21 Musical Acts from the ’70s That Defined the Love-Hate Relationship

Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show formed in Union City, New Jersey, in 1968 and first gained attention with “Sylvia’s Mother,” written by Shel Silverstein. The group later expanded its sound with hits like “The Cover of the Rolling Stone,” “Sharing the Night Together,” and “When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman.” Their sense of humor often became the headline, leading some reviewers to treat them like a novelty act.
