One of the things I love about Ann is that her voice is that of a grown woman, not a kitten, not a whispering whimper. She belts it and her emotion pins you to the wall. HARD.
Ann Wilson is the most iconic, most powerful, and best ever female rock singer in history. She brought Robert Plant to tears when Heart (along with Jason Bonham - son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham) performed a truly amazing tribute version of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin. No other artist could have pulled that off the way she did! Heart is, without doubt, the best female rock duo in history!
What I guess Is s*** The Right out of the Box that was yeah they was doing it really good though I'm nude If she would say Smoke It was awesome On A-day too Hey Jimmy J😅😅😅
It's about time they listened to a good tune by a well-known band. What About Love, Never, These Dreams, Crazy On You, Magic Man, Alone. Better than that rap crap.
@@ssRocker-nn3tp I'm not impressed with just a voice and no instruments. That's what music was like -- guitar, drums, bass, piano, keyboard. The music industry hasn't moved on. It's still stuck in the 90s. All about that rap c(rap) from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Bone Thugz N' Harmony, Ludacris, LL Cool J. I can't stand any of these hip hop or rappers.
Ann Wilson is more than a female vocalist. She’s a force of nature. I can’t imagine a world in which Ann’s voice isn’t rocking my AirPods. Thank God she didn’t become a chef or lawyer. Top 5 rock voice ever, woman or man.
1st single from their 1985 self titled album. The same album that Never and These Dreams are on. The song is a cover , originally done by a Canadian band called Toronto in 1982.
Totally agree. Passionworks, from '83 and the album before the one this song is on, has several great songs on it. How Can I Refuse, Blue Guitar, Sleep Alone, Allies. And I never heard one on the radio. The first time I ever heard Allies was in a movie theater, waiting for the movie to start. I knew it was Ann immediately but I had to wait to go to the record store to find out which album it was on and then buy it. Mid 80s, pre-internet, lol!
I was a teenager. Having my 1st love. The neighborhood bad boy of course 😩. And as hard as he did try,...he just couldn't except normal love. This song hits my heart as hard today as it did in the 80s. I wish him well wherever he is. Because he did deserve love. 😢
So agree with you Amber, Ann Wilson has one of the most powerful voices in Rock, male or female! She makes it seem effortless. Even when she's not trying to put power into it!! Add Nancy's guitar and harmony and I've just always loved Heart! One of the best concerts I've ever attended!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Snce the 1970s i can safely say that Ann has ALWAYS been my far and away favorite female voice! She just has such amazing control, depth, richness and nuance that few others can deliver! She is absolutely at the top!
Ann Wilson is my all time fave singer, Heart my all time fave band. I'm so excited you're loving this! Admittedly, this isn't my fave era of theirs but it still kicks arse! ❤ Please do "Mistral Wind" from their 1978 album "Dog & Butterfly" - you won't regret it!!
Since you guys know all about Heart, Loverboy, & Footloose; you need to hear Ann Wilson & Mike Reno's duet "Almost Paradise" (music composed by Eric Carmen) from that movie's soundtrack.
Two Heart songs you need to listen and react to live are "Dog and Butterfly" and "The Battle of Evermore", a cover of the Led Zeppelin song!! Book them for a future Female Friday!
Fun fact: this song was originally written and demoed by Canadian AOR masters Toronto, but never made it to an album because the band's managament thought "it was not the right time in their career to release a power ballad". The great disagreement within the band about this decision was one of the reasons why Toronto broke up shortly afterwards. Some time later, Heart's management stumbled upon the song, bought it, and let Heart record it. "What about love" became a colossal hit single for Heart, helping propel their eponymous "Heart" album to the Billboard #1 spot in 1985. Not unsurprisingly, the original demo version has since been released on "best of" compilations with Toronto.
Dayum girl, that's a set o' pipes!!! Ann is the epitome of a grown ass woman with a voice wrapped in silk that smacks you like a baseball bat with its power! A classic that you guys reacted to with your usual fun, happiness & respect. Thank you as always.
EXCELLENT song from an EXCELLENT band!!! You have to hear their song "I Want You So Bad." The ending is epic! It's way up there with "Alone" for my favorite from their "Bad Animals" album.
In the 80s, there was a move to make Heart a more relevant band as they were in the 70s, so they brought in professional song writers to produce more pop based music for the band. Although Ann didn't like the songs, they ended up becoming some of their best hits..
The song was originally recorded in 1983 by Canadian rock group Toronto. All three songwriters are Canadian. It was a power ballad hit for the come back of Heart. a nice choice ! The band moved to Canada. from Seattle, and Heart recorded their first album 'Dreamboat Annie' in Vancouver in 1975. very popular round here
You can never go wrong with Heart! Check out an old song of theirs called Dreamboat Annie. It's VERY different from their usual style, but equally as beautiful ❤
Ann sings “don’t let it slip away” 3 times. She builds it each time, and it is one of the strongest, most powerful, difficult, heartfelt and sexiest lyrical moments I have ever heard. I love her the first time she sings it, I adore her the second time, and I am slap down blown away the third time! What a beautiful person and powerful singer! Chills!
I’ve seen a lot of people talk about seeing Heart in concert. All I can say, is lucky you. During the Vietnam war, the boys in the band became draft dodgers, scootin’ across the border north of Seattle, and settled down in Vancouver BC. Ann soon followed the band and Nancy wasn’t far behind. It was in Vancouver where they honed their skills and became loved world over. Just before fame hit, they played the club and high school scene. I was lucky enough to have seen Heart at one of our high school dances. A young Ann and Nancy just rocked it.
Love Heart!! Nancy has a great voice too!!! She takes the lead on their song "These Dreams". Check it out if you haven't already. Another female you should check out is Toni Braxton. She has a beautiful voice. The song is called "Unbreak My Heart." It's worth a listen. How about doing some more Dolly, Pat, Martina, Celtic Woman, Carrie, Lita the list goes on & on. Any one of these ladies would be a rabbit hole worth going down!!!!!!!!
Ann Wilson is the only female vocalist ever to have the most powerful voice but yet have the most vulnerable and softest all in the same songs 🎵 ❤! Truly exceptional
The song was written by Sheron Alton (who like Nancy plays guitar) and Brian Allen of the group Toronto, who never released the song as a single. Toronto would be another group lead by 2 females leads; singer Holly Woods, that you should check out. This ended up being Heart's comeback single, back as serious hit makers in the 80s
This is my favorite Heart song of them all. Ann's singing just blows me away, as does the rest of the band. I guess this could be the prime example of the class "power ballad".
Both Ann and Nancy are incredible vocalists let’s not forget Nancy’s soprano harmonies. One song that stands out in my mind is the beautiful Dog and Butterfly a live version is the best you can really hear Nancy on this.
This song and all this music from this era (80s) always brings tears 😭 to my eyes. I was born in 1977 and this was a huge part of my youth!! Being the youngest of 4 kids. My older brother is 8 years older then me. I had no choice but to listen to this fantastic music 🎶
Best female vocalist. I’ve seen them many times in concert through their whole career!! That voice is always on point!! I love most of their lyrics too! PURE 80’s!!! Woot woot!! Thx guys. Peace and much love ❤️ ✌️
I had forgotten about that ending, wow! I had this album when it came out, it had a bunch of huge hits for them. This was around 1986, definitely hair band 80s era, so they went with the times.
There is no more powerful rock voice than Ann Wilson and still do this day in her 70s has her voice and can blow. Nancys guitar playing they're up there as my all time favs ❤
I grew up listening to this band since I was a little guy in the 80s when they were huge; they are definitely in my top 10 favorite bands of all time. I absolutely love Heart, always have.. ❤🥰❤🥰❤
One of the things I love about Ann is that her voice is that of a grown woman, not a kitten, not a whispering whimper. She belts it and her emotion pins you to the wall. HARD.
All those gals could , Anne , Nancy , Joan , pat , Susie , Lita , toyah
@@davewarrender2056 Add Lzzy Hale to that list
Agree... she can perfectly scream a melody.
Nothing wrong w/ soft voices though like Sade or Karen Carpenter.
She defines let it rip, I love it!
Ann has an incredible voice. Not just a powerful female voice she has one of the most powerful voices in rock male or female.
She has one of my favorite voices of all time, along with Freddie Mercury
@@davidjones8299 what about Karen Carpenter?!!
Preach
I have to mention Layne Staley..
@@michaelasay8587 no
At 70 years old Ann Wilson’s voice is still just as powerful as in her 20’s
greatest female rock voice of all time...
Ann Wilson is the best Female voice of the last 50 years!!
Ann’s voice: power and emotion, vulnerability and ass-kicking. Beautiful song. ‘Heart’ was a great name for this band.
Girl power.
The guitar playing sister doesn't get enough credit for her voice their harmony is fantastic
Not only THE female rock voice, one of the best voices period!!
Ann's voice is probably one of the most versatile voices in Rock.
Ronstadt!
I swear, you can NOT go wrong with Heart
Proof that Heart could handle an 80s power ballad as ably as the folky/ proggy 70s rock their band all but helped define.
Anne’s voice is the best female rock voices ever in my opinion and her voice makes everything right in the world
Two of the most talented women of the last 50 years.
Truth
Ann Wilson. Range, Power, Subtlety, Softness, Tenderness, Rage. The whole package ! ! ! !
💯 Well Said!!!🏁😎👍
Ann Wilson is the most iconic, most powerful, and best ever female rock singer in history.

Robert seeing his long time friend's son on drums gave him that tear.
That event would make a great review!!
True story. Heart, truly iconic.
You all need to do a review of that Kennedy Center Honors performance. Truly iconic❤
@@vickierivers5815 I think they already did it
Ann is INCREDIBLE!!!! They together are just vocal monsters. Love Heart.
There is no song by Heart that isn't absolutely outstanding! They are the top of the entire mountain... Queens of the rock world.
Best female Rock vocalist. Great band and songs too.
Dog Dog And butterfly Dumb Butterfly And
What I guess Is s*** The Right out of the Box that was yeah they was doing it really good though I'm nude If she would say Smoke It was awesome On A-day too Hey Jimmy J😅😅😅
I love this group! They were among my all time favorite female rockers. Nancy and Ann are amazing women.
It's about time they listened to a good tune by a well-known band. What About Love, Never, These Dreams, Crazy On You, Magic Man, Alone. Better than that rap crap.

@@LastLetterisZed702 I noticed that my comment has been deleted. But i totally agree with you. You forgot to mention that drake guy.😂
@@ssRocker-nn3tp Drake is Canadian and back in the day he was on Degrassi High. I prefer the show from the 1980s. But he's from Ontario, just like me.
@@LastLetterisZed702 OK. I didn,t know that. My favorite bands from Canada, are Rush and Triumph. Both Power Trios.
🤘❤🤘 Howard Leese was Heart's lead guitarist. He did that cool guitar solo on this song. He was in Heart from 1974 to 1996.
Ann Wilson is not only beautiful but has a killer voice and powerful too
I had the honor to meet them back stage in 81. They are amazing and Ann has the voice of an angel. I have been a fan since day 1.
2 beautiful sisters Ann & Nancy ! Ann have the most powerful voice! Wow!
Love, love, love this band! Best female rockers ever!
It's the clarity of Ann Wilson's voice that always impressed me.
You LOVE LOVE LOVE HEART EXACTLY THE WAY I DO! LORD HAVE MERCY💙💙💙
Awesome power ballad by the greatest female rock band ever.
It's a female fronted rock band. Not a female rock band. There were men in the band
Two females.
@@alrivers2297 Yes. You’re right.
Ann Wilson is more than a female vocalist. She’s a force of nature. I can’t imagine a world in which Ann’s voice isn’t rocking my AirPods. Thank God she didn’t become a chef or lawyer. Top 5 rock voice ever, woman or man.
You might want to listen to their "Dog and Butterfly" or "Mistral Wind" - the sisters are also very versatile.
1st single from their 1985 self titled album. The same album that Never and These Dreams are on.
The song is a cover , originally done by a Canadian band called Toronto in 1982.
An 80s Anthem! 🤘 This song was huge. The album marked a comeback for Heart, though to me they were never gone.💖
Totally agree. Passionworks, from '83 and the album before the one this song is on, has several great songs on it. How Can I Refuse, Blue Guitar, Sleep Alone, Allies.

Stranded is another great tune and Nancy sings the vocals!!😁😁😁😁😁
Ann's vocals in all their glory: "Dream of the Archer".
the answer to greatest female rock band ever, is always Heart...your reactions are my favorite, dig the both of you...Thanks!
So agree with you Amber, Ann Wilson has one of the most powerful voices in Rock, male or female! She makes it seem effortless. Even when she's not trying to put power into it!! Add Nancy's guitar and harmony and I've just always loved Heart! One of the best concerts I've ever attended!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song by the Heart. It’s one of my favorites from that band
Another excelent song from Heart. they are amazing. One of the best rock bands from the 80's.
Regards from Chile 🙂
Snce the 1970s i can safely say that Ann has ALWAYS been my far and away favorite female voice! She just has such amazing control, depth, richness and nuance that few others can deliver! She is absolutely at the top!

Please do "Mistral Wind" from their 1978 album "Dog & Butterfly" - you won't regret it!!
Heart is one of my favorite 80's band. I love them so so so much...especially Anne, but Nancy is great too.
Without Nancy, there is no Heart. Ann could have soloed, but her sister is a major contributor to the sound of Heart.
Since you guys know all about Heart, Loverboy, & Footloose; you need to hear Ann Wilson & Mike Reno's duet "Almost Paradise" (music composed by Eric Carmen) from that movie's soundtrack.
I had the pleasure of seeing Heart way back when they were first starting around 1976. They opened for Boston. Great, memorable concert.
SO lucky!!!!!
What an epic concert that must have been!
I love Heart so much. This and "Alone" are my favorite songs of theirs. They just rock!
You're right about Ann's vocal versatility -- and "Love Alive" would give you yet another cool sampling of both her, and of the whole band.
Heart is incredible no matter what decade it is!
They were SO AWESOME in concert! I saw them several times and they did not disappoint!! ♥️
Saw them myself a few years ago and I had incredible seats and yes, they did not disappoint! awesome...
Two Heart songs you need to listen and react to live are "Dog and Butterfly" and "The Battle of Evermore", a cover of the Led Zeppelin song!! Book them for a future Female Friday!
Heart sounded better live than they did in the studio!!!!
Ann and Nancy were both amazing. One of the few celebrities that I’d like to buy a drink for.
Ann's voice is amazing but Nancy doesn't ever seem to get credit for hers. One of my favorite Heart songs is These Dreams with Nancy in the lead.
My favorite female rock band of all time.
Sounds so good. My husband is the big heart fan. I remember him buying their Album! Yes I said album. Cassette player in car.
Almost 40 yrs old and still a masterpiece.
#HEART LOVE EM CAN'T GET NO BETTER THAN THIS FEMALE VOCAL GROUP !!!!!!❤❤❤❤
These two Sisters are on the same plateau as Stevie Nicks. They don't take a back seat to No one.

Heart has an incredible library of awesome hits. I like them all but this one is at the top of that list for me
One of the best bands of the 70's- 80's...so happy and looking forward to seeing Ann Wilson in concert this summer in Wisconsin!
Dayum girl, that's a set o' pipes!!! Ann is the epitome of a grown ass woman with a voice wrapped in silk that smacks you like a baseball bat with its power! A classic that you guys reacted to with your usual fun, happiness & respect. Thank you as always.
Stop and give their hair some credit too!! Takes me back to High School
This may be my favorite Heart song! They are powerful and so talented! Ann’s vocals are always on point and Nancy is so bad azz! Love them!❤❤
I agree with you fully . Heart is in my top ten rock bands of all time .Nancy and Ann extremely talented ladies for sure
Love love love this tune!!! Heart are a superb female rock band and ann wilson rocks the world!!!
Heart is so killer! You need to do ‘Who will you run to’. Ann’s voice is crazy good in it!
My recommendation too...

Yes, both Ann and Nancy didn’t like any of their 80’s hits. Their 70’s hits were better in terms of rock.
Reigning Queens of Rock!

@@6916dog totally agree... Toronto would be a great addition to these reactions
I have a couple of Toronto albums (yes, vinyl) and did not know this song was originally by them. I love Toronto's Head On album.
I just commented about Toronto before I saw your comment. Great to see some mentions about that good band as well.
Fun fact: Winnie the Poo is from Canada too.
