Stevie Nicks Breaks Out as a Solo Force on Bella Donna 1981 Album Features Extraordinary Vocal Performances and Four Hits, Including 'Edge of Seventeen' and 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around'Experience the Quadruple-Platinum Record's Spontaneous Feel, Raw Emotions, and Organic Arrangements in Transparent Sound on Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACDStevie Nicks had much to prove when she stepped out on her own for the first time and crafted Bella Donna.
