Spencer Davis & Christine

[macfan 57]

Here's an article about Spencer Davis who went out with Chris back in her college days. He's just released a new album & is writing his autobiography. Chris is mentioned a few times in this article.

Thanks for posting this - very interesting

"I remember I was there with Christine McVie at the recording session of The Girl Is Mine with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson for Michael's Off The Wall album"

At first I thought that meant Christine took part in the recording sessions but I dont think it does.

"I used to play with Christine Perfect - who went on to become Christine McVie" - that could easily be misconstrued :xoxo: As Christine has said their relationship was more musical than illicit I take it he meant play music with her :lol:

Ah, the ambiguities of language!

weird, i wonder if the two of them were just hanging out during the recording of "the girl is mine" or what?

It is a little strange, I guess. I knew she had met McCartney in the studio back in the 1980's. He knew her as Christine Perfect. I'd never heard that Michael Jackson was involved & that it was the recording of "The Girl Is Mine".

Maybe Mr. Davis & McCartney are friends.

I thought "the girl is mine" was from 1982 or 1983....off the wall was around 79 or 80 so there may be a little mix up in time line there or confusion in album the song was on.

"The Girl Is Mine" was from 1982. It was on Thriller.

I still think it's weird to associate Christine with Michael Jackson in any way. I just don't see the two ever inhabiting the same room. Apparently, I am wrong!

Chris & Mick were presenters on the 1993 American Music Awards show. Michael Jackson was the winner of the category that they presented. Chris & Jackson even kissed after she gave him his award.:eek:

Well, there were other connections. Lindsey Buckingham being part of USA For Africa comes to mind.

But the more interesting example is that Dave Mason (who'd been a roadie for the Spencer Davis Group) had Michael Jackson sing on one of his songs on his "Old Crest On A New Wave" album. That song, ironically, was called "Save Me."
