"Don't Stop" is a song by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, written by Christine McVie.
One of the band's most enduring hits, "Don't Stop" was released as the second single from Rumours in the United Kingdom in April 1977, peaking at No.
[5] Fleetwood Mac producer Ken Caillat recalled that the decision to sing the song as a duet "improved things dramatically".
[5] Following the completion of the basic tracks at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California, the band relocated to Los Angeles for additional overdubs.
By this point, "Don't Stop" only lacked the final lead vocal take, although McVie and Buckingham thought that the song was not in a suitable key, so all of the instrumentation was scrapped with the exception of the drums.
During the same recording session, Buckingham overdubbed an "up-strumming syncopated electric guitar part, along with some lead licks" and also doubled his vocals with McVie, which allowed for the backing tracks to be pushed up in the mix.
[5] Caillat commented that he was never fond of "Don't Stop", citing grievances with the tempo and the sound of the drums,[a] but he stated that Christine McVie still loved the song.
"[6] Cash Box said that "Mick Fleetwood and John McVie comprise a deadly rhythm section, especially when they're working with a straight ahead shuffle like this one.
