Default the same "say you love me"

No, by all indications everyone is talking about the same "Say You Love Me" song. Was it a possible collaboration without public or official credit given to Eikhard? Is ot possible that Fleetwood Mac felt the guitar changes/additions they made gave them the right to leave Eikhard out of the credits? Below are some quotes from Eikhard related articles on the web, read them here or visit the sites for yourselves. Does anyone know the answer on this one?

This week in 1976, Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled album hit number 1 after being on the charts for over a year. Songs such as Over My Head and Rhiannon helped the album reach the 5 million mark in sales in the U.S. alone. And after group members heard a cover of Say You Love Me by Canadian artist, Shirley Eikhard, the band added a splash of guitar to their own version and released it as a single. It would go on to be the best charting song from the album.

By the mid-70's she was scooped up by Attic Records and she had her first legitimate solo hit with "Say You Love Me" in 1976. The same year, Fleetwood Mac would also send the song to the top of the charts with their 'Fleetwood Mac' album.

So if Eikhard's recently released ninth studio album -- and her second collection of jazz -- gets a little bit more attention because of that, good for her.

Don't forget that this respected singer-songwriter has done better penning tunes for other acts, like Fleetwood Mac (Say You Love Me) and Bonnie Raitt (the Grammy-winning Something To Talk About, while failing to really strike gold on her own.
