Monday Music "Got a Hold On Me" By Christine McVie

 Just an observation in Real life events..Apparently the Pope is a good communist now"

   Yes I'm horrible, but the latest Pope to me was an embarrassment to the ones that came before him. I was raised Catholic and still have a lot of respect for the institution during the fight against Communism.

I always liked Ms McVie's music, she counterbalanced Stevie Nicks, with a softer more mellow sound in Fleetwood Mac

, it is a very good song and it was briefly my favorite song until I heard Don Henley "The Boys of Summer".  which to this day is still my favorite.

Christine McVie is the second solo album by the British Fleetwood Mac vocalist / keyboardist Christine McVie, released in 1984.
It was McVie's first solo recording since her 1970 self-titled release (under her maiden name). It features two U.S. top-40 hit singles, "Got a Hold on Me" (US#10) and "Love Will Show Us How" (US#30). The album itself also achieved modest success in the United States, peaking at #26 and spending 23 weeks on the Billboard 200.In the UK, the album entered at #58 on chart.
The band on this album includes Christine McVie (keyboards, percussion and vocals), Todd Sharp (guitar and backing vocals), George Hawkins (bass and backing vocals), and Steve Ferrone (drums and percussion).


Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham sings backing vocals on tracks 2, 7 & 10, plays guitar on tracks 3 and 6, and plays lead guitar on track 10. Mick Fleetwood plays drums on track 5. Eric Clapton plays lead guitar on "The Challenge," and Steve Winwood shares lead vocals on "One in a Million" and contributes backing vocals and piano to "Ask Anybody," as well as playing synthesizer on several tracks.

Music Video

I tried to link the video at work and was unable to, so I am trying to do a "work around"


The video for the song was produced and directed by Jon Roseman and premiered in February 1984. Shot in both black-and-white and color, it is a pseudo-performance video showing Christine McVie in a mansion-like room singing at her piano while a backup band appears in silhouette shadows on the walls around her.
