And I just thought you might wanna know.’ That was three months into a 13-month album. So I lost Mick, which honestly wasn’t that big of a deal because that was a rocky relationship.”

Sara Recor Was The Inspiration For A Hit Song

Sara Recor’s friend Stevie Nicks wrote a hit song titled “Sara“. The song is said to be a song partially written about her friend, Sara Recor. In an interview, Stevie shared: “I remember the night I wrote it. I sat up with a very good friend of mine whose name is Sara, who was married to Mick Fleetwood. She likes to think it’s completely about her, but it’s really not completely about her.”

“It’s about me, about her, about Mick, about Fleetwood Mac. It’s about all of us at that point. There’s little bits about each one of us in that song and when it had all the other verses, it really covered a vast bunch of people. ‘Sara’ was the kind of song you could fall in love with because I fell in love with it.” However, Stevie Nicks’ ex-boyfriend musician Don Henley claimed that the song is about their unborn child.
