But she, personally was a source of many big hits in the seventies and eighties.
I have respect for her as a songwriter. Unfortunately, for her, she was not very attractive looking. That really hurt her in an industry where looks were becoming more and more important in the age of video.
Born Christine Anne Perfect 12 July 1943.
Sad news. One of the best ever.
First saw them in Austin in 1975, and last time was they toured all together, with Lindsey Buckingham, I guess that was 2017.
