Christine McVie

Christine McVie (born Christine Perfect, July 12, 1943) is a keyboardist, singer, and songwriter. Her greatest fame came as a member of the band Fleetwood Mac. Born Christine Perfect (she has kept her married name in spite of her longtime divorce from John McVie because she couldn't stand having a last name like Perfect), McVie was addicted to rock and roll from the first time she looked through a Fats Domino songbook.

Christine McVie studied Sculpture at art college in Birmingham, UK, with the initial aim of becoming an art teacher. During that time she met a number of budding musicians on England's blooming blues scene. Eventually giving up her teaching aspirations and pursuing music in her spare time, she moved to London, where she worked briefly as a window-dresser. In 1969, McVie joined the group Chicken Shack, a very cut-rate group which seemed to have little chance of success. A year later she announced her plans to retire and become a housewife, oddly enough, just when the group managed to score a hit in "I'd Rather Go Blind". She also nabbed a Melody Makers award for female vocalist of the year, and lauded for having one of the "top 10 pairs of legs in all of Britain".
