In fact, she was Freddie King's pianist of choice; whenever he came to England, he would ask for Christine. But unless you've heard the Chicken Shack records, you've never heard Chris play blues piano. (ed.note: Christine McVie was known as Christine Perfect at the time. She was later married to, and divorced from, John.)”
I had no idea she sat in for Freddie King when he was playing in London. That’s awesome.

She said that that's how she learned to play blues piano. She went out and bought Freddie King records.
