Oh damn! She was the glue of Fleetwood. Such an incredible part of their sound. I can’t think of how many good memories have included McVie’s voice somewhere in the background.

Some Fleetwood Mac fans aren’t even aware of her 1970 solo LP, pre-joining the Mac, it’s very well-regarded but wasn’t even originally released in the US until the late 70’s

Likewise, few know her Mac work prior to Stevie and Lindsey joining. This one’s pretty spiffy and rather more energetic than the work she’s more known for:

I feel sad and a bit guilty. That Chevrolet commercial was playing nonstop a few days ago and I finally muttered, “Damn you, Christine McVie!”

This really sucks. I hope her family is doing OK in the circumstances.
My first exposure to her talent was on the 1970 Fleetwood Mac album Kiln House, also the first of their albums I bought. She drew the cover art, sang backing vocals and played piano and Wurlitzer.

The Stevie/Lindsey albums broke the band wide open, but do yourself a favor and check out the albums when Christine and Bob Welch were the main songwriters, like Bare Trees and Mystery to Me. She wrote a lot of great songs even before the hits era.
