Wong? Does anyone know who she is? Bye, Sky

Judy wong was a long time friend and spiritual advisor for the group...if my memory serves correct. I know Mick mentions her in his book. I'll double check. Also, i believe she passed away in the late 80's.

Joe,

Judy Wong did not pass away in the late 1980's. I just saw Mick's documentary from last year and there were several interview segments with her. As of last year, she was alive and well.

"Madame" Wong was also formerly married to the bassist from Jethro Tull, forget his name, but he had been friends with Mick and John and gigged with them too.

She was also the person to introduce Bob Welch to the rest of the band.

Jethro Tull's bass player: Glenn Cornick (who also was in Paris with Welch)

Hi!
Thanks for the input ! I think I saw Judy Wong
in The Dance video sitting back by Elliot Scheiner,
Lindsey's co-producer and their pals!

Some how I got the idea she worked in Mick's
office when they were making F Mac LIVE...it says
S.C.O.E....Judy Wong!!! Know what that means?
I think she is a very pretty Oriental lady!

Thanks for the interest in this question! Bye! Sky

Also, according to Micks book (Life and Adventures in FM) Judy ran the office of Seedy Management back in the 80's. Looks like she's one of those" behind the scenes" people, who have been with FM from the beginning since the late 60's.

When did she introduce Bob Welch to the band? it must've been in England in the early 70's...

According to Mick's book, Judy Wong got Bob Welch in contact with Fleetwood Mac in 1971, just after Jeremy left the band.

Judy was considered the mother of the band. Tango In The Night was dedicated to her. Not only did she get an early Fleetwood Mac song named after her Jewel Eyed Judy but she introduced Bob Welch to the band. She was the band's secretary
She passed in 2005.
Could you imagine the stories she could tell.

I cannot recall this but on a Facebook page someone claimed in Mick's book Judy picked the song order on Rumours. Anyone can confirm this?

oh dear, no wonder Stevie had to publicly and loudly proclaim that it was she herself that sequenced Rumours, being the "expert sequencer" she claims to be.

I thought I had read that Judy and Chris were very good friends, and at some point years ago (maybe on here) people were taking the band to task for abandoning Judy and others who had been key elements of the band's success. I thought someone wrote about Judy needing healthcare (dental?) and being very down on her luck when she passed when anyone in the band could have lent a helping hand.

I heard or read that she was found passed away in her home. I gather she had been there a bit before anyone found her. I thought I read or heard that Mick paid for her funeral. She played a major role in the Fleetwood Mac family during the Bob Welch to Tusk era. I think after Mirage, the band just sort of dissipated and were doing their own thing and the rest of the "family" got left behind.

Some info on Judy for those who don't know about her:

Judy owned a boutique in SF that many bands used to shop at. She was friends initially with Jenny Boyd, before Jenny married Mick, and that was how she connected with FM.

She was gorgeous, some photos here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/chin...4549695102754/

this shows a pic of Mick at a memorial service for her and it claims the band paid for all expenses
