What Happened to Dr. Hook?

[jacktoddy]

One of the reasons that Dr Hook were so popular during the 1970's in the UK, was that the public 'just liked them as people'. They were always gracious in the live performances and their songs had a sense of mischief held within - Great band and very fond memories of the band.

I get tickled with my grandchildren's reaction when they realize that this was ( and is ) one of Grandma's favorite bands. I still have the albums to prove it.

Dr Hook's music and live performances are what legendary bands are all about. To entertain our minds and soul.
And that's exactly what Dr Hook did, without missing a heartbeat even when 'stoned' out of their minds! Now that's what you call True Musicianship. If you're over 60 (like I am) then you may recall the music from the 70s with fond memories because that was a time of innocence. Watching bands like Dr Hook perform live is a pleasant stroll down memory lane - they bring back wonderful recollections. So when someone asks 'Whatever happened to Dr Hook?" Well then, you can tell 'em they are alive and well in the responses from folks all over the world like these ones that you're reading!

I remember growing up in the 70s. And Dr hook music was being played everywhere on the radios.

[CarefulWithThatAxeEugene]

The most underrated band of all time they could really play. Most of the time they were blitzed but sounded amazing so many different people in this band that can sing lead vocals. Love this band one of my all time favorites. 🤘

Dr. Hook is one of the reasons the 70's & 80's were the best decades for music.

They were an amazing concert. So talented and a laugh a second. Comedic showmen and amazing music. I can still remember the show 40 years later. :) I still laugh when I remember it.

Silvia’s Mother was a hit when I was in grade 7 in school. I’ll be 70 next week. And I’m a retired nurse. The first time I heard Doctor Hook’s version of Sylvia’s Mother on the radio, I was smitten! Had several record LP’s which are now CD’s. Listen to them regularly. Great band, great tunes thanks to Shel, and still going strong at my house! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

As soon as I heard Sylvia's mother, I was hooked. Been a fan since 1972 and seen them in concert three times, more than any other band. Saw Dennis as a solo artist in Bristol. The audience barely in the hundreds, but Dennis did a truly professional performance. Love their songs. First album I ever bought Sylvia's mother.

I saw them yesterday at Bexhill in East Sussex, the last gig of their 50th Anniversary Tour.Dennis was brilliant and the band and experience just great. I do hope they continue to entertain us, Wow!!

One of my favorite bands of all times! Love the song Last morning

I was a teen in the 70's and loved Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show. Had some of their songs on vinyl. Still like the music they came out with.

I started dating a girl in September 1979 and when your in love with a beautiful woman had just charted, I bought the single and played it all the time😂😂😂.
43yrs later and were still together.
Years from now is one of my favourite songs ever.

[TinekeWilliams]

Loved DrHook! All the songs were just beautiful! No other band had voices so good! Went to their concert in New Zealand and found myself shouting and crying with the lot!

Since 2020 when i first got to understand Dr Hook on u tube they are now my favourite band of all time & i am 56 of age. I’m just an average music person who likes all sorts that catches my attention. When i got to hear Dr Hook then it was a different ball game, only through u tube i got to get the privilege of knowing this amazing band, totally changed my mind set…. It’s the greatest guilty pleasure I’ve ever had. I never go with out a Dr Hook fix, its the only real thing in my life i get a real kick out of. Got to say Dennis Locorriere has the most wonderful voice, but all in all the band & with all the musicians over the years were spot on. What a joy to listen to this kind of music ❤️ some people look forward but i look backwards, thats where the real music started ✊ Thank you for the music Dr Hook & never forget Ron Haffkine & Shel Silverstein they made them 🥰❤️

Grew up listening to these guys…still listen now. I’m 44

I believe Dr Hook were more popular in Australia ( per capita) than anywhere else in the world. One of my favourite bands, deserved more recognition than they received!

[juliecarmichael]

I seen them in California when I was 18. They were fantastic. One of the best memories I have.

[deborahquick]

I don't know what was wrong with people back in the '70s they were one of the best groups out there that should have spent more time buying and listen to their music
