Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on CZcams, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on CZcams. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on CZcams, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

Nope, her Mom doesn't want Sylvia to hear who's on the line so pretends it was someone else.
The mother said “please call again” as if she were talking to someone other than the author of the song. It was a polite way to end phone conversations back in the day. She didn’t want to tip off Sylvia as to the true nature of the call.
Dr. Hook & Medicine Show - Such a good name, their songs have the best hooks!
For next Dr. Hook song I suggest live performance of Cover of the Rolling Stone
"Sharing The Night Together" was another of their hits.
Wow what a fun flash from the past. Thy also did "Cover of the Rolling Stone", which was a bigger hit, but this was everywhere at one time. Let's go see how you like it...
May Sylvia, your mother rest in peace. Beautiful name, as is Avery, actually. Shel Silverstein wrote "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and many other great children book classics. Not sure if it is the same Shel. They're big rock singers, they got golden fingers, and they're loved everywhere they go. "Cover of the Rolling Stone" is worth your time and show. Huge hit.
It is the same Shel Silverstein. I went to Wikipedia to find out when he mentioned his name. I was very surprised.
Yeah pretty sure this is one and the same Shel who was the children's book author.
I bought my kids Shel's book The Giving Tree, fabulous collection of children's poetry and short stories
Same Shel, he wrote most of Dr Hook's songs (along with Boy Named Sue and many other hits).
Oh, yeah - same Shel Silverstein who also wrote and recorded SARAH CYNTHIA SYLVIA STOUT (the girl who would not take the garbage out), numerous children's books, as well as some notable 'naughties' for Playboy magazine, plays, and cetera...
Great rock band from the 70's-80's. They had lots of hit songs such as "The Cover Of Rolling Stone", "Only Sixteen", "A Little Bit More", "Sharing The Night Together", "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman", "Better Love Next Time", "Sexy Eyes" etc.
I love Dr. Hook BUT be careful with that rabbit hole. LOL!
If you can't relate to the heartbreak of this situation you haven't really lived life.
With Dr Hook you can get anything....and I mean ANYTHING
I was very little when this song came out, but I would just cry when it came on the radio. I always assumed the song ends with Sylvia never knowing her ex-boyfriend called, and she catches her scheduled train. The mother tells the caller, “Please call back again,” but she doesn’t mean it. She never told Sylvia that he called.
The band is formed in New Jersey, but they do have some Southern roots. Ray Sawyer (man with eye patch) is from Alabama.
Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show, one of the best band names ever, and a real throwback to the 1970's, and the days, daze, of my youth. Their biggest hit was "Cover Of The Rolling Stone", but "Sylvia's Mother" was very big at the time as well.
One of the best harmonizing bands. I love their songs that never got radio play. Funny story my oldest sister got a postcard from one of the band members and also, with permission from my mom, she and her friends went driving around with some of the band members to show them our city.
Love love love!
"Thank you for calling & sir won't you call back again" meaning the mother didn't want her daughter to know it was him on the phone so played it off.
Check out Carry Me Carrie
I love Dr. Hook! Carrie Me, Carrie, If I'd Only Come and Gone, Freaking at the Freaker's Ball, Turn on the World, I Can't Touch the Sun, Queen of the Silver Dollar, these guys had a ton of hits. Sloppy Seconds is my favorite of their albums, every song is amazing! I even saw them in concert! There is an interview somewhere with the actual Sylvia's actual mother. She was Shel Silverstein's (who wrote the song) girlfriend.
Cover of the Rolling Stone is a great song! And funny!
One vote for “A Little Bit More “ by Dr Hook. Their ballads are killer.
From what I think I recall...this was written by Shel Silverstein and is at least partially based on truth.
There is a interview with Mrs
Avery and Sylvia about this story
Yes, on the Top 2000 a gogo channel on youtube, from the Dutch television, I remember watching that.
Yes👍 there is.
Also check them out on Shel's boat 😄👍🇬🇧
RIP RAY
Dr. Hook is awesome kicking back music.
When you're in love with a Beautiful Woman, Cover of the Rolling Stones are a couple more good ones, great reaction,
Dr. Hook is a rabbit hole that’s worth going down.
Nobody with a right soul would not go in tears with this song. And yes, it's the mother who prevents the love and Sylvia would hav gone back to her love
This was such a tear-jerker, and based on a true story that happened to Shel Silverstein, the songwriter. NO! Mrs. Avery is covering up who's on the line by sayin' "thank you for calling, and sir won't you call back again..." He substituted 'Galveston' in place of Mexico, and since she settled in Mexico City, it's clear Shel's heartache was not assuaged. Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show could handle about any genre, even Disco, and they changed to just "Dr. Hook". Try WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN and SEXY EYES by Dr. Hook. Yes, they did ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE, which actually got 3 of them caricatured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, which is a fun little song, too.
Silvia’s mother , heard the song on the radio & recognized the conversation & gave an interview that you can check out on CZcams
I love dr hook , but I have a hard time listening to Sylvia's mother because it makes me so sad....
please please please please please react to their song"cover of the rolling stone"...... it's hilarious it's fun it's the best marketing tactic I've ever seen LOL
❤❤❤ One of my favorite Dr. Hook songs. "Other good songs are "Cover Of The Rolling Stone", "A Little Bit More", "Sharing The Night Together", "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" and "Sexy Eyes". They can be very 'crazy' during concerts.
Cover of the Rolling Stone is a blast
"Freakin at the Freakers Ball" is a fun Dr. Hook song and is definitely worth a listen
These guys were great musicians.
Do "Carry on, Carrie" "The Wonderful Soupstone, "Queen of the Silver Dollar" before you dive into their more trippy stuff.
Fascinating back story. This song is based on a true story of famous author Shel Silverstein’s life.
Long distance phone calls used to be 40cents more for the next three minutes
Shawn , Definitely go down this rabbit hole !
I really liked these guys, because they were just a little different than your run of the mill Rock Band. Their songs were deeper than most, and really well thought out and relatable. They had a few more songs that were in the top 100 chart during the 70s.
Thanks Shawn
I was 13 and my first day in California I heard the song.
This is a classic Dr. Hook track ,one of my favorites.
They only got recognized with a track called " Cover of the Rolling Stone"
Thank you for reacting to this! I've always loved this song! (But I don't like the mom.) 😏
What a great and heart-wrenching song. Man one of my favorites they ever did and it was a massive hit when I was a little kid is, Cover of the Rolling Stone. I loved whenever it came on the radio and I ended up buying the single and played it over and over. It's so fun.
I never realized how sad and tragic this song was. We all loved it decades ago when it first came out. Thanks for your reaction.
For lots of fun listen to, "Cover of the Rolling Stone"😅
Schell Silverstien wrote, "Where the Sidewalk Ends", great children's poetry.
"Don't Give a Dose to the One You Love the Most" used on a PBS special in the 70s!
Back when you got limited time on a public pay phone, and the operator (or recorded voice) would occasionally ask for you to deposit more money to keep talking.
This one always brings tears 😢 The poor guy wants to see her & talk to her so bad & Sylvia’s Mother is trying so hard to keep her daughter away from him!
I hope he got to talk to Sylvia again 💔❤️🩹
May your dear Mom Sylvia RIP, she has an amazing son 💕
I used to sing this for my kids while driving them to the sitter and school, etc. This is a great song!
A song about a forbidden love, and 2 broken hearts. He wanted to talk to her and her mother didn't want him to because "Silvie would start cryin' and stay". Busybody mom didn't want them together and was sending her off somewhere else to separate them.
I'm guessin most people now have no idea when the operator says forty cents more for the next 3 minutes was common back then.
Some good old 70's country -rock - folk - truck driving - story tellin' stuff right there.
Thank’s for playing a fav of mine by Dr.Hook ❣️👏
One of my favorites of the 70's.....
So many great songs.....Come on,Carrie...Queen of the Sikver dollar... Cover of the Rollling Stone
I loved these guys. I saw them in person back in the 70's, they were great and my favorite group at that time. They had many more hits. Try "Cover of the Rolling Stone".
RIP, Ray.
This was back when songs made you feel things.
Try "Telephone Line " by Electric Light Orchestra . Similar vibe .
Sylvia leaves for her new life. As she is leaving her mom thanks the person on the phone and invites them to call back again, but that is just to keep Sylvia from knowing its her old boyfriend on the phone.
Dr. Hook has a lot of good music. "Cover of The Rolling Stone", "Sharing the night together", and "Sexy Eyes" are a few of the popular ones.
For whatever reason, Mrs. Avery just doesn't want her daughter to talk to him. Maybe he broke her heart and the mother doesn't want her to suffer any more OR he's obsessed with her and her daughter doesn't want to be bothered any longer. Take your pick.
Super popular song in the music box at our pool hall.
Another great song of theirs is “She Was Only Sixteen”. The first date with my wife of 32 years, 3 kids, and 35 years total together was on her 16th Birthday. Sadly, she decided that was enough. ☹️
Sylvia and her Mother were "Real" people. Sylvia was the girl friend of Shel Silverstein who wrote a lot of Dr Hooks songs. 👍🇬🇧
Cover Of The Rollin' Stone is humorous. Good song too.
Dr Hook and his eye patch
Check out their "Ballad of Lucy Jordon" Shel Silverstein wrote it. 👍🇬🇧
Oh, "I got stoned and I missed it" 👍
Cover of the Rolling Stone is also a great tune.
Try: Cover of the Rolling Stone, Cooky and Lila, Gertrude the Groupie, Carry Me Carrie! So many good ones!
Years From Now ❤❤❤❤❤
It's a real weepy, written almost to send up tear jerkers. Ray Sawyer is the guy with the eye patch, he died a couple of years back. Dennis Locoriere (?) Is the bearded guy singing. These two did most of the vocals on their hits. Other hits include A little bit more, and when you're in love with a beautiful woman. None of their other stuff has the emotional angst of this one though.
It's fairly obvious that the relationship is dead in the water and nothing is going to come of it. Mrs. Avery prevents any conciliation.
The real Sylvia was tracked down not long ago and confirmed the story. Her marriage to the guy she was heading off to, eventually ended in divorce and she returned to New Jersey. So many might have beens.
Great song, reminds me of teenage broken hearts about the time it was out.
Oh Memories ! Check Out On The Cover Of The Rolling Stone
Absolutely.love Dr Hook, every song is great. Have you heard of SUGARLOAF, check out the song Tongue in Cheek.1970 the long version is killer.
❤❤❤
Dr hook was great I miss the bands and music I had when I was young the music and bands are gone now it’s just a 1 man show with the studio type band. Cover of the rolling stone. Is a good dr hook song
You should check out “Cover of the Rolling Stone” and “I Got Stoned and I Missed It” from Dr. Hook.
My favorite of theirs is A Little Bit More.
Yea man, this band is really cool, they have more songs that you would really enjoy listening to, peace bro.
You'll get the obligatory recommendations to go check out "Cover of the Rolling Stone" (and yes it is hilarious and good fun) but if you like the emotional impact of this one, the tracks you want to check out are "Carry me Carrie" and "Last Morning".
Love it, love it, this is a great song
This was better than I remembered love you
Love this song! 🤠
React to Dr Hook play cover of the Rolling Stone( magazine) and those days when you were on the cover of the Rolling Stone you had made it! Huge hit
Reminds me of my first girl friend Sylvia
Awesome reaction hon! Thanks 🌻👵🏼✌🏼💜
Not sure if you’ve checked out their song -Sexy Eyes.
If you are in the mood for a funny and very entertaining song from them, check out a song called "Yodel".It wasn't one of their biggest hits, but I promise you have never seen anything quite like it.
Great reaction❣️
There is more but the one song you have to listen to from Dr. Hook is cover of the Rolling Stone
Great song and reaction
Sharing the night together. When your in love with a beautiful woman two more great ones to listen too.
Here is Sylvia's mother explaining the song: czcams.com/video/qZMUx2CfpXI/video.html
No he would not be able to get in touch again. It was not the mother he wanted to talk to. She physically blocked him. Pretending it was not an important call. Sylvia would not be there when he tried again, if he did. She would be far away, where he had no number to ring her on. This was long before the internet, he had no way to track her without a private eye,
Hey Shawn. Great reaction, thanks! You have to do the live version of "Cover of the Rolling Stone". You will thank me, I promise!
He wasn't good enough for her daughter
By all means, check out Cover Of The Rolling Stone! You'll enjoy it!
Dude you should be breaking out love you
The last morning
New Orleans
Check out Bon Jovi s unplugged video of this song! Amazing 😮
To me it sounds like Sylvia’s mother told her stalker exactly where and when to find her. 🤦♀
Of course, we didn’t think that way back when this was popular. I did watch a CZcams video showing an old interview with Sylvia’s mother, telling her side of the story. If I remember correctly she did have a conversation with him later. She seemed like a kind woman who cared about him but knew he wasn’t right for her daughter. There’s also an interview with Sylvia herself on CZcams.
He's not a stalker.
And Sylvia's mother didn't think he was.
hahahaha you still dont know......try Roland the Roadie and Gertrude the Groupie !!

Here you can hear the other side, an interview with Sylvia's mother and Sylvia herself.
Oh and thanks to Jimwilcox for reminding me about this clip.
