Happy 73rd Birthday to Dennis Locorriere. Who is Dennis Locorriere? He’s the lead singer of Dr. Hook, a band that has today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, “Better Love Next Time”, a song that reached #12 on the charts in the Fall of 1979.

Throughout the years, maybe people thought that Ray Sawyer (the guy with the eye-patch) was the lead singer, but in fact it was Dennis. He said when they first walked into radio stations, everyone would run to talk to Ray, but then on the air, Dennis would start singing, and then everyone would figure it out!

Happy Birthday Dennis! Take a trip back to the late 70’s for Dr. Hook on today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45.
