost down to zero! My channel has brought in a lot of money for RU-vid, so I decided to put half of my channel on hiatus now, because I am so upset that RU-vid can treat us like this. I will open the videos again when I find the time. Meanwhile: have a great summer! :)
