Welch, a native of Los Angeles, scored his biggest hit with “Sentimental
Lady,” which reached No. 8 on the Billboard chart. His other singles
included “Precious Love” in 1979 and “Hot Love, Cold World”
in 1978.
When Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998,
Welch was not included in the group.
“It basically comes down to the fact that they don’t like me anymore,”
he told The Plain Dealer of Cleveland at the time. “I guess they can do
what they want. I could understand it if I had been a sideman for a year.
But I was an integral part of that band … I put more of myself into that
band than anything else I’ve ever done.”
Longtime Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks told The Associated Press that
Welch’s death hit her hard.
“The death of Bob Welch is devastating … I had many great times with
him after Lindsey and I joined Fleetwood Mac. He was an amazing guitar
player – he was funny, sweet – and he was smart. I am so very sorry for his
family and for the family of Fleetwood Mac – so, so sad …”
Probably Fleetwood Mac’s most successful album Rumours, featuring
vocalist Stevie Nicks (right), was released in 1977
Founding member Mick Fleetwood did not immediately respond to e-mails for
comment Thursday.
Fleetwood Mac, started in 1967 by two former members of John Mayall’s
Bluesbreakers, became an enormously popular pop-oriented group in the late
1970s. Nicks’ haunting vocals and Buckingham’s distinctive guitar work
helped propel the band’s 1976 album “Rumours” to multiplatinum
status.
Problems with alcohol and drugs, as well as well-publicized fights between
band members, led to their breakup. Money and nostalgia helped bring the
band back together, leading to successful reunion tours.
Bob Welch’s 1977 album French Kiss
As a songwriter, Welch had his songs recorded by Kenny Rogers, Sammy Hagar,
the Pointer Sisters and others.
In 1999 he released a CD, “Bob Welch Looks at Bop,” a salute to
bebop music in the 1940s.
In an interview with The Tennessean in 2003, Welch said he never dreamed he’d
be remembered for much.
“I just wanted to play guitar in a good band,” he said. “I
wanted to make the music I love. I wanted to travel the world and have
adventures.”
Welch also said “music is disposable now. It doesn’t have the emotional
impact anymore. That’s sad.”
He had lived in Nashville since the 1990s.
Bart Herbison, executive director of the Nashville Songwriters Association,
quoted his wife Wendy as saying Welch had spinal surgery three months ago
and doctors told him he would not get better, and he did not want her to
have to care for an invalid.
The couple had no children. Funeral arrangements were incomplete.
