The first song is "Earth Angel", followed by "Devil or Angel", then "For Your Love", and then Billy sings "Daddy's Coming Home Soon" then "What's Your Name?"
Dr hook and the medicine show, had more talent, in a single bead of sweat, than most performers of today, could ever dream of having. Even when goofing off and playing around, they were absolutely amazing.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen more vocal talent in a group (band) by so many different guys. All these guys could’ve sung lead for just about anybody. Dr. Hook was magic in a bottle.
This man has a wonderfull talent.Every woman think he sings only for you and you wish yourself where is a man in your life lokks and smile Dennis does.
I love listening to and watching them - they always look like they're having fun! It's great to see such talented artists look like they're having a good time.
The drummer's voice is insane...such great songs...Oh Jesse, a little bit more, sharing the night together, when you're in love with a beautiful woman, years from now...
I love these guys, I was rocking with them from the beginning, RIP RAY, l don't know how much time I have left but I hope we will be singing with the Angels up there. You have so much love in your heart. Take care of yourself and hope to sing and dance with you when I get there. Love Jacquie 2022.
I love listen ing to them and watching them. Love you ❣️ Guys so much. It is 2am in Las Vegas and l am with The Dr Hook and the Medicine Show. 💕 You Guys
Agreed when I was 14 I couldn't understand why my mum was going to shows when thet visited uk. I thought it was gross she was so into Denis. Now here I am 45 yrs later drooling over a young ray wishing id seen them live
What a voice, thank you for your music ,and the fun Dr hook band gave. You will be forever young as we watch you on disc, as I am doing now .Deep regrets to your family on their great loss.
@rebelfrom1944 ,the shit that they put out today is not music and the ones that run the show are pushing the crap of today because of what it does to our bodies. Todays crap runs on a different hz. Have you ever noticed how when listening to todays crap ,one doesn`t feel good? I feel anxious and very upset when the noise they have today is played. If you actually do the research you will see what I mean.

I'm a fan since the beginning. Since 1971. In two years that will be 50 years. I listen to them every week. I have got all there music. Every friday i watch these songs on RUclips here. I must be crazy. So were they. The best music ever. Great musicians, great lyrics and great singers. I love Dr. Hook and i always will for the rest of my days. Thank you so much for having the opportunity to see them here on this channel.
A big patriot hug from Austria - Dr. Hook are the Spearhead of intelligent, warm hearted music. The Zappa Version of danceable "Disco" Music with this special attitude. Love them deeply straight from my heart. And of course I love this channel. THANKS RONJA! SO MUCH!!!
Beautiful man man a was born in 1992 and absolutely love them cant stop watching them my little 6 year old girl loves them too I'll make sure she carrys these legends on
how many of you are listening to this and it'd bringing back memories?? I'm only 35, but love listening to Dr hook with my mom and hearing her memories!
Since one of these guys was my neighbor & friend, throughout the 70's, I knew these guys. Nice guys, very talented. So, yes...their songs & videos bring back lots of great memories, in Mill Valley, Ca, in the 70's.
This reminds me so of my beloved late husband Joe. He passed in 2001. I never remarried, not even a boyfriend. He’s the one and only for me! We have three great kids together! I just turned 70. Hope it won’t be long til we’re back in each other’s arms….this time for eternity!💔
Another great performance. So sad the drummer died of cancer in his early 50's. What a marvelous voice ! Your not forgotten here on RUclips . Thank you
Every one of the band members was vastly talented. Billy Francis with that lovely deep voice and the keyboards, and his deadpan, John Wolters on the drums and singing background almost every number, Rik and Jance on their slots guitar and bass, and even the rotating spots, all made up the medicine show. It would have been incomplete without any of them, especially Dennis with the magic vocal range, and Ray's bluesy strut... They were magic.
@@msvitles Wow Linda you are so right, an awesome band. Their best performance ever was that spontance jam session on Shel Silverstein's house boat. If you haven't seen it check it out. The crap there putting out today is just a bunch of cookie cutters who all sound the same. It,s like Joe Cockers "With A Little Help From My Friends" so Fuc____ raw and beautiful. You never see ANYTHING TODAY that stands out. Again it all sounds the same, God I miss the Sixties and Seventies. Janis, Jimmy Hendrix's, Aretha Franklin, Lynyrd Skynyrd ect..........
My mam seen you live in the 70s at newcastle city hall newcastle england, i wished id been alive to be there. I was born in the wrong decade lol love dr hook thanks mother ❤❤
I think this band is under rated . They really handsome talent. No matter how missed up they were they still nailed it . I love to watch they’re live performances.
Just when I think I can't be impressed any more by this band I see this. There is absolutely nothing they couldn't do. They completely blow me away with the talent that oozes from every pore. I swear they could of sang the Alphabet song and made it a #1 Hit. Truly. ❤️
Another year and a beautiful memory of my greatest group that l loved a little country, a little rock and roll. I just love them so much. Love you Ray and Dennis. Love you you Jacquie
Dennis Locorriere, at 72, is currently on the Dr Hook 50th Anniversary Tour in the UK where he now lives. He has also excelled as a solo artist and has several Cd's out.
@@jeanwalls7021 yep, Dennis Locorriere voice seems to have gotten even better over the years. He sounds great. Love his new songs. He still sings some of the old stuff too.
I can't believe that for the past 30 years I haven't played more of their music. I still remember most of their songs but just haven't listened to them very much. Their voices are so good and they have so many hits that I don't understand how I "lost track" of them. Since I rediscovered the guys a few weeks ago my friends at RUclips have been filling up my playlists with lots of their tunes.
These songs are not their hits, they are doing a medley of hits from other artist from the "Oldies But Goodies" era. They do a magnificient job though.
🥀This is one of my favorite songs that they did it takes me back to very early age. I had the privilege of seeing Dr Hook in Atlanta Ga the 70s in Concert oh yeah I was 13yrs old lmbo but true I fell with these Guy's I still love them !🥀✌🥀☝️
Been listening to their videos all afternoon and I've never seen such enormous talent. These guys can sing anything any genre.(disco,,hillbilly,rock, love balads etc....) And are super funny and entertaining!
No shit! Me too! I had a couple albums in the mid 80's inherited from my uncle and I just didn't appreciate it back then. I think watching these guys perform and enjoy it so fully makes a big difference. That plus, I spose, I'm old now.
The first song is "Earth Angel", followed by "Devil or Angel", then "For Your Love", and then Billy sings "Daddy's Coming Home Soon" then "What's Your Name?"
Thank you so much, Linda :)
@@RonjasDrHookChannel I made a mistake, I think with Billy's song title is "A Thousand Miles Away"
@@msvitles Thanks so much :)
Jon wolters brill singer best dummer.ever god bless and keep your songs and drums loud in heaven find ray,and billy make a new dr hook.
The original is a thousand miles away by the heartbeats for billy song
I regret not having ever gone to one of their concerts. So entertaining!
allways worth it : ) They were great on stage : )
The 70's were just a gas . What a time to be alive ! ❤❤❤
Yes miss those times
Dr hook and the medicine show, had more talent, in a single bead of sweat, than most performers of today, could ever dream of having. Even when goofing off and playing around, they were absolutely amazing.
u aint wong!!!
You're so right
My first record album was Freakn at the Freakers Ball, mom bought the record TOTALLY unaware of the words...lol my dad laughed so hard!!!
❤
There were certainly many beads of sweat.
July 2024 here. They are still amazing. Definitely rock of fame
What a wonderful, talented bunch of young men these guys were. Dennis is still playing for us. We are so lucky to have him.
so is Jay
These guys were THE BEST, they sing RAW, unlike todays artists, they need ear pieces etc, they cant sing..dr hook can sing anything
Best band ever. Should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Yes they should
Oh yeah
Most definitely
I totally agree.
They’re not? Insanity!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen more vocal talent in a group (band) by so many different guys. All these guys could’ve sung lead for just about anybody.
Dr. Hook was magic in a bottle.
love it i must have viewed this over a thousand times x
I listen to this 50 times a day💀
These guys look like they are having so much fun
This man has a wonderfull talent.Every woman think he sings only for you and you wish yourself where is a man in your life lokks and smile Dennis does.
So very true , I’m sure he sang just to me .
I love listening to and watching them - they always look like they're having fun! It's great to see such talented artists look like they're having a good time.
Just brilliant. Love "Dr Hook". Fab. Xxx.💞💕💞
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to it - Amazing - such great voices
The drummer's voice is insane...such great songs...Oh Jesse, a little bit more, sharing the night together, when you're in love with a beautiful woman, years from now...
This is what a proper band sounds like ❤
Best "Medley" Ever. Fantastically Fab.🥰😘😍
My favourite song and I was born in 1992 , born in the wrong time can’t stand todays music ❤🏴
I love these guys, I was rocking with them from the beginning, RIP RAY, l don't know how much time I have left but I hope we will be singing with the Angels up there. You have so much love in your heart. Take care of yourself and hope to sing and dance with you when I get there.
Love Jacquie 2022.
I'm hearing this for the first time, but I love it! ❤ He came just in time. thanks for.❤
No band had more fun playing then these guys. Every single one of them has talent. Greatest mash up of all time.
All have great voices - Brilliant Band
I agree, i’m so sad i’m so young that i never got the chance to experience them
I love listen ing to them and watching them. Love you ❣️ Guys so much. It is 2am in Las Vegas and l am with The Dr Hook and the Medicine Show. 💕 You Guys
Agreed when I was 14 I couldn't understand why my mum was going to shows when thet visited uk. I thought it was gross she was so into Denis. Now here I am 45 yrs later drooling over a young ray wishing id seen them live
That's my sentiment exactly. If every band would get along like they do you wouldn't have the breakups . Love to watch them perform.
I do believe Dr. Hook is one of the most versatile bands ever. Incredibly talented, and one of my all time favorites.
Fabulous no 9ne any better than Dr hook just magical and they are all great singers love them the best of the very best
There will never be a band like Dr hook,they had so much fun and such great singers.
Loved the drummers' voice!
John Worden I think that's his name. He blasted his drums and his great voice in many of the songs. XO.
@@arlenepalomba8027 thanks, Arlene!
seems they were all such talented singers/musicians...so sorry we lost Ray last year.
His name is John Wolters.@@arlenepalomba8027
My favorite band ever been in love with Billy Francis ever since i saw him❤❤❤
I believe these dudes could sing anything. They were great.
The BEST "" Live "" Band that I have ever seen. Funny, Great songs and 2 1/2 hours on stage without a break. Magnificent 🎵🎶
Their secret is they make it look effortless and I enjoy every minute of it
Ray is gone!! 81 years!! ❤️🎤. A shooting star now!! Thank you, Ray, for your music, fun, and attitude!! Forever your fan!!
What a voice, thank you for your music ,and the fun Dr hook band gave. You will be forever young as we watch you on disc, as I am doing now .Deep regrets to your family on their great loss.
Hard to believe he is gone - wonderful performer
He was simply the best guy to talk with.
The joys of modern technology; it completes a picture of what was decades ago a linear experience without visual complements.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Love these live show videos.
OMG....😢 I am in love with every one of them...absolutely stunning performance.
Pure authentic talent. So real, so much fun for them and for us watching them.
I love this group they are all so talented great musicians and singers I watch them every day
I got to say they were the best I've ever seen this shows were awesome last time I saw them was at Hampton Beach
SO CALLED MUSIC OR ENTERTS TODAY CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO THESE GUYS!! PERIOD!
@rebelfrom1944 ,the shit that they put out today is not music and the ones that run the show are pushing the crap of today because of what it does to our bodies. Todays crap runs on a different hz. Have you ever noticed how when listening to todays crap ,one doesn`t feel good? I feel anxious and very upset when the noise they have today is played. If you actually do the research you will see what I mean.
Asong is a song but these guy`s know how to HANDLE a SONG it`s like carving a piece of wood Johny Cash has it !! They are JUST BRILLIANT
Absolutely
Ilike to say hy my good firend

SERIOUSLY....this is an unexplainable performance that everyone should share in these dark times.Ya'll brought the LIGHT BACK❤THANK YOU
I love to watch this! They are so fun! This is what people need.......good, wholesome fun times with beautiful voices and the energy they project.
I did not know the drummer and keyboard player could sing like that. Man these guys have soul!
Drummers name is John Wolters. Keyboarder don't know yet. But will look it up.
@@Rosebud2503 billy francis
Each and every person in this band was/is individually talented, and when they combined, magic!
So true - saw them in 1982 in Australia and have loved them all these years and still listen to them every day
And......cocaine....comon that shit made ok into badass.
Fabulous one of the most talented bands of all time they all can sing which is very rare pure magic
John Walters was so great in this video! A favorite!! Not enough recognition! 🥰💝 Ray cracks me UP!

Had to watch this today for the millionth time ❤️❤️
Fantastic songs by a fabulous group ! 🎶 God I miss these guys ! 👌🏻
I love Dr. Hook ! I could watch them all day. I’d love to have a video of them.
I would have LOVED to be in the audience when this was performed - PURE MAGIC
They were the only group worth paying modern Live Nation fees to see. Talent and chemistry in abundance. The Best.
What a fantastic voice the drummer had ..everyone of the group so talented..
In my opinion, no band ever or will ever pass Dr. Hook in talent or presentation. I saw them in concert, and they were phenomenal!
John wolters voice I could listen to all day absolutely incredible ❤❤❤
How many groups now can do this? NONE. The talent here is mind blowing!!!!!!
I was 14 when "Only Sixteen" came out and I was crushing big time on a 16 yr old in the school I went to... This song hit me hard back then!!!
What brilliant times so much talent music then was awesome . Thanks
Hook & Company always 100% & never disappoint. *BIG THANKS*
I always wanted to see them in person, but never got the chance they need to make DVDs
Awesome band DR HOOK WHAT A LEGENDS OF MUSIC 🎶 🎵 AWESOME VOCALS AND FANTASTIC LYRICS
Just a bunch of friends having a blast- and dragging the crowd along for the fun.. ❤🎉
Amazing that they can all tweak their voices to a 50’s style. Crazy talent all around. They would’ve each succeeded individually.

I was the same - didn't listen for nearly 40 yrs and they are still amazing
Me either! I have fallen in love aha n with Dr Hook🥰
These songs are not their hits, they are doing a medley of hits from other artist from the "Oldies But Goodies" era. They do a magnificient job though.
I do have recently rediscovered them. Guess I just got too preoccupied with life? But thanks to RUclips I'm back on track & love seeing them perform.
Great band- never took themselves too seriously, but boy, so talented and funny!! xx

Dr. Hook is one AWESOME singer!!!! Back-in-the-Day music can not be compared to this "So Called Music" today!!!!!!
Been listening to their videos all afternoon and I've never seen such enormous talent.
These guys can sing anything any genre.(disco,,hillbilly,rock, love balads etc....)
And are super funny and entertaining!
I didn't really appreciate the FANTASTIC voices across the whole band - til now. I love 'em.
No shit! Me too! I had a couple albums in the mid 80's inherited from my uncle and I just didn't appreciate it back then.
I think watching these guys perform and enjoy it so fully makes a big difference.
That plus, I spose, I'm old now.
F...., amazing; watching this video makes me enjoy my days over and over again. Nostalgia all over the place. Thanx 4 this pleasure. Kizzzzzzz Elena
wow, they're all such talented singers. love it
