The song, \u201cLeather and Lace,\u201d<\/a>  was a duet with Nicks\u2019 ex, Eagles legend Don Henley<\/strong>, whom she dated in the late 1970s following her split from bandmate Lindsey Buckingham<\/a><\/strong>. The single peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> in January 1982.  Decades later, Ultimate Classic Rock<\/a> ranked \u201cLeather and Lace\u201d one of the greatest rock duets of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicks and Henley beautifully traded verses in \u201cLeather and Lace\u201d as they intimately described the give and take in a romantic<\/a> relationship between two musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the liner notes<\/a> to her Timespace<\/em> compilation album, Nicks described the soft rock ballad as \u201cone of the most special love songs that I would ever write.\u201d She credited Henely for coming over every day to make her finish the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicks had originally penned the song for her good friend, country music<\/a> pioneer Waylon Jennings,<\/strong> to record with his wife Jessi Colter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen I found out that Waylon and Jessi were breaking up, and Waylon wanted to just sing it by himself,\u201d she revealed. \u201cAfter all the work I had put into the philosophy of two people dealing with this problem, I told Waylon that only four people in this world could sing this song: he and his wife, or myself and Don Henley. Bless his heart, Don did sing it with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
