- On today's episode of the It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we sit down with DENNIS LOCORRIERE, the voice behind a laundry-list of Top 40 hits released by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show (later shortened to Dr. Hook) between 1971-1985, including “Sylvia's Mother”, “When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman”, “Sexy Eyes”, “Sharing The Night Together”, and the inimitable “The Cover Of Rolling Stone”.
He recounts the band's ability to shift from long-haired, free-spirited, wild live act, to a radio-friendly, soft-rock / disco-ish sound, and the continuing longevity of those gamut-ranging hits. We also cover working with iconic writer Shel Silverstein, Dennis' post Dr. Hook touring as a member of Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, his experience meeting a Beatle, and having one of his songs covered by Bob Dylan!

Dennis is still as down to earth and as funny as ever. Let's not forget he's as handsome as ever.
Damn handsome
That is so sad that he doesn't think that we don't love him in the United States. Oh my gosh! He is and Dr. Hook is who we are, my generation. It really hurts my heart and makes me sad that that someone who has had such a big influence in my youth and my adult years doesn't care. Regardless of what Dennis thinks & feels I will always love him and the music Dr. Hook made.
Dennis is one of the most underrated singers ever.
I'm absolutely in love with Dr Hook and to this day so often listen to their music. My children don't listen but my 8 & 10 year old grandsons do. They love it. We also watch the videos on you tube. If Dr. Hook doesn't deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nobody does.Dooly Parton in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Hook isn't. She is a great country singer & belongs in the Country Hall of Fame but she had one Rock Album and she gets in the Hall of Fame? Something is very wrong in the universe!
My fav band when I was in college in the late 70s! He has such a smooth sexy voice! Still listen to them all the time!
They are amazing! I had the honor of having my band open for Ray Sawyer back in 1990. THAT was a blast! Hope you enjoy the channel and please subscribe!!!
Would love to see him in person. Not coming to USA and definitely NOT Pittsburgh!
Totally smitten.
Couldnt agree more. I'd love to see him do some shows in New England. Thanks for listening and I hope you decide to subscribe to the podcast.
Saw him on 50th Anniversary Tour in Nov 2021 in the UK. Still got it after all these years. Delivered a brilliant show! Thank you for having him on.
70s music is incomparable!
Happy birthday a few days ago. I will turn 76 in July 2024 and somehow I have just discovered you and I am “hooked”. I love your videos and music Guess I was busy in the 70’s. My son was born in 1969 So glad I have found you finally. I guess I am working on memories and a “bucket list”. Would love to get to see you in person. Watching video interviews I feel like i know. Thanks so much for your music! I am from Alabama.
Love his voice and all the videos of Dr Hook on my tv. Too bad he isnt coming to Maryland.

Who was the lead singer of Nurse Hook?
He comes across a bit obsessed with himself and his own ego. Perhaps Ray left the band simply because he felt sidelined to mostly just shaking marakas, not because it was "too confusing".
You are so wrong about Dennis. For years, he wasn't acknowledged as the lead singer for Dr Hook. But he never made a big deal about it. Dennis helped Dr Hook get back on its feet after they claimed bankruptcy. He could have easily walked away, but he didn't. The band cleaned up their act, and Ray just wanted his own career. There were never any hard feelings between any of them. This is, after all, an interview of Dennis Locorriere, so obviously, he's going to talk about himself, duh. And he's still singing and entertaining to this day at the age of 72. He looks and sounds great.
