The album's final track, " Beauty and the Beast", features a full string section performing a score arranged and conducted by Paul Buckmaster. Nicks also worked with friend Sandy Stewart, who wrote the music for three tracks on the album and performed on several (Stewart would go on to write the 1987 Fleetwood Mac hit " Seven Wonders"). Toto's Steve Lukather contributed some of the guitar work on what would become the album's biggest hit single, " Stand Back", which also features an uncredited contribution from Prince, who played the synthesizer track. Nicks' Fleetwood Mac bandmate, Mick Fleetwood, made an appearance on the track "Sable on Blonde". Tom Petty made a return to write " I Will Run to You", on which his bandmates from The Heartbreakers performed. The album is notable for its array of prominent guest musicians. The album has shipped 2 million copies in the US alone. It peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 (for seven consecutive weeks) and achieved platinum status on September 12, 1983. After the death of her best friend, Robin Anderson, and with new appreciation for her life and career, Nicks recorded the album in only a few months and was released on June 10, 1983, a year after Fleetwood Mac's Mirage album. Recording began in late 1982, shortly after the end of Fleetwood Mac's Mirage Tour.
The Wild Heart is the second solo studio album by American singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks.
