RIP Christine McVie

RIP Christine and thank you for the music and memories.

Wonder why she did not receive credits for a few albums?

Perhaps she was still under contract from another label?

I saw them live first in late 1970 (I think) and she was there on stage.

I lost interest in FM when Nicks joined as her vocals rub me the wrong way, also not a fan of Buckingham’s guitar work.

"Prove Your Love" (Heroes Are Hard To Find) and "Keep on Going" (Mystery to Me) are two of my favorites. The latter was written by Bob Welch, which is rare because when it comes to Fleetwood Mac songs, the songwriter usually did the lead vocals.

I also think Christine's contributions to Tusk ("Over & Over" - "Brown Eyes" - "Never Make Me Cry" - "Honey Hi" & "Never Forget") are vastly underrated.

Thanks for the music! R.I.P.

Reality check for us. Counting my blessings though, I at least feel lucky enough witnessing (one & one only) Fleetwood performance. Much later Fleetwood, 2006ish San Diego ... Coors Amphitheater. @bdp24, yep, me too unfortunately :-( Rumor has it Christine was "done with" the road / touring thing then.

Her work with Bob Welch on Bare Trees and Mystery to Me is great, but not acknowledged enough. She, and Welch were critical to the mid-period of Mac and if you listen to this period, the sucessful format that the commercial Mac had later was already laid and present, before B&N joined. Great voice and songwriting. Check out these lps if you are a fan. IMHO some of her best songs. I was surprised to hear the news.
