Stevie Nicks
Stevie Nicks' musical career began in 1967 together with Lindsay Buckingham, whom she met in high school, when he asked her to join a psychedelic rock band called "Fritz." The band would go on to open for Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, both of whom inspired the young Stevie. In 1975 both Nicks and Buckingham joined "Fleetwood Mac," and that same year Stevie was launched into worldwide stardom with such songs as "Rhiannon" and "Landslide." She worked with clothing designer Margie Kent to develop her signature gypsy-Bohemian style, and her onstage persona was theatrical, passionate and intense. Stevie began her solo career in 1981 with the studio album "Bella Donna," which went multiplatinum. Between her work with "Fleetwood Mac" and her solo career, her accomplishments are truly staggering: Grammy Awards, American Music Award nominations, and she was the first woman ever to receive two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fleetwood's 1975 "Rumours" album was rated the 7th-greatest album of all time by Rolling Stone, and with over 120 millions records sold worldwide, Fleetwood is one of the best-selling acts of all time. Stevie Nick's illustrious career has inspired so many of today's well known artists including Beyonce, Sheryl Crow and Taylor Swift. Rolling Stone called her the "Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll" and one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. Stevie still writes and performs to this day, in fact she's still a very busy lady, as just last year she released new music, a live album and concert film, and a music video.
