In Memoriam

Bobby Foster

May 28, 1957 - November 17, 2013

With over thirty years of experience, Bobby Foster was one of TOC's seasoned veterans. His musical influences included Tower of Power, George Duke, and Harvey Mason. Bobby's heart-felt back beats and high energy style made him a sought after drummer on the circuit and a welcome addition to the Touch of Class family.

On November 17, 2013 at 3 pm our long time drummer and friend lost his battle against brain cancer. Bobby will always be remembered and will forever play with TOC if only in spirit.

Jerry Benjamin

April 12, 1955 - September 19, 2020

Jerry Benjamin brought over 30 years of experience to TOC. He was a phenomenal guitarist and a recorded songwriter. Jerry shared his talent as an instructor, producing students who have scored number one hits, platinum albums, and AMA awards. Jerry's soulful, jazzy guitar was a tremendous asset to The Touch Of Class Band.

Jerry passed away on September 19th, 2020 as a result of a heart attack. He was our friend and our brother. Such a pleasure to perform with him. Now he's performing up there with our drummer Bobby Foster again... Godspeed my friend.
