I am late (sorry) in expressing my condolences to the family, friends and fans of the legendary Bob Welch. Back on June 7th, 2012, Bob Welch committed suicide. That is so extremely sad. Bob Welch was 66 years old. A former member of the also legendary Fleetwood Mac, Bob Welch also had a solo career that didn’t go unnoticed. My favorite album from Bob Welch is his solo debut album from 1977: French Kiss.

One of my most favorite Classic Rock songs from the entire 70’s decade is Ebony Eyes; a song which is featured on French Kiss. Even though Bob Welch wasn’t part of the chart-topping and Grammy winning years of Fleetwood Mac, he was/will always be an important figure in their musical formation and overall band history. Back on August 17th, 2009, I revisited French Kiss and blabbed away about it. Click the link below to read it, if you like:
