Even via Zoom – from the Elizabethan manor house in Essex where she has lived since 1980 – Quatro is a force of nature, forthright and single-minded but warm and smiley.

She was doing 85-90 shows a year before lockdown put live performance into limbo. Her forthcoming solo album, The Devil in Me, due in March, will be her 18th. I could not look at any other woman and say: ‘That’s what I want to do.’ I blew the door down but, to be honest, I didn’t see the door. “I didn’t go out there to change the world,” she argues. Quatro insists this was all happenstance. And that was appropriate: if you loved Bella Donna, you would like The Wild Heart very much.Quatro (right) in the Pleasure Seekers. Nicks seemed to know what she was up to - one song was called 'Nothing Ever Changes.' As a result, The Wild Heart sold to the faithful - it made the Top Ten, sold over a million copies, and spawned three Top 40 hits ('Stand Back,' 'Nightbird,' and 'If Anyone Falls'). Elsewhere, the songs were largely interchangeable with those on Bella Donna, even down to the obligatory duet with Tom Petty.

His most daring effort was the album's leadoff single, 'Stand Back,' which boasted a disco tempo. Iovine did get a Mac-like sound on 'Nightbird,' in which Nicks repeated her invocation to 'the white winged dove' from Bella Donna's 'Edge of Seventeen,' and on 'Sable on Blond,' a 'Gypsy' soundalike.

As on Bella Donna, producer Jimmy Iovine took a simpler, more conventional pop/rock approach to the arrangements than Fleetwood Mac's inventive Lindsey Buckingham did on Nicks's songs, which meant the music was more straightforward than her typically elliptical lyrics. Not surprisingly, she played it safe: The Wild Heart contained nothing that would disturb fans of her previous work and much that echoed it. She was the most successful American female pop singer of the time. Stevie Nicks was following both her debut solo album, Bella Donna (1981), which had topped the charts, sold over a million copies (now over four million), and spawned four Top 40 hits, and Fleetwood Mac's Mirage (1982), which had topped the charts, sold over a million copies (now over two million), and spawned three Top 40 hits (including her 'Gypsy'), when she released her second solo album, The Wild Heart.
