RIP, Stevie Nicks got more attention, but Mcvie was the more talented of the 2.

Christine McVie was part of one of one of the greatest bands. RIP.

She was part of one of the best bands in music history. Her voice was a nice complement to Stevie Nicks. She wrote and had lead vocals on many of the bands greatest songs including 'Over My Head', 'Say You Love Me', ''Don't Stop', You Make Loving Fun', 'Little Lies', 'Everywhere' and 'Hold Me' (co-lead). Played the keyboards as well. Super talented vocalist and musician. RIP

She was probably the best songwriter in Mac. Her ex-husband John McVie is actually younger than her. Imho this is the best song from Tango in the Night, Lindsey Buckingham lwft the band after that album - huge mistake.

Rumours took the world by storm.

RIP.

Canadian singer Shirley Eikhard recorded Say You Love Me before Fleetwood Mac, however, it did not become the hit that is was with F M as her version was not near as good. Now to search for my Rumours album in my collection.

No doubt. One of the greatest albums in the history of music. I need the vinyl.

 

[Carvher]

I still listen to Rumours somewhat regularly. Grew up with numerous songs of that album playing on jukeboxes while hanging out at bowling alleys and pinball joints.

Never knew she was such a great contributor. Always thought she was just a rocker wife, like Linda McCartney.

Don't be sad, we still have Justin Biber. Cthulhu for the Nobel Prize.

Isn't she part of an old rock group were everyone was fucking everyone which ended up creating classic music but ruining their relationships with one another?
