Heart’s Best
Heart (led by Ann and Nancy Wilson) had two iterations. The first came in the mid-70’s when they jumped on one of the major Rock trends – blending acoustic and electric instruments. After a successful run the band faded. But they returned in the early ’80’s with new band members and were in heavy rotation on MTV.

It was released as the second single from the band’s second album, “Little Queen,” in 1977.
