My interview with the voice of Dr. Hook, Dennis Locorriere

I was delighted to interview Dennis on my weekly radio show. Dennis, whose unmistakable voice as the lead singer of Dr. Hook propelled them into one of the best selling groups with 60 million albums in 42 countries. "Timeless" a compilation album of Dr. Hook's hits is currently top ten in the album charts here in the UK. Dennis was a charming and interesting guest and I hope you enjoy hearing about the real Sylvia and more!
