Stevie Nicks
Born May 26th, 1948
Key Tracks "Landslide," "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac) "Stand Back" (solo)
Influenced Natalie Maines, Sarah McLachlan, Courtney Love
Sheryl Crow calls Stevie Nicks' voice a "combination of sheer vulnerability and power," and Courtney Love swoons over "that ridiculous beautiful tone."
Nicks' strong, deceptively versatile voice — by turns husky, warm, velvety and childlike — has provided the color and texture for songs ranging from smooth and mysterious Fleetwood Mac hits such as "Rhiannon" and "Dreams" to solo rockers like "Stand Back."
"She's so tiny, and this big, deep voice comes rattling out, and I think that's very sexy," said Debbie Harry of Blondie.
Nicks has influenced and mentored a wide generation of younger female singers, from the country of the Dixie Chicks to the sweet pop of Vanessa Carlton. "Her voice soothes me," says Love, "gives me something to aspire to and leaves me feeling courageous."

they are best when they are all together.
Peter Green/Bob Welsh era was OK,but it lacked any pretense of commercial listenability.
Guess I'll suck it up and drag my arse to Tampa.. get a nosebleed seat and see how Mike Campbell does it.
Fleetwood Mac Detail New Tour and Talk Life After Lindsey Buckingham

When I was a little kid, I was play pals with a little Cuban-American girl in my neighborhood in Long Island, NY.
Both of our dad's were stationed at the same military base and moon lighted together as bartenders at the base NCO club. Anyway, the girl had a sister who was two years older than her who I also knew.
After both our families moved away, we stayed in touch over the years.
The older sister went on to become a singer in a somewhat successful 70's vocal band called Desmond Child and Rouge. They appeared on SNL once around 1979. I heard they also worked with Aerosmith. Anyway, after the group disbanded, she went out on her own. Released an 80's dance single and album, but also sang backup for Stevie Nicks who, believe it or not, returned the favor on one of her albums.
During a phone call in the 90's, her mother told my mom that she and her family lived right around the corner from OJ Simpson's Bel Aire house where the Bronco chase ended up.
True story.
C'MON MAN!!!!
As a proud Trojan nothing better than seeing Fleetwood Mac and the USC Marching Band perform TUSK together.
