the story behind the story: who really commissioned "Leather and Lace" and why Stevie Nicks and Don Henley perform, meanemotion=grace

A song that exudes grace is called “Leather and Lace” by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. In the liner notes of the CD: The best of Stevie Nicks: TIMESPACE, she writes:
“I wrote this song because Waylon Jennings called me up and asked me to write a song called ‘Leather and Lace.’ It was to be a duet for him and his wife, and I worked very hard trying to explain what it was like to be in love with someone in the same business, and how to approach dealing with each other. It’s probably the hardest thing in the world to do because it falls out of your hands and into the hands of the world, which tends you not be able to handle it. I have to tell you now that Mr. Don Henley was pretty much responsible for this song because he came over every other day to either start over, or that I was right on track, and he made me finish it (because I almost gave up many times). When it was finally finished, don and I made a very simple demo of it…he sang it with me and it was…truly wonderful. And then I found out that Waylon and Jessi were breaking up, and Waylon wanted to just sing it by himself. After all the work I had put inito the philosophy of two people dealing with this problem, I told Waylon that only four people in the world could sing this song: he and his wife, or myself and Don Henley. Don and I had been going out quite awhile, and, bless his heart, he did sing it with me, and, again, as fate would have it…it became one of the most special love songs that I would ever write…and remains that today, after all these years. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, as was he…Blame it on my wild heart. -Bella Donna…1981”

Stevie Nicks, "If Anyone Falls," meanemotion=enthusiasm. Stevie: "I was falling out of one love and into another, nothing else mattered"

Stevie Nicks is one of the more mysterious musicians of the 20th century. Her catalogue is large, with virtually every sub-genre withing pop music eventually getting a chance.
The song "If Anyone Falls In Love, " composed by Stevie Nicks and Sandy Stewart, is a fantastically fantastic 1980s song.
This is what the artist herself says about the song on the liner notes from the CD 'The Best of Stevie Nicks- Time Space':
"Inspired by Waddy Wachtel. There was a time when I was falling out of one love into another, when nothing else seemed to matter except this person. I adored him...he was everything I wanted to be: a real rock and roller...and a lover of the Stones...small and frail sometimes, but in many ways the strongest person I had ever known. His word was law. I became him, he became me, but his spirit twin never leaves him. I think sometimes I liked being on stage just to watch him. It was music combined with love, combined with the fact that when Waddy was beside me, I felt completely safe. It is my great sorrow that we are no longer on stage together, but it is my great joy that he always seems to be with me, even after all this time. 'Love is a word that some entertain...If you have found it, then you have won the game...' --The Wild Heart, 1983.

The musical lineup:
Russ Kunkel-drums
Roy Bittan-synthesizer
Bob Glaub-bass
Bobbye Hall-percussion
Sharon Celani-background vocals
Lori Perry Nicks-background vocals
Carolyn Brooks-background vocals

The song was produced by Jimmy Iovine engineered by Shelly Yakus and re-mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. The song is copyrighted 1982 by Welsh Witch Music/Three Hearts Music (ASCAP).
