Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show was an American pop, country and soft rock band, formed around Union City, New Jersey in 1969. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of the Rolling Stone", "A Little Bit More" and "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman". In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein.
Often later billed simply as Dr. Hook, they had eight years of regular chart hits, in both the U.S. and the UK, and greatest success with their later gentler material. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
