Today on the 80s countdown this week in 1982 Gypsy was at its peak at #12. Ironically a song from the Fast Times soundtrack, Jackson Browne's Somebody's Baby was at #13. It made me think that one of Stevie's best songs was given to a teenage comedy movie that was sort of lost. But back then the cutting room floor even for Bella Donna was full of gems. Alan Hunter said something that I necessarily dont believe. He said that Gypsy was supposed to be on Bella Donna but she "purposely" yanked it to give to Fleetwood Mac. Has anyone heard that before? I find that odd since there were many songs that were supposed to be on Bella Donna but they had to limit to 10. No doubt it was a demo that could have been on Bella Donna but with the intent of its so special it needs to go to the Mac seems a bridge too far.
