    I went to high school with Ann. I remember sitting in her living room 55 years ago (her mother had to be home for that to happen) listening to her and Nancy sing and play - and not just guitar - between the two of them they could play all kinds of instruments. I never told her, but when she would sing Cherish by The Association my heart would just ache. Her ability to put feeling and emotion into a song was a force to be reckoned with even back then. At that time, of course, we had no idea what was to come. But the first time I heard Heart on the radio I commented how good it sounded and a friend said, "Don't you know? That's Ann and Nancy." I was surprised, but it made sense - Ann wasn't famous when singing for us in her living room, and she didn't belt out the songs back then, but that voice was still that voice and you don't forget it once you've heard it. It was really good to see Ann again through this interview because the quiet, just plain good person I knew back then is still alive and well today.

      That said, she looks incredible. Fillers and Botox have been at a minimum which is the only way to go, IMO. Too many people end up looking nothing like themselves. Ann looks as if she’s stopped time in her 50’s. Having no gray hairs helps, too, of course.

    Ann Wilson has the most powerful vocals of any woman in the business and is, hands down, my all-time favorite female vocalist! When she’s pushing her vocal limits (like she does in their song “Alone” for example), I get goosebumps from the thrill. She’s FANTASTIC! And her sister Nancy is not only a great performer on the guitar, but her gift for composition on that instrument is worldclass! And the other guitarists in Heart - the guys - have produced some of my all time favorite riffs!
    Heart was a band meant to be. I’m so thankful the Wilson sisters followed thru on their desire and dream to make music. I can’t imagine the world of music without them or the TIMELESS CLASSICS they’ve given us.

Ann Wilson started singing in 1963 when she was 12 and was a member of the group "White Heart" for a time, then changed the group's name several times before they became "Heart" in 1974. Before this time, neither one were heard of and there are many famous singers that start long before they become famous. I love them both but when it comes to female singers taking rock n' roll from the boys (so to speak), that credit would go to Janis Joplin!

I remember it was either Don Kirshner or Midnight Special, but Heart came on and did "Barracuda" and I think "Crazy On You" in the same show and watching Ann singing with the wind blowing in her raven black hair and her hand on her hips. It's still one of the greatest memories of my childhood.

This caught everyone by surprise as people thought more prestigious bands should have been inducted first. R.E.M. made it into the Rock In Roll Hall of Fame during the first induction. Their first hit was in 1981. Heart had already made a name for themselves as a being a major rock n roll band before R.E.M with popular hits of Magic Man, Dreamboat Annie, Barracuda, Crazy on You, Little Queen, and others. Heart has definitely achieved alot more success as a band than R.E.M. and they are still a main band on classic rock stations.

    I love that Ann sounds great whether she is singing soft ballads or completely rocking out. She can harmonize too. Her voice just WORKS!! There aren’t a lot of singers who are that adaptable. Mark Lindsay is one of the only male rock/pop singers with that ability. I’d have loved to hear the two of them on an album together rocking and harmonizing together.

For that Nancy and Ann I thank you so much. Not only do my husband and I love you but my kids love you too. I walked out of that concert feeling like I won the lottery.

    I'd love to hear more stories about how great singers learned to sing. Everyone likes asking guitarists if they're self taught or keyboard players if they're classically trained, but I feel like singers are rarely ever asked about how they started singing. It's a beautiful mystery to unravel, how someone comes to realize they can make music with their voice, and where that simple action can take them in life.

    • @RobAnthonyDire

      Well, I recently heard an interview or heard and speak and say that her chorus teacher taught her a technique that my mom taught me. My mom is a classically trained opera singer who taught vocal lessons. When you breathe, imagine feeling a glass of water. You feel it from the bottom up to breathe from the bottom of your stomach or diaphragm and fill it up. Never bread from the chest. You sing from the bottom up and that’s how you resonate like that

    I want to meet Ann Wilson so badly I could chew my arm off. I have been a fan since the beginning and, like Ann, I remember the first time I heard "Crazy on You" on the radio. I went out to our back porch and was walking and that intro came on and-no lie-I stopped in my tracks and stood there frozen. I could not believe what I was hearing. I can still see that moment to this day, almost like I was watching myself hear this-no pun intended-magic coming out of the radio, not to mention a female lead singer of a rock band. She changed my life and I'll be an admirer of hers forever.

It used to hurt me to see her suffer over her weight when there were so many of us who loved and supported her unconditionally. What an amazing woman. I finally got to see her in the second row at a small venue on "The Ann Wilson Thing" tour. What an unforgettable experience after decades of admiration!

    Wow, Professor....and the STILL gorgeous Ann Wilson, THANK YOU! I have my own story of this song, if I may..
    In 76, at the ripe old age of 22, I was single, working in a business that gave me the opportunity, freedom and frankly the coin to truly enjoy life. I still love my high school years very fondly, graduating in 72. But late 75 and 76 was my "hayday".
    First, as I have mentioned to you before here, Heart was and still is my favorite band of all time. Their music was incredible, and had a profound impact in that time, and later as well. But those years, it was not only great music but almost an anthem.
    AND, of course, I had THE BIGGEST crush on Ann Wilson. Her voice was like a siren's song, and she was so incredibly gorgeous, and I am sure I wasn't the only one in that age group to feel the same way.
    During that time, I had just bought the car of my dreams, a 1976 Mercury Capri Black Cat limited edition.
    I had the moon roof, the 5 speed, 2000 v6 engine, which really lit that little light weight car on fire, and of course, the OBLIGATORY Blaupunkt 8 track stereo system with 6 speakers. The car wasn't much bigger than the speakers!
    And I played that tape, and particularly that song wide open, most of the time. The only way I can describe the feeling of flying down the highway here in Arizona (where at the time there were still some you could do that on ), just after sunset, windows down, roof open, and Magic Man testing the limits of my speakers, is kind of like the scene from Back to the Future, the first time he winds up the De Lorean... it was almost like reaching another dimension. And no, the song wasn't a personal "anthem" for me, or anything like that. I didn't see myself as "the Magic Man"...but Annie's vocal, Nancy and the rest of the band's instrumentation just made this such a "high", it was in itself magical.
    I STILL have that 8 track, as a keep sake. But I also have ALL of the successive platforms that came after that.
    Thank you sir, and thank you, Annie. You are still just as lovely as ever. And just found out today....our birthdays are two days apart! LOL. 6/17 and 6/19.
    Keep up the great work, and thanks for keeping memories of a great time alive.
