Peter Green died in his sleep July 25, at the age of 73. His warm voice and distinctive guitar playing propelled the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac to stardom in the U.K. His best-known composition,"Black Magic Woman," barely cracked the charts there but stormed the Top 10 in the U.S. when Santana covered it. .
Peter Alan Greenbaum was born Oct. 29, 1946, at home in the Bethnal Green neighborhood of London's East End. His grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Poland and Ukraine. Fascism and anti-Semitism were on the rise in England as well as Germany in the years before WWII — thugs threw bricks and bottles through the windows of Jewish homes in the East End. After the war, Peter's father officially changed the family name to Green.
