Stevie Nix wrote Landslide in 1973. The song was first released on the album Fleetwood Mac was released in 1975. Stevie still sings it beautifully. I watched her sing it a year ago in Louisville, Kentucky.

Saturdays were cleaning day and this is one of many I remember my Sisters singing when they got a break. I can still see them, all wearing bandannas and using hairbrushes for microphones. Good times and great memories.....

Ok Mr Paul, I found it .
This was a fun get together , the theme was the 20's, and as you'll see everyone dressed the part. Some were asked to share a talent to the occasion , so I was happy to think of something a bit older . Since I used a recording from my music list , the singer can also be heard as an echo sometimes , but no one seemed to mind.
Since I don't sing as a professional anymore, it still is very enjoyable to contribute at events such as this, and other fun times . The owners of the house are from Romania , and they are amazing workers in all kinds of stone . The living room where I was at , in front of the massive fireplace, was perfect in acoustics , and even with all the people there, I did not need a mic . The song by Etta James is a lovely one indeed , and I did my best to do it justice .
Oh, I made sure to wear a collar of silver fox that night, right along with the style of so many not having a second thought to wearing fur in that era.

Ms Sharon, thank you so much for sharing that wonderful performance for our listening pleasure. I only wish there were more recordings to be heard. You are a multi-faceted artist with so much talent!

Thank you kindly, Mr Paul . Its all just practice , there's so many talented souls in the Tman Tribe . I'm just happy to be part of the cello section in the orchestra here
I recently picked up one of those cool go pro black 7 video cameras , and I surely will keep an eye out for future events of song and good cheer . Sure wish these were invented years ago , so easy and handy to video or take nice still shots .
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend . Life is good .

Hobby T, haven't heard that one in a while. Etta sure cashed in on a few, though. Glad you liked the other one, also , it was so fun. Means a lot from fellow musicians , too. That rendition of Blue Bayou , that Sir Ken shared , is also the same one that I sang in another group of talented ladies who had opera training.
