Peter Green, painting by John Mayall Peter Green (born as Peter Greenbaum on October 29 1946 in Bethnal Green, England) is a blues-rock guitarist and co-founder of the group Fleetwood Mac.
Green was the leader of the group throughout their period of success in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when their hits included "Oh Well", "Man of the World" and "Albatross". He wrote the song "Black Magic Woman" that was eventually picked-up by Santana. No longer able to cope with the reality that being in the spotlight brought on, Green quit Fleetwood Mac in 1970.
Green has been called the "best white guitar player", and made several comebacks, culminating in the formation of Peter Green Splinter Group, with the assistance of fellow musicians including Cozy Powell. The Splinter Group now performs and tours with Green as frontman.
