Saw Bryan Adams last week in NYC and he mentioned he wrote a song "Let Me Down Easy" for Stevie Nicks but couldn't get the song to her. I never heard about it before, but it's a shame cause I could see her tear it up. Here is a clip of him performing it on his tour:

When Jim Vallance was asked about the track, he recalled that he wrote the song during January 1984 and that: "Adams and I originally wrote "Let Me Down Easy" for Stevie Nicks, but I don't know if she ever heard the song. Regardless, I thought Roger did a superb job."

The song reached #86 in the U.S. and #82 in Canada.

Why oh why don't she record that song? That is a great song and it was perfect for her. That could of been a hit for her. It's perfect for her voice.

it has been well established that Stevie was NOT in her right mind from 1984 till 1988 when it came to making wise career choices in songs and singles and producers. That is when she lost Jimmy and Mirror Mirror project.

And she lost her song writing ability. Her songs became ****. She needed songs like this and threw them away for slop.
