Stevie Nicks
Famed for her mystical chanteuse image, singer/songwriter
Stevie Nicks has enjoyed phenomenal success not only as a solo artist
but also as a key member of Fleetwood Mac. Nicks started writing songs
in her mid-teens, and joined her first group, the Changing Times, while
attending high school in California.
During her senior year, Nicks met fellow student Lindsey Buckingham, with
whom she formed the band Fritz along with friends Javier Pacheco and Calvin
Roper. Between 1968 and 1971, the group became a popular attraction on
the West Coast music scene, opening for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and
Creedence Clearwater Revival. Ultimately, tensions arose over the amount
of attention paid by fans to Nicks' pouty allure, and after three years
Fritz disbanded; Buckingham remained her partner, however, and soon became
her lover as well.
After moving to Los Angeles, the duo recorded their 1973 debut LP, Buckingham-Nicks.
Despite a cover which featured the couple nude, the album flopped; however,
it caught the attention of the members of Fleetwood Mac, who invited Buckingham
and Nicks to join their ranks in 1974. In quick time, the revitalized
group achieved unparalled success: after the LP Fleetwood Mac topped the
charts in 1975, they recorded 1977's Rumours, which sold over 17 million
copies and stood for several years as the best-selling album of all-time.
Major hit singles like "Dreams" and "Rhiannon" made
Nicks a focal point of Fleetwood Mac, and in 1981 she took time off from
the group to record her solo debut, Bella Donna, which hit Number One
on the strength of the Top 20 hits "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"
(a duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), "Leather and Lace"
(a duet with Don Henley) and "Edge of Seventeen (Just Like the White
Winged Dove)." After a return to Fleetwood Mac for the 1982 album
Mirage (which featured her hit "Gypsy"), Nicks released her
second solo effort, The Wild Heart, highlighted by the Top Five smash
"Stand Back." Rock a Little, which featured the single "Talk
to Me," followed in 1985.
After a long hiatus, Fleetwood Mac reunited for the album Tango in the
Night; The Other Side of the Mirror, Nicks' first solo record in four
years, followed in 1989. After a series of line-up changes she left Fleetwood
Mac in 1993, and issued Street Angel a year later. In 1997, she rejoined
the reunited Fleetwood Mac on tour and on the album The Dance. A Nicks
solo box set, Enchanted, followed in 1998.~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
