Rock 'n' Roll Doctor is a song from heavy metal group Black Sabbath from the album Technical Ecstasy. The song runs for three minutes and thirty seconds. The title is taken from the chorus which states
"I gotta see my rock 'n' roll doctor."
The song was first played during the instrumental workout on the 1975 tour (in support of Sabotage), although without vocals, so it may reasonably be assumed to have developed from a jam.
The vocal version featured on the Technical Ecstasy tour 1976-77 and was retained for the Never Say Die! tour. It was then dropped but made a short-lived return to the live set on the Born Again tour.
It is featured on their album, Greatest Hits 1970-1978.
