@@ProfessorofRock how old is Ann Wilson now, and what year was this video made?
I'm not hyping up this place or playing you lip service and the begging doesn't really help me want to.
I like the content, don't get me wrong. Just have a little pride, please.
Still is!
hell ya she does love her!!
Can we just talk about what an AMAZING and underrated guitarist Nancy Wilson is!!!!
Not underrated at all! She is always one of the few female rock guitarists gracing most lists of great rock guitarists to this day.
Ann Wilson "underrated guitarist" I don't think so!🙂
Yes we can. Nancy was awesome. Her work on acoustic guitar as a hard Rock instrument was unmatched.
Underrated?? Nancy is not underrated in the least. She is actually known as an amazing guitarist.
Maybe under appreciated is a better word.
Throw out the qualifier “female ”.
she’s one of the best rock vocalists....period.
She has one of the great female voices of all time
Excellent point!
She always gives me
Chills. Seeing them live and every time I hear a recording. Always. The Best.
agree amazing voice
Ditch the additional qualifier of "rock" - she's one of the greatest vocalists of ALL TIME.
Ann Wilson is the GOAT of female rock singers. No one could touch her. She's still killing it.
Ann F Wilson has the best voice in rock, bar none...
mate, Plant, Mercury, Wilson all day! Honestly, there aren't many. Those three are the cream.
@@AnthonyLeighDunstan Let's not forget Lou Gramm and David Byron....
@@AnthonyLeighDunstan Joyce Baby Dean Kennedy, Ian Gillan, Paul Rodgers,
R J Dio, Lou Gramm, Suze Di Marchii and there are many more.....
Yes, Ann Wilson is my all-time favorite. I also love Johnette Napolitano's killer vocals. She doesn't have that killer high range, but she's damned powerful as well.
Aside from anything else Anne looks absolutely stunning here. Shes an absolute GOAT!
Ann Wilson. One of the most incredible vocalists in rock music history.
I still say that Ann Wilson's voice is one of the most powerful voices around.
Greatest female rock vocalist ever.
I was gonna say "the most seductive ever".
@@michaelolvera7490 WAY BETTER.
I love Stevie, but there is NO competition.
Yeah, the greatest female vocalist
Yup
She’s gorgeous and I love her speaking voice. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Agreed and another one who I feel similarly about is Diana Krall.
Ugh , I hate her speaking voice. Love her singing voice.
Sounds like she has emphysema.
She speaks and sings like an Angel! Our late Queen would have been proud!
I’m 55 years old - I’ve heard this song for nearly my entire life, and I still go crazy when this song comes on the radio. Heart totally rocks even after all this time.
I'm 57, so yeah. This, "Barracuda" and "Heartless" all give me goosebumps every single time I hear them.
I'm 57 and it's the same for me.
I just turned 59....grew up in the best era of rock.....70's early 80's....Heart was one of my favorites...The Wilson sisters were HOT!
55 ...same here
Me too!! Perks me up and I love to sing to both Ann and Nancy. Of course I like to pretend I sound just like them!!! LOL!
Her voice is a national treasure. Love Heart, my entire life, absolutely LOOOVE Heart.
Heart is the first hardrocking female led band in my opinion that I still listen to this day. Nothing else compares as far as that.
Anne Wilson, the best female rock vocalist EVER
EVER!!
I'd say it's a tie between Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson
Not Chrissie Hynde? Not Pat Benatar? Not Sheryl Crow? Not Dolores O'Riordan? OK, to each their own. I like them all equally.
@@mikerothouse79 purely as a vocalist, i think ann has much more actual skill cause she had training AND talent whilst stevie was more raw talent
Almost but Janis beats um all sorry but she would say the same trust
I met my wife in high school in Ann Arbor, MI., Hearts first albums were with us in a magical time- and they are magical. After 42 years together, we still listen once in a while and we are drawn back into our early romance and precious times. I've always felt that their band- especially the original lineup, has been totally under-rated...
The way Ann Wilson belts out this line from Crazy On You - "And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love" - is the GREATEST all time performance of any female vocalist in the history of Rock. It is unmatched. Pat Benatar and several other female rock vocalists were amazing and sang songs which came close, but Ann Wilson was the greatest, all time Queen of female Rock vocalists.
No knock against the men of rock AT ALL, but I have always felt that the ladies have a higher degree of kick-ass in their music because they were successful despite the blatant misogyny thrown at them.
@@brklyn345Ann's talent and capability as a vocalist was so amazing that by and large, I think she always had great respect from her peers - even if it was begrudgingly given by some. I was 13 when their first album came out so myself and every other guy I knew thought the Wilson sisters were not only amazing to listen to but also to look at, LOL.
@@GTX1123 I was a sixteen year old girl when they came out and it was a bolt of lightening to me. Two female hard rockers who could hold their own against the best of the male rockers. Empowering.
There is no Heart without Ann's voice. She absolutely has one of the best voices ever!
_I was a willow last night in a dream, I bent down over a clear running stream, sang you the song that I heard up above, you kept me alive with your sweet flowing LOVE!_
I sing along with that part Every. Single. Time. Great great song. Brilliant from intro to finish. Thanks for the music, Heart. ❤️
That’s my favorite part too, it’s so savage or something
Can't believe she just turned 70.
Cute as ever.
Totally she doesn’t look a day over 50!
Imagine! ... the power of cosmetic surgery!
Newfie-Dean that too ya lol
Agree 100% So damn cute!
WHAT. She looks like she's in her 40's. On top of that, she looks like she's never had any work done. What kind of black magic is this?
I'm floored. She is 70???? She and Nancy are supremely talented, can f'ing ROCK, and are both so incredibly beautiful. Wowwow. I heard all their songs on the radio when I was a kid, but I didn't realize how special they were.
That is how you age gracefully she looks even better today incredible.
Pretty sure I would cry if ann touched my hand. She and her sister are such beautiful people.
The voice of a generation !
She was drop dead cute in the 70's, gorgeous in the late 80's and she's _"still"_ smouldering sexy today. How does she manage it?
The blood of virgins
Jk Ann and Nancy.....love you both!
She's clean and sober. That's one of many reasons.
Leepshin
Because.............
Rock and Roll.
Hard to believe she's 70...looks better than most 30/40 year olds I know.
Was going to say the same thing, she was my teenage crush and here I am approaching 50 and I still think she is fine af!
Imagine being a grown-up in '75 and looking this beautiful in 2020!
Nancy and Ann had more balls than any other rock vocalist and guitarist out there. Male/female shouldn't matter at all for R&RHOF or any other "club." The fact that both could melt your face off with their respective talent and instrument is justification enough. And I agree 100%...Nancy slays guitar and is totally underrated. I'd guess a few back in the day may have been intimidated by both of these legends.
I'm a 35-year-old black man from Kansas and I remember hearing that song on rock stations as a teenager and every time it blew my mind. Still does to this day. When I think if female rockers, I think if Ann and Nancy first. Regardless of gender, they're some of the best in history. Ann, keep slaying with that voice! You're a legend!
The greatest rock and roll woman's band ever!!!!!!
Incredible vocalist. Ann Wilson set the bar really high for female Rock singers.
I think she set it unreachable
@@johnhagan9277 The female Lou Gramm..lol!!!
@@VIDEOHEREBOB agreed. 100%
With all of these talent shows, what I notice is that so many of them try to sing Whitney, but not many reach to sing Ann.
I love that they were so influenced by The Moody Blues. One of the all-time great bands.
I'm a big Moody Blues fan and love Justin Hayward's songwriting and voice.
These women crash your soul. One with her voice, the other with her guitar.
Nothing like that today
These women crash your soul. ❗❗❗❕❕❕❗❗❗❕❕❕
Nothing like that before them either.
Also note that they didn't have to perform half-naked to retain our attention.
Very well said…
They play more than guitar. Ann plays piano and flute too.
The Wilson sisters/Heart opened the door and influenced so many female musicians when they blasted on to the scene. I am one of those heavily influenced by them and proud that they are from the Seattle area. Rock Goddesses!!!
Ann Wilson is the Queen of rock and roll.
I will forever love heart....my mom had albums, I stole them and played them and wore them out. Every time I hear Dog and Butterfly, I always think of my mom. I saw them at 18 years old with her as well. There truly is no one like Heart.
Jennie Westforth love it!!! That’s great.♥️
I was 6 when my sister brought home D&B. I made her play that record over and over, convinced that these girls were actual angels.
...No one has changed my mind in 43 years.
Every time, Dog and butterfly comes on, I still get goosebumps and close my eyes, it's just an incredible song.
Crazy on you was that song for me. Every time I heard it as a woman, it made me feel so empowered. My soul would just soar and it gave me chills. Heart is one of my all time favorite bands and Ann and Nancy Wilson are some of the most iconic women singers in rock and roll history. I love them so much!
Singers period, male or female...when you're of a certain caliber male or female goes out the window, and Ann Wilson and the rest of Heart for that matter are of that breed...but if you wanna talk just female wise then you're absolutely right
I still feel empowered when I hear it
No one -- male or female -- will ever come close to Ann Wilson's vocals. An unsurpassed, one-of-a-kind master at the top of her profession. She deserves the utmost respect. ❤️❤️❤️
There's plenty of singers that match Ann Wilson-Ian Gillan in his prime, David Bowie, Gregg Allman, Annie Lennox, Paul McCartney, Karen Lawrence, Chris Cornell, and the list goes on.
@@DCB728 by no means am i talking shit about those artists or your music taste but youre 100% wrong. You may value those singers the same as you value Ann but none of them have the vocal range she does.
@user A singers greatness (or lack thereof), can't be reduced to simply what their range is. How about the expressiveness in their voice? Tonal quality? I'm tired of reading all these comments about how amazing Ann Wilson still sounds. It's natural for a singer to not sound as good at 70 years old as they did when they were 30 (hello Gillan). I'm afraid Ann has lost a fair amount of her range. Her voice gets clipped at times. Go and listen to her from 1978 (amazing) and then from 2018.
Steve Muthafuggin Perry?
*_LINDA RONSTADT_*
as a musician for over 50 yrs Ann & Nancy are the best female singers I've ever heard, then the Bangles is next IMHO
Ann voice always blows me away, such a beauty.
There’s always been something about Nancy’s guitar playing that I could never put my finger on. When Ann said Justin Hayward, it was a eureka moment for me.
that was news to me as well. justin hayward has written some amazing songs
ForbiddenPlanet
Nancy is amazing
Incredibly powerful strumming and note fills
Hard to learn it, because her feel is unique
Me too
Ann is an amazing performer and she looks Gorgeous.
She is actually quite beautiful. It was just hidden by her weight problem. As she lost the weight, the beauty comes through.
She does look fantastic!
The Ironic thing to me is that Heart is way more talented than rod Stewart, IMHO!
@@stanleyhornbeck1625 YEAH VOCAL QUALITY WISE YOU ARE DEAD ON .I DO LIKE HEARTS MUSIC ALOT MORE TOO .
@@stanleyhornbeck1625 I never thought he could sing! I like some of his songs but not his voice. It irritates me!
great interview - I've always loved Ann Wilson - great performer and singer! I really loved her for the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin! She is just the best.
Yeah that's the best of the best
Aside from her immense talent, HOW is Ann still so gorgeous!? Lord!
She's still gorgeous! And the greatest rocker chick of ALL TIME!!!!
I really love Nancy's acoustic riff in the beginning of the song
The first time I heard Heart, Dreamboat Annie, on the radio, I went out to buy the record. What a surprise it was. Pure rock and roll at its best.
She's so talented and incredibly beautiful. Always was, always will be.
Heart and their music will forever be a part of the mosaic of my life, love and memories.
A great time to grow up! The soundtrack of my life!
Ann Wilson - amazing voice and still a real beauty.
Goosebumps when Nancy launched into that incredible guitar riff.
@Ran Man lol thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice that I misspelled it.
Hell yea shes so bad ass !!! My First crush she is still amazingly beautiful .Love you Ann !!
Carl Butcher with the voice of of pure gold!
@@ProfessorofRock the voice of an angel 😇!
Professor of Rock I agree 1000 percent I still think she’s underrated to this day . There isn’t a male singer she couldn’t hang with if not do better
Hard to say just one comment, but here’s mine and of most who recognize the best music. I just love HEART. Greetings from Costa Rica. Pura Vida
Crazy On You is my fav Heart song. I was born in 1960 so this was my generation. Number 35? They played this on the radio ALL THE TIME.
It's early 1976... I'm in high school... shopping at Cactus Records in Houston... incense is burning... "High Times" is prominently displayed on the rack... and Heart's "Crazy on You" is cranking through the JBL speakers from the Marantz receiver and Teac turntable. I had no choice, "Dreamboat Annie" came home with me - and I fell in love with the Wilson sisters right then! Thanks Professor for this excellent interview (as always) and helping keep my classic rock memories fresh!
Great memories! Thanks for sharing.
Well done!
I have a marantz 4400 pumping into vintage jbls. They mix perfectly.
Same memory only I was in Tacoma WA at Capitol Records on 56th and Pac Ave. Man, was our teen years great or what?
Cactus. Wasn't that in Pasadena?
Damn Ann you are looking so beautiful. I Love that you are still rockin and that hairstyle is really fantastic on you.
Your Zep tribute was perfection. Thank You ♡
Any hairstyle looks great on her.
Totally agree with , thank to them for all the music they gave us!!!
You really are such a damn fine interviewer. You let people talk and ask great questions. The channel will have millions of subs in the next year.
Thank you! I hope you’re right! We’ll be here either way.
Professor of Rock - Where did you come from? How are you getting these interviews? Congratulations and best of luck. I might donate now. Wish I had more cash. Hopefully soon - working on class action like The Rainmaker.
@@ProfessorofRock professor of Pop why didn't you mention Nancy Wilson? It's like mentioning Led Zeppelin I'm talking about them without Jimmy Page.
Yep, he's the anti-Oprah. She interrupts people way too much. Let them speak! :) What did we do before this channel?
Ty for the interview of such a great singer, composer and show(wo)man!😁 luv my some ❤
First album I ever bought was Dreamboat Annie. I was 14. Second was Little Queen. Watching Ann speaking about those days here, every second is incredible, with fireworks going off in my head.
Thanks for this!
Heart's music has always connected directly to my ❤ since I first heard them. In the 70's I fell in love with them. I saw them perform at a small venue, Six Flags in the 90's and they blew me away. They are still my favorite concert ever.
Even Anne's speaking voice has beautiful tonality.
I remember being a teenage girl and watching Nancy Wilson they way she played that guitar and being utterly amazed. Ann of course has an incredible voice which is like no other. I've seen them many times and love them to this day.
How can you not get chills when Ann hits that note on Alone!!
That voice. That voice. That voice!!! One of the greatest of the 20th century. Period.
Goosebumps when Ann told the Montreal story. Reminded me that a decade later, my first arena show ever (I was 14!) was another Heart's gig at the Montreal Forum. Sure enough, they thanked Montrealers for believing in them more than anyone. Magical memories!
My most favorite band during my high school days. Fondly remember singing the entire Dreamboat Annie album with my girlfriends. 💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖 Dog and Butterfly forever a favorite.
Dreamboat Annie is still one of my five favorite albums of all time.
I lived in Vancouver in 1975 and this album was HUGE back then. I still own my album from back then. I love Heart! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just hearing that lady speak is soothing and just intoxicating. Wow
Hearts music is timeless,never get tired of their classics!!
Amazing singer, amazing song. Such a total Hard Rock classic. Heart absolutely deserves to be in the Hall.
One of the most enjoyable books I've ever read is Ann & Nancy's "Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul, & Rock and Roll." If you love Heart, this is the book to get. As for the video... great interviews of Ann, Steve, and Michael, Professor!
I have been listening to Heart a lot again during 2020 and 2021. This stuff was my parents’ music when I was growing up, I remember they had a bunch of Heart albums in their old cassette collection. Crazy on You is my favorite song I keep listening to right now because I could tell from the words, like Ann says, it’s about clinging to your love to shelter from the feeling of danger all around and the world becoming unrecognizable before ending.
I Love This Song!! Crazy on You is my favorite Heart Song!! ❤
I was just a kid when. I first heard Heart's music pouring out my parents stereo console. Their music influenced & moved me in a way that no other music ever had before. Music was such a mumbo-jumbo back then so many different influences and styles. When I heard their guitars and her voice I knew that we were in store for something really amazing! I still love listening to heart and I'm always discovering video & audio gems. So happy these ladies are still Rocking it out! Thank you for doing what you do!
It's really something to see her now, after seeing her in the 70's. Both girls were always pretty and she still is, but you can see wisdom behind those eyes. I've learned with my wife, who is only six days younger than me, that cute young girls can't hold a candle to an older woman of inner substance. Beauty really does come from within.
They say that with age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone. It appears Ann is the full deal. :)
Robs OnBass you sound like every women’s dream husband!👍👏👏💥
Yes sir, you're simply right,
She is so cooooool, god bless her they don’t make them like that anymore........🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love, love love, Heart!!! My favorite ever!!
Heart is one special band, still together, so down to earth and humble. So authentic as human beings. That in itself is a rarity❤️ And the gifts and talents they carry, they could be so full of themselves, what a beautiful walking lesson in humility ❤️
Some of my earliest memories are of heart Performing at Parker's in shoreline. I wasn't quite 13 when they played Parker's. I would go stand in the parking lot at Sherwood high school & listened to the music through the walls. I got to see heart a few years Ago for the 1st time. I have Been blessed to know the writer of kicking & dreaming. ANN, Nancy's auto biography by Charles R Cross. What a waste of time not seen them in my early years keep on rockin girls. I love you ! God-bless
LOVE the Wilson Sisters. LOVE Heart. They've been favorites for, literally, almost 45 years. Thanks for sharing a bit of their story!!
Heart is one of my favorite bands of all time and Ann and Nancy Wilson are my rock and roll heros especially, Nancy because, I am also a guitarist and have patterned much of my own style after Nancy Wilson. The song "Crazy On You" is epic! I love listening to that song while cycling, with the driving rhythm and electric guitars, going about 20 mph with the wind hitting my face.
Thanks professor for interviewing Ann Wilson. She is amazing.
Ann Wilson Is an Absolute Legend Of Rock n Roll!!! ❤❤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I will admit I had / have a huge crush on Nancy Wilson. I always thought this was “our” song💝
Ha ha. Right on.
I swear, when Nancy Wilson hits that lick on the guitar to start “Crazy On You” I can fill the adrenaline course through my body every time.
The intro is great, but the riff right after the intro is why i love this song so much
@Keith Owen 💯🎸🔥 it doesn't get better than that!!
Nearly killed me! first time I heard it I was driving down some godforsaken road in Arizona or NM and almost lost it when the riff kicked in.
O well said..along with her trademark " kick",what a rush!!!
I count myself lucky to have been a teenager when this came out.
I like Ann, she's soft spoken and humble, it seems, so refreshing coming from such a incredible talent.
Still get chills listening to Crazy
I love the fact that each of the members were able to give their take on everything. Excellent stuff!
Thank you. We do our best.
3 of the members..
God bless my dad for getting me into Heart! He did it right by introducing me to their early albums of Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen, and beyond.
Even now, I think I'd turn into a fawning, babbling idiot if I was seated across from this great lady. Did anybody rock as hard as Miss Wilson? She was just so damn cool when she was on the stage and of course, her voice was otherworldly. I'm glad you have better composure than I and were able to conduct a fantastic interview.
I would most certainly not even be able to speak, just make weird gurgling and clicking sounds personally. Then probably spontaneously combust.
@@thecman26 Glad it's not just me. I'm totally not the type who gets easily starstruck - I can count on one hand the number of celebrities I'm actively wowed by. Ann Wilson is one. Stevie Nicks would likewise send me into unmanly vapors.
@@emmalfal I'm with ya! Due to previous jobs I have met many people in very high national positions and was very impressed but not as star struck as I could imagine meeting somebody like Ann! As well Stevie Nick's would do it for me too!
Gorgeous and fabulous singer....awesome range
I can honestly say, if I ever met Ann Wilson I would break down in tears. Her voice has given en me so many emotions over the years I don't know how I would handle it
Anne and Nancy are rock goddesses. Their music is eternal. Anne's voice just is a siren for me... I'd capsize ANY ship under Anne's spell with her at ANY age!!!
OMG...it's Ann Wilson from the Wilson Sisters. One of the best rock bands of all time. Fantastic
Shes still gorgeous and nancy tore this song a new one and cemented herself as the real deal. Its crazy because i only knew of heart because my sisters listened to mostly their 80's stuff and while Ann was one of my first crushes and the 80's stuff wasnt bad (the Alone video still gets me, wow) i never realized how good they really were until yrs later. Im gonna go watch the alone video now!!!!
In the 70's they were known as "The female Led Zeppelin".
@@dukecraig2402 High praise indeed, and fitting. Straight On is one of the best jams ive ever heard and one of my favorite songs period. Bass, guitar, drums, vocals, everything is on point. Thats the song I crank in my 87 firebird before i head out into the night to tear things up (before the great plague anyway), gets me pumped.
@@ninji5226
I used to do the same exact thing in a '73 Corvette, wait till late at night then take it out and tear ass all through the winding mountain roads where I live.
I was a young kid in the late 70's who was just discovering rock music. The song Barracuda came on the radio and it blew me away. Here was a song that did not sound like anything else I had ever heard, the guitars were unique and Ann's voice brought it all together into a world of power and melody. Yea, I was hooked
Ann Nancy and the Band are sweethearts. Thanks for keeping it clean. Nancy and Ann are gorgeous.
I saw Heart/April Wine in Penticton B.C. Canada when I was early teens. My older sisters and their bf's took me along. This memory was definitely a highlight.
Seeing and hearing them way back them in Wheeling, West Virginia, with our great friends Tim 'n' Deb.
It was so many years ago, yet the memory lingers clear and strong.
Heart hd the best and clearest sound I have ever heard at a concert.
😎💙💛💙💛💙💛
1st saw Ann and Nancy Wilson perform "Crazy on You" on TV. Loved the way the two related performing. Ann sang like no one else and Nancy was in the zone playing her guitar. Loved the performers and the song so went out and bought the album. I still have it.
Saw Heart with Joan Jett fronting at Pine Knob. Was amazed at how these two gals could still rock and Annes’ voice! Going into their 70’s and my wife and I were amazed they sounded just as great and fresh as they did IN the ‘70’s!!! Loved every minute!!!
Ann and Nancy are legends!!
