#kix #80smusic #classicrock BOB HALLIGAN JR | Artists On Record Bob Halligan JR musician, music producer and songwriter collaborated KIX, KISS, CHER & JUDAS PRIEST. Beginning in the mid-1980s, when he co-wrote most of the songs on the band's third album, Midnite Dynamite. Incidentally, one of the most successful songs he has ever written is Kix's near-top ten hits, "Don't Close Your Eyes" (co-written with one-time Crack the Sky frontman John Palumbo and Kix bassist Donnie Purnell), which was featured on the band's follow-up album, Blow My Fuse.
