An absolutely wonderful music group. Another loss to the creative world.

He was part of the early lineup, a blues-rock band with a sound completely different from that of the later, more commercially successful lineup that featured Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. I liked both incarnations of the band.

Man of the World no longer man of the World.

“The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Prong Crown)”

Now, when the day goes to sleep
And the full moon looks
The night is so black that the darkness cooks

Don’t you come creepin’ around
Makin’ me do things I don’t wanna do
Can’t believe that you need my love so bad

Come sneakin’ around tryin’ to drive me mad
Bustin’ in on my dreams
Makin’ me see things I don’t wanna see

‘Cause you’re da Green Manalishi
With the two prong crown
All my tryin’ is up all your bringin’ is down

Just takin’ my love then slippin’ away
Leavin’ me here just tryin’ to keep from followin’ you

“Albatross” is a timeless piece of music. I hear cover versions by newer artists and it remains evergreen.

RIP

RIP - Green wrote Black Magic Woman in 1966. That's almost a trivia answer these days.

One of the top rock guitarists especially for blues based

Sadly plagued with mental illness exacerbated by a bizarre LSD trip with German radicals Ranier Langhans and Uschi Obermaier when they were allegedly trying to talk him into doing a show for their kommune

Instead poor Peter went south bad mentally

Worlds best Jewish rock guitarists ever.....

Greenie left Fleetwood Mac in 1970, so you posted a song written by Lindsey Buckingham released in 1977? Clueless.
