WHO IS STEVIE NICKS?

Stevie Nicks was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a second time. She was inducted in 1998 as a member of Fleetwood Mac, and in 2019 as a solo artist. At the time, Nicks told CBS Sunday Morning that she felt like she had broken a glass ceiling. As a prolific songwriter, she may break another one if she is inducted a third time for the hit songs she penned.

In 2021, Carole King was inducted a second time as a solo performer, after being inducted in 1990 with Gerry Goffin for the hits they co-wrote. Tina Turner was also inducted in 2021 as a solo performer, after her first time in 1991 as lead singer of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. See Wikipedia’s Multiple Inductees chart for all the guys.
