Fleetwood Mac's one true love story was the friendship between Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks. As we remember McVie, here is a tribute to the pair's musical bond.
’s most notable line-up hinged on Christine McVie liking Stevie Nicks. By 1974, McVie had been in the band for several years, joining soon after she married founding member John McVie. She was the only girl in the band of men, a dynamic she was used to.
Mick Fleetwood was the first member of the band to hear a Buckingham-Nicks song and suggested they invite Lindsey Buckingham to be their new guitarist. But Buckingham told the group that he and Nicks were a package deal. “Mick came to me and said, ‘They have a girl involved here. You’re gonna have to meet her and see if you like her,’” McVie recalled in a 2015 interview withNicks and Buckingham would official join the band on New Year’s Eve, a life-changing decision for the entire group. From 1975’son, the band would become one of the biggest in the world.
Fleetwood Mac would fall apart and return to each other repeatedly, thanks to their decadent, drug and alcohol-fueled tours and the dramatic double-break-ups that would inspire 1977’s’s year-end rock charts just this year. Braving it all were McVie and Nicks, a unified feminine force in the face of rock’s overwhelmingly masculine energy of both the era and their very band. To be a woman in music is to be constantly compared and only upheld againstwomen in music. No matter what genre, female performers are viewed as competing in a narrow competition where few are meant to succeed, even if they all bring something unique to the table.
