STEVIE NICKS

Name: Stephanie Lynn Nicks                                                         
Born: 26 May 1948 Phoenix, Arizona, USA                                           
                                                                                   
Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks (born May 26, 1948) is an American singer and       
songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo       
career, which collectively have produced over twenty Top 50 hits. Her ethereal     
visual style and heavily symbolic lyrics have brought her both acclaim and         
criticism.                                                                         
                                                                                   
Nicks was invited to join Fleetwood Mac in 1975 after Mick Fleetwood heard "Frozen 
Love," a song she wrote and recorded with then-boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham.       
With the success of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album in 1977, Nicks and her           
bandmates earned international fame. Nicks began her solo career in 1981 with     
Bella Donna, and has produced five more solo studio albums to date.               
                                                                                   
Nicks has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards, and with Fleetwood Mac won the   
1977 Grammy for Album of the Year for Rumours. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she   
was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
