Loved this reaction vid. Slight correction, though: To most longtime Fleetwood Mac fans (and I believe to most critics and those in the industry as well) Christine and Stevie were considered the Co-Lead Singers. Together they carried the majority of the vocal weight of Fleetwood Mac.
She was the lead singer. The band had three. Keep diving, because her list of singles from the band, and songs like Songbird that aren’t singles, are all sublime.
Until I heard Songbird I was okay now I can't stop crying. Missing her so much already. Xoxox Love you always Christine .. Heaven gained a songbird through eternity .
She was the Lead Singer on many songs. She had the final say in Buckingham and Nicks joining the band. Fleetwood Mac was around 10 years before they ever joined. Over My Head, You make Loving Fun, and many others were her writing and singing.
Thank you Jamal for playing this song in particular in tribute to Christine. The first time that I saw Fleetwood Mac back in 1980, they closed out the concert with this song. Though it was such a soft song, it was extremely powerful. From that moment on, it became my favorite Fleetwood Mac song and a song I would always associate with Christine McVie. Such a beautiful song and such a beautiful voice. Rest in Peace Christine. You will be missed.
I’m so thankful I heard her close out the night with this song. I used to cry because if it’s beauty, now I’ll cry because we lost our song bird ❤! So beautiful!
Fleetwood Mac was 4 groups in one. Buckingham had his style when he sang lead, Nicks had her style and McVie had hers. And when they all sang a song together, it was yet another style of sound. All of her songs in Fleetwood Mac were all uplifting songs, which gave Fleetwood Mac a nice balance. McVie, Buckingham and Nicks were all asked to be in the group by Mick Fleetwood.
This has been a truly heartbreaking week losing Irene Cara and then the legendary Christine McVie within days , hard to process , but as they say, God don’t make mistakes . Truly thankful for Christine McVie for sharing her great gifts to the world , your musical legacy will last for eternity , rest in love. Praying for her family and her Fleetwood Mac family..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She was the one that said that Fleetwood Mac was greater than the sum of it's parts. Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine all put their unique song styles on each album. And it just worked like no other group made it work. She was a true artist in every Sunday of the word. Rest in Peace Christine😇❤️🎶
FM had 3, not 1or 2, songwriters, each with their own style. Christine more than held up her end, and her keyboard and voice, singing lead or backup, was always a perfect fit.
Fleetwood Mac closed all of their shows with this song. I used to sing at a piano bar and we always closed out the night singing this song. When a dear friend passed away, a bunch of us did a karaoke benefit for his family and I closed my set with this song. One of my all-time favorites. RIP
RIP Christine...ALWAYS loved her songs more than Stevie NIcks' or Lindsey Buckingham's...she and Stevie harmonizing was beyond heavenly. Christine was elegantly sexy too...perfect song to say goodbye to her
@@michaelasay8587 YES!!! nicks can’t play any instrument (except the tambourine) and has always relied on others to put her poems to music, but people don’t realize that. Christine has such a soulful, soaring, pitch-perfect voice. She writes the entire song, and can play various instruments. Sadly, Nicks can only sing about 4 different notes. Christine is the heart, soul and sound of Fleetwood Mac. When she quit the band the first time, FMacs hits dried up. Interesting right?
Christine McVie was so underrated and underappreciated. She wrote many of the songs for Fleetwood Mac, and actually wrote and sang lead vocals on 15 of their songs. Thanks for the tribute for her, Jamel! Great reaction! Rest In Peace, Christine. 💙✌
Thanks Jamel for playing this song! I'm sure she can feel the love from everybody, she's probably saying Thank You! She was the lead singer before Stevie and Lindsey joined the band!
You owe it to yourself to listen to Fleetwood Mac music back to 1971 to thoroughly enjoy Christine's talents. Some songs never released are unbelievable. We lost something special today. RIP Christine. RIP Fleetwood Mac... the chain is now broken.
Everyone was chillin during it because Songbird closed out side one of Rumors...the biggest selling album of all time before Thriller came out....everyone remembers the calm after the storm of Go your own Way just finished playing...huge moment...Chris always closed out Fleetwood Mac concerts with just her and a grand piano doing songbird 💖
I'm sorry, but this is not entirely correct. The original on Rumours had Lindsey playing guitar on it also. There's some old tour recordings of Lindsey and John playing on it also. Eventually live it became just Christine on piano. 'You Make Loving Fun' was the song written for the lighting director. 'Songbird' came to her when she could not sleep one night. There were at least 10 takes of the song done for Rumours, as evidenced by disc 3 of the Deluxe issue of Rumours - that said, it's likely they chose a complete through take.
@@alextirrellRI yes, I have the Deluxe issue. What I meant was there was no interruption in the track. I believe it was done on a stage as well, but forget those details for sure. You are correct about You Make Loving Fun, thank you.
@@alextirrellRI my understanding was the album version was recorded at USC away from the studio, with just Chrissie and a concert grand and three mics.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Jamel for reacting to this priceless track from Christine! It truly shows what a beautiful and talented "Songbird" she was! Love your reactions, keep em coming!
Everyone waited for her too sing this song at their concert. It was a must song and it was a popular funeral song over in the UK. RIP Christine. They were all songwriters so they would do 2 or 3 each on every album so they could all be heard. And that was her nickname..songbird
This was the song usually ended the concert. Seemingly under appreciated, yet many of her songs became hits. Also, there is a great album with Lindsey Buckingham, the guitar player and Christine done in 2017 that is well worth a listen. They compose, play, sing, and they duo tour with a band a la Hall and Oates. Totally worth a listen.
When I hear her voice, I always think that Christine was well named originally, before she married John and took on "McVie". Her birth name was "Christine Perfect". R.I.P. the writer of some of the most beautiful songs in modern music.
In a BBC interview, she said the song came to her in a dream. That she got out of bed and went straight to the piano and played the entire song lyrics and all. What a talent. RIP Christine McVie
This has really hit me hard. I knew Chris when she was in Chicken Shack and I was playing in another local band. Everyone knew each other. We shared the same transport to a gig once, crammed into an old Ford Transit. She was the nicest person you could ever wish to meet.
She was one of the lead singers of the Rumours era. There was no lead singer in this line up. They split songwriting and vocals between them. Stevie said in past interviews that Christine never wanted to be out front. She didn’t dance around the stage like Lindsey and Stevie. That said she had more hits than the others. She wrote love songs and toe-tapping pop. Watching the World Series, her song “Everywhere” was everywhere. I think it was the latest jingle for one of the big car companies. Inevitably, there will be griping that she was undervalued compared to Stevie. The $$$ don’t show this, nor do the words. Stevie was happy to spin around the stage. Christine was happy to sing and play keyboards. They were very close friends. Together, Chris, Stevie and Lindsey were top in 3-part harmony.
Jamel, I so greatly appreciate your understanding of how much a song like this means to we "old timers". That kind of empathy is greatly needed in today's world.
Fleetwood Mac has 3 lead singers. Christine, Stevie and Lindsey. The band often closed concerts out with Christine singing "Songbird", which had become her nickname and Mick Fleetwood (a co-creator of the band) coming to escort her off the stage. Also, she was the longest tenured vocalist of Fleetwood Mac. Stevie and Lindsey arrived after Christine and kept leaving for solo projects and returning.
Christine, Stevie and Lindsay shared the vocals..... They all had incredible talent. I'm 57 and grew up my childhood and early teen yrs in Southern California.. Back then it was Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles that reigned Supreme... What hits me most is that she was 79 yrs old. Stevie is 74 and Lindsay 73...wow it really brings about ones own mortality... All my idols are passing away , but will remain forever young in their music.... RIP Christine
I just realized that all my fave Fleetwood Mac songs are those of Christine Perfect McVie. She was beyond humble and immensely talented. 🕊️🌹RIP SONGBIRD🌹🕊️
So very sad to hear about Christine McVie's passing yesterday. What an incredible singer/songwriter/musician. Thank you for all the decades of beautiful music. RIP, you will be greatly missed.
I wouldn’t say she wasn’t the lead singer. They basically sang the songs they wrote whether it was Stevie Christine or Lindsey. It’s like saying who is the lead singer of the Beatles. Some of their biggest hits have a Christine on lead vocals
Have you ever stood on a beach with your feet in the soft sand, anticipating the crash of a powerful wave? The roar reaches you first, way before the turbulence. Foaming, hissing salt water tries to push you over but you resist and stand strong. That is when we feel most powerful. But the ocean waits for no one, it goes home when it wants. So, we struggle to stay. Christine too, had come as a roar, she crashed all around us. So, now she is going home and her pull on us, is making us unsteady, like never before. ❤
Thank you for doing this! Fleetwood Mac was one of my favorite groups when growing up in the 70s! Her passing was devastating to me. When I listened to your reaction video, I literally started to cry. R.I P. Christe. 🙏❤️
Christine's art makes me feel like I am between melancholy and hope.. The whole group brought something special to the ensemble. bass, drums, keys, strings and vocals. I grew up with Fleetwood Mac churning out hits. Because of Christine's passing, I've been revisiting their music in the last few days. I may listen to "Everywhere" again tonight. I have more tears to shed. love
❤❤❤RIP..our Beautiful Songbird Christine...and thank you for shareing all your wonderful melody"s of comfort and happiness...the world will always think of you every time we hear them play...now go and fly to where only Angels sing..
This song is on the Rumors album. The band recorded the album in Sausalito Ca., Marin County but when it came for Christine to record this song she oped to get away from the band and business and went across the bay to Berkeley and set up recording gear with producers in a performing arts theatre in the U.C. campus, just her and the piano. I didn't know until years later this was the story and the reason it personally hits me is because this beautiful song was recorded just blocks from my home growing up. RIP to a classy lady and incredible angelic talent.
Prolific rock n roll legend, and the most elegant of rock stars. The Mac had so many singles and what half were Christine? One of the queens of rock n roll. Total class. RIP Christine.
Thank you so much for playing this song and trubute to Christine. She was such a beautiful voice and so talented. I cried the first time I heard her sing this song in the 70's. I'm crying right now again. RIP Christine. I know you're in heaven singing with the angels. We will miss your your voice. 😢😢🙏🙏💕💕
To think this was a live performance and it sounded like it was done in the studio. Christine wrote this song; she had amazingly beautiful voice. Thank you for the music, Christine!
Thanks for posting this song today. Her solo albums vary in pace and have an 80s sound to them. This is a solo performance during a Fleetwood Mac concert.
Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands. Christine's voice is part of my DNA since I was 4 years old. I've been bawling since yesterday. She is a legend and beautiful inside and out. RIP Christine the Sondbird ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SO much Jamel!!! I hadn't seen this version before. I was watching you live earlier, I *hope* it doesn't get blocked or chopped. Thanks again for this lovely tribute
Watching from the UK… I think it’s fair to say Christine McVie is very understated, from what I’ve read she never really cared much about the fame, it was always about the music, she’s very English in a classic sense of the term.
Christine's voice always moved me in a deeper more profound way than any of the other voices in Fleetwood Mac. They were all Great but there was always something So beautiful and True about Christine. May God bless you and love you as you pass over.
Christine McVie was the heart of Fleetwood Mac 💓 That was off their Rumors album that came out in 1975 ! I've been a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac's since I was 12 I'm now 61 😢
I had the privilege of seeing FM in Portland when this song was released in the 70's...and it was the absolute highlight of the concert. I can remember seeing the entire band standing nearby offstage watching her do"Songbird" add the finale... and it wad spellbinding...RIP Christine....
In the early years of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks's vocal register was an octave higher. Her soprano and Christine's alto complemented each other. Then suddenly Stevie's voice dropped an octave, and they were both altos. It changed the sound of the band.

RIP Sweet Christine😣
Jamel/Jamal I need you to do a review on Barbara Streisand's album Songbird. You can start with the title song, Songbird.
Loved this reaction vid. Slight correction, though: To most longtime Fleetwood Mac fans (and I believe to most critics and those in the industry as well) Christine and Stevie were considered the Co-Lead Singers. Together they carried the majority of the vocal weight of Fleetwood Mac.
Love her but her voice was showing her age in this version. Or maybe a bad night. Still great but better versions are out there
Said it once, said it a hundred times. Stevie Nicks may have gotten all the press, but Christine McVie was the soul of Fleetwood Mac.
not wrong
I like compare her to George Harrison of the Beatles, very talented but stayed in the background.
Truth....
Christine was the harmony. She kept it all together. R.I.P. Songbird!
She was pretty much there since the groups beginning
Thank you Christine. The world is a better place because of your life and music. RIP, Songbird.
Her father was a classical musician, but she chose to play with blues bands. Her chops are legit.
She was the lead singer. The band had three. Keep diving, because her list of singles from the band, and songs like Songbird that aren’t singles, are all sublime.
I just learned today she wrote half the songs on their Greatest Hits album. I never realized she wrote almost all the great songs by them.
She was there way before Buckingham & Nicks joined the band.
So many people have been lost lately, but this one really hits.
Until I heard Songbird I was okay now I can't stop crying. Missing her so much already. Xoxox Love you always Christine .. Heaven gained a songbird through eternity .
@@shapeach This, on top of losing my best friend that turned me on to FM 52 years ago, on Sunday morning. Life is getting pretty painful
Chris was the hit maker of the band...Lindsey may have produced things and arranged, but Christine was the best writer of the bunch...RIP 💖
She was the Lead Singer on many songs. She had the final say in Buckingham and Nicks joining the band. Fleetwood Mac was around 10 years before they ever joined. Over My Head, You make Loving Fun, and many others were her writing and singing.
Very true! It’s funny how many people dont realize that Fleetwood Mac was awesome even before Stevie and Lindsay came along.
Thank you Jamal for playing this song in particular in tribute to Christine. The first time that I saw Fleetwood Mac back in 1980, they closed out the concert with this song. Though it was such a soft song, it was extremely powerful. From that moment on, it became my favorite Fleetwood Mac song and a song I would always associate with Christine McVie.

I’m so thankful I heard her close out the night with this song. I used to cry because if it’s beauty, now I’ll cry because we lost our song bird ❤! So beautiful!
The news of her passing hit me like a truck! I immediately picked up my guitar and played this song for her. R.I.P. to a great musician!

We lost a great artist today. Rest in peace Christine McVie. We chose this song as our wedding song. Such beautiful lyrics and so melodic. Love her.
Can anyone believe this is live - what a voice! - seriously WHAT A VOICE and what a song!
She's now singing for the angels above with her angelic voice!.. Fly on little Song Bird you'll surely be missed.. RIP Chris!
My absolute favorite Christine McVie song. Love it!
Well actually, she was a lead singer. This line up of Fleetwood Mac had 3 lead singers.
This wasn’t a solo project this is how Fleetwood Mac closed out their shows on this tour. She will be missed.
Fleetwood Mac closed all of their shows with this song. I used to sing at a piano bar and we always closed out the night singing this song. When a dear friend passed away, a bunch of us did a karaoke benefit for his family and I closed my set with this song. One of my all-time favorites. RIP
Mick Fleetwood & John McVie would always sit on the drum riser while Ms. Perfect would play this at the shows end too . RIP Christine
RIP Christine...ALWAYS loved her songs more than Stevie NIcks' or Lindsey Buckingham's...she and Stevie harmonizing was beyond heavenly. Christine was elegantly sexy too...perfect song to say goodbye to her
I agree although I loved Buckinghams big love but today is about Christine always remembered.
More than Stevie? What???
@@michaelasay8587 YES!!! nicks can’t play any instrument (except the tambourine) and has always relied on others to put her poems to music, but people don’t realize that.

Songbird was unique in its entirety. The only true solo in the band. It was recorded in one take. One of the most beautiful tracks ever.

This is the song that made me want to learn piano as a teen Didn't learn it till i was in my 40s Love it to death Rip Christine
One of my favorites to play on the piano.

RIP Christine! All amazing songs by you and Fleetwood Mac will live forever!❤
Yes. It already has me crying and I am not even 30 seconds into it.
Voice of an angel is with the angels now.

A voice from the heavens !!! A true sing goddess
Three incredible talents in one group! She's the George Harrison of Fleetwood Mac...
RIP Cristine, glad you had a full life before leaving this earth plane......thanks for the great music.

RIP Christie. This is my favorite Christie, what a beautiful voice
Effortless, smooth and velvety. Perfection.
One of my favorite songs. Thank you Christine and rest in peace.⚘
She had the best voice ,so beautiful , distinctively her own. RIP AND GOD BLESS.
Thank you very much for playing this song. Christine was a lead singer in her own band, Chicken feet. What a voice she had. R.I.P.
Chicken Shack.
Christine was a lead singer. She was one of three lead singers (along with Stevie and Linsday) in this version of Fleetwood Mac.
I wouldn’t say she wasn’t the lead singer. They basically sang the songs they wrote whether it was Stevie Christine or Lindsey. It’s like saying who is the lead singer of the Beatles. Some of their biggest hits have a Christine on lead vocals
This loss huuuuuurts. One of my favorite songs 💔
Mick Fleetwood was asked what song he would want played at his funeral and it was this beautiful song. I'm heartbroken.
RIP Beautiful lady ❤ I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s love Fleetwood Mac. Listen to “You Make Lovin’ Fun” next!
Her voice is pure magic
Have you ever stood on a beach with your feet in the soft sand, anticipating the crash of a powerful wave? The roar reaches you first, way before the turbulence. Foaming, hissing salt water tries to push you over but you resist and stand strong. That is when we feel most powerful. But the ocean waits for no one, it goes home when it wants. So, we struggle to stay. Christine too, had come as a roar, she crashed all around us. So, now she is going home and her pull on us, is making us unsteady, like never before. ❤
She had the voice and lyrics of an angel. All backed by beautiful piano playing. I had the good fortune to grow up listening to her. RIP …
And a great songwriter. RIP Christine.
She was grounded and humble; the perfect counterweight to Stevie's glam mysticism. They enhanced each other perfectly.
Well said, and thankyou i agree
This song just tugs at your heart. It's no wonder that Eva Cassidy covered this song and titled her album after it.
Thank you Christine the beautiful songbird that you are R.I.P
Thank you for doing this! Fleetwood Mac was one of my favorite groups when growing up in the 70s! Her passing was devastating to me. When I listened to your reaction video, I literally started to cry. R.I

"Songbird" was on Rumours - they legit had 3 lead singers
Goodnight, Songbird. Thank you for sharing your incredible musical talent with us over the years. RIP.
Thank you so much for playing this song and trubute to Christine. She was such a beautiful voice and so talented. I cried the first time I heard her sing this song in the 70's. I'm crying right now again. RIP Christine. I know you're in heaven singing with the angels. We will miss your your voice. 😢😢🙏🙏💕💕
I sang this to my kids as a lullaby. Her passing is hitting me hard
A kind soul and greatly missed...already.

RIP Christine, thank you for giving us so much beautiful music and memories.
Thank you SO much Jamel!!! I hadn't seen this version before. I was watching you live earlier, I *hope* it doesn't get blocked or chopped. Thanks again for this lovely tribute
Always liked her...the voice, stage presence, emotions, etc. she was amazing.
Her voice is smoother than butter, sweeter than honey.Hard to believe I was musically introduced to her almost 50 yrs ago. SWEETNESS. :)😀
Watching from the UK… I think it’s fair to say Christine McVie is very understated, from what I’ve read she never really cared much about the fame, it was always about the music, she’s very English in a classic sense of the term.
I love this one song so much 🎉🎉🎉RIP Christie 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻❤️🙏😇
IVE SAID IT BEFORE AND ILL SAY IT AGAIN SHE IS THE BEST FLEETWOOD MAC HAD TO OFFER
Christine's voice always moved me in a deeper more profound way than any of the other voices in Fleetwood Mac. They were all Great but there was always something So beautiful and True about Christine. May God bless you and love you as you pass over.
One of the absolute Greatest...R.I.P Christine...miss her so much already
Fly away songbird...you will be missed.
Respect for covering this song. You nailed it: this song takes on a whole different vibe now that she’s gone. R.I.P. sweet Songbird. 🕊️🎹😢
Thank you for celebrating Christine's music!
Christine McVie was the heart of Fleetwood Mac 💓 That was off their Rumors album that came out in 1975 ! I've been a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac's since I was 12 I'm now 61 😢
RIP Christine. Thank you for this beautiful song.
This song will tear your heart out. Gorgeous.
I had the privilege of seeing FM in Portland when this song was released in the 70's...and it was the absolute highlight of the concert. I can remember seeing the entire band standing nearby offstage watching her do"Songbird" add the finale... and it wad spellbinding...RIP Christine....
Love You songbird. Rip. Christine McVie. So Very much loved. They didn't even Know THAT WERE THE SOOTHING VOICE. RIP.
In the early years of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks's vocal register was an octave higher. Her soprano and Christine's alto complemented each other. Then suddenly Stevie's voice dropped an octave, and they were both altos. It changed the sound of the band.
