God i loved this song. whenever MTV played the video i'd snatch the remote from my parents hands, crank up the volume, then start dancing like the guys in the video. i still can't believe it didn't hit #1.

Prince laid down the synth on this uncredited. Stevie was influenced for this song by Prince’s Little Red Corvette.

Fun Fact: Stevie was also given a tape with the Purple Rain song music on it (It was just music not a song and not arranged yet) and Prince asked her to do something with it. After having it a while Stevie said she couldn't do anything with it. Later Prince arranged the Purple Rain music into the song Purple Rain. Stevie still owns that tape of original music that eventually turned into the song Purple Rain.

I once heard her on an interview tell the story of this song. She said she had just gotten married and was in the car headed for the airport to leave for her honey moon when Prince came on with "Little Red Corvette" and "I said, WHO is that?" After being told she remembered she had this poem that she had written at some point earlier and got this idea for this song, called her producer and she said her husband was a very good sport and let them go into the studio to produce this while she was supposed to be on her honeymoon! I mean I assume they went SOMEWHERE or whatever after but I just never completely forgot this story. Some of the details might be off but not by much.

I loved when she told this story 👏👏 she instinctively knew he was epic.

Stevie Nicks looks like an angel.

Check out her performances of Stand Back from SNL in 1983 and Solid Gold from early 1984. Crazy good. The Wild Heart is one of my favorite Stevie albums and you can begin to hear the change in her voice with a higher sounding vibrato that started to take hold in 1982 from the excessive use of coke. "Beauty And the Beast" from this album is absolutely stunning!

Lots of memories.....always loved this song. so you will love Stevies "I can´twait" too.i´m sure. it´s (almost)from the same time as Stand back.

I can’t wait is amazing!!!!

This was all over the radio back in the 1980s. Every time you turned the dial you either ran into the beginning, middle or end of this song. It's still played on classic rock stations. Those lights on the catwalk were neon lights. They've mostly been replaced by LEDs.

If you want to see Stevie Nicks at her best, watch "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac. Such a beautiful song.

That’s my favorite FM song.

Stevie Nicks is “first woman to be twice inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - with Fleetwood Mac in 1998, and now as a solo artist.” She also had a role as herself in “ American Horror Story” in ‘Coven’ season 3.

Need to react to Fleetwood Mac’s Seven Wonders. One of my all time favorites Stevie has lead vocals on

Steve Lukather lead guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer for the group Toto. He and other members of Toto were highly sought after session musicians at the time. Toto had some great hit songs from the late 70's and 80's. They continued to release music in the 90's into the 2000's.

Stevie was,is,and always has been(and always will be) an absolute Goddess in every way.Voice,hair, attitude,style and dress,an absolute freaking Goddess.

I was a teen in the 80's, the music was so good. So, so good. I am really lucky. I have many awesome music memories!

I like how you get into to origins of the songs.. Great job!!

One of the greatest song of the 80's

Lori and Sharon are on every solo album of hers...they are "her girls", and they toured with Fleetwood Mac too. Lori was married to Stevie's brother.

Stevie is one of the COOLEST music artists. No argument. She just oozes charisma. Love her ❤. I'd recommend 'I Cant Wait'..that rocks

Your reactions are the most unique with your knowledge of music. I was a teenager when this song was out it was a huge hit.

Other Synth heavy 80s Stevie songs you should check out: I Can’t Wait (the video is amazing), If anyone falls, Talk to me.

One of the iconic female Rock voices of all time

If you want Stevie and synths, then you also need to listen to I Can’t Wait. It’s very 80s and very brilliant!

Hands down one of my favorite Stevie solo songs. I still just want to twirl around the room listening to this. Prince was actually very interested in collaborating with Stevie. He had envisioned a duet. Prince sent her a song that he was working on hoping she would record it with him. ( Yes- she still has the demo ) Nicks called him and said she felt from an artist perspective that it was something that he should record by himself- it was that good and was completely him. It would later be recorded by Prince as a solo- it was “Purple Rain”.

Lori Perry Nicks is married to Stevie’s brother, Chris Nicks.

My childhood lol Stevie and Fleetwood Mac played through my house and school like crazy

Stevie Nicks' whole discography is golden. Her released singles will never serve the albums they were released from with justice. You ever listen to Cry Wolf Jane Desert Angel Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin) Sing For The Things No Spoken Word Every Day I'd love for you to dive in to more.

Stevie was Married to Kim Anderson for just a few months. Kim Anderson was Stevie’s best friends Widower. Stevie was their son’s Godmother and felt she wanted to take care of them after her friend Robyn died of Leukemia.

I remember her saying something about performing this live “it has a certain energy “. I feel that way every time I hear it, I just have to listen. Still awesome after all these years.

Take a time tô listen Rooms On Fire by Stevie Nicks 1989. Great music vídeo & Song. I think you're gonna love it.

hey Dereck, I've been in love with Stevie since 1976! I've seen Fleetwood Mac and Stevie solo over 50 times and met her at a DVD signing. So happy you're loving her too. other Fleetwood Mac classics: Dreams, Landslide, Gypsy, and if you love 80s synth, check out Stevie solo If Anyone Falls, I Can't Wait.

This song is in my top 10 of best songs ever! Lol! I just love it!!! Seen her perform this three times. Shes badass AF!

She later met up with Prince again at the "Purple Rain" premiere. Afterwards, he asked her what she thought of the film and she told him she was bothered by the violence towards the women in the movie, got up and went to the ladies room and stayed there. Stevie says this seemed to upset Prince very much and it was pretty much the end of their friendship.

I’m loving the synths 😉

Her voice is amazing.

Your reactions are the best. You do your homework and provide very interesting information. You enjoy doing this, and it shows! Keep it up!

One of my favourite song ever! This track is Gold! The synths, the rythm, the incredible voice gives me power like no other song do. It is blood, it is life. Forever LOVE Stevie ❤️!

my stevie nicks song. soooo badd ass and stevie's moves and expressions in the video are cool as f**k.

Leather & Lace is a favorite of mine. I saw Stevie sing it in concert, for my 21st birthday in 1991, with Tom Petty, as well as Stop Dragging my Heart Around. Her voice is ever haunting, and ethereal. I love Courtney Love's cover of Gold Dust Woman.

The dancing was well put together excellent choreography.

You should listen to her new song Show Them the Way.

Stand Back was the first single from the Wild Heart Album

One of my other jams!!..... I love Stevie Nicks!!..... 💙

This is my fav song by her and she is my 👑

Stevie loves dance. She took ballet and was a skilled ballerina before she became famous. That is why she always has been known for her signature spinning!

guarantee you listen to 'i can't wait' with those headphones 🎧 it will blow your mind .

Try 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' by Stevie. Has a total country sound to it.

This video was such a bomb. With all the background dancers doing the same dance. Lol.

Oh yes I'll have me some 80's Stevie with a side order of 70's Stevie and a piece of 90's Stevie for dessert.... 2 slices of 2021 Stevie to go, please.

Wow! I listen to the song often but I hadn't seen the video in years. The video is totally 80's but the song is timeless.

This song goes off, with a life of it's own, live. As a solo performance by Stevie Nicks or with Fleetwood Mac, it just brings the audience to their feet instantly! Stevie married Kim Anderson, the widower of Stevie's best friend, to help him raise their son shortly after her death from Leukemia. The marriage didn't last because they married for all the wrong reasons.

I saw her in 1986 in Tampa, Fl. She looked like an angel in those flowy dresses that she changed several times. She also brought her dad up on stage and spoke of the love for him and his support. It was a wonderful concert, Great memories!

I wish I could like this video every time I agreed with your statements... but I can only give you the one. You have fantastic taste.

I can't wait and Talk to me also 2 other songs of the many amazing solo Stevie songs that you would love. And there are many.

You have to watch "I Can't Wait"...all I'm gonna say...

Any live version has killer synth! Favorite version is on her Crystal Visions compilation album along with a live version of Edge of Seventeen

Finally, been looking for this

This reactor I like! He's informed of the artists. He seems like a much older person in a young package....of course when we get older then we're still a much younger person in an old package,lol

Such an incredible song. Still fresh

Written by Stevie Nicks and the late Prince 🤴, RIP. Yes: sister of Stevie sings backing vocals. Steve Lukather is in his band Toto. Yet, he plays as a studio musician. In the same year, 1983, he played the solo for The Tubes in She's a Beauty and for the late Kenny Rogers, RIP, in All My Life. Waddy Wachtel is in the band for Keith Richards, when he is on break from The Rolling Stones. RIP Brett Tuggle, who played keyboards 🎹 for Fleetwood Mac, Rick Springfield, others.

you Must listen version live from Melbourne 2006 the best version than ever

Now she often does this song with Fleetwood Mac. The synths are replaced with a guitar heavy sound with the Mac. The band loves to do that song cause they rock out.

Yeah, but unfortunately the synths gave that song a special vibe that you cannot do with guitars.

Yeah this sounds like one of those songs that should be playing right in my eardrums to get the full effect because of the synthesizer and whatnot. I really need to join the modern world and get some headphones.

This song and her voice still gives me chills almost 40 years after hearing it for the first time....

She was very popular back then. I was 13, In 83🎤

Such a great song

You gotta stop stopping it so much and just enjoy the music man 🎶🎶

If you get a chance, her audio commentary on this is hilarious - she said that being on the treadmill wearing high boots wasn't that much fun, and kinda dangerous! But it looks great!

Stevie's best friend died and her bestfriend had a baby so she married her husband that she didn't love so she could raise her baby but her bestfriends husband fell in love with her they did get divorced and she stayed in their lives as friends and she helped raise the child

Do a reaction to her Stand Back live on Solid Gold.

Synth is all PRINCE! This song is her reaction to hearing Princes Little Red Corvette. :-)

I can’t wait next

Great song!! Loving my type of music with the synths, horns & a driving beat!! Many say electronic music is not real music? Music don't make itself! It's just another tool in the musical shed to make something magical. Thanks Dereck!

My crush. I love her voice.

Hello from Ireland back in lockdown! My fave band is ace of base! You heard them before? Big in the early nineties pure catchy europop! All that she wants was their biggest hit but The Sign was number one in us for weeks! And Beautiful Life will cheer you up if this crazy situation gets you down!

A great song. And as always a lovely reaction 😊 You should try and react to 'I Can't Wait' and 'Talk to Me' from 1985s Rock A Little album. If you love this one...

I've been listening to some of her piano demos on KZread. It's just pure, unadulterated beauty. They aren't perfect but yet they are.

You were write, Sharon Celoni has been singing with Stevie since the beginning of her solo career. Lori pretty steady too.

Yes we knew you would go crazy for these Prince synths. The video was very well done, and Stevie knows how to work the camera. You should check out Gypsy- Fleetwood Mac official video. It was the most expensive video of its time. Lindsey Buckingham called it his favorite song of Stevie's, and he did some beautiful string work on it. The video is very fitting for a jewel of a song.

The song is Stevie's female response to Prince's "Little Red Corvette". This time, the girl is kept waiting, and is not happy about it. She's not fast, but he is. If you want to hear 2 great examples of Fleetwood Mac's inclusion of synths in their 1980s output, listen to, "Everywhere" (lead vocal by Christine McVie) and "Seven Wonders" (lead vocal by Stevie Nicks). If you want to see excellent, classic Fleetwood Mac videos, watch "Gypsy" and "Hold Me" both from the Summer of 1982.

Never looked better, great song, really good album...

I m french and i love this song !!!The synth lead is amazing !!!

Lori Perry-Nicks is her sister-in-law married to her brother Christopher Nicks who was also her manager .

Please do beauty and the beast live in Las Vegas 2005! Also her new one that’s just came out show them the way. Lori nicks is her sister in law.

Prince also sent her the instrumental to Purple Rain and asked her to write lyrics and she got scared because the song sounded so great she sent it back to him and said I can't do this, you have to write it.

the point of the background vocals was that Stevie during the Belladonna album wanted to make a female version of a Crosby, Stills, and Nash album

This is the 2nd video for this song. She didn’t like how the first video turned out and made this second video.

Dereck the guitarist Steve Lukther is from the band Toto.They had a few 80's hits!Africa,ecc.

Fantastic Song ❤️❤️❤️

my girl!

You should do Valentine by Bryn Ferry this song is amazing

I believe Sheila E. Was playing drums in this incarnation of the band

Please react to Anyone falls in love wich is from the same album. She was amazing in this one too. And the instrumentation darn good!

This is Stevie Nicks solo career without Fleetwood mac

Hi Dereck ! Please react to Olivia Newton-john "Living in Desperate Times"...Great bass and guitars...
