History of Christine McVie
Christine
McVie was born on July 12, 1943, in Lancashire, England. She was given the name
Christine Anne Perfect. As far as her career goes, she was born and raised in a
musical family. Her grandfather was an organist and her father was a violin
teacher at Westminster Abbey. She knew what would be her profession for the
rest of her life. So she started taking music seriously at the age of 11 and
studied hard and was so immersed in Britain’s burgeoning blues scene. She
started her own band (Chicken Shack) with a group of former bandmates, Andy
Silvester and Stan Webb, in 1967. McVie did a great job with that band and was
awarded with the U.K. music magazine’s Melody Maker’s Best Female Vocalist
award in 1969.
