Christine McVie (born Christine Anne Perfect, July 12, 1943, in Birmingham, West Midlands, England) is a British singer, keyboardist, and songwriter. Her primary fame came as a member of the band Fleetwood Mac, though she has also released three solo albums. McVie is said to have become addicted to Rock and Roll from the first time she looked through a Fats Domino songbook.

Career

---

Christine McVie studied sculpture at an art college in Birmingham, England, with the goal of becoming an art teacher. During that time she met a number of budding musicians in England's blues scene. She gave up her teaching aspirations and studied music in her spare time. She moved to London, where she worked briefly as a department store window-dresser. In 1969, Christine joined the group Chicken Shack, a blues band which had difficulty finding mainstream success. A year later, she announced her plans to retire and become a housewife — ironically just when the group scored a hit with "I'd Rather Go Blind". She was also given a Melody Maker award for female vocalist of the year, and she was lauded for having one of the "top-10 pairs of legs in all of Britain".
