Good point, I remember driving along in my car and this song would come on my audio tape (1970's) - interminable noise that doesn't go with the other songs at all. If they left all the instrumental noise out it might have been a decent song. Lyrics are good, musical rendition: meh.
Agreed - a rendition of a song that stinks to high heaven, performed by an altogether different group, has NO place in this thread. I had the Rumours album for many years and completely forgot this was on it....nothing but wasted space.
I too have the Rumours album on vinyl. I also still own Tusk and Mirage, as well. I do love my vinyl
A great distinct husky voice was Christine's. Glad to know her "Everywhere" became a hit again recently from being used in a car commercial. Hoping she was aware of that. Insanely infectious, though much credit given to the "Buckingham Sound".

McVie did her best singing in Everywhere. It's not just the singing, but the musical arrangements that make a song catchy and memorable, especially the songs they did in the early 80's. Hold Me is another good example of a top notch song featuring Christine McVie.
I have to admit that Gypsy is my favorite from Fleetwood Mac, the song has a hypnotic/mesmerizing effect on me, because lighting strikes, maybe once, maybe twice. I always liked Lindsey Buckingham's solo song Trouble, Fleetwood Mac was full of talent and their music connects with so many.
RIP Christine McVie, Yesterday's gone, but don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow.
The Chain featured Stevie Nicks' voice, not Christine McVie's.

When I think of The Chain, I think of Stevie Nicks' voice, not Christine McVie's voice.
Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks share writing credits for "The Chain." "The Chain" was the name of a Stevie Nicks composition that had different lyrics for the verses. The chorus was retained. Christine McVie had a composition, "Keep Me There," that included the outro of "The Chain." "Keep me there" could be heard in the background of "I can still hear you saying you will never break the chain." John McVie's bass solo fills the transition from the chorus to the outro.
