"Jewel-Eyed Judy" is a song by Fleetwood Mac, that appeared on their 1970 album Kiln House. The song was credited to John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and Danny Kirwan. Despite this, in Mick Fleetwood's autobiography, "Play On", he claimed that Fleetwood's wife and Christine McVie wrote the lyrics together when the former was four months pregnant.[1] This is the last single released by the band featuring guitarist Jeremy Spencer.[citation needed] The song reached #42 in the Netherlands.[citation needed] The song was written about Judy Wong, a close friend of Fleetwood Mac.[citation needed]
The song was expected to reach the top 60 of the Billboard Hot 100,[2] but failed to enter the chart at all.
