Formation of Fleetwood Mac

The name of Green's new band was Fleetwood Mac. Originally billed as "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac"; it originated from the band's rhythm section that comprised Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, both of whom, like Peter Green, had played most recently in Mayall's band. Initially this was a straight-up blues-rock band playing blues classics and some original material, but in the mid 1970s the band topped the charts with mainstream pop/rock. Peter Green wrote "Black Magic Woman", which was later covered by Santana. Peter Green was the leader of the group throughout its initial period of success in the late 1960s, with hits including "Oh Well", "Man of the World", "The Green Manalishi" and the #1 British chart hit "Albatross". Peter Green remains ambivalent about his songwriting success, telling Guitar Player "Oh, I was never really a songwriter. I was very lucky to get those hits. I shouldn't have been distracted from my fascination with the blues... I have been known to come up with the odd bit, but I'm not all that wild about the big composer credit."
