Let's keep in mind that Stevie has NEVER won a Grammy for her SOLO career AND only one (1) Grammy with Fleetwood Mac. She has yet to be considered for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a SOLO artist (which I feel she should be). OF all of her solo singles, only about 4 have made it into the Billboard Top 10 Pop Chart. She's never won an American Music Award (or even been nominated that many times, for that matter). There was a time in the early 80's when it was very difficult to find Stevie on TV (other than music videos). For her first 4 solo albums, she never made appearances on "The Tonight Show with Carson/Leno", "Late Show with Letterman", or any other avenue of that nature. I nearly freaked out when she FINALLY appeared on "Arsenio Hall" in 91. In fact, I don't think she made it to the Letterman show until 1998. That is an utter disregard for promotion. Yes, some of it may have been her own choice, OR just a poor promotion team behind her. If her first 4 solo albums had been marketed better, I think she would have had more Top 10 hits, awards and recognition. I think "The Wild Heart" had the potential to sell about 6-8 million units. Instead, it fizzled out after the second single (which only made it to number 14). Where was the promotion team? Probably getting high and throwing money out the window.

Great points. Stevie was on Letterman for Street Angel. I think she performed Blue Denim.

I've always wanted Stevie to have a grand website, filled with streaming audio, all of her video content, exploding at the seams with photographs, and an online store with shirts, lithographs, soundboard recordings and other exclusive audio recordings.
