Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.

How Stevie Nicks uses that range
Breath is part of the tone, not a flaw in it: air rides through every note and creates the huskiness. Onsets are soft, consonants get swallowed, and phrases lean slightly behind the beat. Vibrato is wide and slow, and it usually arrives late in a sustain. Everything sits in chest voice inside a narrow band, so colour has to come from texture. The instinct is to tighten the throat to manufacture that texture, when the sound depends on staying loose.
