I knew Bobby Hunt and worked with him for about 2-3 years back around 2010-2013, and saw some of his gigs as well.
Anyway, he told me he knew Lee Michaels back in Merced when they were young.


Here is a cut and paste with Lee talking about Bobby.

Bobby he met Welch while they both played in a local Los Angeles band, the Seven Souls .

Bob Welch and Bobby Hunt were members of The Seven Souls, an Los Angeles-based soul band formed in 1964, alongside Henry Moore. After The Seven Souls disbanded in 1969, Welch, Hunt, and Moore formed a new trio called Head West. Welch later achieved fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac before pursuing a solo career.

Bobby told me he played on the last Mac live tour, if I recall correctly. I believe it was in Europe, and when Welch split, Bobby went with him, and toured with him, and was on 1 or 2 of Welch's solo albums. I believe Bobby Hunt is still alive.

This is some cool info. His brief residence with FM was solely in the US, I believe. Heroes was never toured in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. There would have been little-to-no market for it. And I’m fairly certain Davis’ injunction against them would have prohibited their touring in the UK until a settlement was reached.
