Default Curry Grant

So i'd like to know more about her relationship with Curry Grant.
First, i have no idea what he looks like. I know that Carol Ann states several times in "Storms" that he was very handsome. Do we have any pictures??

Also, how long did they stay together? Did he continue to work with the band when they broke up? Was it as happy a relationship as she described it in "You make loving fun"? Was he really her first boyfriend after John?

Thank you in advance .

Pictures I've seen he definitely wasn't bad looking. Someone here must have a photo they can post.


He was by all accounts I've ever read pretty much a total player who slept with pretty much any/all the women in the Fleetwood Mac universe. Definitely not someone you'd plan a future around. It's been said he also had an affair somewhere along the way with Stevie. Ah, the 70s!

Thanks! So Stevie slept with absolutely every man in her entourage?

Well, Lindsey's ex girlfriend Carol Ann Harris writes about him a bit in her memoir. I haven't read it in quite a long time, but I seem to recall her commenting on his player ways and how he hit on her as well but Lindsey was pretty formidable in keeping guys away from her. (Not to mention he was a member of the band and thus could get someone fired from the band's entourage if they crossed him). So Carol claims Curry didn't succeed with her.

The only place where I know I have a picture of Curry is from that interview Christine did when she's talking about her dog running away and how she was upset at the time. Curry was sitting next to her.

There were some lighting magazine articles. I think Curry worked with them on The Dance tour and SYW tour, but I don't know if he was pictured.

CAH says Curry was spending long nights "visiting" Stevie. She says that Curry was introduced to her by Lindsey as a heartbreaker and her reaction:

"I could see what he meant. If I hadn't been hand-held and spellbound by Lindsey's breath on my neck, I may have succumbed. But he was a tad obvious, despite his chestnut curls and marron-glace eyes. Not for me."

Lindsey said that Curry was Christine's "for now." Carol assured Lindsey that she had no interest in Curry.

Carol "looked into his eyes. Mist blue did it for me, every time, over sickly nut brown. My glance told him I was not really impressed with the opposition."

Later when Curry put his arms around CAH, CAH says that Julie told him not to do that. Julie said Lindsey wouldn't be pleased if he saw that and Curry dropped his arm. Then, Julie convinced her to take a "blow" of cocaine for the first time. She only obliged because she didn't want to look stupid in front of Curry and Julie . [So sick of her making it seem like it was all somebody else's fault].

The last time CAH mentions Curry is at a concert, when Christine dedicated Songbird to him. Ouch, that had to hurt John.

here's a picture of Curry from Stevie's Rock A Little tour book: I had to make the file smaller due to the limits of this site. : (

There's a polaroid of him in the 1989 Nicks tourbook.

Stevie dedicated "Landslide" to Curry at the 1980 Bowl show on the first night. She was sleeping with him at that point, I do believe.
