Sad to hear this as I was aware of Fleetwood Mac since 1972 or so when the Mystery to Me album was first released. Always loved "Hypnotized" and "Sentimental Lady" which was off of 1972's Bare Trees..... and became a solo hit for Welch in 1977 (re-recorded). I think his time with Fleetwood Mac definitely put the band into the realm of AOR radio back in the day before they hit the big time (with membership changes Nicks/Buckingham) in 1975.
