Still in good voice at 83. Dion will always be cool. Here he is at the start, with The Belmonts and his first chart single from 1957. Still maybe my favorite by him, although I could name 12-15 I love. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAPEfdjvTqE All that wop, wop, wop stuff was mildly offensive, but I won't hold it against them.  |

Yeah, I wondered about that myself a few times. But all four of them were Italians in good standing, so I guess they were allowed to go there. |

Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac has died at the age of 79. She always seemed like the adult in the room with that group. Their first Top 40 US hit was one she wrote and sang lead on, "Over My Head," in 1975. Others she wrote included "Hold Me" and "Say You Love Me." I much preferred her sultry voice to the more melodramatic Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Mac had to be one of the four or five most ubiquitous groups of the mid-to-late-70s. She won the surname lottery at birth as Christine Perfect, but changed it when she married John McVie. I'll never figure that one out.
She was a good one. RIP Christine McVie.

"Songbird" was another classic McVie song. She was great. Loved that voice, too. |

I love Fleetwood Mac.
Little Lies was one of my favorite McVie tunes.

Not counting the original Peter Green version of the group, and in no particular order, I'm going to say "Go Your Own Way," (probably my favorite), "Never Going Back Again," "Over My Head," "The Chain" and "You Make Loving Fun." Ask me in a week and it might be different. I even liked "Tusk." How about you? Anyone else? |

Dreams, The Chain, Rhiannon, Don't Stop, and Tusk.
I liked Hypnotized from the original version of the group too.

I'm impressed that you know about the bluesy version of the group. Talented, but very different. And not nearly as commercially lucrative. |

"Oh Well" usually gets considered by critics to be the Peter Green piece de resistance, although it's not one of my favorites. Green did the original "Black Magic Woman" in 1968, two years before Santana turned it into a billion-seller. "Albatross" is a dreamlike instrumental that got some airplay. "Closing My Eyes" is another good one. They were a fairly prolific group, so there's lots to choose from. |

I still do that to this day. Some eight-year-old kid habits die hard. |

Thanks for providing directions from the RIP thread, Pipps. Gladdened by the recognition for Christine McVie. I concur about her voice in comparison to Stevie Nicks. It's what I meant when I referred to McVie's voice as "clean." Unfettered of pretension or contrived effect. When she sings "Over My Head" the lament is in the the words, not the voice, which is naturally sunny in disposition. The juxtaposition provides the contrasting tension but not in such a way that would drown into a dirge. |
