Hmm...interesting question. She was totally unique during that time because she was a musician. I can't think of any female musician from the 1960's except for her. Since she worked only in the U.K. & Europe, I think she'd be pretty much unknown here in the U.S. However, she did have a bit of an "underground" cult following in the U.K. & Europe & she had gained the respect of ALOT of people over there as a blues artist.
Her brief "retirement" in 1970 lasted less than 3 months. If she had retired then, I think Fleetwood Mac would have ended & all anyone would remember of Fleetwood Mac would be the Peter Green era.
