[2] According to band member Jeff Severson, the Doctors toured with Hall & Oates, Ritchie Blackmore, and Pat Travers, and opened for The Clash, The Cars, Cyndi Lauper, Steppenwolf, Jim Carroll, and others.
[2] 4 Out of 5 Doctors performed several of their songs ("Waiting for Roxanne", "Mr Cool Shoes", "Modern Man", "Waiting for a Change", and "Dawn Patrol") in the 1983 film The House on Sorority Row, and two songs ("Not from Her World" and "Baby Baby goes Bye Bye"[4]) in the 1980 film The Boogeyman.
Of course, there were attempts to turn the Doctors into a new wave band (just listen to the quirky spy-themed "Danger Man" for proof) but their keen sense of melody saved the day.
In fact, the Doctors were classic songwriters, putting as much into the verses, bridges, and middle eights as they did with their choruses.
~ Stephen Schnee, AllMusic Though their self-titled debut album met with little or no national success, the Doctors entered the studio to record their second album, this time with hitmaking producer Jeff Glixman, who had handled many commercial rock artists in recent years, including Kansas.
Using the first album's "I Want Her" as a jumping-off point, the Doctors rock hard on 2nd Opinion without losing any of their charm or melodicism.
