Tonight I listened to Heart and their song Barracuda! Why have I not heard of this band before? How long were they around? Have I been living under a rock? They were great! I LOVE the singers voice, her energy, her presence
I need you to talk to me about this band! Tell me more about them. Who they are, what they’re about, what songs I should listen to. Hit me with it!
Why? Because you listen to today's popular music, which fill your ears with boring & toxic shit.
I grew up on Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Matt Monroe, Tony Bennett, The Eagles, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, The Beatles, Buddy Holly....
That’s a little presumptuous.
"New thing bad, old thing good"
Heart was pop music back in the day, and so was Zeppelin, and so were the Stones. The reason we still listen to it is because it stood the test of time. You don't hear the hundreds of songs which were popular at the same time decades ago but didn't stand the test of time. The same will happen with today's music. The good stuff will stick around, the bad stuff will fade. Just because you don't find the majority of it to your liking doesn't mean it's objectively worse or anything
@@riffler24 The thing that separates the music is the talent and ORIGINALITY. You knew the band when you heard them, even if it was completely different from what they mainly did. Today it’s manufactured and a production. The mainstream music sound all the same. Auto tune, computer generated background noise. What a joke. Even country music is mainly trying to be from the 70’s, country doesn’t know what they are, rap?
So correct!
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest voices of rock.
She's the best female rocker voice for sure IMHO
I love her voice so much. Strong and very sensual at times.
Absolutely. One of the most impressive female lead singers. And with a unique sound. I hate it that many just refer to their later 'commercial-revival' work.
Also hate it that she is hardly ever listed in 'lists of great female lead rock/metal singers'. Often forgotten, set aside for contemporary screamy divas of bombastic rougher or symphonic metal bands.
Imo only Anneke and Floor have reached comparable level qualities, each in their own unique way.
To put in perspective how good Ann Wilson is, Floor Jansen has named her as an inspiration. Her covers of Ann are tributes to one of her favorite singers.
@@RaymondBCrisp Well, boomers already knew Ann Wilson decades before Mandylion and many more years before Floor's amazing talents fully emerged.
Just to put in perspective how good and underrated Anneke is, Floor mentioned her as a major source of inspiration. :^)
Heart is the only band led Zeppelin gave permission to do their songs anytime anywhere they wanted . You should check out the led Zeppelin Kennedy honors tribute .
It’s definitely on my list of songs to do!! 👍
The Kennedy Honors tribute is great but there are many other Zep hits covered by Heart and they do fantastically on all of them. Just put "Heart Led Zepellin" in the search box. If you're a Zepellin fan, you'll probably like Heart's covers.
Heart has also been known as Led Zeppelin with tits.
É simplesmente espetacular na voz de Ann Wilson
This is a classic. If you do more Heart, I'd strongly recommend "Crazy on You", not only is it another classic,but Nancy Wilsons guitar intro is just fucking brilliant. One of my favorite pieces of guitar work. Period.
her record company tried to screw her therefore barracuda
Find the live version.
Of Crazy on You.
Magic Man
@@joebarnett7284 Barracuda is about a sleazy reporter whom was claiming to Ann that her and Nancy were lovers. This song is their reaction to that reporter.
Greatest female rock vocalist ever, and one of the best period! Her sister Nancy who crushes the guitar can sing really well too but Ann has more power in her voice.
I am always shocked how many people today don't know of Ann and Nancy Wilson
Heart were big hits way before Iron Maiden was. They're in the Rock 'n Roll HOF with hit singles including "Crazy on You," "Magic Man," "Straight On," "Barracuda," "What About Love," "These Dreams," "Little Queen," "Kick It Out," "Heartless," "Even It Up," "Love Alive," "Dog and Butterfly," and "Dreamboat Annie." Their peak was 1975-1995 with the albums "Dreamboat Annie," and "Little Queen" being their two best in 1975 and 1978 respectively. Most of their biggest hits came from those two albums which went multiple platinum, although as mentioned they continued charting singles and LPs up until the late 1990s. They were a pioneering female led hard rock band.
The singer still sounds like this!!!! You gotta watch them at the Led Zep rock and roll hall of fame gig. As said before you need to hear Crazy on you and Magic man. These two chicks are icons and it's music you NEED to know.
Their Kennedy Center Live tribute to Zeppelin is everything. If you want to see just how over the top "Stairway to Heaven" can get, check it out. It's one of the best live performances of any song I've ever seen, and I'm going on 60 years old! :D
The song Barracuda was basically a huge middle finger to a male-dominated recording industry. The ladies, Ann & Nancy Wilson, had been the subject of some nasty rumors and nasty treatment from record company executives and this song was essentially a giant F.U.
They're a great band. Nancy was, and is, a ridiculously underrated guitar player.
I love how many awesome songs were written specifically as a result of poor treatment by record companies/execs.
Actually it was in response to an article written by a reporter that painted both the sisters in an incestuous relationship . Trying to point out that women can't lead a rock band unless there is something else going on between them that makes them different than other women . Now normally this isn't nor should it be a problem of any kind for women to be together but the article was aimed at an incest trait between the sisters as a way to insult and destroy them .
It's about Northern Pike! Wayne you are obtuse.
@@TheFatboonedaddy In addition to that, it was also a musical middle finger to Mushroom Records, their first publisher. Mushroom started off with an ad that showed Ann and Nancy standing close together, wearing off-the-shoulder blouses (so in the pic it looked like they were naked), with the caption, "And this was our first time!" (sparking the rumors that would later fuel the article). Later, the studio decided Heart wasn't making their second album fast enough, so they took what little material the band had produced by their arbitrary deadline, combined that with a couple of songs performed by studio musicians, and released that as "Magazine", at about the same time Heart (who had in the interim signed with CBS subsidiary Portrait Records) released their proper second album, "Little Queen" (the album that contained this song).
Later, Portrait sued Mushroom, forcing them to recall the album. It was later re-recorded and released by Heart themselves, under the Portrait label.
@@TheFatboonedaddy because the record company promoted the band as a lesbian couple.
Ann is such a great vocalist! She does not only have this insane range but knows how to use the silence at the right time.
Ann Wilson has one of the best pair of lungs in the business. Saw them live in 1983 in the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, for a RockPop In Concert and she's as good live as in the studio. Barracuda is one of their more rocking songs. They often tended to be more country-rock oriented at the beginning of their career.
@balloon farm Um... I said "one of their..." Define "one" for me...
There is quite a rabbit hole, actually. While driving rock was one of their fortes, ethereal ballads were also part of their regimen.
This old classic rocker recommends:
"Love Alive". Haunting acoustic intro, Ann's soft voice, orchestra choruses and bridges, Ann;s flute skills, delicate outro.
Arguably their best song, among all their other best songs.
"Dreamboat Annie" (and the reprise)
And most especially, "Cry to Me." If you don't weep, you fail the Turing Test.
You just listened to the bet female voice in Rock history!! As great as this song is, it doesn't break my top 10 Heart songs of all time!!!!! Ann Wilson has amazing voice, and I encourage you to check out more of their music!
I saw Heart a few years ago. Ann still sounds AMAZING. Not for her age or the mileage on her voice, but simply AMAZING. Her sister, Nancy DOES play that main guitar part and still kills it. nobody plays the drum part like Mike DeRosier though and he hasn't played with them in a very long time. Very underrated player. Bonham-esque in a 'nobody plays like Bonham' world.
Crazy on you is worth checking out just for the aucoustic guitar intro
The entire song is awesome as well 😉😉😁✌💚
I'd guess if you had heard another song of theirs unbeknownst to yourself, if would probably have been "Crazy on You" or "Magic Man." And if you haven't heard either of those...maybe you ought to, haha
Good tunes as well. I always liked Dog and Butterfly, too.
I saw them summer 2019. The band hasn't lost a step. Her voice still sounds like this!
Can verify. Saw them in Tacoma last year. Ann Wilson still has the pipes! I think she's 70 now.
I was there too, at AmerisBank Amphitheatre in Atlanta! I can definitely confirm that Heart still sounds the same, and they still rock!
Heart is my favorite band. Ann and Nancy Wilson are considered the queens of rock 'n roll. They were one of the biggest bands of the 70's and 80's, not just of girl bands but of any band. I saw them in concert in the 80's at the Universal Amphitheater.
Ann Wilson is one of the best vocalists in the history of rock music. No question.
Tommy, you picked another favorite of mine. Ann and Nancy have that "blood harmony" thing to the max. Both of them have lovely voices and together they are goddesses. In 1975 Dreamboat Annie came out with songs like "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You" and woke me up to the notion that women could sing real rock. Then in 1977 came Little Queen with "Barracuda". That album featured Nancy singing "Treat Me Well" (Beautiful ballad) and "Cry to Me" (Ann's beautiful ballad).
In 2012, Heart performed a tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center and Ann proved that she can still bring the house down by singing a "Stairway to Heaven" cover.
Excellent choice, excellent review Tommy.
Thanks Paul!
@@ThomasJ_Music You should do a comparison between Heart's original "Alone" and After Forever's (Floor Jansen's first band) - plus the Nightwish acoustic version with Floor. Ann loved it, apparently.
_"the notion that women could sing real rock"_ Of course they can :D Rock is no harder than jazz, schlager, opera. You never heard Fanny around 1970?. Or early Abba? Or even a girl like Janis Joplin? There were lots of strong or competent female singers before this (great) band.
I grew up in the 70s with Heart who were huge in Canada. They moved to Vancouver from Seattle as Ann Wilson was dating Mike Fisher (Heart's manager and Roger's brother) who draft dodged his way into Canada. There were few vocalists at that time with Ann's range and clarity. She has inspired generations of female vocalists! Enjoy this rabbit hole as their catalog is deep. Their first 3-4 albums were all killer no filler. Off the beaten track but great reaction songs would be Heartless, Straight On and a personal favorite Sing Child. There is a live version of Sing Child where Steve Fossen has some questionable taste in an upper garment. Dreamboat Annie is a great "Serenity Now" track.
From Seattle, they "made it" in 1975, after playing dive Bars and parties for years. These two sisters, Anne and Nancy Wilson are as talented as they come. They are master guitar players and vocalists. The rest of the Band isn't to shabby either. This Band (Heart) along with Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, and Christine Macvey owned the 1970s and 80s. Heart was sort of inspired by Led Zeppelin. In fact, they finally met their idols, and became friends with Plant, Page and the others. That's why Anne and Nancy Wilson, along with Jason Bonham (son of the late Zeppelin Drummer) played Stairway to Heaven at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. You can find it on UA-cam. Unbelievable performance.
Thanks
Ann Wilson...one of the most underestimated singers in the business!
They paved the way for many female rock artists post 1970s. Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson made up Heart. Dream Boat Annie ( 1975) was a classic album .
Many great hits - Magic Man,Crazy On You ,Barracuda, Straight On For You.
They had a great comeback in the 1980s
This band was so big back in the day and have so many hits! They were jaw-dropping when they first came out and still are!
Other well known songs by Heart include Magic Man, Crazy on You, Kick it Out, Straight On, These Dreams and they also have done great covers of Led Zeppelin classics like Rock and Roll, Black Dog, and Stairway to Heaven
Ann Wilson is without a doubt the best female vocalist of all time. Check out "City's Burning" or "Break" by them!
That's opinion, not fact.
This opinion AGREES...IT IS A FACT. ASK ANY OTHER FEMALE ROCKER. I'M referring to VOCALS PERFORMANCE & LONGEVITY. ALBUM SALES & OH THAT LITTLE PERFORMANCE FOR LED ZEPPLEN...DECADES OF PERFORMING...EASY FOR ME TO DECIDE MY OPINION.😀🇺🇸👍
I'd vote for Pat Benetar for best vocalist. She sounded even better live than on her first two records. But Heart had better songs and a better groove.
Maybe you mean Rock vocalist. don't forget Whitney Houston Celine Dion Mariah Carey Barbra Streisand
@@THEPATRIOT1000 Karen Carpenter!
Check out Magic Man....off the same album with Crazy on you...Magic Man was their first release that made the Wilson sisters huge
Excellent Band ! She’s one of the top pop and rock singer for many years. Their from Seattle Washington they been around since the 1970’s and they still tour and excellent band live.👍👍🎤🎸😎
Good old Rock and Roll bands. How we miss these days.
Heart is a band that has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They've been around since the early/mid 70's and they are still making new music (not often anymore).
Barracuda pure rock!!! Ann Wilson voice The Best!!!
Ann Wilson has just about the best voice in rock, if there is such a thing as best. Their song "Dog and Butterfly" is a calmer quite beautiful piece with enchanting vocal harmony if you need a break from all the thunder and attitude someday. I enjoyed your reaction. Another reaction video I've seen found the song cringe-worthy 70s dad-rock. Oh well.
Shame they found it cringe worthy, but each to their own I guess. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the tip!
I play "Dog and Butterfly" and "Dreamboat Anne" on the acoustic guitar fun to play!
Glad you mentioned it, I was going to. No one ever talks about Dog and Butterfly, a great song.
I play "Dog and Butterfly" and "Dreamboat Anne" on my Acoustic and "Crazy on you" and "Magic Man" on my Electric!! great tunes fun to play!!
Dog and Butterfly sounds better as a live performance because of the harmonies and acoustic
She sings effortlessly because she had one of the best voice coaches in the world in Seattle I think.
I love all their music. I love
Led Zeppelin Stair way to Heaven tribute they did when Led Zeppelin was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I never thought I would love any other version of a Zeppelin song.
Thanks! I’m gonna have to listen to this soon!
They did a cover of Stairway to Heaven soooo gooooood!
People know them best for hits like Alone, less rocky and more pop-diva. The Wilson sisters still going strong, seen some live videos pre corona with them, Nancy is 66 and Ann turned 70 this year and still sing like an angel.
All these years on and she's lost nothing off of her voice.
I've heard of it. In fact I was sitting in the arena at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ during their "Little Queen" tour in August of 1977, just a couple of months after this song was released.
Ann & Nancy Wilson sisters from Seattle. Ann Wilson is probably the most under rated singer. Her range, clarity and power are uncompromising. You would have to find a Shani Wallis or Judy Garland to compete. If you want to check out more listen to their Sylvan Song / Dream Of The Archer medley.
I don't think she is underrated. She's at the hall of fame of Rock.
@@marcelofarah8657 True, but who talks about her.
Or a Floor Jansen... 😉
Every teenage boy of the mid 1970s had a crush on these two.....Ann and Nancy Wilson......beautiful, talented ladies.
Gotta listen to their tribute to Led Zeppelin at Kennedy Center, HIghway to Heaven.
Best cover of that song ever.
Stairway to Heaven; Highway to Hell. :-)
I would have thought you might have known Heart from later tracks like What about love, These dreams and Alone. Proper power ballads, yep they can really belt it out!! Formed 1970, disbanded in 1998, came back 2002 and I think went again at some point around 2016/17 and came back again last year. Ann and Nancy are sisters they both do the vocals.
Representing a great era of Seattle music! I used to live down the street from their Bad Animals Studios, on 4th Ave. Last I heard, it was about to be torn down.
Born in the 50's, this was the girl band that we listened to....among the others, like, you know, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who.......
They are sisters and it was put out there that they were lovers! It pissed them off so bad that they wrote this song against the people who accused them of it! They are amazing and will always be my favorite band!!
The 'barracuda' is a record company executive and the 'porpoises' are Ann and Nancy.
I agree with all the recommendations below, especially since you were asking for songs you might have heard by them. After checking out those, I would recommend the funky 'Straight On For You' and 'Even It Up." "Heartless" is a great tune as well. For more of Ann's vocal shining, check out the cover of "Tell it Like it Is." Also with all the recommendations for their cover of Zep's Stairway to Heaven at Kennedy Center Honors, I assume you will get to that eventually, j8st thought it is worth mentioning that it also features Jason Bonham (John's son) with the infamous Bonzo top hat in honor of his pop. Zep was Heart biggest influence and the typically closed out their shows with "Rock n' roll" and more recently "Kashmir." Can you imagine Ann Wilson singing the Who's "Love Reign O'er Me?" Well they've been known to do that one as well. The original band was incredible, but much in the vein of Fleetwood Mac there was turmoil and fall out. Roger Fisher's guitar tone and technique was ahead of it's time. I'm sure he was the inspiration for "Magic Man" according to him for more than just his guitar playing. Hours of great music to explore and enjoy from this band.
Feel so bad for young people who didn't grow up in 70s.....they missed a generation of best songs ever written and recorded.
.
Arguably, Ann Wilson has the best voice in R&R, ever.
As someone who studied voice in my younger years, I know just how much damage rockers can do to their voices if they use improper technique. Ann Wilson is one of the few whose throat I never worry about because she manages to hit, and hit hard, but not in a damaging way. Which is why she's still rocking in her 70s. I know many others have recommended the Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin tribute, and I'll definitely add my recommendation to that, but when you watch it, take a moment to appreciate the fact that she's 62 during that performance.
Also, try Magic Man by Heart at some point. That one is my absolutely fave.
You may have heard more of their 80s stuff, which was more commercially successful but not nearly as musically strong. "Alone", "Never", "If Looks Could Kill" "Who Will You Run To" are some examples. Their 70s stuff is where the real gold is, though. "Magic Man", "Crazy on You", "Straight On", and for the softer sound, either "Dreamboat Annie" or (my preference) "Dog & Butterfly."
I'm not quite sure how one could have never heard of Heart but sure am glad you found them.....
Ann Wilson is known in USA as one of the best female rock n roll voices of all time. Listen to their song, Alone. It was released in the late 80's, and it went to number 1 here on the Billboard hot 100.
I saw them live 3 times from 77-80, GREAT performances. They are from the Seattle area. Thanks for the memories.
I have no idea what the lyrics are about but when I was younger, I always thought the song was about a car...a Plymouth barracuda. A pure American muscle car! So, for example, check out a 1971 Barracuda.
That song was from 1977 and they have so many hits but the must resent that I no is they did a Tribute to Led Zeppelin for the Rock and Roll Hall Of fame "Stairway To Heaven" that was unbelievable and a must-see!
Not only syncopation at the end, I belive, but also a 7/8ths time signature. Very British :D (Speaking of that, I love the slightly jazz-fusion sounding guitar solos above that steady country inspired rock beat. The solos reminds me of Andy Summers in the Police.)
I watched an interview with Ann Wilson and it was so interesting hearing her tell about how she and Nancy started their career, and how their parents reacted to their music.
I recommend exploring a few of their songs from the 70s before venturing to their later stuff. Heart is known for their great live performances, so look for live videos
Ann Wilson is a vocal Godzilla and she can still nail it today.
There never been more of a bad ass rocker than Ann is right here! Effortless
Lots of people have mentioned it but.. hardly anyone can cover Led Zep well but not only do Heart pull it off, they totally smash it.
The fact that you can see Robert Plant brushing away a tear when they played Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Centre honours concert speaks volumes.
Have a listen to their song “What About Love” it’s vocal a tour de force.
It is a classic rock and roll song and the intro you refer to as "galloping" is one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in music.
Great reaction!
If you want to check out some modern female-fronted bands, I’d _highly_ recommend these seven: *Blood Ceremony* (flute-tinged witch rock), *The Bridge City Sinners* (punk folk), *Jess and the Ancient Ones* (psychedelic rock), *Lucifer* (doom rock), *The Oath* (classic metal), *Thundermother* (classic hard rock, and actually an all-female band), and *Twin Temple* (doo-wop).
They all released their debut albums within the last thirteen years, and they’re actually my favorite bands of all time.
"These Dreams" was a #1 hit and was sung by the other sister Nancy.
Ann and Nancy Wilson are still doing concerts. Great choice! Magic Man and Crazy On You are both rockers too.
Saw them open for new band called Van Halen What a night of great music
They were so awesome live...Anns Voice powerful and Lynns Acoustic Guitar wicked, Loved the reaction, Thank you
Greatest female voice in Rock history
Ann Wilson's voice is arguably iconic...as soon as you hear it, you know it's her. Power.
Ann Wilson is still performing. I saw her live in a small venue about a month ago. She still has it!
The wonderful Wilson sisters. When they're not busy being Heart. they're one of the best 'Zeppelin tribute bands in the business.
they basiocally nicked the bassline from achilles last stand then wrote a song on top of it. its BRILLIANT!¬
All their stuff is good but I am an 80's baby so you should check out: Alone, These Dreams, Wait for an Answer, Who will You Run To, and Never.
Heart released there first album in 1975 way before Iron Maiden released there first album. Maiden first release 1980 and Heart Dreamboat Annie 1975. This song is from there second album Little Queen realest in 1977.
God, they do an amazing cover of Kashmir. Battle of Evermore (you get to hear Nancy sing!). Immigrant Song. Black Dog... sometimes with Jason Bonham on drums. His dad's drum kit.
Ann kind of channels her inner Robert Plant. Heart was very influenced by Zeppelin. We might not have Heart if not for them. And Nancy, all you need to know is when she does the leg kick s^%ts about to get real.
I just did a comparison of both versions of Kashmir the other day! It’s been blocked since unfortunately so I’ll have to try find a way to put it back up! Great version though
The 60s and 70s are a box filled with treasures but so many song have been made since then. In my country the Netherlands we had a top 100 of all time in 79 and now we have a top 2000 that says it all. Even i discover songs and groups from those days that are great. Some bands or songs are forgotten and sometimes it isn't a loss but there are enough songs that are worth listening.
A great band with many great songs. I hope you do some more Heart. Well worth it.
Great question. How can you not have heard of one of the most iconic bands in the history of Rock and Roll...They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Ann Wilson has sold 35 million records and is in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Heart used to play at the skating where I grew up,I didn't see a Maiden years later.
Love this band and song so much. One of my favorites concerts ever is still Heart and Def Leppard. 💖
This was popular back in the 70s. Very popular back then!
If you were asking about a tune that was by HEART ("a tune by heart" sound like a nice pun :)), I would guess you might have caught their power ballad "Alone" sometime somewhere. People who are real fans name numerous and possibly even better songs, but it was the first that I did hear (I'm an 80s guy, started with music in the 90s). That means, if nothing else, it was getting a lot of airplay.
So glad the Wilson sisters made it! Had a crush on Nancy in the mid-80’s - she was hot and could play! Definitely worth listening to a few more. Crazy on You is one of their best. Cheers!
Heart is in the HOF for a reason great band you've found here
The song was inspired from Zeppelins immigrant song.... they even use the F# pedal..... they’re now in their 70’s and sound just as good as they did here.
Alone is their biggest hit. Awesome song
If driving around with a girl you fancy for the first time, make sure this song comes on.
It is a rather odd set of lyrics. The guitar is done in an interesting way with two guitarists (technically 3 if count Nancy Wilson) who do a call and response as opposed to a simple rhythm and a lead who plays runs and such. Rodger Fisher is really not mentioned much, but his driving guitar sound really works well with Ann Wilson's voice.
Awesome! These ladies know how to SHRED! I saw them live in the early 90's and they ROCKED THE HOUSE! 👩🏻🎙👱♀️🎸
There's a big power ballad from the late '80's you've likely heard somewhere or the other: "Alone". It's covered fairly often these days on singing competitions and such.. Not my favorite by them, but it got a lot more radio play back in the day compared to their earlier stuff.
Ann Wilson is is the only reason we were at all prepared for Floor Jansen - they're Twin Towers of Female Power.
before a concert in her dressing room was a man that asked her how her love life was. she said my husband is great .and he said not your husband ..your sister... rumors and all that. so she wrote this song in response to the rumors.
Heart is amazing Ann is one of the greatest rock singers of all time !
Ever heard of Pat Benetar? Wake up!
This is a fantastic song. Gretchen Wilson with Alice in Chains did a terrific cover of it. For further exploration try "Alone", "Crazy on You", "Magic Man" and their cover of Led Zeplin's "Stairway to Heaven live from the Kennedy Centre Honors".
Check out Heart -Magic Man and Dog and Butterfly and Crazy on You 3 of my favorites. Anne Wilson has an incredible voice!! Check out more!
If I can recommend an underappreciated gem of theirs - Straight On. Theirs a great live 1978 performance you should check out.
Hi. Ann the singer is awesome and so is her sister on the guitar. They are in the Hall of Fame since 2013. Alone, Mistral Wind, Love Alive and Stairway to Heaven . They sang Stairway at the Kennedy Center in front of Led Zeppelin. They still Ro.ck now even though Ann is 70 and Nancy is 66. Ann can still hit some of those notes still. They are Rock. Never, If looks could kill, These Dreams and Crazy for You. The intro Nancy plays in Crazy for You is good. It was about some sleaze ball that wanted to know how Ann and Nancy's lesbian relationship was. So she wrote it in about 15 min.
While one of my favorite videos of theirs, the audio is the studio release to which a concert video has been edited on. It's obvious at points, almost looking like lip-sync. But they never once did so. She did and does, however, sing effortlessly piercing and nuanced. The mic cut at Rockford Speedjam in 1979, and we could still hear her from 80 yards away.
ann had and STILL has GREAT pipes!!!!
All the 70s this song was about someone who made a remark that pissed her off you should look it up lots of great album's .in the hall of fame
