Most of the ones I know of have already been mentioned here. An interesting one I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Danny Goldberg’s book. He has a whole chapter about his time working around Stevie (and in turn) other members of FM in late 70s/early 80s. It’s primarily about founding Modern Records for her and the process behind creating Bella Donna. But there’s interesting little tidbits on her relationship with Mick as well (which was, according to DG, still a sore spot when she was beginning her solo ventures), and some of the dynamics of FM. I was pretty interested in the tale of how Iovine entered the picture as well. Was a quick, entertaining read. I think the book’s free on google books or something, I remember reading that whole chapter online.
