I'm major bummed out! :( French Kiss was awesome. "Ebony Eyes" and "Sentimental Lady" are two songs with very nastaligic meaning to me!

Can anyone confirm that Welch hosted a music video show back in the late '70s/early '80s. I swear that I remember this, and it may have been called City Lights or City Nights, or something like that? IIRC, there was a lot of New Wave sorta' music on the show, which now seems kind of odd knowing that he was part of the early Fleetwood Mac (doesn't really fit, ya' know?).

Or am I just totally off my rocker?

HOLLYWOOD HEARTBEAT

Welch followed up French Kiss with 1979's Three Hearts, an album that replicated the rock/disco fusion of French Kiss. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on 2/23/1979, and spawned the top 20 hit "Precious Love", while the follow-up single "Church" also charted. He also hosted a music video program, Hollywood Heartbeat.[20]

Glad to know that I haven't totally lost my mind. Thank you, John. :jam:

Good math John. I was thinking "Blue Jean Network". I even tried 'Bob Welch hosts' but could get anything. The aforementioned "Church" is a great song also, and "Ebony Eyes" will forever haunt me of my x-periment in terror with my beloved "Madd Mary!" :mrgreen: I believe all the songs on that album are in the above link. 8) Good painting music........
