Sorcerer ~ Marilyn Martin {Stevie Nicks} "Streets of Fire"

'Sorcerer'
written by Stevie Nicks, performed by Marilyn Martin in 1984 for the "Streets of Fire" soundtrack, with Stevie singing backing vocals {this version has slight differences in the lyrics}

Stevie wrote this song back in the Buckingham Nicks days, though they only performed it live. It finally appeared on her 2001 "Trouble in Shangri-La" album.

The tarot card is "The Magician", from Buckland's Romani Tarot deck.

The pentacle is the cover of Pentangle's "Sweet Child" album.

@SilverWolfMoon thank you for the info would like to see this "street of Fire " and def. want to get the tarot card agree this is really a better version more passion and just different but awesome

[SilverWolfMoon]

@lilistarr767 The film is regarded as a 'cult classic', but personally I found it a let-down ~ it could have easily had another 30 minutes to really develop the plot.

The version that appears in the film is not this , it's performed by Laurie Sargent.

@dammedalucard If you read through all the comments, you would see that I already mentioned this a year ago:

The one in the actual film is sung by Laurie Sergeant, who sang lead on the two Fire Inc. songs 'Nowhere Fast' and 'Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young'.

This was done to maintain the continuity of the lead character's vocals.

I think this is the best version of this song. It's got power and passion and a sweet ferocity to it.

I agree, there is a slight difference between the actual movie version and the soundtrack, yet, this is one of my favorite 80's songs, and one of my favorite rock musicals!

[bernisweltredsun]

the whole soundtrack is a masterpiece,only a few ballads and rock can move me this way. i respect the genius. have a nice day,ppl

[Sheanicky]

I Absolutely LOVE this song! And I LOVE anything Stevie Nicks does but I do have to agree with many comments here... this version is the Best.. and the music here is Amazing. The Guitar is So Alive!

This is the best version of this song by far. Her voice takes this song to new places and the accompanient is great! Love it!
