As talented as Dave Stewart is, he's not the kind of producer who is capable of pushing Stevie to that recognition level.

I see your point, but I think she would have at least eeked out one nomination, maybe for vocal performance, if she had submitted something else (FWIW is a good example.) I LOVE Soldier's Amgel, but her voice is pretty nasally & I wouldn't say it's her best vocal performance on the album.
