McVie quickly became an essential member of the group, and the author of some of its finest songs. The early '70s was a rocky time for the band, with only the albums Mystery To Me and Bare Trees scoring any successes, . John McVie's alcohol drinking became unbearable; Christine had an affair with a music producer, and she nearly left John and the band to make a solo album with her lover.

Her biggest hit was "Don't Stop", which climbed all the way to #3 . By the end of the Rumours tour, the McVies had divorced. The 1979 double album Tusk produced three more top-20 hits ("Tusk," "Sara," and "Think About Me). The group reunited three years later to record Mirage, which contained the top-5 hit "Hold Me".

In 1984, McVie decided to take a risk and to record a solo album. She created hits with the songs "Got a Hold on Me" (Top 10 pop and #1 adult contemporary) and "Love Will Show Us How". She also met keyboardist Eddy Quintela , whom she married in October 1986. They divorced a decade later.
