“Such a talent who NEVER got the recognition she deserved.”

Well, she wasn’t one to showcase herself; though, she was probably the most talented of the bunch.

Agreed, they were the perfect complement to each other

I got to see them right after she rejoined the group and it’s still in my mind how magical that concert was.

It's only the one song though. I've deleted it from my playlists, one of the great things about digital music.

Favorite album was the double album "Tusk", once you get past the marching band title track, it's full of great songs that would have fit right in on the "Rumours" album.

John McVie from FM was (and might still be) a Trump supporter.

Oh my, she was the quiet one with a lot of talent and they will miss her dearly.

[Birdman]

Well said.

"I always thought she was a better singer than Stevie Nicks."

Stevie Nicks' warbly style wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

Is she the one who sang “You make loving fun?”

[Dr. Franklin]

She was born Miss Perfect, Christine Anne Perfect before marrying bassist John McVie.

“She cheated on her bandmate husband, and the wrote songs about it. That’s pretty messed up.”

They all did that at one time or another....WITH each other IIRC.

Fame, money and unlimited cocaine will make people do all kinds of crazy things.

[shadowlands1960]

Yes.

[Mathews]

79.

Her song/singing just became popular again with the Chevy EVs commercials.

Great commercials for bad cars, I have to believe she was well compensated as writer.

[Mathews]

Naw dawg. Naw.

“I got to see them right after she rejoined the group and it’s still in my mind how magical that concert was.”

I saw them at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium shortly after Buckingham/Nicks joined the band; it must have been late 1975.

Who hasn’t made mistakes? I haven’t made that particular one, but many others.

Wtf is wrong with you?

If one is a “rocker” and makes it past 27 y/o, I swear they’re pickled.

And Mick Fleetwood has a restaurant in Hawaii. Guy Fieri has him on his show ever once and a while.
