Before she joined Fleetwood Mac, then Christine Perfect (later McVie) she was a member of Chicken Shack, an earlier British blues band, founded by Stan Webb.  Prior to that, Stan Webb had a band called Sounds of Blue and she would sing with a very young Spenser Davis.

Chicken Shack toured with the early Fleetwood Mac and eventually she and John Mcvie married and she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970 and recorded on their Future Games album.

Here is one of her best songs with Chicken Shack:
