Never thought I would ever in my life time get to see Silvia and her mom. My life is complete!

[SavoirRare]

This is why I love the Internet. Who ever thought that we would actually be able to see Sylvia's mother...AND Sylvia; and get the real story directly from them?

Dennis doesnt just sing the words....you can actually feel the emotions as he sings....great singer, great song, great band!!!!

Gone through my life with a broken heart. Sylvia’s Mother gives me solace that I am not alone.

I am so happy that Mrs. Avery is off the hook for this.... and to see Sylvia amazing memories

Shel wrote the best line in all of rock music " Well, we're big rock singers, we've got golden fingers, and we're loved everywhere we go. We sing about beauty, and we sing about truth, for ten-thousand dollars a show."

Truly a Beautiful song with a real meaning behind it . Wish they write songs like this today

I loved Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show.

R.I.P Ray Sawyer. Amazing story and fantastic to hear Silvia and her mother being interviewed. I always felt it had to be a true story because the emotion transcends the song. Impossible for Silvia not to feel anything after having been immortalized in song💖

I wish Shel was still with us. What a talented and passionate person when it came to his work.

This is amazing…. One of the most soulful songs ever. Sylvia is a real person and an amazing one at that.

Wish they could have shown a photo of Sylvia back when she was young.

WOW!!!! I had no idea that the song was actually true. I love that.

[coolzip]

Funny. I had this song stuck in my head all day yesterday. Now I see this video. Wow! Never saw it coming. Thanks!

For years, this song has made me tear up every time I've heard it and here once again, I hear it and have grab tissue and I'm nearly 70 now!!! Dr. Hook was one of my favorites.

[sylviamccullers]

I must have had this song sung to me 1000 times during the first couple years after it came out . I'm 61 now and every once in a while someone will still sing a bit of it for me .

I thought of this video for some reason today. And am enjoying it once again. Mrs. Pandolfi (Sylvia's mother) was a dear friend and colleague of my mother, and her granddaughter (Sylvia's daughter) would come out to our town (Beecher, Illiinois) to visit us in the summer. We were about the same age. I think about their family often.

Holy sh t, I still get choked up listening to this 35 years later. Dr. Hook had many great hits.
