Christine McVie

CHRISTINE McVIE
 
 
Christine McVie  (born 12 July 1943) is a British singer, keyboardist and songwriter.  Her greatest fame came as one of the lead vocalists of rock band Fleetwood Mac, which she joined in 1970, while married to bassist John McVie.  She has also released three solo albums.  McVie is noted for her smoky, low alto vocal performances and her direct but poignant lyrics about the joys and pitfalls of love.  AllMusic further describes her as an “[u]nabashedly easy-on-the-ears singer/songwriter, and the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits”.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
Another important British Invasion band, Fleetwood Mac had a major change or two in direction over their career.  Like Manfred Mann, they started off as an important blues-rock English band; after several line-up changes – including the addition of two women, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks – Fleetwood Mac evolved into a best-selling pop-rock band.  Their 1977 album, Rumours (primarily named for the numerous personal upheavals in the lives of the two couples in the band, John McVie and Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) became the sixth biggest selling album of all time.
