Mick's Zoo American Bandstand appearance 1984
I remember watching this in 1984 and really despised the comment from the guitarist Steve Ross about Fleetwood Mac's status. George Hawkins was just about to join Christine on tour when this aired. I love Billy but I never thought he was a good singer. His singing is like nails down a chalkboard IMHO.

Billy is not a great singer. You think Oh Daddy is a bad song so what do you know about music? ;) |

You're WRONG, because Billy has a sweet, melodic voice. The band could have picked ANYONE they wanted at the height of their success, and they chose Billy. Clearly, one of us is WRONG. You.:lol: I've only made my living in the music business for 31 years(I'll be 35yo next month), so what do I know?:mad: |
There has never been a great male singer in Fleetwood Mac's 54 year history. When they do the greatest singers in rock lists no guys from Fleetwood Mac are ever on there.

Billy's singing is okay. Not great, but okay. Love this song. Fleetwood Mac have had some great male singers. Peter Green was a really great vocalist. Dave Walker was a noted singer, famous for his belting voice. Lindsey was good in his own way. |

For what it’s worth, Christine McVie has one of the most original and unusual voices in popular music and she never makes the lists either. Yes, she has had persistent pitch problems in some live shows and yes, she’s incapable of wailing. But her voice is truly unique. |

I thought both Billy and Steve did a really good job singing those respective songs, and were cute, too! I’d never bothered to listen to the Zoo album, even though I owned it at one time. Thanks for posting this, Macfan4life. |

I was bloody 14 years old fretting every day that I would never see the Mac live in concert again. Everyone was solo with no sign of any interest in making another album. So you cant see how that comment rubbed my little 14 year old heart the wrong way? Rewind time. Every time Stevie, Mick, Lindsey or Christine was asked about Fleetwood Mac from 1983-1984 they gave coy answers that left you guessing. Fleetwood Mac fans were on pins and needles back in those days especially when it was learned that after Wild Heart, Stevie was not returning to the band like after Bella Donna. She was going to record another solo album. Steve Ross was no help :eek: Does anyone remember The Zoo's Thicke of the Night appearance? Alan Thicke used to have a late night talk show in the early 80s before Growing Pains. Mick and the Zoo appeared for a long sit down conversation and then played songs. Too bad that is not on youtube. I think they even played the video Gypsy or at least talked about it. |
I don’t remember Mick on the show, but I remember Thicke of the night very well and I love when Alan had his wife at the time, Gloria Loring, on. His brother was also usually on the show doing heaven knows what. I think the brother’s name was Todd. I did see his sons but they did not interest me (sorry little Robin). I believe one son had diabetes and Alan was always pushing for more awareness for juvenile diabetes.

I did find a young Bon Jovi lip syncing on the show in 1984 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYR7uHGZAJ4 |
