Talk about putting you're heart and soul into a song. I think Dennis was probably able to do this almost every time. It was his true calling. His voice was fucking awesome
I am always amazed at his range. Usually he is so numb from being high and cutting up during songs but apparently this is after Dennis cleaned up a little .The pain is showing through in his voice and eyes and body language too!. I hate when that happens.
The full emotional impact of this song really hits you in this version. Maybe we're all older and wiser. Maybe now that the band is sober the pain shines through more and the anger a little less. Idk what it is exactly, but omg.....the feels!!
No one can sing this song like Dennis, it moves me every time I hear it. I can feel the big rip left in his heart by the lose of Sylvia. I have to go now it's starting to rain.
Never realized how great this song was till I saw him do this version at the Bedford County fairgrounds when the band took a break. He did a few unplugged songs. This brought the house down bcuz he was jamming and wailing!! He brought it up to such an awesome last bridge and ending. Better than this!!! That was in the 80s.
His voice is stunning here. Unfortunately his voice sounds nothing like this good any more - that beautiful tone is gone for ever and you will never hear him sing like this again which is genuinely tragic. He was an accessible, uncelebrated great.
Follow it to the end and you'll understand what they say in the business..."come on put all you got into it, make it believable, sing it like you don't need the money and enjoy it all the way through"...this guy does exactly that!
🥀Beautiful Sad Love Song! Leave it to Dennis Locorriere of Dr Hook to keep it going. I love acoustic version it's natural seems more personal. I love this song🥀✌🥀☝️
This is the best version of this song vocally! I miss the steal guitar that is in the recorded version. But this one vocally is the best by far. You can see he is feeling the music!!!!
No doubt this version highlights Dennis's wonderful voice, but I prefer the 72 live version. The harmonies are an integral part of this classic. I miss Ray here. When he joins in I feel chills running through me.
He looks madder than hell, having to sing this. It is a beautiful song and it is perfect for his voice. He is doing us all a favor to sing it for us, no?
I don't know any thing about music , but this song works in a perfect time frame the whole narrative fits in squarely flanked by the correct amount of despair and longing. I just wish I had wrote it.
what a voice... ja... die Stimme und die Gitarre... perfekte Intoninierung mit einmaligem künstlerischem Beiwerk.... Ausnahmekönner... die jedoch auch das Handwerk perfekt beherrschen .... that's all I want to say... Astonishment and Fascination and great Songwriting...
Incredible cover of this GREAT song, this should have a million hits, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED to peoples appreciation for GOOD talent, Oh! I get it, most folks only follow what's popularized by big money. FUCK ALL THAT SHIT - this is GOOD!
Cindy Tack where did you see them at? That must have been amazing!! I just looked up their tour dates and unfortunately they will be nowhere near me. :(

What a voice........truely a God given gift. I Never get tired of hearing this guy sing.
absolutely brilliant rendition of Sylvia's Mother by Denis Locorriere, i love it
Talk about putting you're heart and soul into a song. I think Dennis was probably able to do this almost every time. It was his true calling. His voice was fucking awesome
It still is!
Dennis Locorriere is this fabulous singer.... very distinctive voice
I listen to this song every night! Love to hear him sing!
By far one of the best voices in the world! Smooth like fine silk!
❤!!! And completely timeless ❤ ❤
I am always amazed at his range. Usually he is so numb from being high and cutting up during songs but apparently this is after Dennis cleaned up a little .The pain is showing through in his voice and eyes and body language too!. I hate when that happens.
I remember crying like a baby every time I heard that song, when I was 14 yrs. old.......
The singer put his soul into this. Moving
Amore tanto amore! 😪😪😍😍😍💘♥️💔💔💔💔💔💔
The full emotional impact of this song really hits you in this version. Maybe we're all older and wiser. Maybe now that the band is sober the pain shines through more and the anger a little less. Idk what it is exactly, but omg.....the feels!!
Amen❤✌️
This right here, is why I love music. Oh my God I love music.
Greatest voice ever!😊
One great singer and a great song
Ok..this is probably way to late. But when you did this performance in b.c...
Wow...still moves us. Thanks
Just absolutely superb I was lucky to see him in the late 70s at the odeon cinema and they wer were fantastic
Ffs … what a voice and what a song!!!
God I love this song and I absolutely love this guy he's amazing as always
loved all their songs, but for some reason this is my fave
No one can sing this song like Dennis, it moves me every time I hear it. I can feel the big rip left in his heart by the lose of Sylvia. I have to go now it's starting to rain.
You do know Shel Silverstien wrote this song right? Although I'm sure Dennis had a Sylvia at some point in his life to relate it to.
I loved this version. I also could almost see the ghosts of those not present from the original version.
My fav version
Probably my favorite song ever, and this version is Fantastic!
OMG! So amazing!! song reminds me of my Grandpa who LOVED this song. Can't hear this song without thinking of him. So thanks for the upload!

Love this song, was a favorite of my Dad's. Hes been gone for over 8yrs. Makes me cry!❤
This song is full of love 💜❤️💜
I've been hearing this song since it came out, but it has NEVER made me cry like it did today. Jeez, it broke my heart!
Crying every time.
Shel was good w story songs, like dennis says
Great rendition of s great song. Never gets old
Mit vollem Herzschmerz und Liebe gesungen 😢💔
Still goosebumps This is the best version xxxxxx
Great voice. Great song.
What a beautiful voice. Just a tremendously tender and emotive vibrato
@gttdkt Dennis is the sweetest tempered soul I've ever met, he'd never be angry to perform any of his great repertoire.
Best version ever!
His voice is stunning here. Unfortunately his voice sounds nothing like this good any more - that beautiful tone is gone for ever and you will never hear him sing like this again which is genuinely tragic. He was an accessible, uncelebrated great.
Dennis still rocks this song. I remember this song when i was a young teen,
Have u ever heard Sylvia's father? It's good too
I just heard it. Ruined the whole atmosphere
So freaking awesome..love Dr.Hook& The Medicine Show..happy late birthday Dennis. hgsnkss!!!
Holy crap! Known this song forever, but this rendition is so heartfelt that it's amazing. And somehow Nicki Minaj et al. have a job.
love this man...such talent...what did you say...Awesome is the word...

This is the best version of this song vocally! I miss the steal guitar that is in the recorded version. But this one vocally is the best by far. You can see he is feeling the music!!!!
Besides the C>64 intro, this is one of the saddest love songs ever written... I LOVE IT!
Goosebumps
No doubt this version highlights Dennis's wonderful voice, but I prefer the 72 live version. The harmonies are an integral part of this classic. I miss Ray here. When he joins in I feel chills running through me.

raw talent... Awesome!
Just the great est can't stop listening
14 dislikes wow! heartless bastards! Dr. Hook so classic I miss them terribly and these days of soul.
I don't know any thing about music , but this song works in a perfect time frame the whole narrative fits in squarely flanked by the correct amount of despair and longing.

Amo Dennis Locorriere ontem, hoje e sempre!
I was only about 6 years old when I first heard this in the 70S, I literally fell in love with Sylvia and I still love her/search for her today.
jedna z lepszych pościelówek w czasie mojej młodości (mam 57 lat)
True & Loyal!!!!

This song was written by author Shel Silverstein, and is a true story, based on his own past "Sylvia" was Silvia, and the last name is made up.
How did you know that ?. Sylvia lived in Virgina Beach Virginia
Going to see him in October in Llandudno :)
sut oedd y cyngerdd?
