Stevie Nicks walked into Fleetwood Mac in 1975 with Lindsey Buckingham, after their duo album Buckingham Nicks had gone nowhere, and helped turn the band into one of the best-selling acts ever. Rumours became one of the biggest-selling albums anywhere. But in 1981, still very much a member of the Mac, she stepped out on her own, and Bella Donna went to the top of the Billboard 200.
That album is the sound of Nicks stretching her wings. "Edge of Seventeen" rides a chugging, galloping guitar that never lets up while her voice, that grainy, quavering bleat, circles above like a bird of prey. "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" struts with a tough country-rock swagger, and "Leather and Lace" is hushed and candlelit. The Wild Heart, in 1983, went more electronic with "Stand Back", all synthesized pulse and dance-floor insistence.
Born in Phoenix in 1948, she sings, plays guitar, keyboards and tambourine, and writes her own mystical, heart-heavy songs. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has inducted her twice, with Fleetwood Mac in 1998 and on her own in 2019, making her the first woman ever inducted twice.
