Knowing that McVie had musical talent, they asked her to join. Her first foray into the music field came when she met two friends, Stan Webb and Andy Silvester, who were in a band called Sounds Of Blue. During that time, she met a number of budding musicians in Britain's blues scene. McVie studied sculpture at Moseley School of Art in Birmingham for five years, with the goal of becoming an art teacher. Other early influences included The Everly Brothers. Continuing her classical training until age 15, McVie shifted her musical focus to rock and roll when her brother, John, came home with a Fats Domino songbook. Īlthough McVie was introduced to the piano when she was four, she did not study music seriously until age 11, when she was reintroduced to it by Philip Fisher, a local musician and school friend of McVie's older brother, John. McVie's grandfather was an organist at Westminster Abbey. McVie's mother, Beatrice Edith Maud (Reece) Perfect, was a medium, psychic, and faith healer. Her father, Cyril Percy Absell Perfect, was a concert violinist and music lecturer at St Peter's College of Education, Saltley, Birmingham, and taught violin at St Philip's Grammar School, Birmingham. McVie was born in the Lake District village of Bouth, Lancashire, and grew up in the Bearwood area of Smethwick near Birmingham.

The same year, after almost 30 years with the band, she opted to leave and lived in semiretirement for nearly 15 years. In 1998, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. AllMusic describes her as an "Unabashedly easy-on-the-ears singer/songwriter, and the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits." Eight of her songs appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album. Her direct but poignant lyrics focus on love and relationships.
