Track of the Day: You Make Loving Fun - Fleetwood Mac
'You Make Loving Fun' - the fourth and final single to be released from 1977's Rumours - is not only a great pop song, but a fine representation of the musical era from which it came. Aside from rich, melodic verses, it's the chorus that makes the track so joyous - Christine McVie's vocals glide effortlessly over a funky groove, perfectly timed against harmonic backing vocals. The result is a glorious, uplifting sound, which is further enhanced by Lindsey Buckingham's impressive guitar work.
Have to say that I normally prefer Mac's songs with Stevie singing up front but I can't imagine this track being sung by anyone other than Christine - it is a superbly constructed song and is another reason why Rumours is such a brilliant album...
