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. #10. Little Queen  It was released as the second single from the band’s second album, “Little Queen,” in 1977. Little Queen #9. Magic Man Composed by Ann and Nancy Wilson, the song is sung from the viewpoint of a young girl who is being seduced by an older man (referred to as a ‘Magic Man’). Magic Man #8. There’s A Girl Composed by Holly Knight and Nancy Wilson, the song was the third single from Heart’s ninth studio album, “Bad Animals.”  There’s The Girl #7. These Dreams It was the band’s first song to top the Billboard Hot 100. These Dreams #6. Straight On The first single from the band’s 1978 album “Dog & Butterfly” was co-written by Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson and Sue Ennis.   Straight On #5. Who Will You Run To Composed by Diane Warren, the song from Heart’s ninth studio album, “Bad Animals, became the band’s eighth U.S. Top 10 single, peaking at #7. Who Will You Run To #4. Alone The first single from “Bad Animals” has Tom Kelly, the song’s coauthor and an experienced session singer, providing the high harmony parts. Alone #3. Kick It Out The third and final single from the band’s second album ‘Little: Queen” was not a major pop hit but trafe pub Cash Box wrote that the song benefited from “the energetic vocals of sassy Ann Wilson.” Kick It Out #2. Barracuda The song resulted from Heart’s anger towards Mushroom Records, who as a publicity stunt released a made-up story of an incestuous affair involving Ann and her sister Nancy.  The Wilson sisters were infuriated. Barracuda #1. Crazy On You The band’s debut single in the U,S. is considered one of Heart’s signature songs and is one of the most played tracks on Classic Rock radio stations. Crazy On You Heart Does Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven (Kennedy Center Honors – Led Zeppelin) “It was really one of those life moments that you’re never gonna forget,” offered Nancy Wilson, “Just like, ‘Okay, I was part of that, and that was really cool. Stairway To Heaven Rock And Roll Led Zeppelin’s original version arrived in 1971. Heart issued their live version in 1980. Rock And Roll ### The post Heart’s Best appeared first on RockinTown.
