RIP Christine! I loved not only her hits with the Buckingham-Nicks era Mac, but also her album with Chicken Shack, and her songs on the underappreciated FM albums from Future Games through Heroes Are Hard to Find.
Her wonderful songs and recordings will live on!

Christine McVie perfectly balances Fleetwood Mac. Understated elegance in her songs and voice.

I loved Christine. She always felt like the most balanced member of the group, and if you've never listened to her song "Why" -- on the Mystery to Me album -- go put it on, right now.

She was the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac. Her passing is like that of a close friend, but then I am now listening to Rumours and she's here. She always will be.

...Fleetwood Mac was always a favorite of mine, too, and Rumors was the first album I ever bought.
John

Christine McVie was a "perfect" fit for each of the several phases of Fleetwood Mac, despite the very different styles of Peter Green, Bob Welch, and Buckingham / Nicks.

Canton, Ohio
45 years, I've marveled at Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks, two of the best Rock 'N Rollers of all time, who held together one of the best Rock 'N Roll bands ever. Gonna not shed a tear but raise a full glass.
Bascom Hill
Bay Area
She sang a soaring background vocal on Bob Welch's Sentimental Lady. An epic voice.
Art

"Hypnotized" was on Mystery to Me, not Penguin. Still my favorite Fleetwood Mac record.

Will have to pour a whisky neat and toast the memory of that warm voice. RIP.

I fell in love with her with Chicken Shack. For me she was always the center of Fleetwood Mac.

For those of us alive in the seventies and seeing Fleetwood Mac playing Days on the Green in Oakland, it is hard to imagine a more optimistic time.
