February 4th in Barrington History

Good morning and welcome to February 4th and Day 35 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage.

Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.

On this day in 1977, British-American rock band, Fleetwood Mac released Rumours, their eleventh studio album released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records.

“You Make Loving Fun“ is a song written and sung by Christine McVie of the British-American band Fleetwood Mac. It was released as the fourth and final 45 rpm single from the band’s album Rumours in 1977. It was the record’s fourth top-ten hit, as the song peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song was inspired by an affair McVie had with the band’s lighting director, Curry Grant. “To avoid flare-ups”, she told her then-husband John McVie that the song was about her dog.

Stay tuned for our daily songs this month. We’ll be choosing some of our favorite LOVE SONGS leading up to Valentine’s Day.
