The most underrated, beautiful band of the decades! Loved them all! RIP Ray Sawyer!
ER WAR EIN WUNDERBARER SÄNGER ! ER WIRD IMMER IN ERINNERUNG BLEIBEN
DURCH SEINE MUSIK 👏👏👍👍❤❤ DANKE!
Ray you are not forgotten you gave all of us your all till we met again jam on I will always love the wonderful soup stone!!!
Dr Hook is one of the most under rated bands ever. They never got the respect/recognition that such a talented group deserved.
RIP from A true fan of DR. Hook in the 70s & today I here your music today & it takes me back to my youth, you will be missed
I always liked the yodel song Ray did. Such a talented charismatic person. Great group
Only those who were truly paying attention will truly know.
Ray, thanks for the heart and soul.
Two little girls’ daddy.
Was able to see Ray live in a small club near Toronto, Canada several years before he passed ...... one of the best live shows I have ever been to !! A talented, charismatic performer - will be missed. Thank you for all the great music - keep playing wherever you are !!
Thank You Ray Sawyer for being such a wonderful part of my life. I was a Dr. Hook fan and you were Dr. Hook to me. Your showmen ship and the joy, humor and talent made center stage for me every time I watched the Medicine Show perform. RIP Ray
Oh,FATHER....please bless this person. I don't know about his life, yet I feel he couldn't have been too BAD. And he has given me (and others) more than we could ever ask. Keep him in your grases. I'll always love his music and his seeming attitude. Luv ya, bye Ray. I'LL BE LISTENING.........🌹🇱🇷😎
Loved the way they always seemed to have a good time while performing. Great songs and good fun, thats how I like to remember Them.
Yes you could tell they had such a passion for their music and that they loved singing together.
A naughty man with a heart of gold; I hope he's somewhere having fun, not worrying about anything and thank you, your music still lives here and makes people smile.
What a terrible loss. He's the guy that put the color in the band. And a great talent to boot. Rest in peace man. We will never forget you.
He had a great personality and made the band fun as well as great music .One of my favorite bands of all time. Loved them
„Carry me!!! You gotta carry me...!!!!“. I never forgot his dancing handclapping...Danke für diese Erlebnis-Musik! Du warst grossartig!!!
I worked the Daytona Beach Airport Checkpoint, and about once a week he would go though with his Son to his different shows. Very quiet and nice person. I remember watching him years ago on the Saturday night music shows. Eddie Money used to go through regularly too. Miss talking with him. RIP Gentlemen.
I grew up on this music as my parents where HUGE fans. I am much younger then your usual fan base but I can promise you that my children know every word to ‘millionaire’ and ‘cover of the rolling stone’
Your music is timeless and I won’t let it fade Away . Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all those long car trips screaming ‘I got stoned and I missed it’ in the car with my otherwise quite conservative parents lol lol
Rest peacefully Ray ❤️
You made me sooo happy, in my youth god bless you xxxx
Thanks so much for this! He was born February 1, 1937. When he's resurrected, he'll have sight in both eyes.
Gary Kerns AMEN!!!!!!😎😎🎵🎵🎵🎵
He's gone but he'll never be forgotten rip Ray
Rest in peace Ray. Loved all your songs.
God Bless you Ray. Thanks for the music

The Voice of music is gone. Fans around the world are remember a 70s icon of the band. Ray Sawyer Dr. Hook has died. He had many hits such as Sylvia's Mother, The Cover of The Rolling Stone,A Little Bit More, Only Sixteen, Walk Right In, Sharing The Night Together When You're In Love with A Beautiful Woman and more. Ray Sawyer also known as Dr. Hook was 75. And remembering....
ALWAYS A STAR IN MY BOOK. R,I,P RAY.
I don't believe that they were ever recognized for the great range of talent and the music they produced.
RIP RAY you were great.
I had just downloaded Dr. Hook music to my playlist. I am shocked and saddened. Tonight I had just played "When you're in love with a beautiful woman". . . I'M SHOCKED!!!. Rest In Eternal Peace Mr. Ray Sawyer.

Was a pleasure to work with you Ray RIP my friend
🥀Beautiful🥀This is one of the hardest tributes I've done. There would have never been Dr Hook without Ray he was a brilliant artist in everyway. I 1st saw them in Atlanta Ga in the 70s I was 13yrs old they were an opening act for Rare Earth it was then I fell in love with them and haven't stopped. This was so Beautiful Thank you for sharing your life n love in music.
🥀RIP Ray Sawyer We Love You Forever🥀✌
BROTHER RAY,😎 YOU ARE SADLY MISSED HERE ON EARTH!!!!!😑😑😑 BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN HEAVEN 😇🙏🙌 WITH GOD 🙏 AND HIS ANGELS 🙏!!!!!!!😉 YOU ARE SINGING FOR GOD NOW 🙏😇!!!!!!!!!! WE MISS AND LOVE YOU ❤️♥️ RAY 😎❤️!!!!!!!
Loved your magical wit and music. When I hear Dr. Hook I am reminded of being young and in love. You lasted longer than the love I thought was mine.
Rest in Peace Ray.
For anyone growing up in those times in the 70's Ray always came across as guy who could be a brother and maybe even a best buddy..RIP Ray
" cover of the rolling stone" has been my wake up alarm on my phone for years....rest in peace Ray,rest in peace Shel....we will always love you both.
I miss them so much too. I’m sure you’ve seen them singing “Sylvias Mother” on Shel’s houseboat? It’s such a legendary video!!! Check it out if you haven’t. You will LOVE IT. It sure takes me back.
He was the true spirit of Rock in the 70's...malice toward none...just wanted to succeed playing music & having a good time.
Sorry he's gone!
Interesting choice for an alarm to wake up to :D do you think of it as a motivating factor to start the day?
Thank you for the music, Ray Sawyer.
Thanks Ray. You always left us smiling. Freakers ball..
The most underrated singer and songwriter. He was one in a million rip ray sawyer
A simple tribute , simply a legend
Saw Ray and (Dr. Hook) in the late 80's here in Ontario, it was a great show...... I have two particular favourites by Ray from an album I had by him on his own...."Red Winged Blackbird" and "Maybe I Could Use That In A Song"....... and I do like his version of "Don't Play That Song".
I am a long time fan of Dr.Hook .Count myself as fortunate to have seen them in concert many years ago. They played with much passion and had a unique sound . RIP Ray your music will forever carry on. thanks
Thank you for the memories Ray. Rest in peace
I have always admired Ray Sawyer he never let his disability affect his ability to make life fun and entertaining for the fans may god bless him the same way that he blessed us with his beautiful music Amen
Ray in the band you turn me on back in the early 70s when I was a teenager I'm now 60 and I still listen to your music may you rest in peace brother have all your albums on vinyl that you ever put out since day one and everything on CDs you and the band were incredible in my eyes see you when I get to heaven so I can shake your hand
I was a DR Hook fan forever and Ray was always my favorite, he could sing such a range from good times doing Cover of the Rolling Stone to his heart wrenching "One more year.." his musical impact will never before gotten RIP
Wow whT happened
God will people stop say RIP. I realise it's meant for respect but you can't possibly rest in peace when you are dead.
Nobody sang it as soft as you Ray. RIP Brother.
A true 70s pop band, that will always be remembered. Some great hits. R.I.P. Ray.
My favourite band as a kid, say Ray live in Windsor, Ontario. When Cover of the rolling stone was played I sang at the top of my lungs. Ray spoke into the mic "you want to sing this?" he asked and started laughing with the band. After the show I was invited to party with the band back at the Holiday Inn. One of my best memories ever.
i. grew. up. listening. to. Dr Hook
and. i. loved. their. songs. so. sad
he. passed. away RIP. Ray. i. will
miss. you
I am so glad that they recognized Ray Sawyer as a great asset to the group. He is the one that stood out the most. Anytime, i remember Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show, Ray Sawyer's face pops into my mind. So sad you are gone. It was a great group back in the day. They were good songs. Some fun songs, and songs i remember.
What a beautiful heartwarming and tearful tribute to a one of a kind individual who did just what he loved. Mr. Sawyer has gone far too soon, but there are more plans for him in heaven. R.I.P. Mr Sawyer, maybe if I'm lucky enough, I'll see you in the great beyond.
I'll never forget the BBC 1980 video concert in studio, with Ray singing Cover of the Rolling Stone & the JOY that he showed singing it & skipping across the stage as the band played the ROCK & ROLL solos! That band had FUN on stage! And, the harmony Ray sang with his 2 buddies on Sylvia's Mother, at Shel Silverstien's house boat on the San Francisco Bay. Ray strutted around after the recording! God bless him! He inspired me to get the band back together again : )
I Loved him and his songs and especially the way he carried himself on stage when he danced and how he Loved his fellow musicians . Forever young now in heaven with both eyes open . 👍
I have a personal Top 40 and 1/3 of them are Dr. Hook. The rest are Pink Floyd, Moody Blues and Dire Straits. Ray and the boys could hold their heads high. They are right there along side the very best. There IS a rock and roll heaven and they DO have one hellofa band. Peace 🎸🙋🏻♂️
You will be so missed! There was something special about your music & the way you performed. I still play the music every day and enjoy it just as much as in the 70’s.
R.I.P. my friend 🦋
Mr. Sawyer was a wonderful musician with a great sense of fun, sadly missed in this world.
One of my wife's favorite groups.We saw them in concert,went backstage,got autographs on cassette & CD.Ray would take a shower after concerts on the bus & then talk to the fans.A great memory for both of us!
I loved Ray Sawyer he was "sooo good with the music and had fun with it also". The band Dr.Hook did not get enough recognition. 💋💋😘😘💜💜💚💚💛💛
God bless Ray Sawyer the same way that he blessed us with his music
I was born in 1985. I never really got to experience Dr. Hook the way I wanted. However I think he would be happy to know that future generations can see the raw talent passion and grit. It won't be forgotten. His music, his life's work will always grace the world. We were lucky to have had him.
This guy was the most down to earth person you ever want to meet! I was at Gulf Stream casino in South Florida about 15. He was there performing. After the show he came down in the audience to mix with his fans. Was a real gentleman. You could tell he was a hard working man by his hand shake! R.I.P. Ray Sawer you were one of a kind.
I had the greatest honour to meet Ray ad Dennis In 1982 when they performed in Cairns Australia they were as fantastic off stage as on and I will remember that night for the rest of y life , thank you Dr Hook
Rest in peace...one of my very favorite performets. Thank you for your gift
Thank you Ray for making my teen years filled with great music....God speed
Ray and dr. Hook was one band that was always there for me
Loved Dr. Hook all my adult life - your music was - R.I.P Ray.
Keep on rockin on the other side.
RIP Ray..... I heard he was one of the nicest guys ever. I sure miss him. Heck...... I just miss the 70’s altogether.
Rest In Peace Ray.
Thanks Ray for sharing all your great talent wuth us! It been a privilege! I still enjoy watching you perform!
Rest in peace, Ray. Your harmonies were top notch, particularly on Sylvia’s Mother which you made one of my favorite all time songs.
A wonderful band and Ray was the dominant member. I love loads of their songs. Thanks for the music Ray. R.I.P.
He will be missed. I grew up on his music. What great songs he sang. Thinking of the many nights cruising to his tunes, drinking beer and looking for chicks. RIP
Great band , Ray was a great character and singer , saw them several times in the 70s . Great laugh s and music 😁 RIP RAY 😢
I remember as a kid of 18, working by myself at a gas station, listening to Dr. Hook, through the night on 3rd shift . They and other groups of that wonderful era got me through the night . It was early 1973 .
i am so sorry to hear this he was a great singer and a great man for his time we all loved him....
How sad.What a character.Love Dr Hook.Their songs got me through college,a broken heart and being away from home back in the days of old.Thank you sir and RIP.💗☘️🇺🇸
Let's not forget the classic - I got stoned and I missed it...
Rest in peace brother it's like a piece of my childhood passing away as well
Funny to say it, but I loved that man. I still do. He's my mums ever music and I sung along so much. God Bless.

Rest in Peace, your music was great, and you will be sadly missed.
Thanks for the wonderful music forever a fan
I had the pleasure and honor to pull security for Ray in 1999. I was in charge of his dressing room and responsible for keeping his ice chest in the dressing room and on his bus stocked. Thanks for the memories Mr Sawyer. I’ll never forget it. I took the band to a party after the show. Ray declined. He said he needed his beauty sleep. Being 60 now, I get it.
What a beautifull tribute for ray so sadly missed by us all rip
They never got the respect or attention they definitely deserve - notice, no mention in MSM...bruce
Totally agree....
They got my respect. I think who respects you is much more important than how many respect you. They brought me many hours of happiness. Much of it as I sang their songs in my head.
Ray The Dr hook funny guy good singer and dancer will always live in my heart Away to another plane now and spread your vibe Always miss your madness Keep on Keeping on LOVE AND KIND REGARDS
Ray, you always made us smile, so talented and fun. Cover of the Rolling Stone is so popular and famous it's in my head FOREVER!!!!!
its never easy to say good bye. He made alot of People Happy with His Appearance and music
Definitely a child of the 60,s god bless your soul in the front row in rock and roll heaven
R.I.P Ray Sawyer thank you for the fabulous music , go sing with the big and growing Rock and Roll band in the sky. You will be missed but we will still have your music. 💖💖
My favourite thing to song was daddy's little girl amongst the other's little all his music was pretty dam good
@@allanhaim2779 So full of emotion. He probably was thinking of his own little girl while singing it. I'll miss him. He was my favorite.
I loved his music I was even surprised to see my father liking his music. Sad to hear of his passing
Such a great voice with so much soul. He'll continue to be an inspiration to other artists and everyone who loves the sound of an amazing singing voice. Thank you Ray, for inspiring me for years.
RIP Ray 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So sad oh how I enjoyed the music that WILL GO ON FOREVER R.I.P my condolences to the band

When i think back at my childhood in the 1970's and 80's i remember Dr Hook songs always playing on the radio or at home,
they were carefree days.
I listen to their songs every other day now and it just takes me back and i smile and reminisce.
RIP Patch
Same here. It reminds me so much of being young and carefree in the 70’s. Life was easy.
