Tommy Bolin

December fourth was the 29th anniversary of the death of Tommy Bolin, probably one of the most unsung musicians of our time. Even a glimpse of his musical past plunges deep into rock and roll history. James Gang and Deep Purple are probably the most recognizable band names the average reader (or listener) would relate to.

Look at the list of musicians on Teaser, Phil Collins, Jan Hammer, David Sanborn, Glenn Hughes (his soon-to-be-bandmate in Deep Purple), and Jeff Porcaro.
