OK Bob Welch

Must be a different Bob Welch from Bizarro World. The real Bob Welch played a Les Paul through a Marshall -- not very folky -- and made one heavy metal record and one noise LP with his band Paris, after Fleetwood Mac.

On the distaff side, Judy Collins.

Bob Welch, not for folk, but just for the French Kiss LP .. I admit I know nothing about Bob Welch & thought he was cool in Fleetwood Mac.

Lobo should go in here, too.

Jimmy Webb so badly wanted to be in here as a performer.

So did Jim Weatherly (no need to hear "The Need to Be" again).

Holly Near, Essra Mohawk, the girl who sang backup for Elton John -- not Kiki Dee.

Seals and Crofts...

Seals and Crofts were not also-rans. They were headlining in amphitheatres and arenas in the early 70's. I lost a buddy to a Seals and Crofts arena show up against REO Speedwagon ca. "Ridin' the Storm Out" -- which was a very big deal in ballsy hard rock land. Why? Goyls. The girlfriend wanted to hear Seals & Crofts. Next day, while cleaning the bottom of the local swimming pool: "I wish I woulda seen REO, George."

May not be "folk-rock" butKenny Loggins an also ran?

Google:

His solo career has produced three platinum albums, "Celebrate Me Home," "Nightwatch" and "Keep the Fire." He's also won two Grammys: 1980 Song of the Year for "What a Fool Believes" and the 1981 award for Best Pop Vocal for "This Is It." He also picked up an Oscar nomination for "Footloose."

BTW, L&M on back together...and on tour. Oh lord help us.
