Prove Your Love: Fleetwood Mac's Early Years Chronicled on New Compilation
With 1975's Fleetwood Mac, the venerable blues-rock outfit founded by Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer made a strategic leap towards the mainstream. Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie were joined on that album by two Americans, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who transformed the band into a commercial rock behemoth.

There'll Come a Time: SoulMusic, The Second Disc Team for Loleatta Holloway Box Set "We're Getting Stronger"

With two albums under her belt and a Top 10 R&B hit with "Cry to Me" in 1975, she was signed to Salsoul Records by
