Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks 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 critical acclaim.
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. (Initially Fleetwood only intended to hire Lindsey Buckingham; however Buckingham told him, "We come as a package deal.") With the success of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album in 1977, Fleetwood Mac regained 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.
