I read this news with great sadness. Bob created some great songs. I always felt the band missed the boat with him. Hypnotized is one of the greatest songs - up on the level of Baker Street in terms of defining the 70's for me. I always felt there was a great unrealized potential with him. I wish he had stayed on with the group. He had a vibe with the band that rivaled Lindsey and Stevie's. His work afterwards seemed to have been missing the undefinable quality that John, Mick, and Christine could add to it. Nonetheless, his music was magical, and I am glad I was able to enjoy it. He left a mark.
And there is simply nothing like that work he did with them.
