Dr. Hook Singer Dennis Locorriere Dies at 76

RIP Dennis. They had a great soft rock sound in the '70s (much like Seals & Crofts), and some of their songs fit into Yacht Rock. "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" and "Sharing the Night Together" are underrated songs. :cry: :cry:

Dr. Hook (originally Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show) was known for several soft rock tunes in the 70s. They started out as a novelty act, with "Cover of the Rolling Stone" being one of their best-known novelty song.

He's now reunited with former bandmate Ray Sawyer (who died in 2018 at the age of 81). RIP!
 
I always considered Dr. Hook a velvet phenomena. They sold millions of records, had several Top 10 hits, always on the radio in the mid-late 1970s and almost nobody knew who they were. Or where they're from. They just happened.

Kind of like Player.

Never heard the expression "velvet phenomena" before, and Google doesn't give me much to go on. But somehow, I know what it means -- even though the singular form of "phenomena" is properly "phenomenon."

A velvet phenomenon is something huge that occurs unannounced and/or so subtly, you don't even know what happened. All you know is it's everywhere now.
