  • Song starts at 1:17. Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, shortened from 1975 onwards to Dr. Hook, were an American rock band, formed in New Jersey. Their biggest hits were "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), and "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979). The founding core of the band consisted of George Cummings, Ray Sawyer, and Billy Francis. Sawyer lost his right eye in a 1967 automobile accident.
    Spotlight was a music show for the youth, which was aired between 1968 and 1978 by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF). It was the counterpart to the shows "Beat Club" or "Musikladen" in Germany.

    I first heard these guys over 50 years ago on a juke box in Austria, where I visited every summer, growing up. My mother was Austrian. I still get goose bumps when ever I hear the opening riff to Sylvie's Mother. Wow fantastic !

      Some of the best music? The best music! And yes I have that same feeling I could have written what you wrote about time time going by. I guess we have to just be happy that we had it to begin with. And I know you said they are no do-overs. And in my Christian there are not. But there's a lot of Hindus and others who say that reincarnation is what happens and then there are endless do overs.. so I guess we can hope. Besides maybe somebody will do that Einstein time travel thing
      How good was the music then? Well there are still bands out there who are filling stadiums based on that Euro era including Bruce Springsteen and of course the rolling Stones and many others that many of us saw when they were in their twenties
      Speaking of The rolling Stones I remember the song time is on my

    Was a mid-teenage kid, living and working on a ranch and my best friend (my parents were his guardian) and I would literally be stoned every day and jam on Dr. hook…had to be stoned to move sprinkler pipe, pick rock, drive Steiger tractors, plowing, disc’ing, harrowing, planting, harvesting…being “stoned” was a much needed coping mechanism. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I like it cuz it's even got George Cummings IT'S THE ORIGINAL! godspeed Ray'eyepatch'Sawyer I was hoping u would make it to see the band to this year but - "if there's a rock n Roll Heaven, u know they got a helluva band!
