Although they had their musical differences, Prince and Stevie Nicks greatly influenced one another’s work. Despite never stepping foot on stage or in a recording studio together, both artists’ careers are intertwined, and the Fleetwood Mac singer was the spark of inspiration he needed to make ‘When Doves Cry’.
Their relationship began when Nicks first heard Prince’s ‘Little Red Corvette’ on the car stereo while travelling with her then-husband Kim Anderson. It was the perfect circumstance to be introduced to the Purple One, and she immediately felt compelled to create a song of a similarly epic nature in ‘Stand Back’.
