## Key points

- “Oh Daddy” is one of *Rumours*’ least-played tracks.
- Stevie Nicks called it her favourite Christine McVie song.
- The article argues the song adds emotional depth to the album.

## Summary

Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Daddy”, written by Christine McVie for the band’s 1977 album *Rumours*, is now among the record’s least-played tracks. The article argues that its relative obscurity overlooks its role in the album’s emotional range and McVie’s contribution to the band’s success.

The song was a tribute to drummer and band leader Mick Fleetwood. Stevie Nicks called it her favourite song by McVie and praised its dark quality; the article also presents it as a bridge between the sunny “I Don’t Want to Know” and the darker “Gold Dust Woman”. It contrasts “Oh Daddy”’s streaming figures with the continued attention given to “Silver Springs”, which was left off the original album and released as a B-side.
