Stevie has inspired a raft of musicians across genres, genders, continents, and generations, and remains as relevant a cultural and musical force now as she has ever been. Sure, she has cemented her reputation as a cultural icon in recent years – there are the TV appearances ( American Horror Story), the appropriation of her distinctive look in drag culture (the annual Night of a Thousand Stevies in New York, Thorgy Thor on RuPaul’s Drag Race), and recent collaborations with Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift – but you cannot survive for half a century in the music business without a core foundation of songs that resonate with the human experience. Whether she is singing tender ballads, titanic rock epics, or harmonising on some of pop music’s most enduring and sensitive hits, Stevie’s reputation is founded on her inherent musicality and relatable musings on life, love, and loss.
