Here at I Like Your Old Stuff it’s no secret that we LOVE all things Stevie Nicks! Her solid gold rendition of “Silent Night” on Top of the Pops in 1987 is a once a year treat guaranteed to kick off your festive season with plenty of warm and fuzzy feels.
Stevie Nicks fans are destined to fall in love with her all over again after watching this video, but for any first timers out there it’s a veritable Christmas miracle – prepare to be spellbound!
Most guests on the classic ’80s music-countdown shows, Solid Gold and Top of the Pops, lip-synched their performances. But not Stevie! She holds the honour of being one of the few artists to actually sing live on both shows … extremely rare for the time. So, enjoy this moment knowing there are no tricks or backing tracks, just 100% Stevie Nicks magic.
If you happen to be feeling overwhelmed by an impossible end of year To-do list, I’ll leave you with a random piece of Stevie wisdom to help you through the next few weeks.
“Stand up straight, put on your heels, and get out there and do stuff. I want to do a miniseries for the stories of Rhiannon and the gods of Wales, which I think would be this fantastic thing, but I don’t have to retire from being a rock star to go and do that. I can fit it all in.” – Stevie Nicks
