Christine Perfect recorded her first album as a solo artist, Christine Perfect, in 1970. Although it was well-received, it would be nearly another fourteen years before she would release a second one. During the intervening years, Christine, now known as Christine McVie, was busy as a vocalist, keyboard player and songwriter for one of the most successful bands of the rock era, Fleetwood Mac, a role she would continue into the 1990s.
In early 1984, during a band hiatus, Christine released her second album, Christine McVie. A well-crafted and elegant collection of songs, featuring contributions from a number of Christine's contemporaries including fellow Fleetwood Mac members Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood, the album yielded several hits. The second single, "Love Will Show Us How," debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in late April 1984, achieving a peak placing of #30 the following month.

Christine McVie, which also features the top 10 hit "Got A Hold on Me," is currently in print, as are Christine's 1970 album and her most recent effort, 2004's In the Meantime.

I recommend Christine's 2004 album 'In the Meantime' too. I think it's even better than this one. The songs have a great warmth and intimacy, and her singing and playing are just as good as ever.
Yes, I agree that Christine's more recent material is excellent as well. One of the things I admire most about her is the consistency of her work through the years, both with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. She's very talented.
I don't remember the song, but I remember the video.
Strange how that happens.
