Christine McVie, RIP

Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie died aged 79, "after a short illness". I don't think that I have a single record on which Christine appears, but there are a few songs of hers that I will remember.

She first crossed my horizon whilst in Chicken Shack, singing "I'd rather go blind" at the end of the 60s, although this wasn't very much my taste in music. A year later, she moved on to Fleetwood Mac, bolstering their sound after Peter Green left. Several years later I became enamoured of her song "You make loving fun" from "Rumours".

I liked the post-1975 version of Fleetwood Mac less than earlier versions, so basically almost 50 years of Christine's career have passed me by. Even so, I would like to remember her as a name from my musical past.
