1976: Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" Rings Like A Bell Through Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks "Rhiannon" Takes To The Sky Like A Bird In Flight Celebrating It's 40th Anniversary!

 

Fleetwood Mac unleash their wicked single "Rhiannon" in 1976, and watch as is it taken by the wind to the top of the charts. Originally appearing on their 1975 self titled album, the song would be released the next year and climb to an astonishing #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Stevie Nicks has always ruled her life like a fine skylark, even when the sky was starless. She is a true Rock Rebelle icon, as she is a master of instrument, a song writing extraordinaire, and her voice, her voice, her voice. Oh my gracious, one more time, her voice! It is like no other, it's like a promise of heaven! Carry on to see it live!!!


It has been said that Stevie Nicks would put on quite the performance of "Rhiannon" in it's day. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform this song live not too long ago, and the same can still be said. I sat there watching my dreams unwind, listening to Stevie flawlessly singing like a cat in the dark, as if she were the darkness. Witness for yourself....


I have to put another live performance on here, the quality is not as good, but my word, the ending, it's surreal. Stevie Nicks is hypnotic to watch, her voice, her beauty, the way she commands the stage. If love's a state of mind, i would love to love her! Safe to say "Rhiannon" has won.


Stevie Nicks is a "3 Level Rebelle" this year. With inclusion to "Rhiannon" in 1976, she released a solo smash hit in 1986, followed by some awesome soundtrack contributions in 1996. Be sure to stay tuned, as i will soon be covering those gems! In closing, the original studio version of Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon".
