Most believe that the real "Mac" in British-American band Fleetwood Mac turned out to be singer/ songwriter/ musician Christine McVie, née Perfect (!), who passed away after a short illness on November 30 at the age of 79. McVie's songs powered the group through its most creative years as a rock/pop band, with hits like "Say You Love Me," "Think About Me," "Hold Me," "Everywhere," "Little Lies," and "Don't Stop," which was the theme song for Bill Clinton's campaign ("don't stop thinking about tomorrow..."). In her honor, we're offering several of her most memorable songs: "Over My Head" from the band's 1975 self-titled album, and "You Make Loving Fun" and "Songbird" from 1977's "Rumours" album, the latter often servingas the band's closing song. R.I.P.

What an amazing career. Being steeped in Chicago blues as a kid always had a thing for Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, the version that proceeded Christine and Stevie joining. Green passed in 2020. His mental illness prompted the band's move to pop with the massive talent of Christine
and Stevie. One of my favorite Peter Green albums is "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago" where they play with many of Chicago's blues greats.
