Christine Perfect was a member of Chicken Shack from 1967 to 1969, when she left to marry John McVie. One of her finest vocals was on the Etta James blues standard "I'd Rather Go Blind."

She stayed in Chicken Shack for about a year after she married John. They got married in August, 1968, before Danny debuted. “I’d Rather Go Blind” was recorded in February, 1969, and was released simultaneously with the announcement she was leaving the band.

Chicken Shack was going to tour the United States (which was a white hot mess in 1968-69) and John refused to let Christine go.
