STEVIE NICKS TURNS 72 TODAY. THIS WOMAN HAS DONE IT ALL. SHE’S BEEN REFERRED TO AS THE “QUEEN OF ROCK”. SHE’S A MEMBER OF FLEETWOOD MAC AND HAS A THRIVING SOLO CAREER. COLLECTIVELY SHE’S SOLD OVER 140 MILLION ALBUMS. ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE HAS LISTED HER ON THEIR LISTS OF “THE 100 GREATEST SONGWRITERS OF ALL-TIME” AND “100 GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL-TIME”. SHE’S WON A GRAMMY AND HAS 5 GRAMMY NOMINATIONS AS A MEMBER OF FLEETWOOD MAC, AND HAS 8 GRAMMY NOMINATIONS AND 2 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD NOMINATIONS AS A SOLO ARTIST. SHE’S THE ONLY WOMAN TO HAVE BEEN INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME TWICE, ONCE AS A MEMBER OF FLEETWOOD MAC IN 1998,AND THEN AS A SOLO ARTIST IN THE CLASS OF 2019. NOT BAD FOR SOMEONE WHO ATTENDED SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY AND LEFT A SEMESTER BEFORE GRADUATING TO PURSUE A CAREER IN MUSIC. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREAT STEVIE NICKS. LET’S CELEBRATE WITH ONE OF STEVIE’S GREATEST SOLO HITS.
