was that the first song you heard off the "Rock A Little" album??

.. that could explain the reason why you weren't sure

No, but the first time I heard a boot from Mirage tour her voice broke my heart because reflected so much sadness.

Yeah, that was the first song I heard off of RAL--it was an advanced copy and I was well, kinda shocked!

The first time I heard WICYF I was yelling to my boyfriend "That is Stevie Nicks" but I had to run upstairs to check on the net. I came down and he was like "well duh". The first time I heard "Gold" I KNEW but it took me going home to get Enchanted to prove it!

Other than that, on FM or solo stuff, I always know. Its too recognisable a voice to miss!

I don't think I've ever not recognized her voice......I remember arguing with a friend when Whenever I Call You Friend was popular and on the radio a lot---she was convinced that it wasn't Stevie--I of course proved her wrong

I was just over at the Nicksfix and saw that Stevie sung backing vocals on Todd Rundgren's "Hello It's Me"! One of my favorite songs, and I never even knew...

The metals must have thrown me off

I don't think I've ever been confused about her voice, but I have heard some people thinking Bonnie Tyler is Stevie (Total Eclipse of the Heart, etc), which is jus' silly!

I don't think there has ever been a time that I didn't recognize Stevie's voice. It is sooo distinctive that I know it right off. It's so unique; that is one of the reasons I love her voice.

Her voice has always been very, very identifiable to me. First time I heard Whenever I Call You Friend, I nearly flipped out, cause I had no idea she had sung on any other duets that L&L and SDMHA (this was many eons ago, when I had just discovered Stevie), and I was sooooooo sure it was her. It took some research (before the age of internet) and I was so thrilled when I found out it WAS her. Same with when I heard Gold and Midnight Wind. When I was a teen and still living at home (ah, those were the days), I used to go to sleep with my radio on, and I actually used to wake up whenever a Stevie song came on. Talk about my ear being tuned in to her voice. Was very weird.

same here! i can identify her voice even if the sound is turned so low that no one else even notices music playing... i'll randomly be in the middle of a phone conversation in the car go "hold on a sec, i gotta turn up the radio" and then sure enough, it's her... it's like some strange sound wavelength that i'm totally tuned into.... or i'll be dead asleep with the alarm clock going full blast for 10 or 15 minutes (people that know me know that i have a terrible problem with alarm clocks and waking up in general... i need three or four of them hidden around the room and going at full blast for me to sort of wake up) and i won't wake up at all... but then a song like landslide will just barely start the opening notes and i'm wide awake and sitting up in bed. i'll smile and go "g'morning stevie!" and get up. or if it's a fleetwood mac song i'll go "g'morning guys!" and get up. yeah. i'm a dork. i admit it.

Whenever I Call You Friend and Magnet and Steel.

I had no clue until Enchanted for WICYF, and about 2 years ago I learned about Magnet and Steel.

Now, I can't believe I didn't recognize her voice before.

OMG. Me too! Exactly. Everything you said.

I think in Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" it sounds like Stevie singing that line. Sometimes I wonder if they made it sound like her on purpose.

Either that or they duplicated her voice with a combo of other people.

You know that's Sharon signing the backing vocal on that track? Maybe that's why it reminds you of Stevie.

That's possible. Sharon should be using her natural voice though, instead of imitating SN. lol.
