Liked a bit of F Mac! RIP Christine.
Loved Fleetwood mac Rip Christine McVie
The woman was a great singer.
I am not familiar with this lady. I went to see Fleetwood Mac at the Belfry Golf Resort In 1969. It was when āAlbatrossā was released.
She definitely wasnāt with them then, it was an all male band.
RIP Christine McVie
A fit Bird, meant most respectfully.

I have that exact video on my YT playlist.
I must dig out āRumoursā my only Fleetwood Mac record. She had a nice voice and wasnāt as mad as Stevie Nicks
Sad that she has died, she was a great song writer and excellent singer. Of course the entire group was a mess by the time that they released Tusk (first digitally recorded album btw). I saw them at Wembley in 1980 and apart from Lindsey Buckingham they were a shambles. They came stage on very late, went off for an hour, and probably only played ten songs. Much later, watching a documentary on the band two things came clear - they were stoned out of their heads for many years and that aside Christine was a brilliant singer / song writer.
Favourite of her songs - either the chain or songbird.

Sad news, You Make Loving Fun. [1977]
Writer: Christine McVie
I have to say that the lines:
And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score
in āSongbirdā has always jarred with me as the corniest lyrics ever written as if she couldnāt think of anything to rhyme with ābeforeā.
There are undoubtedly worse lyrics and I love the song but there you go.
(Iāll leave Omah to post the video)
The meaning of songs is often obscure - Christine herself has said that she rarely understood Stevieās lyrics - but this may be an explanation:
What is the meaning of the song āSongbirdā by Fleetwood Mac?
Christine McVie wrote Songbird when Fleetwood Mac was recording the Rumours album. While there are different interpretations of the songās meaning, going by what McVie has said, itās about the members of the band who were going through hard times with longtime couples breaking up (Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and John and Christine McVie). The āsongbirds" are the members of the band, and the song is about how much they mean to McVie, and the need for them to get along with each other and keep singing and playing together.
i.e. with a musical score ā¦ 
The two lines about the band remaining stable may provide a contrast to the changes taking place in her personal life ā¦ but who knows ā¦ people read into it what they will ā¦ 
Thatās all very well but whereās the video?
Somewhere on the internet ā¦ I guess ā¦ 
I would have thought youād have it on your NAS - canāt you link it in ā¦ 
Of course I could but I wouldnāt want to spoil your funā¦
Well, I wouldnāt want to spoil an opportunity for you to display your expertise ā¦
But I donāt need to, so here is the opportunity for you to add, what is it? your fourth, noā¦ fifth clip in this thread. Go for itā¦
