RIP Roy Clark. Amazing musician. Funny as heck on Hee Haw.

We weren't huge country fans, but he had skills.

What young ''uns may not realize is that we oldies only had two tv channels when we were growing up, so we watched anything...

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show had a number of top pop hits in the 1970's. Sawyer was lead singer on "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" that went to #6 on the U.S. Pop Chart in 1972. That hit followed "Sylvia's Mother" that topped at #5 earlier that year. In the next eight years, the group would have four more top ten hits: “Only Sixteen (1975),” "Sharing the Night Together (1978), “When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman (1978),” and "Sexy Eyes (1980)."

I am so very sad to hear this!! I never read the news on him. I went to see Dr. Hook live at Massey hall a million years ago!! Loved all of their stuff, especially Sylvia's Mother and Freaking at the Freakers ball and Queen of the Silver Dollar.
Eighty one years old! R.I.P. Ray Sawyer
