A beautiful woman with a spirit which resonated in her craft. Her natural creative passion touched me as a youngster. I don't believe another artist possessed the ability to move one's emotions in such a fluidic, deeply honest, stirring manner. She made Fleetwood Mac.
Christine was the most humble & kind person ! All the band loved her ! The whole world loved her including myself 💕💕🙏🙏 In the 1970S I was in my 20S now in my 70S ! God bless & peace out ✌️🙏🙏❤️💛💙💚🇺🇸🇩🇪🏵️🌼🌺🌸💐🍀💕💕🙏🙏 Her Muzik plays for ever in my haus ! And my heart ❤️❤️
FM is about unique sounds and arrangements. Most of the melodies are unique, I believed it was created from her keyboard. also, I believe she help Lindsey to develop those unique sounds. I believe Christine is the one who created the magic for FM,
YES!!! I would Sing Stevie’s Songs all the time but my husband, a music & vocal Teacher wanted me to do some Christine’s songs because she was the best singer, musician, writer & was way more beautiful. So although I’d always loved Christie I’d just never thought I could do her songs. But my husband played guitar for me & then I loved it. I was on fire For her & studied Everything & listened to everything about her I could get. I felt like I was having a heart attack when the news busted out that she’d died.
I have been in love with her since I first heard her song Homeward Bound on FM's Bare Trees record. Chris was the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac and left us too soon. RIP Chris.
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED CHRISTINE ,AND LOVED FOLLOWING HER AND FLEETWOOD MAC , WHY DO THE GOOD DIE ,AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED IN THE CASE OF CHRISTINE , YOUNG . I WILL NEVER FORGET CHRISTINE , RIP LOVE XX. ROB.
That voice and those simple, honest, heartfelt lyrics. No 5 octave range, flaming hoops, or vocal gymnastics. Clean, clear, floating on air. A little bit vulnerable but never weak or wimpy. Like your high school girlfriend was singing to you and you could trust her because you knew she would never lie to you. I didn't know girls could be musicians like that. She got into my mind the first time I heard her sing in 1975 and it's never left. I don't want it to leave. I can't think of any other musician who had that effect on me. I don't know if I was madly in love with Christine, but I know a small part of me went with her when she left, and a small part of her will go with me when I leave.
RIP to this goddess of music that was our beloved Christine McVie. I came here for my favorite tune of hers that was written by her solely, as with many others in the Fleetwood Mac anthology. Privileged to know her stuff and get to hear/see real talent at work alongside Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Truly one of my biggest musical influences in hindsight.
So much talent ran through Fleetwood Mac over the years but Christine was ,with the exception of Bob Welch the most under appreciated member great singer, musician and an even better writer some of the bands best hits were written by her
While 79 isn't young by any means, the passing of Ms.McVie is a loss to the music world and to the world in general. We will all make that trip too, once you pass 60+ years you are on borrowed time... R.I.P. Christine , thanks for the songs.....
I saw them in concert in 1997 shortly before Christie left the band. From my crummy seat way in the wings of the Palace I could look down on Christie's keyboard spot. When she played and sang the lead of "You Make Loving Fun" it brought the house down, with wild cheers of "Mc-VIE! Mc-Vie!" Outrageous she told her BF it was about a dog! LMFAO!
I remember her as Christine perfect with chicken shack and singing I’d rather go blind a perfect song for such a talented singer so soulful ,what a career ,sadly missed and they don’t come around that often ❤❤❤❤
Christine was very unique, just pure raw talent and lovely voice , a classy lady who really brought fleetwood mac to its height, her early blues years. And first mac albums were great. I will always keep listening to her buitiful songs forever r.i.p. christine.
There was nobody above her for me I have been so in love with her since first becoming aware of her as a kid in the late 70s she was the most naturally beautiful lady I had ever laid eyes on and I was completely helpless and defenseless against her songbird voice melting me into a puddle each and everytime Christine was my queen I will never forget her
The pleasure these people bring to the world, well it is there to see and hear, what do we have today, nothing... and that make the second half of the 20th century the best the world has ever seen. RIP Christine.
She had a great voice and was also a great talented musician. I love Fleetwood Mac I had the greatest hits CD in prison back in 98 that I borrowed and even though I knew who they were I wasn't really into em much before then, I liked one or two songs but that was it. As soon as I was borrowed the CD and started playing it I was blown away, I couldn't believe that I had never been into them previously. Those songs got me through quite a lot of months after that, they are catchy feelgood songs a lot of them. RIP mam. ❤❤
A Beutuful Woman A Super Talent Lived a full Life A once in a lif time talent With the Most Beautiful Eyes And such a Beautiful voice Muti talented in music and art Prolific Song writer.. Amazing Lady RIP Sweet Lady You will be missed forever
I liked Christine mcvie she was a great person from what I saw of her on music videos with Fleetwood Mac she had a beautiful voice thank Christine for the music throughout the years RIP Christine 🙏
Was a FM fan since their Albatross hit in 1969 (giving my age away here) and discovered they played blues music of which I was already listening to at the time. To then follow them when they went to US, completely changing their music format and releasing some quirky albums. Until 1975 when it all changed. Never in my wildest dreams did i ever think FM would become a commercial success from 1975 onwards. Saw them twice when they toured here in Australia.
Thanks for the perspective. From my very limited knowledge of the band, I had the impression of Mick being the center but not the creative one. I got the album "Fleetwood Mac: The Early Years" and boy was it crap! None of the creative talents that joined about 1975. I liked Mick in his acting role in "The Running Man" as the revolutionary radical trying to "teach street punks the Constitution".
@@hallmobility Yes, you're right Mick was the foundation of the old band with John McVie that formed the old band, but the new band members Christine, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey were the real creative core of the new band.
Steve Sallows She wrote the best songwriter in the band, was always up for anything workwise. She and Lindsay Buckingham were the driving wheels of Fleetwood Mac.
Ive always been a huge Fleetwoodmac fan, I suddenly realize after her death, she was the heart and soul of the bad that held the band together.... Other members were may have been star quality, she encompased both that and "soul quality"
The five of them all met at the Mexican restaurant, not just Stevie and Christine, they all liked each, including the girls. It was not a one-on-one interview but, Mick did say that, if Christine didn't get along with Stevie, they would not go through with it. Details matter.
And Eddy Quintela? Second husband of Christine McVie and co-writer on a number of her songs from 1987 through 1997 has passed away. Song writer, keyboardist and composer of Portuguese origin, Eddy Quintela was also the second husband of Christine McVie, a fundamental element in the formation of Fleetwood Mac.
Her voice & Lyndsay's amazing way he "picks" his guitar are amazing!!! For "Her"........"There Shall Be No More Crying,.........", Christine McVie's Songbird!!!
Christine was always the female I admired most. Her talent, poise, and personality, she is a beautiful soul and Fleetwood Mac is no more without her imo. Bella L
Years ago I grew curious if there was a rivalry but came to be impressed by the fact that Christine took the high road and focused more on being Stevie's mentor, instead of her enemy. Stevie Nicks missed and always wanted Christine to come back, which goes to show that she really did have a strong bond with her.
Both of them stated numerous times in interviews there was no rivalry or jealousy between them. They were glad to have a woman friend they could talk to in an industry dominated by men. The fighting and turmoil was always with the men in their lives. That whole cat fight thing was started by trashy hack writers trying to pass themselves off as journalists.
Çhristiñes unique talent beauty brawn ànd wisdom brought her the success that she rightfully deserved. It was so sad to see her pass on at a young age.
Catch you on the flipside Christine....in the meantime RIP....All the good people of this crazy planet that we call the World will get together and experience real love....without all the confusion that we suffer in this short lifetime on our planet Earth that's actually perfect....except for this confusion called human !❤❤❤
It is still interesting to this very day, Fleetwood Mac had little commercial success until McVie, Buckingham, and Nicks joined the band. Soon thereafter, the three of them began writing nearly all the songs on their albums and the rest is history as the amazing thing about this band - is that they had three strong songwriters. When they worked together, it was just amazing even when only one of them wrote the songs and the others contributed to it. I remember songs she wrote when she was front and center as rare as it was - the last, Little Lies in 1987, was enormous and totally done by her and her boyfriend.
incorrect.....christine mcvie was already in the band.....she didnt join when lindsey/nicks joined...... they didnt even want nicks to join, but lindsey insisted it (his biggest mistake)......also, lindsey and nicks split before rumours and never reconnected, they remained enemies from then on......nicks was a out of control drug addict is why......lindsey is a true musician, nicks was just in it for the money to feed her drug addictions.....lindsey made almost all of the music with christine by themselves....nicks contributed almost nothing.
@@jokers7890 what I wrote is correct. They did not really chart many songs with the original lineup. The one album Christine did before the other two joined she wrote three songs and two of them charted . The only hits on that album I believe. Their huge success started with Rumors when all three wrote and contributed. Her second album with the band. By the way Christine had final say if Stevie Nicks could join or not. She said a late career interview after talking to Nicks she loved her and wanted her to join. To the very end they were the best of friends as the only two females in the band and two thirds of the successful song writers. There was a rough time as you wrote but they were friends again with the drug problems past them.
RIP Christine ♥
Christine is one of the greatest female musicians of all time. As a songwriter, musician, and vocalist she is unmatched! 🎶
Christine was my favorite FM member. Love her voice. She will be missed.
Agreed
Rest in peace, Christine. You touched so many people through your art. We will remember you!

So Beautiful and Talentes Woman,RIP Christen,xx.
A beautiful woman with a spirit which resonated in her craft. Her natural creative passion touched me as a youngster. I don't believe another artist possessed the ability to move one's emotions in such a fluidic, deeply honest, stirring manner. She made Fleetwood Mac.
Her and Lindsey......she built the foundation and Lindsey ran with it. Imagine what they could have been without Nicks destroying it along the way.
She was also a pretty good piano player.
@@TheGuitarReb I totally agree. Mrs Christine McVie was INDEED a beautiful lady......By the way, JESUS CHRIST was a Black man!!!
@@johnjacobs7928 Sammy Davis Jr. was a Jew. A black Jew. So what?
McVie will be missed. Thank you for sharing your beauty and talent Christine McVie. RIP.

She was always my favorite of Fleetwood Mac.Such a smooth and beautiful voice!She will be missed!
What a talent that woman was, she will be missed.
Christine's cover of ' Rather go blind' will live with me forever.
I love her song: "Oh Daddy".
It's too bad that wasn't a big hit.
I have been in love with her since I first heard her song Homeward Bound on FM's Bare Trees record. Chris was the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac and left us too soon. RIP Chris.
Fleetwood Mac will never be the same without her

Christine McVie was the only adult in the band, like an anchor figure holding it all together. Lovely, deep, soulful lady, with a quiet voice.

Stevie got most of the credit and she is great but Christine sang most of the songs and had the voice of an angel.
i can't believe she's gone.
Me neither!😢
Absolute songbird. So relaxing to listen to, and I'm sorry for her news.
Steve Sallows
She wrote the best songwriter in the band, was always up for anything workwise. She and Lindsay Buckingham were the

Songbird is the song I hope I get greeted in heaven
Rest in peace dear lady. You made growing up a lot better and easier somehow.
Wow. I feel the same way!! I think of FM as family.
Christine Perfect!!!
Gorgeous and talented woman

Beautiful inside and out. ❤️
Such talent!!
I saw them in 1990 and "Songbird" was the final encore. Means a lot more to me now.
Christine I love you forever 💞💞💞
We lost an entertainment ICON, when Christine McVie, passed away. I don't like it when the people I enjoy seeing and hearing, leave too soon.
Always my fav vocalist of this band.
Fly high Songbird ❣️

Beautiful voice Beautiful Lady Will miss her
She was a major influence within Fleetwood Mac and will be sadly missed by her legion of fans and may she rest in peace
Dear Lord Please give this singer a new fresh life on earth when the time is right in your name I prey Amen!
I wish we weren't looking back I'd rather be looking forward to her next earthly chapter RIP star
Thanks Christine.💜

Classy understated beauty….
Another great keyboardist (and guitarist) and writer of love songs is Paul McCartney. A duet between these two would have been nice.
Çhristiñes unique talent beauty brawn ànd wisdom brought her the success that she rightfully deserved. It was so sad to see her pass on at a young age.
