Yesterday, May 26th, was the birthday of one of my favorite recording artists, Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks turned 60 years old.
Stevie Nicks was born Stephanie Lynn Nicks in Phoenix, Arizona. She picked up the name Stevie because as s child she couldn't pronounce Stephanie correctly.
Stevie Nicks came to fame as one of two female singers with the British group Fleetwood Mac. The other being Christy McVie. She has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards and she and Fleetwood Mac won the Grammy Award in 1977 for their album, "Rumours". Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. She has also had a successful solo recording career.
It was rumored that Stevie Nicks was a witch, although she denies any such thing. Her hit song, "Rhiannon" is said to have been named after a character in a book she read about a Welsh witch and her music is copyrighted under the name "Welsh Witch Music." Hmm?? Can't tell from the large photo above!!
She is known on stage for her deep sultry voice, her variety of hats and cashmere boots, and her swirling around in circles when she sings. Happy Birthday Steve!!
