The Beach Boys song Christine McVie called her favourite: “Sounded like an angel”Music is an ever-changing concept, and so artists generally know better than to provide definitive answers as to which song acts as their favourite. The fact that McVie herself has laid down moments of musical genius surely contributes to this. In fact, on a track like ‘Songbird’, McVie crooned with the sort of delicacy so clearly inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys. Because in her younger years, McVie experienced the genius of their music first-hand, while in a relationship with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson. While spending time with Wilson, McVie was offered the opportunity to listen to a more humble version of the then-unreleased, ‘God Only Knows’.
