RBH Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I thought she was always the strongest writer for that band. Had no clue she was 79 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 First time I saw Christine she was on a live BBC TV show with Chicken Shack, doing a cover of Etta James' I'd Rather Go Blind. Coincidentally, I was just listening to Chicken Shack the other night and reflecting on how good they were, and how un-British - they would have fit right in at the Fillmore or the Troubadour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Her songs were always the bright spot on their albums for me. I liked her writing, singing, and keyboard playing. RIP Christine, and thanks for the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 One of my all-time favorite bands. I saw them play a stadium concert on July 4th, 1976. Awesome!!! ? RIP Christine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I was very sad to hear of her passing. Really loved her voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyjx Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 As Long as You Follow on the Greatest Hits is my favorite song of hers, and it never got the attention most of her other songs did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Little Lies - getting that fat layered vocal harmony has been my holy grail for years. That production is 90% Christine. The secret: start with having three great singers and nine tracks set aside for overdubs. And four more for keyboard/synth layers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not for this one, as it's all keyboard-driven. Although I suspect engineer Ken Caillat deserves a lot of credit for the sound of the record. IIRC the whole band was credited for co-producing Rumours, so no doubt Lindsey had a hand in it. Wait a minute...that song wasn't on Rumours, was it?

Grem Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) My wife is a huge Steve Nicks fan. And I always told her that Christine sounded better. We saw FleetwoodMac in NOLA and had third row seats off to the left of the band. Right in front of Christine!! On a side not Mike Campbell replaced Lindsey by this time and man did he do an excellent job. I could understand why Stevie wanted to be in The Heartbreakers. RIP girl.
