BREAKING NEWS
Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac is dead at 79. The singer-songwriter was a hitmaker for one of music’s most popular bands.

Wednesday, November 30, 2022 3:10 PM ET

Ms. McVie’s commercial potency hit a high point in the 1970s and ’80s; she wrote or co-wrote half of the 16 tracks on Fleetwood Mac’s 1988 “Greatest Hits” anthology, including “Don’t Stop,” “Say You Love Me,” “You Make Lovin’ Fun,” and “Hold Me.”https://www.nytimes.com/...Q&smid=share-url[/url]

She also wrote Little Lies. I’m actually kind of surprised that up until know the main members were all alive. They’re all in their mid to late 70’s and they didn’t exactly live the cleanest lifestyle back when they were big

Damn! She was an extremely talented songwriter/singer/musician. I'm gonna go find her version of Songbird and put it on repeat.

Well, depends on how you count Peter Green & Bob Welch; you could say "But, that's a different Fleetwood Mac" and you'd be fairly correct

Damn! Got a recent surge in popularity with Everywhere being used in the Chevy EV commercials.

Stevie Nicks got most of the limelight as the female singer of Fleetwood Mac but McVie was every bit her equal if not better at times.

Great band. How many bands had three different lead singers with top-10 songs, let alone from the same album? Besides The Beatles.

McVie had a near perfect voice.

She was underrated but so talented. There's not many rock bands that have three heavyweight talents (songwriting and performing) - with her, Stevie and Lindsay.

Also I can only think of two other band with three great singers - the Beach Boys and Beatles? There's not even many with two great singers - the Eagles and Cars.

The Eagles had two and a half - Frey (1), Henley (1), and then Meisner + Walsh = 1/2

Agree a great band and such amazing talent. It is awesome that she was able to experience the resurgence via the Chevy Commerical.

Another band with three great lead vocals - and hits - and on the same album would be early Chicago: Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, and Peter Cetera (rank ordered at least IMO.)

Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young) say hello.
