As one of the longest-standing (and underappreciated) members in Fleetwood Mac, over her career spanning more than five decades, Christine McVie penned, played and sang many of the group's most beloved hits. Even outside of her own songs, her contributions on Mac's albums were noteworthy; her soft high harmonies in songs like "The Chain" were seamless, providing a stark contrast to the lower, more powerful voices of Lindsey and Stevie. Christine isn't a particularly high-placed singer, though, as her lower notes are solid and her natural chest voice tone is - particularly in recent years - somewhat androgynous. For a good representation of her voice, I'd definitely recommend listening to Rumours and perhaps even In the Meantime.
{A Few Examples of Her Voice}
Delicate singing throughout here.
An example of both her solo and late career singing - she's obviously much more comfortable singing low.
A demo, but a good one.

1. Questionable identity/legitimacy.

Questionable notes are any notes of questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range. These involve (but are not limited to) notes of questionable identity, notes of questionable legitimacy and notes of significantly poor quality.
