Ray Sawyer, eye patch one, is my cousin on my father's side. Always heard good things about him but wasnt close to any family on that side of the family. Always liked the band even before I found out i was related to a member.
Dr. Hook was actually a VERY underrated band in my opinion. Over the years they’ve done rock, pop, country, and this one even had a disco vibe. This, along with “Sharing The Night Together” (which I think you’ve already reacted to previously) are my favorites, but next, you guys need to delve more into their mellow and sensual side with “A Little Bit More”. “Only Sixteen”, which is a cover of a late 1950’s hit by Sam Cooke, is also a really good one. You really can’t go wrong with anything by Dr. Hook, honestly. Much love as always, Jay and Amber. You guys are awesome and I always look forward every day to your videos. Keep ‘em coming! ❤
"A very underrated band" who sold 2,276,607 albums, not to mention their single sales? UA-cam seems to be awash at the moment with these silly "underrated" comments. 🙄
Years from now really speaks to me. My husband and I were together for over 38 years and I lost him to mongrel cancer last year. Years from now............
Dr Hook went through a bunch of reinventions, but every thing they did was fun and catchy. This was a fun song to dance to, lots of flirting going on, happy memories. ✌️
Walk Right In is an ooooold that my parents used to listen to with neighbors, but I don't know who was the original artist. They also listened to one called, Barefootin'. Take off your shoes and throw 'em away. Come back and get 'em another day. We're barefootin'. We're barefootin'. 😆
I remember hearing this song at the Atlanta Limelight dance club when they had a disco night in 1980. Of course disco was on the way out by then, but people still had fun dressing up in their 70s disco outfits and just having a good time. I remember every time he would sing "Sexy Eyes" everybody would whisper sing along with the backup singers. :)
Ten years of great songs from a really great band of the 70's. Beautiful voice Dennis Locorriere and funny Ray Sawyer (RIP)...thanks for such sweet music!
For more Dennis listen to "I Light Up", "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Underneath The Moon" from his 2005 solo album "One Of The Lucky Ones". If your not familiar with this solo album. Just giving you more wonderful music by Dennis. If you are familiar with this album 👍👍👍. The entire album is great.
You started out with the 70s party band version of Dr Hook. This song takes you into the 80s soft rock version of the band. The crazy thing is that they are equally great playing each part.
Ray Sawyer is the one with the eyepatch. He has a song that will tear your hearts out called One More Year of Daddy’s Little Girl. It’s quite a change from his usual antics. The lead singer’s name is Dennis Locorriere.
Love that y’all seem to really enjoy the music from my generation. Dr. Hook (& the Medicine Show) is a great novelty band that actually was a serious music group as well. Y’all should check out “Freakin’ At the Freakers Ball”. It’s so funny and fun too. It’s even funnier than “Cover Of The Rolling Stone”. They also have a great song called, “You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance” that’s both funny and great. Thanks for covering the music I’ve loved my entire life. 💜
Dr. Hook was such a great band! When my kids were little I often had a Dr. Hook album on cassette tape playing in the car as the kids and I went about our daily errands, so they learned all those songs at a very young age. Sometimes they didn't get all the words right, like when my daughter was about 4 or 5 and she would sing along at the top of her lungs about "sexy eyes ROLLING across the floor" (instead of moving across the floor). Of course a few years later she would sing it that way just to aggravate me! Anyway, thanks for reacting to Dr.Hook as it brings back a lot of great memories!
I used to listen to my dad's Dr Hook greatest hits tape when I was bored and we were somewhere hanging with folks his own age. I would go through his tape and cd collection and I still love a lot of that music still. Love it. Thank you.
“Only 16” is one of my lifelong favorite songs all genre. It came out when I was only maybe 7 years old, so I was clueless to the meaning, but I loved it anyway
Sylvia's Mother is my favorite Dr. Hook song. In my 50's, I see the perspective of all parties now. Puts an interesting spin on things. Also, it tells a story and isn't something you groove too. Just what you haven't heard yet.
If i was ever granted one wish in life I would take Jordan and Amber back to the Junior High gym in the 70's when these songs were new and were spending that friday or saturday night holding up the walls with our friends abd occasionally going out on the dance floor. But....those days are gone and will never come back.
🇬🇧For both my 50th and 60th birthday I had a 70's disco, just FANTASTIC, everyone from teenagers to grandparents strutting their stuff, literally all night, GREAT music, everybody dancing, just brilliant. The youth of today don't know what they are missing!!!😊
We played it on the jukebox one night just based on the title and no one ever played the a-side again in the bar. Everyone sang along and just laughed. Thank God others remember it besides me.

These best good time and feel good music from Dr. Hook, 70's and early 80's All of their songs are good. A slew of Top 10's
I just love Dr. Hook they were an amazing group with a whole bunch of great hits. I think my favorite is "the cover of the Rolling stone" because they are crazy also.
I had the great fortune (as a teen) to go back stage in the 70's and witness Dennis Locorriere and Ray Sawyer tying up a music journalist with guitar strings and throwing beer all over him. It seems Dr Hook werent too happy with his review 🙂 One of the most enjoayable gigs I have evr seen.
I found 'A Couple More Years ' by Dr. Hook by accident. The '2' button on the jukebox wouldn't stay down until the third time I pushed it. One listen and for the next school year I stopped @ that DQ every time I went home for the weekend and drank a Coke listening to 'A Couple More Years'. This was 46, 47 years(?) ago.
I met the band a long time ago at a club. My roommate and I invited them back to our house to keep the party going after the club closed. They were complete gentlemen and a lot of fun to hang out with. Years later, my roommate saw them again and although they didn't remember her, they did me. Probably because my beers were the only alcohol. lol Great Music from great fellows.
A Little More, Freakin' At The Freakers Ball, there are so many. Their early songs were Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. Author Shel Silverstein wrote a lot of their lyrics. Dennis still tours and sells out concerts in Europe. Dennis has a great voice and Ray blended well.
I love them all, but, A Little Bit More, and Sharing the Night Together are my favorites in that order!!!. Nothing like shouting out Sylvia's Mother though. That's a classic!!! Cover of the Rolling Stone is absolute gold too!!! It's a fun one!! EDIT: Sadly, Ray Sawyer, your guy with the patch on his eye, died in 2018. I thought it was a bit more recent than that. Time flies!!
Check out Ray Sawyers (the one with the eye patch) song Daddys Little Girl. It's a true story and will bring a tear to your eyes. The saddest song I've ever heard.
When I was about 10, in 4th grade (1981 or so), my classmate, Jessie, brought his dad in for "show and tell"; it was Dennis Locorriere from Dr. Hook. At the time, I was a Queen fan, so I asked Mr. Lacorriere, "are you allowed to like Queen"...my young mind thought there had to be some kind of inter-band loyalty. He patiently answered, "Yes, yes, we're allowed to like Queen". Years later, watching Ozark, there was an actor I felt a great vibe from and really didn't know why I liked this guy so much. Checking IMDB, it was Jessie, my VERY old classmate. It's all a little weird, because from what I remember, we weren't really friends. He was a cool kid but I don't really remember anything else about him.
Ok, young'uns-- Now you hafta do Hot Chocolate's 1976 disco hit "You Sexy Thing"!! Was a big hit with the roller disco crowd all the way into the early 80's!! As always, Blessed Be, & Peace!! 🙏☮
Just the visual in my head alone of Jay and Amber dancing like Amber was describing is honestly funny and cute at the same time! Can we get a recreation of that in real time?
Yeah... These guys will give you musical whiplash going back and forth from super-smooth songs like this to the utter unpmoothness of "I Got Stoned and I Missed It!"
Ray Sawyer is the one wearing eye patch, which is real patch, as he lost his right eye in an auto accident. In my opinion one of the better '70's bands.
When You're In Love with a Beautiful Woman is such a good song.
Don't forget " Better luck next time"
I agree
Beautiful Woman was such a great song!! 😊
They have reacted to "When You're In Love with a Beautiful Woman" 11 months ago.
Love Dr.Hook! Along with this one,I really love “Sharing the Night together” , “ Little bit more.” Also “Sylvia’s mother.” 🤎🤍👍
Would you mind?
When you're in love with a beautiful woman.@@acornsucks2111
All of the above for sure. I was hooked from the very first song I'd heard from them. The cover of the rolling stone.
I agree 100% with all of those. All great songs!
Better love next time, only sixteen, and millionaire!
I love Sexy Eyes…..it made the R&B charts.
It sure did! I forgot all about that. “Sharing The Night Together” made the country charts, which just goes to show how musically diverse they were.
Ray Sawyer, eye patch one, is my cousin on my father's side. Always heard good things about him but wasnt close to any family on that side of the family. Always liked the band even before I found out i was related to a member.
Any relation to a Tom Sawyer? 😂
Sharing the night together is so good!
That's my favorite by them.
Dr. Hook was actually a VERY underrated band in my opinion. Over the years they’ve done rock, pop, country, and this one even had a disco vibe. This, along with “Sharing The Night Together” (which I think you’ve already reacted to previously) are my favorites, but next, you guys need to delve more into their mellow and sensual side with “A Little Bit More”. “Only Sixteen”, which is a cover of a late 1950’s hit by Sam Cooke, is also a really good one.

"A very underrated band" who sold 2,276,607 albums, not to mention their single sales? UA-cam seems to be awash at the moment with these silly "underrated" comments. 🙄
@@narabdela just my opinion, which you’re more than welcome to disagree with, but there’s no need to be rude.
The late 70s / early 80s was an awesome time for soft rock: Dr Hook, Cliff Richard, Olivia Newton-John, Paul Davis, Dan Fogelberg, Kenny Rogers…
All of my favorites! Also have a soft spot for Ambrosia and Andy Williams! There a few more 70's and 80's bands i could mention!
I wish they'd react to another Cliff Richard song. They loved "We Don't Talk Anymore," but the video got taken down.
She was only Sixteen, Sylvia's Mother, A Little Bit More, Years From Now, and If Not You, are all great songs of theirs.
Years from now really speaks to me. My husband and I were together for over 38 years and I lost him to mongrel cancer last year. Years from now............
Yes! Only Sixteen! That was THE song when I was in junior high.
They have like 30 or 40 big songs Love your 70s songs Jay n Amber.
One of my all-time favorite bands!!!
Thank you for listening 👊🏼👍🏼!!
Dr Hook went through a bunch of reinventions, but every thing they did was fun and catchy. This was a fun song to dance to, lots of flirting going on, happy memories. ✌️
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Only Sixteen" !!
-cheers !-
Yes, only Sixteen is awesome.
Originally written and recorded by Mr. Sam Cooke, which I personally think is much better than Dr. Hook's cover.
Someone may call the authorities.
Love BOTH Dr. Hook AND Sam Cooke's version(s)!!!
One of the greatest pop bands of the seventies hands down❤❤👍👍🤘🤘
Watch Amber' s eyes when they sing "sexy eyes": Wonderful!
Check out “ Sweetest Of All”, “Walk Right In”, “A Couple More Years”, and “Sylvia’s Mother”.
Walk Right In is an ooooold that my parents used to listen to with neighbors, but I don't know who was the original artist. They also listened to one called, Barefootin'.
Take off your shoes and throw 'em away.
Come back and get 'em another day.
We're barefootin'.
We're barefootin'.
😆
Oh, I forgot about, Sweetest of All!!! I agree!!! I just love them all!
Yes indeed, "A Little Bit More" and "If Not You" are great songs.

Dr Hook had so many great songs. Love listening to them!
You started out with the 70s party band version of Dr Hook. This song takes you into the 80s soft rock version of the band. The crazy thing is that they are equally great playing each part.
Amber you like 70s music you had to be there in person the 70s were FABULAS.
This was still the 70s april 1979
DR HOOK IS SUCH AN EXCELLENT BAND
Ray Sawyer is the one with the eyepatch. He has a song that will tear your hearts out called One More Year of Daddy’s Little Girl. It’s quite a change from his usual antics. The lead singer’s name is Dennis Locorriere.
The "eye patch" guy is Ray Sawyer. He's quite a talent all on his own.
Love that y’all seem to really enjoy the music from my generation. Dr. Hook (& the Medicine Show) is a great novelty band that actually was a serious music group as well. Y’all should check out “Freakin’ At the Freakers Ball”. It’s so funny and fun too. It’s even funnier than “Cover Of The Rolling Stone”. They also have a great song called, “You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance” that’s both funny and great. Thanks for covering the music I’ve loved my entire life. 💜
Both good suggestions. I would like to add "Roland the Roadie and Gertrude the Groupie" to the list.
Two opposite sides of Dr. Hook, Ballad "Sylvia's Mother", Fun "Freakin at the Freaker's Ball". Both are worth your time.
They reacted to "Sylvia's Mother" a year ago.
The soup stone is a great song of theirs.
Dr. Hook was such a great band! When my kids were little I often had a Dr. Hook album on cassette tape playing in the car as the kids and I went about our daily errands, so they learned all those songs at a very young age.

Of course a few years later she would sing it that way just to aggravate me! Anyway, thanks for reacting to Dr.Hook as it brings back a lot of great memories!
This song has Bee Gees/Saturday Night Fever vibes. It was a nice change for them. You should check out A Little Bit More by Dr. Hook.
Thank you for reviving this. At one point this was my absolute favorite song.
Listen to Sharing the night together… my favorite..🔥🔥🔥
I used to listen to my dad's Dr Hook greatest hits tape when I was bored and we were somewhere hanging with folks his own age. I would go through his tape and cd collection and I still love a lot of that music still. Love it. Thank you.
Dr Hook has such a great combination of different types of great music and fun that they so easy to be fans of in the 70s and early 80s.
YES!! So glad you looked at this classic...these guys were a blast. Vibin" with yall tonight:) Thank so much!
"Girls can get it", "Everybody's makin it big" but me and Carry me Carrie" were real good songs too.
Love me some Dr. Hook. You might enjoy: Walk Right In - Only Sixteen - A Little Bit More. Thanks for the reaction, guys!!
“Only 16” is one of my lifelong favorite songs all genre. It came out when I was only maybe 7 years old, so I was clueless to the meaning, but I loved it anyway
Get ‘em Amber! 😂❤. One of my favorites I grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and my mom made me love music! I am so lucky. You guys have a blessed one!
1979,then end of an era of the greatest 10 years in music history, change my mind.
Sylvia's Mother is my favorite Dr. Hook song. In my 50's, I see the perspective of all parties now. Puts an interesting spin on things. Also, it tells a story and isn't something you groove too. Just what you haven't heard yet.
They already reacted to this beautiful song! ua-cam.com/video/I1-5sPThvi0/v-deo.html
Jay that's like the 5th Dr. Hook song you've covered. I can't believe you forgot Sylvia or When you're in love with a beautiful woman. 😉
Baby makes her blue jeans talk is one of my favourite Dr. Hook songs. I have that one on my workout playlist lol
If i was ever granted one wish in life I would take Jordan and Amber back to the Junior High gym in the 70's when these songs were new and were spending that friday or saturday night holding up the walls with our friends abd occasionally going out on the dance floor. But....those days are gone and will never come back.

Wow! I haven't heard this song in soooooo many years but still know the words! Amazing 😊❤
Queen of the silver dollar and carry me carrie are some of my favorite Dr.Hook songs.

Haven't heard this in ages! Love it. 👁 👁
I’ve been waiting for this one!! 😊
I saw them in concert in the late 70's at Six Flags Over Georgia of all places and they sounded amazing live!
"I Got Stoned And I Missed It" by Dr. Hook...guaranteed to have ya guys in stitches
I remember when this came out. Me and my older sister loved it so much.❤❤❤❤
I Got Stoned And I Missed It live with keyboard player Billy Cummings singing are a classic
Oh goodness, I love Dr. Hook, great song! ♥️💖💞💕🌸🌸🌸
Great Choice! Pretty sure I haven't heard this one since back in the day! Great Reaction You Guys. :)
“Years From Now” is my favorite Dr Hook song!
"Baby makes her blue jeans talk" is a great song from Dr. Hook. As someone else said, you have to watch the video with it ❤
I've said it before and I'll say it again. One of the most powerful songs ever recorded is "Kiss it away" by Dr hook and the traveling medicine show.
Always loved Dr Hook!!! Still have their album!! Amber I loved watching your reaction for sure on this one. Just too cute!!!
Oh I have forgotten all about this one. Great song.
I love them all, but, A Little Bit More, and Sharing the Night Together are my favorites in that order!!!. Nothing like shouting out Sylvia's Mother though. That's a classic!!! Cover of the Rolling Stone is absolute gold too!!! It's a fun one!! EDIT: Sadly, Ray Sawyer, your guy with the patch on his eye, died in 2018. I thought it was a bit more recent than that. Time flies!!
The Queen of the Silver Dollar by Dr Hook & The Medicine Show is bad-azz.
"A little bit more" should be your next reaction from Dr Hook. It's a beautiful ballad. Much love from England 🏴
Check out Ray Sawyers (the one with the eye patch) song Daddys Little Girl. It's a true story and will bring a tear to your eyes. The saddest song I've ever heard.
Great song, I forgot who sang this one! Love it !!❤
Glad you guys did this one !!❤❤❤

Love Dr Hook. Now you must do " I got stoned and I missed it" or " A little bit more". Both bangers. Peace and Love
OMG, Dr Hook is my all time favorite band
Ok, young'uns-- Now you hafta do Hot Chocolate's 1976 disco hit "You Sexy Thing"!! Was a big hit with the roller disco crowd all the way into the early 80's!! As always, Blessed Be, & Peace!! 🙏☮
My first live show 1977 78 I was about 14 They were at the State fair, Huntsville AL. Love Dr Hook ✌️❤️🎶
Best maracas player is in "Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66".
Look for the video where the band is introduced by Eartha Kitt.
I completely forgot about this song. Thanks for reminding me of this gem.
Dr Hook was my go-to tripping band. I’m 23 and not many people my age know this band.
I had forgotten about this beautiful song!! Love your reactions
Love the comedy they bring every time!
I could see the Bee Gees doing this song.
Total genre hopping legends for real!!
Dr. Hook was a very good live band !
Such a great song as great group. Great reaction. Firefall is another group, you should check out as well.
“One true friend” is a great one too!!….. beautiful lyrics …
That’s part of the lyrics from “Years From Now”
@@jentommyontheroad8089 yess!! I got confused 😝
A little bit more and Carry Me Carrie are two of my favorite Dr. Hook tunes
Just the visual in my head alone of Jay and Amber dancing like Amber was describing is honestly funny and cute at the same time! Can we get a recreation of that in real time?
Man you can’t go wrong with Dr Hook..please dig in more to this group..they will surprise you..
Yeah... These guys will give you musical whiplash going back and forth from super-smooth songs like this to the utter unpmoothness of "I Got Stoned and I Missed It!"
This has to be one of my favourite Dr Hook Songs Like I mean out of all the songs he made this one is my fav 🙌🙌🙌
Hey Jay and Amber!!! I think the yodel song J was referring to is accurately called Hocus Pocus by the band Focus! Just FYI.
Another great song that I completeiy forgot about. Gotta love this channel. Thanks for all you do.
Love Dr.Hook amazing band!
Amazing how much they cleaned themselves up after Cover of the Rolling Stone.
They have some silly fun songs that you would blush at 😂
"Better Love Next Time" is another fabulous song by the amazing Dr Hook, "Sharing The Night Together" & "Sylvia's Mother" also. ❤
Who knew Richard Petty was moonlighting with Dr. Hook? Ha ha!
Can never go wrong with Dr. Hook !!!!
Ray Sawyer is the one wearing eye patch, which is real patch, as he lost his right eye in an auto accident. In my opinion one of the better '70's bands.
Cover of the Rolling Stone and Sylvia's Mother are my favs. But this is funky! It has a disco vibe to it and I didn't know they did music like this.
Met these guys backstage in th 80s, they were so normal, down to earth, real, friendly and fun
🇬🇧 I loved this band (still do) & I adore this song. I'm excited for this reaction. I hope you like it. ❤🎼🎶
I forgot Dr Hook did this! I love this song!
👍🏼
I've always thought Dr. Hook made the most seamless transition to disco.
