As news of the death of former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer Bob Welch spread Thursday afternoon, fans began digging into the musical archives as they paid their respects to the 66-year-old and his music.
He might not be as synonymous with Fleetwood Mac as Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham, but Welch's early contributions helped paved the way for the sound the band is celebrated for today.

The L.A. native achieved success with a solo career in the late '70s that spawned a slew of hits including "Hot Love, Cold World," "Ebony Eyes," "Precious Love" and "Sentimental Lady' -- a track originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac but later redone by Welch.
He also formed two other short-lived outfits: a hard rock trio, Paris, that released two albums before dissolving, and Avenue M, which backed him on tour and never released an album.
To give the fans a boost, Pop & Hiss has dug through his contributions to music for few selections. Listen after the jump:
