im really sorry, im a huge fan of silverstein`s songwriting..but thank god he didnt sing to much, but i still love him for the writing and contribution he made to music
@mmcestate oh, he sang tons! he has many albums that I enjoy greatly and would rather hear him sing his own songs than anyone else. He's so unapologetic with his joy and laughter and enthusiasm - knowing he had a "lousy" voice, but nothing could stop him! (But, It's okay that most don't dig his voice. As I always say; "Not everybody likes The Beatles, not everybody likes Beethoven, not everybody likes you or me".)
@RevSpike I know he's not fit for opera, but I really LIKE his singing and reciting - I agree with you some songs simply don't sound right, if he's not singing them. Who CAN recite "a peanutbutter sandwich" if not he... (pun intended) I always wonder what it is he stuffs in his mouth to sound like the trapped king... maybe it is a PB-sandwich :)
It IS Dustin Hoffman - this is the opening scene of his movie. It is called "Who is _____ and Why is everybody talking about him?" - and I cant remember the name. rented it on VHS years ago. been looking for this scene to get online to see Shel sing again.
WOW! This was great! So wonderful to see Shel - a genius with just the right combination of warped insanity. I love his children's books too. He is sure missed! And to see a young Dustin was a treat as well. Thank you!
Even though Shel Silverstein wrote the majority of Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show's early material, he VERY rarely performed with them. Doctor Hook was only a five piece band at this time (1971) and soon to become seven (1972).
This is Dr.Hook in the very beginning, before they had record deal with CBS. This is taking from the film "Who is Harry Kellerman" Starring a young Dustin Hoffman. Shel Silverstein wrote the music to the film.
Ray Sawyer on bass and without his hat and Shel on stage!!! Very rare.

Did Shel tell him, "17 hundred paid, 60 percent." Is that, the band gets 60 percent of the gross?

The title of this fim was "Who Is Harry Kellerman And Why Is He Saying Those Nasty Things About Me?"
It's about a songwriter who has a nervous breakdown.
