The numbers just don’t lie when it comes to why she was the true hero of the band. She married John Mcvie in 1969, joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970. From there she wrote or co-wrote half the songs featured on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group’s 1988 “Greatest Hits.”
In fact a lot of the songs she wrote during the band’s golden years were some of their biggest hits those include “Don’t Stop,” which served as Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign song in 1992, “You Make Loving Fun,”which she wrote about an affair she had with the band’s lighting director Curry Grant and the “Tango in the Night” twosome of “Little Lies” and “Everywhere.”
After a brief but unsuccessful solo career, she returned to the band and the rest is music history. For fifty-two years she was with Fleetwood Mac and helped them with most of their success. She will be greatly missed by fans worldwide.
