Eddy Quintela was a Portuguese keyboardist and songwriter.

For the North American band, Fleetwood Mac, Quintela composed with McVie several songs between 1987 and 1997including  the hit, “Little Lies” from the album Tango in the Night, published in 1987. The hit helped this LP to become the second best seller in the entire Fleetwood Mac career.

Eddy Quintela and Christine McVie married on October 18, 1986.

However, the pair divorced in 2003. They continued to collaborate on Christine McVie’s solo album published the following year. One of Eddy Quintela’s themes for the American band, “Nights in Estoril”, alludes to the time spent by the couple in Portugal, where the musician established several connections, namely in the Cascais line, with Marita Leon (with whom he maintained a musical project in the 1990s) and Fernando Cunha dos Delfins.

The song would be published on Fleetwood Mac’s Time album, which came out in 1995.

Eddy Quintela died in 2020.
