This gave the song a whole new feel and might be one reason why the song crept into the high 30s in the UK chart. Secondly, while being a blues song, they added some orchestral strings. It was interesting because firstly it included Christine Perfect on piano, who was not yet a member of the band. It was first recorded by Bluesman Little Willie John in 1955. Released in 1968, it was interesting for a couple of reasons. It was this song that got them on the radio and announced their arrival to the masses. It is a moody song with a typically understated blues solo from the man. Santana, of course, had a big hit with it. Written by Peter Green, it was first released in 1969 and has been included in plenty of compilations.

Black Magic Woman – The Best of Fleetwood Mac Over in Windsor Castle, there were complaints from the ‘locals.’ We could hardly hear it, but this track stood out. The police had made some arrests because of the noise and insisted the volume was turned down. Let’s go back to the Windsor Jazz festival. And where better to start than the beginning. Let’s just look at what, in my opinion, is the best of the best. Rumours became one of the biggest selling albums of all time.īut, true to ‘Mac’ form, they tried very hard to destroy themselves and pull it all apart with internal problems. The brilliant Lindsey Buckingham, the strange but iconic Stevie Nicks. American Bob Welch joined instead, and the accidental American link was formed. He joined the ‘Children of God’ religious cult. He was gone two years before he finally resurfaced. Jeremy Spencer said he was just going out. On a tour in America, they lost another member. Except there was no deity there, he was digging holes. You felt like kneeling before it in worship. The ‘Greenie’ Les Paul was before my eyes. I had the privilege of just touching it once before Gary Moore bought it. A disheveled figure, I hardly recognized him. I saw him years later in a guitar shop in Westcliff, Essex. He walked out, gave away what money hadn’t been siphoned off, and went to work as a gravedigger on Canvey Island in Essex. He had had quite enough of the music business and its LSD-laced furor. Peter Green, the most influential member, blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter, just cracked. They were on the verge of signing with the Beatles’ Apple Corp. The wheels were starting to come off internally with the band. The link between America and American musicians was an accident. And the band has also seen a few incarnations. Luckily, you can say Fleetwood Mac has seen a few years. However, to be able to pick the best Fleetwood Mac songs, the band had to be around for a while. Danny Kirwan came later in 1968, I think.
That lineup was then Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer, and John McVie. The next time I saw them, they were all together, minus Christine, who hadn’t yet married John and joined the band. The original band was all together, but not playing together that day. John McVie was still with John Mayall, who was on a couple of acts before. Christine Perfect was with Chicken Shack, who were on before Fleetwood Mac. Mick Fleetwood had been with John Mayall with Greenie and formed the band with him. So, we stayed in Windsor to watch after Floyd pulled out. Many of us knew ‘Greenie’ from his John Mayall days.
