When he was still with us, Tom Petty used to refer to Stevie as an "honorary Heartbreaker". Definitely need to follow this up with her duet with Don Henley of the Eagles"Leather and Lace".
Jay- I have heard this song a million times- I hear more Stevie. It isn't much duo is it? Exactly. I got burned out on Stevie in t h e 80s. Christine McPhee ( sp) has a great voice and never got the recognition unfortunately. Try the Don Henley one. Don gets some time in on the song.
What makes the song so good is that their voices are so distinctive. This was a big hit back in the day. Stevie was solo at the time so it kept her out there.
Listen, I’m 54 years old grew up listening to Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, etc. This is in my opinion one of the best songs this song is so bad ass! I have a 15 year old daughter. she knows this song by heart.!
Stevie asked Tom to write her a song that sounds like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Tom wrote this song for her, which went to number 6 on the American Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks in 1981. It was also the first single off of Nicks's debut album, Bella Donna.
When Stevie Nicks was recording the Bells Donna album it just so happened there were other artists recording in the same studio. One was Tom Petty. The song wasn't intended to be a duet but I am glad it was!! You should check out Leather & Lace . Actually the whole album is great!!
Stevie Nicks nearly stole the song off Tom Petty when Stevie Nicks was dating Jimmy Iovine a Musical Sound Engineer/ Producer that was Secretly Dating Stevie at the time ! Netflix Documentary- The Defiant Ones 👌
TP is a musical genius. He surrounded himself with high quality musicians. Mike Campbell on guitar is hands down one of the best in music. Benmont Trench on keyboards was classically trained. There's a great documentary ABOUT TP and the band. "Running down a dream" gives you the complete history of the band.
They did another duet together that's not as well known. More of a ballad, acoustic with very emotional deliveries. "Insider", from the album "Hard Promises."
They were great friends for decades. Each would pop in at the other's concerts and join in. I forget exactly what she said, but when Tom died, Stevie wrote a very touching "goodbye".
This one and Mary Jane's last dance are my favorite Tom Pretty songs. He was a man of integrity and a good friend in spite of his own problems. In an interview Stevie Nicks said when she felt like she was at her lowest in rehab, she asked him to write her a number 1 hit. He hugged her and told her no. He said " You have the power to recreate yourself and be successful again. She went on to write Landslide after that. Good friends oftentimes know you better than you know yourself.
Landslide is from 1975, the eponymous Fleetwood Mac album right after she and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band. She didn't know Tom at that point. The Heartbreakers recorded their first album in 1976.
I think this was in the 90s when she was struggling with writers block from being on Klonopin. I don't know what song it was, but definitely not Landslide!
Tom was always hesitant to write songs for her. He wrote Insider for her and then couldn't let her have it. She got this from him and he took the beginnings of Don't Come Around Here No More from her. And as everybody else is saying Landslide was years before both her friendship with Tom and her drug problems
Stevie was a special guest at many Hearbreaker concerts. They made her an honorary member of the band. The live versions of her on stage with the band are great! Another song to check out, I Need to Know. The other commenters are correct, Stevie pairs up beautifully with anyone. I, also, encourage you to checkout all her collaborations. 😊
Stevie wanted to join the band but Tom nipped that in the bud. He said there were no women in the Heartbreakers. When she asked again, he said, there are no women in the Heartbreakers. There were no women in the Heartbreakers....
Tom Petty once said that he & the Hwartbreakers had adopted a little sister, Stevie loved Tom and said once she wanted to leave Fleetwood Mac and join the Heartbreakers. When she went solo, she begged Tom to write a song for her to sing...they collaborated on more than one song .....have a listen to Insider another Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty classic. Mission accomplished for the day! 😁 Love the Woodstock Wednesday idea, and hope you'll consider a Psychedelic Saturday idea!!! Peace & love from St. Isidore, Ontario Canada🙏❤
@@lemurvision Yeah, was that the one when she met him in some restaurant in ‘94 to ask him to write a song due to no motivation and he told her to do it herself?
Stevie really wanted to work with Tom Petty and after a while he agreed. They made a few songs at that time--for his and her albums. This one was on her album and why her voice is more featured. *Insider* from Petty's Hard Promises album is the other duet and you hear his voice more. It's really beautiful. I think it would be a great follow up to this reaction
@@johnharding7650 Sorry, no it is not 'world.' The song is about his inability/unwillingness to commit to the woman and just strings her along. He buckles under the weight of love/commitment.
She has two more songs with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Run to You Insider. - This one is beautiful. Seldom done by reactors, no idea why, but they're missing out. There is one of them live, when they were older.
I saw TP & Heartbreakers in early 80's live at the forum in l.a. and Stevie was a guest and they performed this song turned out to be highlight of the show.
Great song. They both have so many good songs. For other good duets, you need to listen to Elton John and George Michael Don't Let the sun go down on me and George Michael and Aretha Franklin I knew you were waiting for me. Both of those duets really feed off each other
I grew up wishing Stevie was looking just at me. 🙂 Her and Tom and his band were really good friends. They called Stevie their little sister. She often did guest appearances at their concerts. You should do some earlier Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Don't Do Me Like That Breakdown Refugee... ...and many others. His later stuff is good like Mary Jane, etc., but his early stuff is great.
I'm old enough to remember MTV playing the hell out of this video. Even as a kid I really liked how they sounded together, and have been a lifelong fan of both because of this song.
Please listen to “Silver spring” by Fleetwood Mac. Stevies voice will SLICE right thru you as she sings live with, and to, her ex, Lindsay Buckingham..
Thanks, Blexzy! Back at you! You can find the duo when they were young, and in later years. This is the younger version. At any age they're great, and they were very good friends.
Stevie and Tom where very dear friends. That's why they have so much chemistry. I love hearing her talk about him. She performed with the Heartbreakers often, and they made her an honorary Heartbreaker.
Stevie Nicks was very good friends with Tom and his first wife Jane. Jane like Tom was from Gainesville and she had a pretty pronounced Floridian southern accent. Stevie was shootin' the breeze with Jane one day and the subject of how time flies. Jane said I know,when I met Tom I was at the age of seventeen. Well due to her accent Stevie heard it as "The EDGE of seventeen". They had a good laugh about it but the words "The edge of seventeen" just kept rolling around in Stevie's head. That's where the song "The edge of seventeen" came from.
Stevie LOVED performing with Tom and wanted to be in the Heartbreakers. Tom said in an interview that he loved his collaborations with Stevie,, but there were "no girls in his band." (although he did occasionally have female backup singers on tour)
Petty and Nicks do another duet on one of his albums (this song is her album). It’s called “Insider”. Beautiful song, their voices mesh so well together.
Practically Stevie Nicks and the Heartbreakers! I loved Stevie Nicks in the 80s, and Tom Petty! My friend and I rocked to this song when it came out. Her debut solo album had a ton of hits!
They do another song together called needles and pins , it’s live on pack up the plantation, it’s a really great song, Stevie nicks was an honorary heartbreaker
Stevie was born in my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. I'm not sure where she lives now, but she lived in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley until 2007. She's arguably the most famous musician ever to come from Arizona.
This was Stevie Nicks' first Top 40 hit as a solo artist outside of Fleetwood Mac. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1981. Having her sing with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is a true combination of talents working together.
Stevie does a couple other really cool duets with Don Henley (from Eagles) called "Leather and Lace" and with Kenny Loggins called "Whenever I Call You Friend"
Powerful stuff and Stevie is on top form and Tom is, well, Tom. The Heartbreakes are also such a great band. Proper musicians. Stevie's solo albums are well worth checking out
This song was on fire. It’s from her first solo album Bella Donna. When she looks in the camera 📷 I still get heated all over. This is her biggest solo charting hit. Billboard number two
Tom & Stevie did several duets: "Needles & Pins", "The Apartment Song", "Insider", "I Need to Know", "Learning to Fly", "Don't Come Around Here No More", "I Will Run To You" ect... All of them are great! 😋
I absolutely second Whenever I Call You Friend. And more Kenny Loggins in general. He has such an amazing song catalogue Footloose, This is It, Nobody's Fool, Forever, Heaven Helps the Man (I'm Free), I'm Alright, Meet Me Halfway, Heart to Heart are all MUST listens. Hugs from Canada!
Stevie Nicks' "debut" solo album, "Bella Donna" is a wonderful work that flows so well from first track to the last one. If you can find her "White Wing Dove" concert that was shown on HBO back in the early 80s, I recommend giving it a watch! She and her band did a fantastic job on that show.
I loved this song the very first time I heard it! It didn’t even have to grow on me! I absolutely love it. You should check out some of Linda Ronstadt’s amazing duets with Jame Ingram, Aaron Neville, Smokey Robinson, Chuck Berry, and many others! Great reaction 🌺✌️
The song was written by Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. The person responsible for this collaboration was producer Jimmy Iovine. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers had recovered the original track, and Iovine suggested that Stevie Nicks try singing over it. What I didn't know until I just looked was that the bass was played by Duck Dunn.
Jimmy was secretly dating Stevie (they didn't tell anyone) and he not only convinced Tom to give the song to Stevie, but also convinced him (and the Heartbreakers) to play on it. Its a funny story to hear from Jimmy and Tom themselves ( I can't remember if it was on The "Defiant Ones", or the " Running Down a Dream" documentary
Other duets with Stevie are "Whenever I call you friend" with Kenny Loggins, "Leather and lace" with Don Henley (Eagles), "Can't get enough" with B.B. King (she's background vocals but you still hear her voice), "Sorcerer" with Sheryl Crow, & "Cheaper than free" with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics).
If I’m not mistaken, from what I read in an interview, Stevie approached Toms wife about the two of them collaborating. Stevie and Toms wife are the ones that made this happen. I grew up in the 70s and 80s listening to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie. She is THE best! ❤
When Stevie went solo Mick Fleetwood told her that she would be back and that she would be a failure on her own. She ended up collaborating with some amazing people and produced some amazing solo work and proved that she was a songwriting dynamo and the true pulse of Fleetwood Mac. Although she did reunite with Fleetwood Mac on several occasions to tour, her solo career and songs produced as such remain the most iconic
Two such unique and iconic voices that melded perfectly. Stevie and Tom also had such a great long lasting friendship. Well worth checking out their lesser known duets - “I Will Run to You”, which is just a total vibe, and the beautiful ballad “Insider”.
Now Ya gotta react to Leather and Lace. A duet with Stevie and Don Henley from the Eagles. Omg it's such a beautiful Song, done by Beautiful Artists. Keep Rockin us Amber and Jay. Much Love from California Kat ❤
There’s a live version of Tom Petty’s “Learning to Fly” with Stevie that is a MUST LISTEN! It’s an incredible acoustic version and the crowd singing the chorus at the end is the most beautiful thing you’ll ever hear. Instant goosebumps.
There was a live show in Tom's hometown of Gainesville Fla where she joins him and the band for several songs including this one .You may want to check that out too!
Stevie was dating Tom's manager and really really really wanted to do a duet with Tom. Tom wasn't feeling it (he says so in interviews "we didn't know what Stevie wanted".). So his manager talked him into thinking this song (already written) was more from a woman's perspective and he would share this one with Stevie. He wasn't thrilled, but obviously they became lifelong friends until his sad passing. Stevie decided she wanted a duet with Tom and she made it happen. Love that woman to pieces.
I remember when this song came out and it pretty much overshadowed the album that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released. Hard Promises has another Stevie and Tom duet Insider on it plus A Woman in Love (It's not Me), The Waiting, and Letting You Go. Please react to more Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers especially A Woman in Love.
Stevie wanted to be in Tom Petty's band and be a Heartbreaker, but the rule had always been "no girls". He called her an honorary Heartbreaker. They were very close friends. Should read up on their history and her words after his passing. Much Love and Peace!!
Stevie Nicks has 2 other awesome duets: "Leather and Lace" with Don Henley (Eagles) and "Whenever I Call You Friend" with Kenny Loggins.
I hereby second both of these nominations. Great tunes.
Those are both awesome suggestions!
Don't forget Gold by Jonathan Stewart!🤘
@@davemcbroom695 Exactly.
Don't forget "Magnet & Steel" with Walter Egan (1978) went to #8 on Billboard chart
When he was still with us, Tom Petty used to refer to Stevie as an "honorary Heartbreaker". Definitely need to follow this up with her duet with Don Henley of the Eagles"Leather and Lace".
Yes, Leather and Lace!!
I 2nd that notion, those are my 2 favorite duets, not counting those done with Lindsay Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac.
Yeah
And who can forget the classic "Magnet and Steel" she did with Walter Egan. And John Stewart's "Gold" that used her backing vocals.
And “Whenever I Call You Friend “ with Kenny Loggins
Tom wrote this song, but let Stevie release it because he knew her voice would really sell it.
Don't think he knew Stevie was going to release it before him.
'81-'82 was a really great time for music.
Another vote for Leather and Lace, Stevie and Don Henley of The Eagles. One of the greatest rock duets ever.
Leather and Lace is one of my least favorites by her. I am a giant Stevie fan. Just not that one song. My Dad wanted to name me Stevie after her. 🤍💯🙌
❤️ Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins - Whenever I Call You Friend
Another great collaboration is Stevie Nicks and Don Henley, their song "Leather and Lace" is beautiful.
Agreed. Stevie nicks best collaboration for sure is Leather and Lace with Don Henley
Yes. Great song!!
That's Eagles drummer, Don Henley for those who may not know. He sings "Hotel California".
She wrote Leather and Lace for Waylon Jennings and Jesse Colton and they didn't record it!
And they were in fact a couple when that song was recorded.
Ahhhh, to be 11 years old again. I was 11 when this came out….a summer night at the carnival with this song playing.
Need to check out more Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! They dominated the charts late 70’s 80’s beyond RIP
Jay- I have heard this song a million times- I hear more Stevie. It isn't much duo is it? Exactly. I got burned out on Stevie in t h e 80s. Christine McPhee ( sp) has a great voice and never got the recognition unfortunately. Try the Don Henley one. Don gets some time in on the song.
Yes. American Girl, Even The Losers, Here Comes My Girl, Refugee, Don’t Do Me Like That, I Need To Know, You Got Lucky, The Waiting
So many songs
I love how Stevie gives him "the stare-down look" towards the end of the song after she sings "you need someone looking after you". Priceless!
What makes the song so good is that their voices are so distinctive. This was a big hit back in the day. Stevie was solo at the time so it kept her out there.
She was still in Fleetwood Mac. This was between albums by them.
Right. This was after Tusk but before Mirage I believe
@@matthewdrake4385 Yes. Tusk was 1979, Fleetwood Mac Live was 1980. Bella Donna was 1981 and Mirage was 1982.
Listen, I’m 54 years old grew up listening to Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, etc. This is in my opinion one of the best songs this song is so bad ass! I have a 15 year old daughter. she knows this song by heart.!

This takes me right back to the 1980s. Tom Petty was such a great songwriter and Stevie did a few good duets. Try Leather and Lace with Don Henley.
When Stevie Nicks was recording the Bells Donna album it just so happened there were other artists recording in the same studio. One was Tom Petty. The song wasn't intended to be a duet but I am glad it was!! You should check out Leather & Lace . Actually the whole album is great!!

Netflix Documentary- The Defiant Ones 👌
Oh my goodness guys love this song it is strong and beautiful
2 absolute Legends at the top of their game.
“Leather and Lace” by Stevie and Don Henley.. Amazing…
One of my all time favortite songs and videos. RIP Tom Petty :(
TP is a musical genius. He surrounded himself with high quality musicians. Mike Campbell on guitar is hands down one of the best in music. Benmont Trench on keyboards was classically trained. There's a great documentary ABOUT TP and the band. "Running down a dream" gives you the complete history of the band.
Mike is highly underrated. He's never been flashy and never played 10 notes when 3 would do.
Mike Campbell has been on so many records by so many artists, his work record is amazing!
I believe Mike helped write the Henley song Boys of Summer.
@@matthewdrake4385 According to Wikipedia, Don wrote the lyrics and Mike wrote the music.
@@matthewdrake4385 he wrote the music for a few Stevie songs too. Can't remember names. He's been one of my heroes for as long as I can remember
They did another duet together that's not as well known. More of a ballad, acoustic with very emotional deliveries. "Insider", from the album "Hard Promises."
I love Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, but Insider is THE Tom and Stevie duet for me, esp the live version-- love it SOOOOO much!!! 🤩
Also a song named "I Will Run to You" from her Wild Heart album... and oddly never again on any more albums ...
@@wrldchamps04 I'm glad somebody mentioned that one -- I actually like "I Will Run To You" better than "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"
Is there a video of them performing Insider live?
@@jpkillibrew1638 ruclips.net/video/FvV5C24PC9M/видео.html
Leather and Lace and Whenever I Call You Friend - great duets!
They were great friends for decades. Each would pop in at the other's concerts and join in. I forget exactly what she said, but when Tom died, Stevie wrote a very touching "goodbye".
I agree with everyone's suggestions for other Stevie duets. Also, I think you would like Elton John and Kiki Dee "Don't Go Breaking my Heart"
They did Kiki Dee solo. I think they'd really like this.
Good suggestion. J & Amber would like that one for sure.
A classic! Good suggestion
That was one of the great rock duets. Stevie has another great one with Don Henley of the Eagles called "Leather and Lace".
Stevie Nicks - Rooms on Fire!
This one and Mary Jane's last dance are my favorite Tom Pretty songs. He was a man of integrity and a good friend in spite of his own problems.

Landslide is from 1975, the eponymous Fleetwood Mac album right after she and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band. She didn't know Tom at that point. The Heartbreakers recorded their first album in 1976.
Yeah, you must mean some other song because the timing of your story definitely doesn't fit Landslide.
I think this was in the 90s when she was struggling with writers block from being on Klonopin. I don't know what song it was, but definitely not Landslide!
Tom was always hesitant to write songs for her. He wrote Insider for her and then couldn't let her have it. She got this from him and he took the beginnings of Don't Come Around Here No More from her. And as everybody else is saying Landslide was years before both her friendship with Tom and her drug problems
@@Ash-ii3nm It was that advice from him that started her writing the Trouble in Shangri La album.

Tom Petty's best and my favorite.
"You could never look me in the eye
You buckle with the weight of the word"
Weight of the world
@@johnharding7650 Sorry, no it is not 'world.' The song is about his inability/unwillingness to commit to the woman and just strings her along. He buckles under the weight of love/commitment.
Stevie Nicks and Don Henley-Leather and Lace..beautiful song!
She has two more songs with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers.
Run to You
Insider. - This one is beautiful. Seldom done by reactors, no idea why, but they're missing out. There is one of them live, when they were older.
I love both of those songs so much!
💯on Insider
Thank you for mentioning Insider. Those lyrics are so amazing. I like it the best of all the duets mentioned become. Just not a radio hit I guess
Insider is one of my absolute favorite songs EVER!!!
I Will Run to You is a true hidden gem....

Refugee...
...and many others. His later stuff is good like Mary Jane, etc., but his early stuff is great.
Every guy back then wanted to BE Tom, and was infatuated with Stevie! (myself included!)
Stevie and Tom !! My favorite collab ever !!
Stevie also did a song with Don Henley from the Eagles called Leather and Lace
they both have a very vulnerable sound to their voices
I'm old enough to remember MTV playing the hell out of this video. Even as a kid I really liked how they sounded together, and have been a lifelong fan of both because of this song.

Blast from the past!!! Forgot this song until now!!! Thanks!!
Was a banger then.......
STILL is now!
Incomparable pairing.
Glad you guys enjoyed it ☮️❤️
That whiskey voice! So powerful so smooth!!
Petty and Nicks do another duet on one of his albums (this song is her album). It’s called “Insider”. Beautiful song, their voices mesh so well together.
Oh man. I had totally forgotten about this great song. Thanks for the memories! That's the good stuff, right there. 👍
They do another duet called The Insider which is gorgeous. Sigh...I loved Tom soo much.
The best singer and beautiful woman. Stevie Nicks rocks, baby!! 🖤

Such a BEAUTIFUL Duet !!!! Music like this wiil never be produced again. Love You reaction guys !! xoxoxo Miss You SO MUCH TOM PETTY !!!!!!! xoxox RIP
They do another song together called needles and pins , it’s live on pack up the plantation, it’s a really great song, Stevie nicks was an honorary heartbreaker
Always loved this song. So glad you found it.
I love Stevie Nicks!!! Great song!!!
Stevie was born in my hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. I'm not sure where she lives now, but she lived in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley until 2007. She's arguably the most famous musician ever to come from Arizona.
Linda Ronstadt is from Tuscan.
They did another duet at the same time, "Insider," which wasn't a single but is great. And "Needles and Pins", a live cover, is also good.
Stevie Nicks, beautiful lady, then she sings , goddess
Put together with Stevie Nicks, amazing
Stevie at her best, loved the early 80’s with her concert White Wing Dove.. best concert to watch ... still to this day doesn’t age
Songs like this one make me wish and hope that music like this will return some day soon.
This was Stevie Nicks' first Top 40 hit as a solo artist outside of Fleetwood Mac. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1981. Having her sing with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is a true combination of talents working together.
Very true, Amber. Those Stevie looks!! Looks like the Heart Breakers backing them up.
Stevie does a couple other really cool duets with Don Henley (from Eagles) called "Leather and Lace" and with Kenny Loggins called "Whenever I Call You Friend"
BTW, that's Tom's Band the Heartbreakers playing. Rock Royalty. R.est I.n P.ower Tom. Much Much Love from California Kat ❤
Powerful stuff and Stevie is on top form and Tom is, well, Tom. The Heartbreakes are also such a great band. Proper musicians. Stevie's solo albums are well worth checking out
This song was on fire. It’s from her first solo album Bella Donna. When she looks in the camera 📷 I still get heated all over. This is her biggest solo charting hit. Billboard number two
Tom Petty wrote, “Stop Dragging My Heart Around” for Stevie. Awesome song, one of my favorites. ❤️
I love you guys I finally got to see that baby I love the whole family you guys seem to have it together
Tom & Stevie did several duets: "Needles & Pins", "The Apartment Song", "Insider", "I Need to Know", "Learning to Fly", "Don't Come Around Here No More", "I Will Run To You" ect... All of them are great! 😋
I read that she wanted to join the band!
Stevie Nicks, AMAZING. Tom Petty, OUTSTANDING. Together UNTOPPABLE!!!
Stevie Nicks has also done a duet with Chris Issac. An old song - Red River Valley.
I think it's fabulous!
I absolutely second Whenever I Call You Friend. And more Kenny Loggins in general. He has such an amazing song catalogue Footloose, This is It, Nobody's Fool, Forever, Heaven Helps the Man (I'm Free), I'm Alright, Meet Me Halfway, Heart to Heart are all MUST listens. Hugs from Canada!
One of my favorite male vocalists!! He still sounds great! His voice is unreal. 👌🏼👍🏼 (that falsetto on Heart to Heart always gets me!)

Other duets with Stevie are "Whenever I call you friend" with Kenny Loggins, "Leather and lace" with Don Henley (Eagles), "Can't get enough" with B.B. King (she's background vocals but you still hear her voice), "Sorcerer" with Sheryl Crow, & "Cheaper than free" with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics).
If I’m not mistaken, from what I read in an interview, Stevie approached Toms wife about the two of them collaborating.
Stevie and Toms wife are the ones that made this happen.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s listening to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie. She is THE best! ❤
When Stevie went solo Mick Fleetwood told her that she would be back and that she would be a failure on her own. She ended up collaborating with some amazing people and produced some amazing solo work and proved that she was a songwriting dynamo and the true pulse of Fleetwood Mac. Although she did reunite with Fleetwood Mac on several occasions to tour, her solo career and songs produced as such remain the most iconic
Tom & Stevie were great friends.. she said if he would have asked her to join the Heartbreakers, she would have in a minute.
Two such unique and iconic voices that melded perfectly. Stevie and Tom also had such a great long lasting friendship. Well worth checking out their lesser known duets - “I Will Run to You”, which is just a total vibe, and the beautiful ballad “Insider”.
Now Ya gotta react to Leather and Lace. A duet with Stevie and Don Henley from the Eagles. Omg it's such a beautiful Song, done by Beautiful Artists. Keep Rockin us Amber and Jay. Much Love from California Kat ❤
There’s a live version of Tom Petty’s “Learning to Fly” with Stevie that is a MUST LISTEN! It’s an incredible acoustic version and the crowd singing the chorus at the end is the most beautiful thing you’ll ever hear. Instant goosebumps.
I totally agree. You can feel the love from that crowd!
Ditto.
There was a live show in Tom's hometown of Gainesville Fla where she joins him and the band for several songs including this one .You may want to check that out too!
Stevie’s duet with Don Henley”leather and lace” is wonderful. Stevie and Don were exes.
Stevie was dating Tom's manager and really really really wanted to do a duet with Tom. Tom wasn't feeling it (he says so in interviews "we didn't know what Stevie wanted".).
So his manager talked him into thinking this song (already written) was more from a woman's perspective and he would share this one with Stevie. He wasn't thrilled, but obviously they became lifelong friends until his sad passing.
Stevie decided she wanted a duet with Tom and she made it happen. Love that woman to pieces.
I have to second Stevie's duet with Kenny Loggins, "Whenever I Call You Friend." A classic from 1978.
Continue on the rabbit hole of Stevie Nicks solo career…will not disappoint
I remember when this song came out and it pretty much overshadowed the album that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released. Hard Promises has another Stevie and Tom duet Insider on it plus A Woman in Love (It's not Me), The Waiting, and Letting You Go. Please react to more Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers especially A Woman in Love.
YES YES YES TWO OF THE GREATEST EVER!!!!
Stevie wanted to be in Tom Petty's band and be a Heartbreaker, but the rule had always been "no girls". He called her an honorary Heartbreaker. They were very close friends. Should read up on their history and her words after his passing. Much Love and Peace!!
Really good classic duets.🌴✌️
