5/26/1948: Born on this day, Stephanie Lynn ‘Stevie’ Nicks, singer, Fleetwood Mac, solo. Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in January 1975, six weeks after Mick Fleetwood came to Sound City in California, in search of a studio to record Fleetwood Mac’s next album. Fleetwood remembered Buckingham’s guitar work when guitarist Bob Welch departed to pursue a solo career. On December 31, 1974, Fleetwood called Buckingham to ask him to replace Welch as guitarist, but Buckingham insisted that Nicks and he were “a package deal.”
