Good for Christine!:thumbsup: She's in awfully good company with the others on that list. I wonder if she attended the awards ceremony to pick up her awards certificate.

Thanks for posting.:)

If not, they'll mail it to her anyway.

Thanks for posting this.

She got an award last year from the BMI.

Maybe she didn't feel like going again

Gail

You are both very welcome! Both of you and maybe one more person are the only ones interested in Christine it seems, besides me. Won't you please let me send you the link to the hip hop version of Oh Daddy???

There's A Hip Hop Version Of Oh, Daddy????

Congratulations to Christine!

Why are the Beatles songs credited only to John?
Especially when the songs in question are written by Paul.

and is Build me up buttercup really written by Mike D´abo?
Quite a fall from Handbags and gladrags.

Good for Christine!

Probably because they were billed as Lennon/McCartney...since Lennon always comes first sometimes Paul is left off. Happens all the time with the song 'Yesterday' and John had nothing to do with that at all.

Yes, do you want it?

And me too! I'm interested in Christine!!! :blob2::blob1: I didn't know about this latest tidbit about Christine McVie!!! I just don't post a lot because I usually don't have a lot to say other than "Christine has such an awesome voice! I love her songs! She's soooo underrated!" :laugh:

But anyway, thanks for sharing!

fmfanatic, I could not agree with you more!

I was just thinking that she probably has one of the best female singing voices. It is really a shame she doesn't release more stuff...

I just dont post here a lot because I have nothing to say really. :lol:

I'm extremely interested in Christine. But I don't have that much to say except what I have said many times before: Christine was a rock 'n' roll pioneer, performing the three roles of singer, songwriter, and musician, in a band on equal terms with the men in the band, for perhaps the first time in popular music history.

Oh, and she has an awesome voice, too.

the problem is that she is retired and so there's not much new to talk about.

I doubt if we'll see any more new music from our Tea Lady and as it's difficult to think of new things to discuss we can only really go over old ground.

Things like this award should really be announced on her own website but that has died a death as far as I can tell (the latest news is from 2004!)

But as I said I think she really is retired this time so I don't suppose she's all that fussed.

Gail

I know. But I still hold out hope---I have this weird feeling one more record's coming...I don't know why I have this feeling (maybe it's delusion?) but I have it.

I feel that whatever spark inspired her to put out Meantime will give us something else from her, even if it's just an appearance on someone else's album.

Hey, if she never records again with the Mac (and I don't believe that that will never happen), if Dan Perfect or her half-brother ever do any projects of their own, I'm sure she would participate. After all, she said she does continue to practice the piano and I think she could even pull off a classical performance still, if asked by her brother.

And with Mick working with Jeremy Spencer recently, I can't believe he wouldn't go out of his way to slide Chris into some of his solo work, just one last time, if we don't see her anywhere else.

Michele

An award certificate is nice from BMI, I'm sure... but it's really the fat check from BMI that matters. Just sayin'.

I don't think Chris will get any more money for this song. Didn't she sell her music publishing rights in the 1980's for One hundred and fifty million dollars?

She sold some of her rights but I thought it was in the nineties (I might be wrong)

One hundred and fifty million dollars? that seems a lot. No wonder she doesn't need to work again!

Gail

150 million?:shocked: Where did you hear that number? I believe she sold her partial publishing rights just after she retired from touring back in the early 1990's, after the BTM tour. I doubt that she sold her entire catalogue, especially her Rumours songs. They're priceless. Rumours will sell forever.

NO Viv, there are many who love Christine. Me included. I just dont think she ever got (or even wanted) the limelight. She is one of my all time favs and Song Bird and Warm Ways just kill me evertime they are played.

She's a true talent in her own right.


Glenn

You're most likely right about it being in the 1990's. Somewhere in my collection I have a pic of Chris from Billboard magazine signing away her publishing and the monetary figure was listed.

I don't know how much Chris may have sold publishing rights for, but I guess anything was better than the 1 shilling per song deal she and Bob made with Clive Davis.

Michele

All I know is I miss Christine McVie

If you happen to have the time & find that picture, could you scan it & post it?

All I remember reading about was when Martin Wyatt became her music publisher and I think they were going to publish other people's music together as well.

The next BMI Gold Badge Awards is this Wednesday.

Here's that picture from last year's http://bmi.com/news/entry/335047


Michele

I do want the hip hop version...:)

I have pm'd you the link. Enjoy!!
