Christine Anne McVie (12 July 1943 – 30 November 2022)

Christine McVie, the English musician whose smoky vocals
and romantic lyrics helped catapult the rock group Fleetwood
Mac to international success, died Wednesday after a brief
illness .

In 1998, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and received the Brit
Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. She was also
the recipient of two Grammy Awards.

On November 29, 2001, English musician and songwriter George Harrison died at the age of 58. Harrison achieved global fame as
a member of the Beatles and went on to a successful solo career
that included frequent collaborations with many of the foremost musicians of his generation.

Harrison was born in Liverpool in 1943 and joined the group, then
known as the Quarrymen, when he was barely 15. Harrison became
the group’s lead guitarist and frequently sang, but he developed a reputation as the “quiet Beatle” and was oftentimes overshadowed
by the duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Nonetheless, his influence on the group, and rock music in general, was profound.

Jimi Hendrix was born in Seattle, Washington. Hendrix grew up
playing guitar, imitating blues greats like Muddy Waters as well
as early rockers.

In 1964, he moved to New York and played in coffeehouses,
where bassist Bryan Chandler of the British group the Animals
heard him. Chandler arranged to manage Hendrix and brought
him to London in 1966, where they created the Jimi Hendrix
Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch
Mitchell.

On November 15, 1956, Love Me Tender, featuring singer Elvis
Presley in his big-screen debut, premiered in New York City at
the Paramount Theater. Set in Texas following the American
Civil War, the film, which co-starred Richard Egan and Debra
Paget, featured Elvis as Clint Reno, the younger brother of a
Confederate soldier.

Originally titled The Reno Brothers, the movie was renamed
Love Me Tender before its release, after a song of the same
name that Reno sings during the film.
