"Gypsy" is a song by the rock group Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks wrote the song originally circa 1979, and the earliest demo recordings were recorded in early 1980 with Tom Moncrieff for possible inclusion on her solo debut Bella Donna. However, when Nicks' friend Robin Anderson died of leukemia, the song took on a new inspiration and Nicks held it over for Fleetwood Mac. "Gypsy" was the second single release and second biggest hit from the Mirage album following "Hold Me." "Gypsy" reached a healthy #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video for this song was the very first "World Premiere Video" on MTV in 1982.
The song was featured in the "Silent Knight" episode of the television series Knight Rider.
