Her lyrics focused on love and relationships. AllMusic described her as an "Unabashedly easy-on-the-ears singer/songwriter, and the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits."[6] Eight songs written or co-written by her, including "Don't Stop", "Everywhere" and "Little Lies", appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album.[7]
In 1998, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. The same year, after almost 30 years with the band, she opted to leave and lived in semi-retirement for nearly 15 years. She released a solo album in 2004. In September 2013 she appeared on stage with Fleetwood Mac at the O2 Arena in London, before rejoining the band in 2014 prior to their On with the Show tour.[8]
In 2006, McVie received a Gold Badge of Merit Award from Basca, now The Ivors Academy.[9] In 2014, she received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and was honoured with the Trailblazer Award at the UK Americana Awards in 2021.[10][11] She was also the recipient of two Grammy Awards.[12]

I was a fan. This song was too recent for me to know and consider for my all time 400+ list.





My favorite Fleetwood Mac album was Future Games from back in 1971. The title track by Bob Welch is high on my list. Christine wrote "Show Me a Smile" for that album. She wrote the hit "Don't Stop" from Rumors which became Bill Clinton's theme song and is on my list. "You Make Loving Fun" is on my list. She gave Fleetwood Mac a lot of class. She and her husband John until about 1976 were the Mac in Fleetwood Mac.
