THE EMOTION!| FIRST TIME HEARING Captain Hook & The Medicine Show - Sylvia's Mother REACTION

Look. I subscribe. I listen. I enjoy. But please....PLEASE...Rob...stop comparing one persons voice to another. They all have their unique voices. You guys are great (especially with The Black Crowes). Late.

Dang those those pay phones I remember them

You guys should listen to steelheart shes gone what a voice he has amazing

The song is based on a true story

I talked to many a Sylvias mother back in the day lol

Love all you're Videos,but this one research more please, I'm being polite

Dr. Hook is proof that magic happens!

Beautiful song from my teen life. So much good music in the 70s ....

I figured you all got this one.
You're everywhere with the good music.

This really happened to him There is a documentary about the Mom and daughter ❣️🎶✌️

There is a bit of nostalgia there that a wonder if people today understand. Back in 1972, there were no cell phones. You went to a phone booth(if anyone remembers them)and put coins in to talk for a specific time. Credit cards existed, but few had them so no slots for them.

Singer is Dennis Locorrierre.

Everyone will feel this pain in their life if you live long enough.💔

If only the younger generation knew about payphones

Not sure if you have covered it yet, but Dr. Hook's Carry me Carrie is freakin' awesome!

Lyrics by the great Shel Silverstein, author of books for children of all ages such as A Light in the Attic, and Where the Sidewalk Ends

Thank you. Nice reaction.

That voice ❤

U have to listen to I'm a million air.funny as can be dr hook killer song.

WOW

I absolutely love Dennis Locorriere's voice. Other faves of theirs for me are More Like the Movies, I Don't Want To Be Alone Tonight, A Little Bit More. They were sooooooooooo good.

Better Love Next Time...great song....was my theme song after my divorce....

Love that you smiled at the beautiful harmonies. I was and still am a huge Dr Hook fan. Thanks for reviewing this these guys are cool

The new generation will never understand dropping dimes and quarters in the corner phonebooth just to talk to your girl!!!

This song originated with a true story. Also... Just curious... What percentage of your viewers do you think knows what he means when he says, "and the operator says 40 cents more, for the next three minutes..."?

This was their first hit, released two times, the second time it became a hit, the lead singer is Dennis Locorriere, the background singer with the eye-patch was Ray he was often mistaken for being the lead singer. Back in the day there was no internet or social media and band's toured a lot, Dennis told 300 day's per year, and they visited radio stations to promote, Dennis told that when the band arrived they treated him like he was the cateraar and they asked Ray to sing, they both felt awkward, when they left Dennis was treated as a star 😂 But they were friends they had so much fun. Nobody could sing this song with so much emotion and putting their heart in it like they did. By the way they didn't write this song, it was written by Shel Silverstein who was in love with the real Sylvia. There is actually a video on you tube telling her mother about the phone calls.

When you're young you feel for the guy, once you've had kids, you feel for the mom
❤

You might try "Black Oak, Arkansas " Lord have Mercy on my Soul;

It's not Captain Hook, it's Dr Hook! If you're gonna comment, GET IT RIGHT!

Haven't heard this song for probably 20-30 years... same result - teared up again.

Always has been a classic.
Saw them at the Daytona Beach Band Shell back maybe mid 70's... lol

I would like to see Amber's reaction to Dr Hook's "If not You" I can just picture your face at the lyrics. 😂😂😂😂

Do you understand the old Phone System? You must put money inside. And after a short time talks the Operator from the company - time is over, get more money inside. Or he cuts the line.

"Sylvia's Mother" is autobiographical, with songwriter Shel Silverstein drawing upon his unsuccessful attempt to revive a failed relationship. Silverstein had been in love with a woman named Sylvia Pandolfi. She later became engaged to another man and ended up as a museum curator at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil in Mexico City. Desperate to continue the relationship, Silverstein called Pandolfi's mother, Louisa, but she told him the love had ended

One of my favourite Dr Hook songs. Heartbreaking and beautiful. Such a fabulous band ❤

Yeah, Sylvia's mother was giving the guy way too much information. The umbrella gave it away...

My gosh reminds me of a girlfriend from Virginia that I never to this day foind out whst happened to her❤❤. Her name was Sylvia ❤❤

Im only seeing this now. I haven't heard this for many decades. I remehearing it in the car with my dad and I told him I was going to "punch out" Sylvias mother!

Someone said about the lead singer. you can hear the tears in his voice

Sylvia should have him up on a metoo

Every follower of Dr. Hook can sing every word of every song!!

For those that are too young....40 cents more was what it cost if you were calling from a pay phone.

Such a beautiful song ❤❤

How can they not be in the rock and roll hall of fame . Let’s start bitching people. I’m leaving a message to the rrhof tonight

So this guy can barely work up the courage to call Ms. Avery, to tell her daughter how he feels about her meanwhile, ...across town, a lead singer for Smokie has been pining for his neighbor, Alice. For 24 freakin' years. Maybe the two lead singers need to go to a bar and drink several rounds of beer. Couldn't hurt????

Real story

Great video of a magic song by Dr.Hook…Check out “your blue room”,by passengers..Very different tune..All the best🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Toca Raul

This song makes me me think of relationships in the era of the Vietnam war when a man went to war and the woman didn't wait for him to come home. The man just needed closure. Yes, it's a sad song but hits home with many people of that time.

Song based on a true story.. look it up
