“Songbird” by Fleetwood Mac appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2020. It was first released in 1977 on the album Rumours. Its best result is #1437 on the WXPN 2020 Greatest Songs of All Time. In the combined RockLists rankings it is #6,540 indie & aaa song of all time.
Christine McVie wrote "Songbird" alone, words and music, one of four songs on Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album Rumours that were hers and hers only. It also went out on the flip side of the "Dreams" single. The band produced it, with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut engineering and sharing production credit, and Chris Morris assisting.
Onstage it became McVie's farewell for the night: she sang it at the close of Fleetwood Mac concerts again and again, and John McVie, her former husband, remembered grown men in tears whenever she played it, himself among them, every single night.
