    Christine, in a way, was overshadowed by Stevie Nicks. Stevie, who was a bit more flashy, appealed to many fans... I prefer Christine's smooth, warm voice.

    It’s not hyperbole to say that Christine McVie always makes a song better. Whether she’s the featured singer bringing her breathtaking melodies, or supporting with her lovely background vocals, she was a treasure that we all got to enjoy. I love, love,love her songs and it’s a joy to watch you experience her talents.

    Christine McVie was one of the main songwriters for Fleetwood Mac and usually performed behind the scene. In a BBC Desert Island Discs interview she told a story of how she "wrote" Songbird. She couldn’t sleep, and an unknown song was in her head. “I had to play this song. It was as if I’d been channeled or something!” It came to her at 3 in the morning. “The whole song, complete, chords, words, everything within half an hour,” she explained. Fortunately, she had a piano in her room, but no tape recorder. So she kept playing it without sleeping for fear of forgetting it, until she went into the studio at 9 o’clock the next day to record it on a two-track tape. “I just felt as if it was a universal kind of prayer or something. I just don’t know where it came from. This never happened to me since or before.” ‘Songbird’ would arguably become McVie’s signature song. Originally released as the B-side to ‘Dreams’ in 1977, it ended up on Fleetwood Mac’s world-conquering 'Rumours' album. It wasn’t her biggest hit for the group, but the ballad was a frequent closer at Fleetwood Mac concerts, especially after McVie rejoined in 2014.

    Fleetwood Mac had many members over the years since the late 60s. The constants were founders Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass. They started as a blues band but evolved into a pop/rock band in the mid 70s..
    The “classic” lineup which had the most success and all the big hits and who most people think of when talking about Fleetwood Mac is Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckungham and Stevie Nicks. That lineup was together from about 1974-1987. After that the members would leave and come back several times.Again with Mick and John being the only members in all the band lineup variations. That classic lineup reunited several times.
    Christine, Lindsay and Stevie wrote and sang all the band’s famous songs.
    Interesting fact, when the band was looking for a new guitarist in about 1974, Mick Fleetwood asked Lindsay Buckingham to join. He said yes but only if his girlfriend at the time Stevie Nicks could also join. Lindsay and Stevie had recently recorded an album together. Mick reluctantly agreed. So Stevie was almost not a member.

    RIP Christine McVie. I have seen them twice. Loved Christine, she was very modest but very talented. Christine wrote many of the group’s songs. Christine Prefect joined the band in 1971 and Married the Base Player John McVie, they later divorced. Prior to that Christine was the vocalist in a band called Chicken Shack. They had a minor hit in 1969 called I’d Rather Go Blind which was a hit for Etta James in 67. Sadly Christine passed away in November 2022 at the age of 79😢

    This is a great song and a crowd-pleaser, but I don’t think it can truly be appreciated until you realize it’s a breakup song, a song of letting go. Its depth is that love is worth it even with loss, even if you know the loss is coming. Music is the one art that exists in Time, it’s here and then it’s gone. It can be remembered and maybe repeated, but this performance tonight is unique and irreplaceable. Like a human life. It’s the impermanence that makes it precious. We’ll done Maddy, treasuring the music!

There have been many band member changes over the years, but when you say "Fleetwood Mac", it's those 5 that everybody automatically thinks of. All incredible talents, and Mick Fleetwood and John McVie have to be considered among the best duos when it comes to percussion and bass.
