Very sad to hear about her passing. Buckingham and Nicks usually got more attention, but Christine was always Fleetwood Mac's secret weapon. It's no exaggeration to say that "Little Lies" may be the song I've gotten stuck in my head more than any other in my life. She had a gift for delivering perfect hooks. It's also worth noting that she had her signature double-tracked vocal style down long before Buckingham and Nicks joined the band.
