But even if some important critic were to acknowledge Christine’s pioneering work, the general public wouldn’t much care. She lacks what Stevie has: mass appeal. For me, Christine will always be the heart of FM from 1970 onward. But to most people she isn’t charismatic or outrageous enough to be a focal point, the center of stardom.

So beautifully stated. I feel the same way. One is bloated with fame and ego. The other is elegant, funny, and humble.
