“Stevie Nicks is the only woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame TWICE. Once for Fleetwood Mac and a second time for her solo career.”

“The other members of Fleetwood Mac initially 'weren't crazy' about Stevie Nicks' ‘Dreams,’ with Christine McVie even describing it as ‘boring.’ It went on to become the band's only #1 hit.”

Nicks was dubbed ‘the Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll’ by Rolling Stone after releasing her first album, ‘Bella Donna’ in 1981.

“TIL the Prince song ‘Purple Rain’ was originally intended to be a country song and Prince wanted Stevie Nicks to write the lyrics.”

Not only has Stevie Nicks sold more than 20 million records, but she was also named one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.

Despite the lyrics of “Edge of Seventeen,” Nicks said she had never actually heard a dove’s cry until around 2020.

“Stevie Nicks was asked to compose and perform a song for the American Gigolo soundtrack, but her contract with Modern Records prevented her from doing so. Debbie Harry was approached next, and the resulting song was Blondie's #1 hit, ‘Call Me.’” 


Throughout her childhood, Nicks showed a passion for music, particularly for girl groups. “I listened to lots of Top 40 R&B radio,” she once explained. “I loved The Shirelles and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas; stuff like 'Remember (Walking in the Sand)' by The Shangri-Las." Later, Nicks said her grandfather gifted her "a truckload of records" when she was in elementary school. "There must have been 150 singles: country, rockabilly, some Everly Brothers, a song called ‘Party Doll’ that went, ‘Come along and be my party doll/And I'll make love to you,'" she recalled.

By the age of four, Nicks was able to perform duets with her grandfather.

“Shortly before joining on with Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks held two waitressing and one cleaning lady job.”

“Stevie Nicks didn’t join Fleetwood Mac until 8 years after the band was founded & was only invited because her boyfriend/songwriting partner Lindsey Buckingham refused to become the new guitarist unless they brought her onboard as a ‘package deal.’”

“Steve Nicks of Fleetwood Mac ha[d] a charity called ‘Stevie Nicks’ Band of Soldiers’ where she personally chose music to be loaded onto iPod Nanos and delivered them to wounded soldiers in Army and Navy medical centers.”

Not only does “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child sample Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen,” but the Fleetwood Mac icon also appeared in the music video for the track.
