Celebrating Christine McVie...The Soul of Fleetwood Mac! | Professor Of Rock

A tribute to the beautiful Christine McVie...She was the endearing “secret weapon” of the brilliant, yet treacherous supergroup Fleetwood …the enchanting songstress that illuminated natural beauty with a quiet, unpretentious confidence. Her bluesy, angelic voice mesmerized us, and the sincerity of her music inspired us with some of the greatest songs of the rock era… Like Everywhere, Don’t Stop, You Make Loving Fun, Little Lies, Songbird, Hold Me and her solo hit Got A Hold on Me… She was so underrated especially on Fleetwood Mac’s monumental album “Rumors”.
She was truly a remarkable artist. It’’s a tribute to the precious legacy of the world’s songbird…next…on Professor of Rock.

She was called “the songbird” for her velvety, soulful voice. Just like the beautiful sound of a Nightingale at sunrise, the heavens opened, and the world came to a standstill when Christine McVie sang. When she joined her ex-husband John McVie to be a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was called the “secret weapon” of the emerging super group. Fans that were smitten by her voice before ’The Mac’ knew her by her birth name….Christine Perfect. A name enshrined in destiny to become one of the most beloved vocalists of the Rock Era.
Christine Perfect came from a musical & spiritual family. Her father, Cyril Perfect, was a concert violinist, and her mother, Beatrice Perfect, was a psychic faith healer. Christine began playing in duos and bands with other college students. She played the bass for the Rhythm & Blues outfit Sounds of Blue, and she was a street musician for a time, playing with guitarist Spencer Davis.
While she played various gigs around England, she earned a degree in sculpture at the Birmingham Art College, and aspired to be an art instructor,. Just prior to getting her art degree, Sounds of Blue split up, and Christine moved to London, where she worked as a window dresser at a department store. Her Sounds of Blue cohort, Stan Webb formed another blues band called Chicken Shack. Webb convinced Christine to join the group as a vocalist and keyboard player, even though she had never played blues piano
Webb knew that Christine was a gifted musician, who could ‘play by ear, so he introduced her to an album by Freddie King, and encouraged her to study the playing of Sonny Thompson, the featured keyboardist on the record. Thompson's technique was a major influence on Christine. It was Thompson’s style that inspired her great passion for blues, and shaped Christine as a musician for the rest of her glorious career.
When Chicken Shack disbanded, Christine released a self-titled solo album in 1970- spotlighting a unique tone- possessing a husky vibrancy that captivated fans & critics, especially on her cover of Etta Jame’s signature spine-tingler, “I’d Rather Go Blind.”
Melody Maker voted Christine Perfect as ‘Best Female Vocalist’ in the magazine’s readers year end poll of 1970. The stage was set for Christine’s “perfect” voice to ‘ring out’ around the world.

You beat me to it. I absolutely agree. 🥰

[@OldStreetDoc]

She had such an incredible presence on stage. Whether as the focal point in any moment or in the background of the ensemble… I couldn’t take my eyes off of Christine McVie. It wasn’t ‘flash’ or any sort of ‘front man’ thing. Honestly I can’t adequately describe it. But it was impossible to not notice & feel. The closest I guess I can come to it is - an almost palpable serenity.

Stevie Nicks is such a big star that it’s easy to overlook that Christine McVie actually wrote more hits for Fleetwood Mac than Stevie Nicks did. (Stevie Nicks saved a lot of her good songs for her solo career.) McVie’s keyboard playing and ethereal voice were always an important part of their sound. She will be greatly missed.

[@TheRickHoward]

It's no knock on Stevie's immense talent, but Christine's voice carries so much ethereal weight, it will be hard for anyone to ever measure up to it.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

You’re so right Rick.

[@scottmcneely1927]

She had a pretty good range, too. Something Stevie is not known for.

[@normadom]

Ethereal describes her voice to a T. Never fell for a song like "Songbird did right from the opening bar.

[@aprilgosa5779]

Stevie would agree with you@ TheRick Howard

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

Stevie is good for backup vocals on songs such as Little Lies but that song and Everywhere are huge examples of Christine’s voice carrying them for the main draw

[@petersauer9496]

Raymond I agree with you 100% Christine was the best singer for Fleetwood Mac

[@stephenhanft1226]

I'm so glad you're doing a tribute episode for Christine McVie. Fleetwood Mac is, without question, one of my favorite bands of all-time. While Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham dominated the publicity from the media, Chistine was really the heart and soul of the group. She wrote and sang lead on so many of Fleetwood Mac's best and most classic songs From the 70's through the 80's, they had a great 5 consecutive album stretch with Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango In The Night with too many terrific songs to name. She was one of the greats and will be very much missed.

[@tyrannosapienlex]

Fleetwood Mac was made *Perfect* by Christine McVie.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I feel like Christine should have gotten as much recognition as Stevie and Lindsey did. She made SO MANY great songs magical.

[@maxsdad538]

NOBODY could call Tusk a great album.

[@stephenhanft1226]

@@maxsdad538 Two of the most respected album review sites on the internet are Allmusic and Discog Fever. Allmusic graded Tusk 5 stars and Discog Fever graded Tusk an "A". That proves your statement to be completely false. Maybe you don't think it's a great album but others obviously do (including me). Music is subjective.

[@pauljackson2473]

She did that really good Solo album, I think in the 80’s.

[@Mrs.Patriot]

For me, she will always be the voice of Fleetwood Mac.

[@rogerdeahl9629]

Christine and John McVie were always in the background in Fleetwood Mac. She was so underrated. But I would say she was the glue that held the Mac together............ Stevie and Lindsey were the drama. Thank You for this touching tribute to the lovely Christine McVie. Well done, Professor. 💙

[@blazerhawkdarren68]

My thoughts exactly.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks Roger.

[@KidIndigo1]

Well said. And, um, accurate, at least from my perspective. Thank you!

[@stephenbrown4211]

She was the one who Stevie could turn to, so I guess she was the glue that held the band together

[@fivestring65ify]

I feel the same way. She was the anchor.

[@larrymullin265]

I watched Christine McVie from the front row of the Beacon theater NYC , early 1980's . It was this concert that I learned what is meant by "professional musician" . The quality of her voice , her sublime skill at playing piano and her song craft all came together to enrapture and lift my young spirit with a new sublime awareness of life , of myself. She ended the night with Songbird -( "And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before. And I wish you all the love in the world. But most of all, I wish it from myself.") And as she ended the song at that point , an audience member shouted " we love you Christie " And the audience cheered. My memory of a beautiful soul who shared her gift that I still hold # RIP Christie

[@conniebauer4128]

Excellent tribute Professor. As I've ALWAYS said: Christine McVie is the best part of Fleetwood Mac.

She IS the Mac. PERIODT.

Those keyboards from Christine gave that music a unique touch to FM. Loved her songs, and Warm Ways will always be a favorite. Thank you Christine.

[@Undertaker67203]

Christine McVie, was the true heartbeat of Fleetwood Mac. She always seemed to remain above the drama and add a quiet beauty to every album. Like most young men in the late seventies and eighties, I lusted for Stevie Nicks, but my heart longed for Christine. Rest in peace, Songbird, your music has made you immortal.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Both women were trailblazers in their own way, but Christine will always be my #1. Sorry Stevie, you are wonderful too.

Rest in peace, dear Songbird. Your songs entertained us, but more importantly, touched our hearts.

[@johndurant8687]

a dear friend of mine passed away this past October, and in my grieving process I was taken back to the songs of my youth that were the background to much of our shared experiences. The Christine McVie songs of 1975 to 1977 were the ones that I longed to hear. So when Christine passed a month after my friend my longing to hear her music was amplified, and I've been binge listening ever since. So thankful for her music! I realize that music and memories often get stored together.

[@cherinoelke]

Oh damn, I'm crying again. I am bummed beyond belief at Christine's passing. I was holding out hope of hearing the best lineup of Fleetwood Mac at least one more time live, Songbird gives me chills. We were blessed she shared her gifts with us but I don't care if I sound greedy, I need more! Rest in perfection......Christine Perfect.💜

The whole group performed well and I particularly liked the contributions of Christine and Stan Webb on guitar. As I stood waiting for my bus after the show, a Marcos sports car pulled up and a guy got out and asked me if I could direct him to Stevenage College. It was John McVie. As a keen fan of the original Fleetwood Mac, this was a cool moment for a teenager.

Fleetwood Mac's secret sauce. I made a point of traveling to see FM upon her return to the band and touring in 2014. I was a bit anxious prior to the show worrying about meeting and hearing such beloved artists... would they disappoint? Do I have their pedestal too high? No. After opening of course with The Chain they fell into You Make Loving Fun and Christine was... Perfect. Great show, feel more grateful now that I was able to share time with FM. Something made me flip my listening midday last week to shuffling my FM liked songs. With her singing It's You I Miss in my ears a friend messaged me 'did you hear about Christine McVie?'. I just sat staring at my phone for about a minute. Such a random message could only mean one thing... but she's singing to me right this moment. I'll never forget that, song now left an endilible mark on me. Fleetwood Mac has come to its inevitable end. I'm heartbroken and appreciative all at the same time.

I first started listening to Christine on the Bare Trees album. I liked their work (I was 8), but didn’t buy any Fleetwood Mac records in ernest until I was in college. Somebody on the quad was playing You Make Loving Fun so loud, the windows were shaking. At that point I remembered what a great albums Rumours and Tusk were.

Her music will never go away and for that we are eternally grateful.

My kids and I only listened to music and in the car one day on the way home I was playing Hold Me, they were 4 and 2. Of course I was singing and they were too. I paused and listened to them and asked what are you singing?? So when the chorus came back up I listened and they were singing "How Old Are Me, How Old Are Me" 😆 🤣 😂 ahh the memories of the songs and the stages of my life! If someone asks about a specific time of my life I ways refer to what music I was listening to. It was the soul of my living diary I suppose. Tysm Adam 😊

Her voice absolutely fit her maiden name. Songbird was such a beautiful piece of music, and no one could sing it like Christine.

[@ProfessorofRock]

No one.

It’s cover proof.

[@rickyellison9103]

So special , would have loved to meet her.

Christine may be gone but she'll never be forgotten, a true multi talented artist, great tribute Adam, this is so good it could've been played at her funeral, rip Christine

[@chrismarzoli2170]

Thank you for a nice tribute. It’s probably the best one I’ve seen. I completely agree. !

[@robster7316]

Difficult to lose these wonderfully talented legends that left an indelible mark on the soundtracks of our lives. Christine was all that and more. The stories about what a special person she was and her generosity of spirit toward others only make the loss more profound. RIP, Christine.

This one was ROUGH. Rest in heaven Christine.

Christine McVie was definitely the most talented member of the band. She was the main reason I continued to listen to the band after Peter Green left.

[@feljimahill4667]

A fitting tribute to a eloquent lady and legendary performer.

[@lylenash3600]

I saw FM a few times with different line ups. It wasn’t till Christine didn’t tour that I fully appreciated her talent. Better late than never

[@dicedrice7216]

With her mom being a healer and her grandfather having been an organist at Westminster Abbey, it seems there is a family history of melding music and spirituality that led Christine to naturally compose such wonderful music. So many of her songs resonate and uplift when you're feeling down.

[@rickbrenner6079]

She’s one of the great pop songwriters of all time and that’s not hyperbole.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

The Perfect Family lived up to their name.

[@mr.balloffur]

She is amazing ❤️

[@St.Linguini_of_Pesto]

Oh, damn! The track at 1:50 has been one of my favorites throughout my life.. I love that song, every time I'd hear it on the radio I'd turn it up. RIP Christine McVie.

[@paulchekan3555]

Adam, the perfect tribute to the perfect songwriter and musician. Rest in peace sweet Christine.

[@ripley7t429]

Several weeks ago I started listening to her songs. Then the news broke she was gone. Such a wonderful voice. We have the music forever, thank you Christine.

[@tjs114]

Few people were more aptly named than Christine Perfect.

[@jamesscully529]

Prof, you nailed it about Christine McVie. I can't add anymore to what you said.

[@vanessahenry7238]

A lot of people don't know how wonderful she is unless people like you actually SHOW them! Thank you for this! Perfect tribute to this Lady!

[@charlesc7950]

Over My Head has always been my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. I loved her voice. She most certainly was the secret weapon of Fleetwood Mac.
