Fleetwood Mac | Big Love (1987)

"Big Love" is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. The song first appeared on the band's 1987 album Tango in the Night.

"Big Love" is a showcase song for Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, who described it as a "lustful mid-to-up tempo number featuring love grunts."


"Big Love" was the first single to be released from the album, reaching number 5 in the US and number nine in the UK. The single was also a hit on the American dance charts, where the song peaked at number 7.


A 12-inch version featured an extended dance mix, with added vocals by Stevie Nicks. While the 12-inch version in some territories included "You & I, Part II" from the Tango in the Night album, the 7-inch version and 12-inch version in other territories included a non-album track, "You & I, Part I".


A limited edition 12-inch picture disc was released in the UK, as well as a double 7-inch pack that included the "Big Love" single, and an exclusive 7-inch featuring "The Chain" as an A-side.


"Big Love" became a standard of the Balearic beat dance sound and the object of an extended remix by the DJ Arthur Baker.


The music video was directed by Daniel Kleinman, known for his work on the title sequences to various James Bond movies. The video is filled with compositing and special effects that weren't easy to pull off in 1987.


There's a clear homage to The Twilight Zone , with a window floating in space.
