Bio.Beat: Fleetwood Mac
Premieres 14 March 2011, Monday @ 9pm
Fleetwood Mac is a remarkable testament to rock and roll survival. Forty years, some 16 different band members, and several divorces and group break-ups later, this Anglo-American group endures as one of the world’s most popular groups, selling more than 100 million albums to date.
Born out of the English blues movement pioneered by John Mayall in the mid-Sixties, Fleetwood Mac found its artistic niche in soft rock driven by haunting lyrics and female vocals. Two individuals, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, remained constant fixtures in the group, overseeing the thread of hits in the late 60s and early 70s.
McVie’s wife and later ex-wife, Christine McVie, rounded out the sound and began the transition to softer rock. With the arrival of American vocal duo Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in the mid-70s, Fleetwood Mac had its signature sound.
