So sad. I remember watching her and Fleetwood Mac perform at the UNI Dome back in the late 70's at the peak of their popularity and Christine ended the wild concert by singing Songbird to a silent crowd. It was amazing.

What a loss! If not for her great songs, I don't think the band would have been near as popular.

Here's one she supposedly wrote for Dennis Wilson.

One of the best... dang, all my favorite musicians are dying recently. This is officially when you are old.

My childhood is dying.

It's just shocking to me how all these people are that old. Same age as my parents. Never would have guessed it when I was growing up

 

[Gunnerclone]

My favorite FM songs are with her on lead vocals. Vintage crush as well. My dad spent a lot of time with FM records playing on the tables.

This makes me feel old as the Fleetwood Mac peeps are my age peers, just a few years older.

Was thinking some about how their music from the '70's still holds up so well after hearing "Everywhere" in that TV commercial recently (okay, that's an '80's song, but still).

Lost to soon. Such an incredible voice.

Ah, hell, now I am sad.

Rumours, in my opinion, is the greatest album of all time. Every track is fantastic.

Yeah, I mostly grew up to 80's music, but the 70's speak to me now.

She was babe-alicious back in my high testosterone days. I think I had most of Fleetwood's LP's.

One of the best. Wrote some of my favorite FM songs. "Little Lies," "Say you love me..." RIP goddess.

Stevie Nicks was my thing

Seeing this on commercials all over now. It's a sign

I sang Songbird in a wedding years ago. Great tune.

Also, I think it's awesome another generation is finding them...the Everywhere commercial...the video that went viral last year to Dreams.
