GREAT SONGS OVER 50 YEARS
The group’s history defies the
odds. There’s been several line-up changes; shifts in musical directions and
internal relations that rival those in soap operas. Throughout it all, 2
members have remained its core: Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
The latter 2 founded Fleetwood
Mac with fellow former member of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Peter Green, in
1967. That same year, Jeremy Spencer joined the fledgling group’s line-up.
In 1968, Fleetwood Mac released
its debut album. That same year, the group issued 2 new singles: “Black Magic
Woman” and the UK #1 “Albatross”. By now, Danny Kirwan was in the line-up.
Fleetwood Mac released a series of singles and early albums.
By 1971’s ‘Future
Games’, Green and Spencer had been replaced by latest recruits Christine McVie
(John’s wife) and Bob Welch.
