She supports America's troops

Stevie loves to visit the brave troops and she used to gift them what she called a "soldier's iPod”, an autographed MP3 player complete with music that she has loved for her entire life.

Speaking in 2011, she said: "I call it a soldiers' iPod. It has all the crazy stuff that I listen to, and my collections I've been making since the 1970s for going on the road, when I'm sick ... or the couple of times in my life that I have really been down, music is what always dances me out of bed."
