Christine McVie
Like George was the quiet Beatle, you were the quiet Mac. Avoiding the melodrama of Stevie and Lindsey, you shone with your talent alone. Your deep rich vocal. Your perfect touch on the keyboards, creating many memorable melodies and offering much rhythmic support. Your insightful lyrics, always providing another powerful songwriting prowess to the band. Your contributions to the band were huge, especially as you were with them long before the Buckingham-Nicks partnership forged their talents with yours, John’s, and Mick’s. You could hold your own against the other two larger than life lead vocalists while also holding your own against three high caliber instrumentalists. Your inspiration to female musicians is still being felt across three generations and will continue to many years into the future. You inspired three generations to “Don’t Stop” thinking about tomorrow and that particular amazing creation of yours will exemplify the shining light that was your beautiful soul.
