Leather and Lace is a song written by Stevie Nicks in and recorded by her in duet with Don Henley for her 1981 solo debut Bella Donna. Released as a single, it peaked at #6 on Billboard.

According to the sleevenotes of her TimeSpace compilation, song was originally meant to be given to the husband and wife country duo of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. Nicks held the song back for herself when the couple announced they were divorcing (though they would remain together until Jennings' death in 2002). Their 1981 album still bore the title Leather and Lace, despite not including the song.

The 1975 copyright date on the album appears to contradict this statement however.
