Christine Perfect

Christine Anne McVie (née Perfect; 12 July 1943 – 30 November 2022) was an English musician and singer. She was the keyboardist and one of the vocalists and songwriters of Fleetwood Mac. 
McVie was a member of several bands, notably Chicken Shack, in the mid-1960s British Blues scene. She initially began working with Fleetwood Mac as a session player in 1968, before officially joining the band two years later. Her first compositions with Fleetwood Mac appeared on their fifth album, Future Games. She remained with the band through many changes of line-up, writing songs and performing lead vocals before partially retiring in 1998.
McVie was described as "the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits" and eight songs she wrote or co-wrote, including "Don't Stop", "Everywhere" and "Little Lies", appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album. She appeared as a session musician on the band's last studio album, Say You Will. McVie also released three solo studio albums and recorded a duet album with Lindsey Buckingham.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played many of Chicken Shack and Fleetwood Mac's songs on his radio programmes which Christine Perfect was a member of. He also had her do a session for his show in 1969., where she performed four tracks. At the Melody Maker Pop Star Awards in 1969, Peel is seen giving the "top girl singer" award to Christine Perfect, which was broadcast on the British Pathe: Pop Star Awards.
In an interview with the Melody Maker, published on 28th March 1970, Christine Perfect, complained that the Blue Horizon label releases aren't heard on radio: "Duster Bennett, for example, is very big in America, but how many record plays does he get over here? Except those by John Peel..."
