Album : Live from Denver
Utgitt : 1976
Låtskriver : Ray Sawyer
Ray Sawyer (February 1, 1937 - December 31, 2018)[1] was an American singer and vocalist with the 1970s rock band Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show.[2] Though primarily a backing vocalist and occasional percussionist on congas or maracas, he sang lead on their hit song "The Cover of Rolling Stone" and was a recognizable presence in the band owing to the eyepatch and cowboy hat he wore.
Sawyer lost his right eye in a 1967 automobile accident. He said the following about his life around the time of his accident: "I must have played all the clubs from Houston to Charleston until I decided I was going insane from too much beans and music, and I gave it up. I saw a John Wayne movie and proceeded to Portland, Oregon, to be a logger complete with plaid shirt, caulk boots, and pike pole. On the way my car slipped on the road and the accident left me with the eye patch I now wear. When I recovered I ran straight back to the beans and music and vowed, 'here I'll stay'."
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 years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name, Dr. Hook.

Without a shadow of a doubt. Dr Hook were the best god damn entertainers that ever lived. They brought that western tradition of singing for your supper into the 21st century.. And you know what. The world is a duller place now without them..
100% agree ! 💖
I'm English and I LOVE them. They were/are absolutely BRILLIANT ! 💖💖
Dr.Hook is the boooom, no one can ever be like them one of a kind!!!
I shed a tear for their absence at 32
(I take a lot from them in my silly life)
Its easy to feel sorry for the kids today as far as music goes. We really had it good.
You have no idea! My daddy showed me this band and I'm 27 and they're my absolute favorite music. They make me feel wrapped in a warm hug or like partying or like stomping my bare feet. They have so many genres in 1 and I hate that I missed it in action
Steve they have nothing today..Full stop
I’ve never seen a band have as much fun on stage than Dr Hook. You gotta love it!
Doing what they like 😁.
First of all how could you perform a song, for instance like Freakin' at the Freakers Ball and not have a blast doing it. But the other thing is that when you are relaxed and comfortable with your performance the delivery comes through the best.
@@davidblagg2576 More talent than anything. There may have been drugs involved, but the on-stage shenanigans were all part of their act, and it takes real talent to clown around while still performing flawlessly like this.
I love these guys, but man the coke must have been flowing freely that night lol, goodshit...
I agree but they’re all so cooked it’s hilarious
When you went to a Dr Hook Show, you got your $ 7 worth !
This was an All Star Band with personalities that rivaled anyone in Hollywood.
i love their moustache, their side burn, their hair, their fashion.🥰😍😍
38 year old here. Never heard of this band until today. Pure unadulterated Bliss! Thank God I'll die having listened to Dr. Hook!
Well you're in for a treat! I've loved them since I was a young girl in the 70s
Oh! I'm happy for ya! There's nothing compares to Dr. Hook. There's a biker bar called Nick's Waterfall House in the Catskill mountains in NY. I'd go inside, put $5.00 in the juke box and play every Dr. Hook song on there. Oh yes. Everybody had a good time! ROCK AND ROLL! 🤣
Yes, you truly missed the heyday of the music. I'm 59 and saw them in concert over 2 dozen times. If you get the time machine working, save me a seat. We're heading for Jackpot, NV, summer of 1985. I don't know who was drunker, us or them. 🤣
Man great times. My pops loved the band. And hearing it much times as dad rocked it. It sunk in.
Welcome to the medicine show brother
Oh for the days of my youth as a Cali Arkie Show Me hillbilly dairy farm boy. Yodeling calling in the cows with my grandfather. Precious Memories.
I grew up listening to all of Dr Hook songs
Makin music is about having fun! Dr. Hook were the masters.
Such great entertainers! Can't help but smile watching them.
These guys must be brilliant live! God knows we need some fun like this these days. Great entertainers!
Thanks for posting this channel - I live in the UK and there is not much to sing about these days. These guys were long before woke or politically correct drivel - I watch them regularly - they keep me sane. All the best from the UK and thanks again for posting. 😄😄😄
No words can describe the feeling of watching Dr Hook, I seen them live in Dublin 1982, Carry me carrie is my favourite on Shels houseboat 😅
I never get tired watching this, Ray's yodeling is great, Dennis is so funny, and Billy's dance is hilarious, What a great band, best EVER!!!
yeah how can you not love Bill's insane dancing
+Glen :: That's what I thought, they are a good bunch of crazy guys and talented as well. Love it !
+Glen saw them here in Savannah back in the 70's Billy kicked Ray in the balls. It was funny and painful
+Chris Madden Accidentally I hope!! LOL!
Oh it was Bill would get crazy on stage and all the guys always said when he gets goin theres no tellin what can happen. They really knew how to make their shows fun
In my opinion. This is real entertainment. Nothing like the crap now.
These guys were absolutely genius entertainers. Possibly THE most underrated band.
What makes you believe they're underrated?
@@gogoyubari366 It’s just a feeling. It’s an art not a science.
I also feel that Earth tones don’t get enough love.
I once saw Dr Hook in concert and they were so drunk they were knocking stuff over on stage....but they managed "cover of the rolling stone" and "sylvia's mother" June 24,1980 - Halifax Forum, Halifax Nova Scotia
Rest easy Ray...thank you for the laughs!
And. Talent? You won't to.? My pants got up to Dance!!!now im sitting here naked .😆 nobody ask A Naked man to Dance. Oh yea my underwear is dancing to.✔😈😍😁😝😊
Love You Ray Sawyer.
Ray had more talent than anyone really ever saw with Dr. Hook. Dennis was super talented as well, and both had great voices in their own way.
Every time I ever watched these guys they were having a good time. Always seemed loving and kind toward one another and having one helluva good time. R.I.P Ray. Good memories and music that gave me a lot of joy.
well said
That's life should be 😜
I love the yodeling! An almost extinct art form. Ray kept it alive, true to his background.
From Rays yodeling to Bills dancing, this video is a treasure, Rest In Peace gentlemen
Billy's dancing is hilarious!
I use to hate being old... but I look at all these old videos....I remember all the fun we had back then... Thank you for posting them. It’s been a great ride🌸
Pixie Styx a Hello my friend 😊,I'm old too.😘😘But we are still GETTING DOWN TO DR HOOK!!!!!!!😎😁🎵🎤🎶🎼😘😘😘😘
I agree lol..
@@rhondawilliams5859 Still "Doing It " Nearly "69 yrs of Uninterrupted Love " and hopefully 69 more
I like your attitude bro
It was fun though!
Love love 'em ,no other band with so much enthusiasm ,,,,💜
This band truly talented and really like to have a good time
They were all good friend's you can tell, Dennis told they performed 300 day's a year because there was no internet or social media, no band good survive that without friendship.
I don't think I ever saw a band on stage that had more fun up there than this one...
Heaven has a Hell of a band, and one wild dancing man 🕺🤣.
They always had so much fun on stage usually because they were SO stoned !
How can you not love these guys?
I am now 61, when these blokes at prime I was not privy to TV as a Wringer , Jackaroo out Bush. I thanks RUclips, and am so sad these blokes could become 20yrs younger and come back. AJ.
That was the Best! Right in the middle of their Hey Day!
So underrated what an amazing band. Love their music.
THIS is when they were the GREATEST!
I LOVE THE TIGHT JEANS ❤️❤️ GUYS!!!!!!!😁🎼🎤😍🎵🎶😘😘😘😘😘
I miss real hippies
Dr Hook was so great, Wish there was such a thing as a time machine so I could go back and see them live in concert. RIP Ray and Billy. Y'all may be gone from this old earth but you guys and your music will live on.

Oh, my God, I would like to be at this concert!
How high are these dudes! Bang on with harmonies and music, though.
Love these guys.
In an other performance of this song, Ray sings "I went to my dealer to get me a lid." -- that's an OUNCE of weed.
Awesome that band is fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍❣️😍🤩☀️
Thank you.
Yodeling is quite difficult. Much love for the entertainment!
I miss these men. Billy is hysterical however what a voice. Ray and Dennis just beautiful. All of them extremely talented
I listen every day to my fond memories

Hahaha! Just Gotta Love It! Best Band Ever!!! I mean Seriously! Has Anyone Ever heard the King of Rock n Roll yodel? No you haven’t! Have you ever heard Steven Tyler yodel? Or Mick? Or Anyone besides Ray? I haven’t! Elvis didn’t yodel people! I think it’s very impressive! Dr. Hook is just Fantastic!!! RIP Ray,. Such a Great Band & So underrated!!!
I got a Yodel.
FANTASTICCCC...The joy of music..Absolutely fantastic..I'm happy very happy when I watch this video...Amazing
Goodness me, that's pure entertainment right there. Incredible.
I wish I had grown up in this time period and seen these guys in concert. As amazed as I am now , I couldn’t even imagine being there live. Billy laughing looks like Cheech from Up in Smoke. Awesome 👏
They were my first concert ever, it was a free show in Wytheville, VA when I was Like 12 years old. It was awesome!!!
A friend shared this on Facebook and I had not heard it in a long time!! So glad I found it here today! Never know what shenanigans will show up with Dr. Hook! Wanted to share with group today. Thank you Ronja! 😂❤🎶
These are the kinda folks I like to hang out with. Real people havin fun.
Always liked Dr Hook right from a teenager, they are brilliant ! Sylvia's Mother brings a lump to my throat , the desperate horror and finality of it all. The quality and comradeship really shines through.xxxx
I have listened to these guys for fifty years, but, never seen them in person, or seen any videos , until about 2 years ago. After seeing the videos of them, I am addicted to them, they are true entertainment, I wish they were still around, I would get tickets in a heartbeat.
I seen them years ago and there still as good as they was year ago
wunderschöner ( genialer Song ) song und Spass, 10 von 10 sternen
Amazing group
We miss you Ray 😢
Ray Sawyer was so talented.....and darned sexy!!!
Yes he was!!
Pretty sweaty too.
Yes
Thank the innumerable gods - I thought I was the only one who thought he was as hot as firework's *rse!
They put on one hell of a live concert
Ray you are so cool!!!!!!! Sing it son!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this. This is why the country music establishment was so against hippies co-opting country music.
Awesome buckdancing by Billy. Ray was
first class yodeler. Miss that band and the fun they brought to music.
There are some songs I wished they never ended. This is one of them,
it's comedy & singing all thrown together. Brilliant
Still watching Billy's Buck Dance in 2020!! This never gets old.....love these guys 💜💜🔥🔥🔥

Would have been a lot of fun to see these guys live.
Rest in peace to the legendary triple-yodeler, Ray Sawyer.
My wife walked in and said "That's the biggest smile I've seen in quite a while! Whatcha watching'?" :-)
They all had their own talents which made them Great... Brilliant Band.
Like, MAN, how good is this song. I cannot stop watching it. Both the set up, of it. The shear Talent. the enjoyment, it gave me. The funny bit when the hat got re-arranged, lol.But what a good effort of yodeling. Just loved it. Can appreciate how hard this was to do... AJ.
