Ann Wilson is the singer and the Guitarist is Nancy Wilson her sister ! They are legends .
Amen to that
I 2nd that Amen! Check out them covering Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven, it is à tribute to Led Zeppelin.
BTW: Ann Wilson was 62 yrs. old when she did the tribute
You have to listen to all their songs, they are all great 👍🏽
Not sure if it's on RUclips, but Alice in Chains teamed up with the Wilson Sisters' cousin, country singer Gretchen Wilson, for an amazing live-version of this song a while back. The talent definitely runs in the family. It was at a tribute to Heart.
No auto-tune, no lip synching--just straight up, balls out talent. This is the standard our generation measures music by, and why we say there is nothing today like it. We were spoiled!
This is not live, studio version playing to video track. There are live versions out there.
I don’t think we were spoiled as much as the people have gotten lazy
Modern music sucks it’s not even music just electronic noise all of it since the early 2000’s
If it was not a band from a earlier time playing in the 2000’s it was just computer driven junk
@@marvbush5592 I totally agree, there's absolutely no comparison to musical talent then from what we've had in the last 20 years.These gal's rocked it then & definitely still do now!! Heart ❤️❤️ in concert never disappoints seen them 2 time's & thankful that I had the chance!!!
People who use autotune need to stay off the mike.
Here! Here!!
Granted, there have been many 💎💎💎 since and out there today. 👍🏻
THESE SISTERS ARE SIMPLY PURE BADASSES!!!!!💪🔥💃🔥 FIRE 🔥
Absolutely the badass women!
Magic man is one of their best songs
YES!
YES!!!
Yes
Yes!! They used the song in the movie The Virgin Suicides. Now whenever I hear it I see the movie in my head.
Magic Man and Crazy on You are both amazing and must-listen for the Female Fridays (or any other day for that matter).
"Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "Alone", it doesn't end... You know a band is good when their Greatest Hits is a double disc with no duds!
What about love
All I wanna do is make love to you
They are one of the Greatest
Dog and the Butterfly!
YES!!!
Check out their tribute to Led Zeppelin for the Kennedy Center Honors.
@@mickeyR5267 Seen it! It's really cool to see Jimmy's face during the guitar solo! ;-]
I was up close and personal when Ann Wilson sang at a private event for attorneys a few years ago. She was in her 60s and I’m not exaggerating. She sounded EXACTLY the same. I went home and played original recordings and she had sang in the same damn keys. She sings as easily as we breathe
Awesome!!! Wow! Thank you for sharing this! You rock!🤘😃💯💯💯💯
If you want to treat yourself, watch her and Heart singing Stairway to Heaven in 2012 at the Kennedy Center Honors when Led Zepplin was honored.
@@gl2996 heard that was great. Will do
@@gl2996 It was a hoot seeing Plant with tears streaming down his face and Page grinning like a truant schoolboy :D
The Wilson sisters (HEART), Stevie Nicks, and Pat Benatar are my 3 (4 technically) fav female rockers!!! 34 y/o dude here stating this proudly.
They also did an amazing rendition of Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center when they inducted Led Zeppelin.
They also do an amazing cover of Led Zeppelin's song Rock N Roll. Not at the Kennedy Center but they have done it and even recorded it.
@@ajruther67 that too! I was just thinking of something I've seen here that hasn't gotten blocked, if you know what I mean.
👍👍🎯
YES to Hearts performance of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors Ceremony!!!! You are on a roll today with your suggestions miss Elyse! Rock on girl!! :)
@@michaelgilbert197 ta!
The Led Zeppelin tribute where they do Stairway to Heaven is the best. Ann Wilson is the only person that can even come close to Robert Plant. There are tears in his eyes watching them sing it. You have to watch that one.
agree can't completely. It is the award ceremony for Led Zeppelin. Kennedy Center for the Arts I believe.
iT IS SO COOL TO SEE ROBERT PLANT WIPING THE TEEARS AWAY.
I get goosebumps every time I watch that I might have to watch it again right now LOL
It is magic!
Yes, It was the Kennedy Center Awards. Ann killed it. She still has the powerful voice!
Amber, you ask about what triggered the anger in this song. According to Ann, in an interview she said it was the result of an early interview with a rock journalist. During the interview, not knowing Ann and Nancy were sisters , he asked Ann about her relationship with Nancy, intimating they might have a lesbian relationship going on. He thought he had some hot news to report. Remember this is back in the mid 70s. Ann responded with incredulity “ you do know she’s my sister don’t you”? Well the journalist went ahead with his article and intimated in it some sort of relationship.
Needless to say when Ann saw the article she was livid and this song is the result.
It just goes to show nothing’s changed. Journalists were fake news, lying scumbags back then just like they are now.
This comment should be pinned since it answers the question she asked
Not exactly. The song is sbout The outrage and Nancy felt when they found out their record company's publicist who, as a publicity stunt released a made-up story of an incestuous affair involving Ann and her sister Nancy Wilson. Nancy and Ann were outraged. I believe it was one of the reasons they wound up getting out of their contract with that record company.
@@heronpage3883 That was the cover story of why they left Mushroom Records. They were demanding more money because of their success with the first album and they were tied to a two record deal.
Don't forget the part where a record company publicist was the one putting that idea into the head of the journalist. The publicist was going for "shock" and "buzz". Nothing new about trolling :(.
@@johnhorner5711 I don’t doubt that for a second. The whole industry is rife with snakes and back stabbing scumbags.
The realest thing ever said on American Idol: "You don't just wake up in the morning singing like Ann Wilson!" -- Randy Jackson
American idol is such a staged show..they already know who's going to win..
@@rock-ym3uf that was not the point of his comment. Lol.
well, Ann Wilson does
@@Flackon daily voice exercises, daily practice, daily singing, without overdoing it and straining her vocal chords.
I never knew Ann Wilson, but I promise you she worked on her singing E V E R Y D A Y ! (for years)
The Wilson sisters (HEART), Stevie Nicks, and Pat Benatar are my 3 (4 technically) fav female rockers!!! 34 y/o dude here stating this proudly.
This was an attack song against a record promoter. Who inquired to their faces, if the "sisters" were in an incestuous relationship. They were furious, and Ann wrote the song that night in her hotel room while on tour
And then continued to spread the lie, because he thought it would increase record sales.
Oh, I didn't know that. I knew they were mad at a promoter, but I didn't know why. Ugh - how awful, to create false gossip (well, any gossip that hurts people) is the worst, especially for one's own advantage. Good for them for getting back with this song!
That predatory promoter's attitude/life ... 🦆💨🤢
Annnnnd furthermore, he has 💩4🧠s ... 😤
Just think...if the promoter hadn't said what he had said, we may have never had this classic rock standard! Thank you DBag promoter! Lol
I’ve always loved that story. americansongwriter.com/barracuda-heart-behind-the-song/
When all male bands were the norm, Heart was one of the first female led bands.
You have to listen to all their songs!!!!!!!
When Heart came out, Ann Wilson was considered the female singer equivalent to Led Zeppelin's singer Robert Plant.
... Until their MTV era!
She’s twice the singer he ever was.
@@docbearmb
Really? You're comparing female to male voices? 🙄
@@sv3931 No, I’m responding to someone who did.
That's interesting since Heart sang "Stairway to Heaven" when Led Zep was honored at the 2012 Kennedy Center Awards and hit it out of the park. Robert Plant was known to hate it when people did it, but he was fine with Heart doing it because he knew they would do it right. You do have to have the right voice for it and Robert and Ann have it. Anybody who hasn't seen it, PLEASE check it out!
Ann Wilson has one of the greatest voices ever, her power, sense of pitch, and absurd range are second to none.
The Wilson sisters (HEART), Stevie Nicks, and Pat Benatar are my 3 (4 technically) fav female rockers!!! 34 y/o dude here stating this proudly.
Different styles but Lisa Fischer can hang. 🤷♂️
Grace slick too
“Barracuda” was written by four members of Heart-lead singer Ann Wilson, singer-guitarist Nancy Wilson, guitarist Roger Fisher, and drummer Mike Derosier. The collaborative effort it took to write the song paid off when it hit Number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on September 3, 1977.
The Led Zeppelin tribute, which lots of commenters have alluded to, was about 40 years later. Ann was 63 when she sang the tribute, and absolutely nailed it.
They started out as a Led Zepplin cover band in the Seattle area, If I remember correctly (the town part). Nancy learned to wail to sound like Robert Plant.
And the rest is history.
Yeah they nailed it! Brought tears to Robert Plant's eyes. Amazing performance!
They used to play Zeppelin covers at the Aquarius Tavern in Seattle in the seventies.
One of the best covers ever
That performance was AMAZING! One of my favs.
Sad story behind the song is that when they were being marketed, some idiot thought it would be a great idea to write a story about them implying that there was incest between the sisters. So they started referring to journalists as barracudas. That's what the song is about
Whoa. Had no idea.
I read that even their record company was part of this would-be scandal. They dropped the record company.
giggles...If I may add abit of detail? This song was apparently written in response
to advertising bill-boarded by Mushroom Records insinuating Ann und Nancy were
lovers of incest,...as well a promoter after their show in Detroit ask Ann how her
lover was doing, referring to Nancy.
So Ann wrote this song that night in her hotel room speaking of das greedy,
rumoring, fortune & fame of media und das record (music) industry, comparing
them to a predator fish (Barracuda).
Ann & Nancy were supposedly novice Scuba, had experienced deep-sea fishing,
loved das ocean, ships, pirates, etc...und a special love of visiting light-houses.
A rather funny thing ist that quite many people supposedly protested by signing
petitions to boycott Mushroom Records promising not to purchase records with
their label until (MR) took das advertising down...It was gone in 3 days, und
HEART never played that promoter's venue in Detroit again. :-)
I haven't bothered to fact-check das complete story und I wasn't born yet, but it
makes me smile, so I'm fine with it. :-) It isn't life-altering to ponder.
Have a fun day.
Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
@@ivankaleoniefuchs333 Thank you for the additional history. Makes me glad that Ann and Nancy prevailed.
I saw Heart in an outdoor concert ( about 1973). We stood about 4 rows from the stage & our mouths dropped open about how INCREDIBLE they were!! They were all so beautiful( especially Anne) & her voice was heavenly! Such talent! I think out tickets were $8 back then!
same here..about $7.50 in 76
I saw them open for Loggins and Messina. They blew LM out of the bldg. The concert was DONE when they finished and lots of people walked out because Heart had just handed it to us...their heart.
"Crazy On You" and "Magic Man" are also a MUST from Heart!! :)
if you check out crazy on you, it has to be live!
@@Urzu71 yeah Nancy jamming on acoustic in the beginning is fire :D
Ann Wilson was one of the greatest female rock vocalists of all time.
Was or is?
Is!!
Who is she competing against for that title exactly? Always found Heart to be very meh. Nothing special going on with this song... basic chuggy riff and corny high pitch chorus. Sounds like a cheap knock off of Yes who were also shit 😂
More like is the greatest
My mom actually met her and got a picture with her
Back in the 70s, every FM radio station played "Hotel California" every hour. It was such a relief when Barracuda came on!
For REAL. True story right there.
Nancy Wilson is also one of the best female guitarists of all time.
Not just one of the best female guitarists. One of the best guitarists, period. Also a vote here for Pat Benatar - Heartbreaker or anything else.
@@michaelrawling9085 On what song is Nancy's guitar prowess highlighted?
You mean, one of the best guitarists.
I don't know if I'd go that far. She's very good at what she does.
@@TheNoncritical1 Agreed. The intro to Crazy On You is quite good. But saying she's one of the greatest guitarists of all time is utterly laughable. Good songwriter.
Heart is legendary. Ann Wilson has such a phenomenal voice. Magic Man, Straight On, Crazy on You, Dog & Butterfly
I saw Heart several decades ago, and I always liked Straight On.
Dog and the Butterfly...............Soooooooooooooooo damn GOOD!
The Wilson sisters (HEART), Stevie Nicks, and Pat Benatar are my 3 (4 technically) fav female rockers!!! 34 y/o dude here stating this proudly.
It is always so entertaining when young people first experience something that has been around for over 40 years. I hope you keep educating yourselves. There are hundreds more where this came from.
The 70s 1976 BABY
@@theodoreritola7641 I think Barracuda was actually released in 1977, But either year would have been over 40 years ago. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Closer to 1000 more. Even the worst song from that period beats anything being done today, at least what is playing on the radio. Bet there are lots of talents out there that do not get airplay...good thing we can always check out anyone on youtube.
Their song “Crazy on You” would be a GREAT one to react to.
If you did this one on Female Fridays, you can get a 2fer. Ann belting out the lyrics and Nancy going insane on the guitar in the opening!
Alot of fans do not even know Crazy on You is a cover. It's so well done.
yessss!!!!
@@m.vondrake5534 i did not know that. whose song was it originally?
@@m.vondrake5534 i think you’re mistaken. Several websites attribute Ann as writing the song and lyrics and Nancy writing the intro
Ann Wilson has arguably the best Female voice in Rock music. The song is about a sleazy record executive.
No doubt!
Heart is the real deal. True rock legends
Yes!!!!!! Now you need to react to Crazy on you by heart!!!!!! Kiss ass rockers!✌❤
I'll bet you meant kick ass rockers. : )
@@seerofallthatisobvious1316 yes!😂😂
YEESS Crazy on you!!
Do heart at the kennedy center. Led Zepplin in attendance for a ceremony for them and Heart sang their song of songs Stairway to Heaven. Nailed it. Led Zepplin in tears.
It was outstanding. I'm from there home town they still rock even into there early 60's
YES!! That performance is killer! Blown away!
But this duo needs to 1st. watch the Live Led Zeppelin version of "Stairway To Heaven" at the M.S.G 1973 show,
then watch Heart's cover at the Kennedy Center.. ♠W.G.
Love that performance
You can’t go wrong with Heart The Wilson sisters are unbelievable. Find a song called Straight on live A 70s version
Straight On is amazing!
This song is definitely about them being mad at someone. This was their reaction to their record label (Mushroom records) who created a rumor for publicity - that the sisters were lovers (so incest).
When Ann found out she went back to her hotel and wrote this song as a reaction and the "barracuda" is the business people in the record industry. They left Mushroom for another label and released this song with them.
But there are definitely many references to the label people being "barracudas": You lying so low in the weeds; I bet you gonna ambush me;
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
; Now wouldn't you, barracuda?"
I never knew that
Good on them
In their day very few could touch them in song power & amazing shows. I think they hung them up now but they were the female zeitgeists, I saw them twice & I was in awe
They were talking about a manager
@@SuperFlowback It was a record label promotional manager. So still a label employee - see how that works.
Melissa S you are sort of right. Here is an interview with Ann Wilson where she speaks about what actually happened. ruclips.net/video/krAZ-lvcrvE/видео.html
I think every male in my High School was in love with Ann Wilson! Not only does she have an incredible set of pipes, she was also drop dead gorgeous!
I toured with them for a bit when I drove for Ozark Mountain Leasing hauling their gear from venue to venue for a few months so enjoyed seeing and hearing them many times live and I can say they treated everyone very kindly, even us truck drivers.
Sweet! What a great memory
My uncle Leon often managed to get into his fair share of backstage areas with a homemade printed lanyard badge and a fancy looking camera... he just had a pass that said "PRESS" on it, and this was one of the bands he has photos of from back stage. Sneaky bastard. xD
Ann Wilson has one of the strongest female voices in rock. :) Glad y'all enjoyed it! Happy Weekend y'all!
No doubt, she doesn't seem to have lost anything. Heart was my first concert along with some other Legends at Cal jam 2.
Ann Wilson has one of the strongest ...voices in rock!
Take out the word "female" and your statement is still true. One of the all-time greats.
Not many could give the powerful voice of Grace Slick competition. Ann is one who absolutely could.
The Wilson sisters (HEART), Stevie Nicks, and Pat Benatar are my 3 (4 technically) fav female rockers!!! 34 y/o dude here stating this proudly.
It was not just them being women on stage as you seemed to like: The entire song is about the sexism they faced in the music industry, and throwing it back in their faces in a very unapologetic way. It's one of the most classic rock songs ever written and performed and it's by two women, both sisters, who said no to the sexism and became symbols of feminism. It's an incredible and powerful song and it's also a liberation song. 👍
The lead singer is Ann Wilson and her sister Nancy Wilson plays Guitar and sings.
The song is actually about another woman. Someone in the industry.
There was nothing sexist about it, lmao. And the person is question is also another woman, interestingly.
Here is what I heard Nancy Wilson say about what the song is about, and yes, the anger is genuine.
According to Nancy, the band was at an industry party, held at the hotel where they were staying.
An executive, a drunken pervert who has never been named, walked up to them and said, "Hey, Ann, how's your love life?"
Confused, she motioned to her boyfriend and said, "Well, Michael's right here, ask him."
"No, Ann, baby," he said, "I mean, your sister lover!"
Ann responded by slapping him across the face, and then going upstairs to her room. Furious, she began to write the song.
I have heard all kinds of variations of this story from different sources, but this came directly from Nancy Wilson in a radio interview.
Frankly, I don't know how she didn't beat the shit out of him.
@@jtoland2333 I’ve heard it too and agree with you. 💯
Back in the 70s riding around in your car with friends, we had one great song after another come on the radio. At the time we didn’t realize what a fantastic time we lived in! 60s and 70s music still is the best music ever written, in my opinion! Born in 1956. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Born 1960. We have the best music ever. Rock, Protest, Disco, Folk. Psychedelic, Swamp Rock, Soul, White soul, Metal and the best concerts ever and radio. And driving where music was necessary. Western Australia.
@@jennifermarlow. I’ve been to Nova Scotia 4-5 times, AND LOVED IT! I was planning to move thereafter retirement, but obligations have put that on pause for a while. Didn’t h e much time to explore because of being on a cruise ship and only in NS for one day t a time. Loved Halifax, with all the history including the Titanic museum. I cried while I was there. I could feel the pain and despair from all the artifacts on display. Also loved the Fort on the hill. Sorry can’t quite remember the name at this moment. Was there for a harvest festival with great produce, was sad that we couldn’t bring any of it on board. While walking around, I fell in love with this neighborhood that every property had a cottage with white picket fences. It was a capsule in time. That’s when I told myself this is where I wanted to live after retirement. My visits were in the timeframe of 2014 thru 2018. After all this COVID ordeal has passed, I will be back! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
I was probably playing the same songs at the same time in Rapid :)
I was a kid. But I had an older Brother who taught me so much. Not all good things. But he didn't introduce so much music. And then in the 80s I was a Head Banger. Still banging
Born in 59, I have to agree!
Ann has the most incredible voice. She can rock and sing beautiful ballads. Dog And Butterfly is a great example of her softer yet still amazing vocals.And Nancy is a Guitar God! Oh and she can sing beautifully as well.
She does that with Dreamboat Annie too.
The Wilson sisters (HEART), Stevie Nicks, and Pat Benatar are my 3 (4 technically) fav female rockers!!! 34 y/o dude here stating this proudly.
The sisters in Heart are bad ass. They are Ann Wilson the lead singing, and her younger sister Nancy on guitar and backing vocals.They both write all of their songs. They are definitely Icons in the world of Rock!!
The Wilson sisters revealed in various interviews that the song was about Heart's anger towards an ad Mushroom Records placed in trade publications implying that Ann and Nancy were lesbians having an affair. The song focuses on Ann's rage towards a promoter who came up to her after a concert in Detroit asking how her "lover" was. She initially thought he was talking about her then-boyfriend - band member Michael Fisher. After the promoter revealed he was talking about her sister Nancy Wilson, Ann became angry and went back to her hotel room to write the song. Nancy put suitably angry music to the words to complete the song comparing the sleazy side of music to a dangerous fish.
It's all about a bad Psychedelic Mushroom🍄trip. 😎
It wasn't a promoter. Ann Wilson interview about Baracuda: ruclips.net/video/krAZ-lvcrvE/видео.html
The driving guitar music and memorable riff was by Roger Fisher - not Nancy.
As a junior in High School when this song came out, my biggest issue back then was which sister was I more in love with, Nancy or Ann? LOL. They were and have been badass every day.
Nope been Nancy since day one.
I was in love with Ann for years!
Probably one of the best female rock guitarists. Her intro to "Crazy on you" is insane
“Straight On” is my favorite Heart song. Everyone in my high school had this album! ✌️
I love the Wilson sisters. My fav from them is "Crazy on you," about a friend that came back from Vietnam who changed.
The Wilson Sisters, Ann and Nancy, are legends! My favorite Heart song is still their first big hit from 1976 called "Magic Man." I recommend a studio recording as opposed to a live version. They also are known for "Crazy for You."
They rocked at CalJam2
OMG! My favorite band! Ann and Nancy Wilson are amazing 🥰 You need to hear them do Magic Man!!
Ann Wilson is a legend when speaking about rock vocalists. Take the female part out of it.
truth
Facts!
this, thank you
And these Ladies are 70 and 73 years old and still Rock Hard !! 🤘
If no one else has suggested her, try some Joan Jett - I Hate Myself For Loving You or I Love Rock 'n' Roll. Other female artists or female fronted bands I'd suggest would be:
Pat Benatar - Hell Is For Children or Promises In The Dark (but there's so many great Pat Benatar songs to choose from!)
10,000 Maniacs with Natalie Merchant - Jezebel or Like The Weather (lots of songs down that rabbit hole, too)
Evanescense - Call Me When You're Sober
Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl
Liz Phair - Supernova
Alanis Morrisette - You Oughtta Know or All I Really Want
Annie Lennox - Why or Walking On Broken Glass or try her with the Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams or Missionary Man
Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen or Rhiannon
The Pretenders (for some Chrissie Hinds) - Brass In Pocket
Garbage (for Shirley Manson) - Stupid Girl
So many awesome songs from the artists I listed, and so many more that I haven't! You could revisit these artists many times over, as well as Janis Joplin, who you'll hopefully listen to more of!
The Runaways (Joan Jett and Lita Ford): Cherry Bomb, School Days. Joan Jett: Any song. Lita Ford: Kiss Me Deadly, "Close My Eyes Forever, Lisa, Shot of Poison. Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit & Volunteers. Stevie Nicks: Sometimes It's a Bitch. Blondie(Debbie Harry): Any song: Rapture, Heart of Glass, Maria, Call Me, Atomic, etc. Pat Benatar: Any Song: Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Love is a Battlefield, Heartbreaker, Hell is for Children, Invincible, Sex as a Weapon, etc. Scandal (Patty Smyth): The Warrior, Good Bye to You. Eurythmics (Annie Lennox): Sweat Dreams, Here Comes the Rain Again, Solo: Why, Walking on Broken Glass. Kim Carnes: Betty Davis Eyes. Bonnie Tyler.: Total Eclipse of the Heart which should lead you to Jim Steinman and then Meatloaf with Bat out of Hell. Just a start.
If your wanting a more modern female singer: Florence and the Machine! Dog Days is her IT song, Queen of Peace is haunting. Hunger and Big God are also treats!
If you're throwing out Joan Jett songs go for Crimson in Clover.
This song is about the Wilson sisters being royaly pissed off with their label. Story goes that their label, in an effort to drum up salacious controversy around the undeniable hot sisters, started a rumor that they were incestuous lovers.
You have half the story. Here is an interview with Ann about Baracuda ruclips.net/video/krAZ-lvcrvE/видео.html
As I've gotten older I realize how lucky I was to grow up during the time before auto-tune when artists had real, natural talent and how accessible bands in concert were. We could see two to three bands for $9-13. "Heart" is another band that sounds exactly like their albums in concert. (I keep posting the same comment on different videos but it's true, no lip-syncing back in my day).
Great comment!
The best part is fans were talented as well. Just a great time to be young and alive.
Ann and Nancy both had problems with how the record label wanted them to wear skimpy sexy clothes and they refused because that’s not the kind of women they are.
giggles...I'm sure that could have happened sometimes, but Ann und Nancy wore
very sexy clothes (not skimpy) in a few of their music videos during das 80s & 90s.
They were hotties I think. :-) This song was apparently written in response to
advertising bill-boarded by Mushroom Records insinuating Ann und Nancy were
lovers of incest,...as well a promoter after their show in Detroit ask Ann how her
lover was doing, referring to Nancy.
So Ann wrote this song that night in her hotel room speaking of das greedy,
rumoring, fortune & fame of media und das record (music) industry, comparing them
to a predator fish (Barracuda).
Ann & Nancy were supposedly novice Scuba, had experienced deep-sea fishing,
loved das ocean, ships, pirates, etc...und a special love of visiting light-houses.
A rather funny thing ist that quite many people supposedly protested by signing
petitions to boycott Mushroom Records promising not to purchase records with
their label until (MR) took das advertising down...It was gone in 3 days, und
HEART never played that promoter's venue in Detroit again? :-)
I haven't bothered to fact-check das complete story und I wasn't born yet, but it
makes me smile, so I'm fine with it. :-) It isn't life-altering to ponder.
Have a fun day.

This song was a reaction to a reporter that suggested they were lesbians in a sexual relationship. They're sisters.
@@ivankaleoniefuchs333 its true they did cave to the pressures in the 80s to be more sexy even though the sisters did not really want to go along with it. But by that time the legal issues they had with former labels and contracts and band members had left the sisters needing to make serious money so they went along with the skimpier outfits and even some of the songs they recorded but were not crazy about. Money talks.
Yea that time period was the worst but they did prove that you didn't skimpy outfits to be sexy
Really? Because even before they were signed by any label - Ann (and later when Nancy joined) would both wear very short skirts on stage for their high school dance bookings and other bookings as well.
Them pretending now that their sex appeal was not part of their draw back then - and they knew it - is ridiculous.
OMG! I was going to suggest Heart. So glad you guys did this. Crazy on You and Magic Man are my favorites. Anne and Nancy Wilson. You are right Amber ..... Pure talent !
Dog and butterfly
Dreamboat Annie - killer vocal. She was and remains a goddess. Saw the sisters just a couple of years ago (not long before Covid set in) and they were as phenomenal as ever. Nancy is no slouch on that guitar.
Back then you will find that it was all about the talent. No one cared if it was a dude or girl. We didn't care about color. It's weird. We got rid of all that stupid and now we have gone back to stupid.
Stupid buys votes and sells division, which increases votes.
Such an odd take considering this very song was made in reaction to people accusing the sisters of being incestuous lesbian lovers. Anne Wilson herself said, "...I know we were just being cast as cute girls rather than people who had ideas and abilities." Listeners may not have particularly cared but the sisters had to fight uphill in the music industry because of who they were, despite their talent. Wonder how many didn't win that fight.
Amen! Maybe my grandchild will experience what we experienced. I hope so.
Pat Benetar next! "Invincible ", "Hell Is For Children ",or "Heartbreaker"
Or the second video MTV played when it debuted: “You better Run”
Ann Wilson is a savagely exciting singer. I love a string women!!!! These two ladies are LEGENDS!!!
Anns voice Is Legendary. Another legend Is Stevie Knicks of Fleetwood Mac. Gypsy and Dreams for her
Ann and Nancy Wilson are a force that's unstoppable. Of course they are they're sisters! You've got to check out trheir song "Alone" and their tribute to Led Zeppelin when they sing "Stairway To Heaven." It's here on RUclips.
And it is absolutely spine tingling
Like Aerosmith, one of those groups that were big in the 70s...then reformulated and made hits again in the 80s (and of course, Aerosmith into the 90s and 00s)
Alone is my favorite song by heart. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I live in Canada and I can remember going to a bar one Friday night to hear a band called Heart. It was quite possibly one of the best performances that I ever saw. We left that night knowing that these people were going places. About a year later the album Dreamboat Annie came out. They had made the grade.
Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, this, is rock n roll....and Ann is the Queen.
Ann Wilson's voice is legendary, amazing singer. My favorite Heart song is "Dog and Butterfly"
Saw Heart at one of the super bowl of rock concerts at solder field. Emerson, lake and palmer was the head liner and Heart blew them away!
"These females got off on their voices and their pure talent." Now you know why we say they don't make 'em like they used to.
Suggestions for FF: Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - “Do you want to touch me?”, Pat Benatar - “Heartbreaker”, Halestorm - “I love the misery.”
Absolutely incredible ladies. I was a very young teen when this came out. Loved it of course. But it was one day when i was cleaning the kitchen and "Dog an Butterfy" came on the radio and brought me to tears. Fell head over heals. The cover of there album "Little Queen" also contributed to that, as any teen boy could attest. Fast forward 35 years to my favorite Heart performance of "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honoring Led Zepplin. THAT IS A MUST SEE! Please add that to your list.
Pat Benatar next week!!! Or the NEWLY inducted Go-Gos into Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Yes! We need to hear Heartbreaker or Hit me with your best shot
Pat Benatar Hell is for children
@@carlsmith4505 YES!! I second Hell Is For Children.
@@carlsmith4505 I third the motion.
Yes, I agree. Pat Benatar. "Promises in the Dark"
You HAVE to watch them do stairway to heaven at the Led Zeppelin tribute. It’s an amazing collection of talent and an inspirational performance
Ugh, the Wilson sisters! Both so gorgeous and overloaded with pure talent. ❤️❤️
So glad you did this and that you loved it. I wanted to be Ann Wilson so bad. She was tough, sassy, sexy and a powerhouse vocalist. And it makes me happy seeing women kicking ass with the men, sometimes just as good if not better. I am going to love Female Friday!!!!!
The Undisputed QUEENS of Rock, Ann Wilson and her sister on guitar, Nancy Wilson! Does NOT get better than these two powerhouses!
I just can't get enough of thst song and video. Anne and Nancy are true legends with true raw talent.
They were big Led Zeppelin fans and they did a tribute song to Led Zeppelin (Stairway to Heaven) when Zeppelin was honored at the Kennedy Center honors with the Obama’s in attendance. Their rendition of the Zeppelin classic is just unbelievable. You should definitely react to it.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Heart back in that time; but as a musician myself, I loved the grit and talent of all these players. Years later; I appreciate them even more; since we lost so much musicianship to tech, sampling, etc. That's why you youngsters love it.. it's real music, real passion, and real performance.
The lead singer's name is Anne Wilson and the guitarist is her sister Nancy. They are both amazing 👏that's why they are alot of people's favorite band ♥
Another band for female Friday is No Doubt. Songs- just a girl, and spiderwebs. I have a feeling you might recognize the singer.
Yesssss!!! Please! Both of those songs are awesome.
The singer of no Doubt is Gwen Stefani, the band grew up in Anaheim, Ca. And Adrian is from Long Beach, Ca. There are primarily, Ska, and Rasta funk/ with rock spun into it they are a great band.
hey jay , hey amber , i heard this song when i was very young and loved it ever since . such a great band , their tribute to led zeppelin is fantastic ANN(vocals) and NANCY(guitar) WILSON
Heart was from Seattle and in the mid 1970's when they were just ascending, they papered high schools all around the region with fliers, and at that time it was a broadly-held prejudice that "chicks" could not really rock and roll, so in their promotion it was emphasized that they were not a "chick band." They were one of the first bands I ever saw in concert back then, and just a few years ago, shortly before Covid, I saw them perform at a casino-- there was more than one joke about walkers, but they still brought it.
Heart was formed, cut their teeth, and recorded their first two albums in Vancouver Canada. Mike Fisher was a draft dodger and was hiding out in Vancouver so they certainly didn't play around Seattle when they were "ascending".
@@BobSoltis1 But they did pepper the area around my high school with fliers and I did go see them in concert, and that was around '76 or '77.
@@maryw812 Two totally different time-frames.
Ann and Nancy Wilson, sisters. Ann did the singing and Nancy danced her fingers up and down the guitar neck...I so love their music! Thanx for the memories here! PEACE!!!!!
Straight out of Seattle’s 70’s rock scene they went on to being women’s rock icons of our generations. Dreamboat Annie is a masterpiece album and their first-check it out!
They were not a Seattle band. They formed, cut their teeth, and did their first two albums as part of the Vancouver, Canada, rock scene.
They are a Canadian-American band
I saw this band in Milwaukee in the early 1970's while on their first tour as the lead act for Jefferson Starship. The Wilson sisters, Ann & Nancy, led the band that blew the crowd away with powerful vocals, drive, energy, and an overall great sound.
Ann got upset and wrote this song about some creeps who kept asking about her and her sister, Nancy (the guitarist), and not in a nice way, spreading horrible rumors about their relationship. Great, iconic song! Heart has a bunch of big hits, with some, like this song, rockers from the '70s, and others from the '80s. Please, react to "Magic Man" or "Crazy On You," next. They are from the '70s and rock out. Love your channel!
WOOT WOOT getting some women power up in here LOL... Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks .. let's GO
Yes! Stevie with "Gold dust woman".
Anne's voice is outstanding. You can't tell the difference between live and studio recording. Simply amazing!
Love these sisters! Ann is my favorite female vocalist! Pat Benetar is another awesome singer! Heart and Pat have so many hits,I wouldn`t know where to start..lol.. Magic Man is my fave by Heart and Fire and Ice and Love Is A Battlefield are my two faves by Pat..Keep On Rockin` :)
Legends...not only Ann and Nancy,but a great band behind them. Going 40 plus years now. Check out their rendition of “ Stairway to Heaven” at the 2013 Kennedy Center Honors...they had Led Zeppelin crying.This song is 45 years old now.
Suggestions for FF: Suzanne Vega: "Luka"; Bobbie Gentry: "Ode To Billy Joe"; Janis Ian: "At Seventeen".
Ode To Billy Joe was recently played at a friend's funeral.
I was glad that the younger folks got to hear it in a day of cookie-cutter music.
Love Luka!!!!
Anything by Linda Ronstadt.
Janis Joplin's Me ad Bobby McGee and/or Piece of My Heart.
Ann and Nancy are fierce. Nancy harmonizes with her sister and it just sounds so amazing.
Yeah like someone commented, these types of bands are raw talent, nothing superficial or shallow about Heart, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nick's from Fleetwood Mac and many others. Thank you so much.
I noticed that others have recommended you listen to their cover of "Stairway To Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin. It is, honestly in my opinion, the BEST cover I've heard of that song! Ann and Nancy Wilson were the perfect ones to sing it to Led Zeppelin themselves!!!!
The greatest Seattle classic rock band of all time🤘🏼
Amen! To that!
Who were formed, cut their teeth, and recorded their first two albums in Vancouver Canada.
They are LEGEND! That song IS LEGEND! That song is not only hype AF, LIT, Fyre, Sexy, provocative, racey, whatever....IT IS AWESOME Generationally.
They did a remarkable tribute to Zeppelin for Stairway to Heaven but recommend you listen to the original first. Magic Man was a great song of theirs.
AHHH...My man brought it hell yeah!!!....Crazy on you is a must too and Magic man by Heart! Im diggin the female friday yall! Brilliant and unique idea guys.
I am 65 years old. I have seen Heart 5 times over the years. They truly are legends. Think we will be listening to today's music 50 years from now? NO WAY ! And 50 years from now, guess what , they'll still be playing HEART ! Love them 😊😊😊
Check out Heart many years later doing a tribute to Led Zeppelin (w/them in the audience) - Stairway to Heaven @ the Kennedy Center Awards in 2012) - Phenomenal!
Hey Heart also did a great version of the great Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. These sisters have been rocking us out for a long time. Glad I’m subscribed to your channel man.
"These Dreams" allows Nancy to show off her beautiful voice.
I think they were equals in vocal talent, but Nancy preferred playing more than singing and left that to Ann.
Oh yeah man Heart is great. Their song "Magic Man" is also a good one.
These Ladies are still touring and still sound amazing. They have been my fav band for 40 years but, they have been doing great music since the 70's. Any person that loves rock knows in the first 2 or three licks this song and their other song Crazy on You. There is nobody on this earth that can sing like Ann Wilson. Greatest Female rock voice ever!
forgive them for the "lovemongers" phase.
Amen!👍 Ann Wilson's voice paved the road for the upcoming Pat Benatars, Steve Nickses, Joan Jets, Chrissie Hyndes and the like....
To me she's the undisputed Queen of rock singing... Her voice has no parallel..
Ann Wilson is the lead singer and her sister Nancy is the lead guitarist. They started out in the 1970s . And in the early days of MTV they had a lot of music videos. And Ann's range and tone are amazing
It's sad they got less video play & mainstream attention in the 80s though because they considered Ann "too fat". Not like it stopped the baad though 😉
