#28: Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty’s Musical Brotherhood, 1981
Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty shared more than just the stage; they shared an unparalleled musical camaraderie devoid of romance. Nicks, aspiring to join Petty’s band, The Heartbreakers, intertwined their talents in both live and studio collaborations.
“Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” is a testament to their friendship, a track Petty penned for his band but ultimately passed to Nicks, climbing to Billboard’s number 3. Shortly before Petty’s demise in 2017, Nicks was named an honorary Heartbreaker, sealing their bond.
