Sad. Great pipes.

 

[twocorgis]

Terribly sad news. She was easily the best songwriter in the later iterations of Fleetwood Mac.

 

[schoolie]

This is a gorgeous song

 

[crank]

She was always my favorite.

RIP Christine

Their big UK hit single.

Did not jump in and piggyback on the thread “What band blew your mind”. “In-A-Garda-Da-Vidda”, Doors, Zep, Who, Leo Kottke were all well covered there. Stationed in Germany from ‘77 till ‘83 “Rumors” was one of the albums we sprang for. If the definition of “blew your mind” was standing in front of the speakers, frozen in place and awed by the music and played it over and over, then “Songbird” is there.

This is such sad news. She was an amazing talent. RIP Christine

That does make me sad. I always thought she was the sanest one in the band. All versions of it.

 

[Westerly Wood]

Hard to hear for me which harmony she has on this tune, but my favorite song of them for sure. Wait, I think she is doing that high vocal on the chorus. Kind of like an echo.

 

[JohnW63]

I liked her songs on the Tusk album as much as any of her others.

 

[DrumBob]

I was stunned to hear about her death. I always had a thing for Christine; beautiful, talented, sultry, smoky voice, and nobody looked better in a shag haircut (with the exception of Jane Fonda). RIP. Very sad. She was one of those rare women who got better looking as she aged. That's quite a feat.

 

[Opsimath]

What a talent. What a loss. Thankful she shared her gifts with us.

May she rest in peace.

I liked her songs on the Tusk album as much as any of her others.

I had that album on vinyl when I was 13 or so. Really liked it.
