Christine McVie

This is sad. I didn't think she was that old.

Me either but Fleetwood Mac was formed in 1967 (she was 24) Most of what we know of the band was in the '70's. Rumors came out the year I was 16 and it was a very good summer. What a great album, a quick search says the 8th best selling album of all time. I remember reading a book about the band and how every other album they had done sold in the 400,000 range and then that - and as all the marriages were ending.

RIP indeed.
 
She was somewhat overshadowed by Stevie Nicks, but was every bit as talented. Everybody knows the band from the Nicks/Buckingham days, and music aficionados will go on about the Peter Green days, but I liked the McVie and Bob Welch songs from the early seventies. Early days of FM album oriented progressive rock.



RIP Christine
 
I would have never thought that she was 79! If I had to guess, I would have said 65 maybe. Of course when guessing a woman's age I always lean on the side of caution. :rolleyes2:
 
Most folks seem to think Stevie was the "pick of the litter".
Bob
I would have said that Peter Green was the pick of the litter. Out of the later Fleetwood Mac (which I am not all that much of a fan of) Christine McVie was definitely the pick of the litter.
 
I would argue more talented. Not only was she a great singer in her own right, but a fantastic musician and song writer.
I was never a big fan of the band, but I watched a documentary of them a couple of years ago and realized I liked a few of their songs a lot.
Christine McVie was definitely the most stand out performer and artist.
