Leather And Lace (WORD)
Thanks to Arlene McIntosh for bringing this song to BUG! Arlene would like to lead it the same as the recording of Nicks performing the song solo on the James Corden show, with the lyrics changed to make it a solo and adding extra phrases, rather than the original 1981 recording which was a duet with Don Henley.
"Leather and Lace" was the second single from Nicks' solo debut studio album Bella Donna (1981). Nicks and Henley were romantically involved from 1977 until 1978. Nicks wrote the song for Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter's duet album Leather and Lace, but the song was not included. Jennings still intended to use the song for his solo work, while Nicks became attached to the idea of the song as a duet. Nicks' version, a duet with the Eagles' singer Don Henley, peaked at #6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in January 1982.
