Fabulous Friday: Ann and Nancy Wilson

I am a MAJOR fan of Heart, I don't remember a time in my life when I didn't love them. I'm sure my brother Howard had Dreamboat Annie on vinyl pretty soon after it was released in 1975 - - I would have been seven years old, so I was infected pretty early.

My favorite songs of theirs are from their early days: "Crazy On You," "Baracuda," "Magic Man," "Straight On," so many amazing songs. Nancy Wilson is a killer guitar player but can we all agree that Ann Wilson has one of the greatest voices ever, in any genre...?

I had the rare thrill of hearing them in concert at the Beacon Theater not long after I moved to New York, in September 2004. My review of that concert is pretty hilarious, easily one of my greatest reviews. Talk about a fish out of water, this bright white gay boy opera queen was NOT part of their target audience.

This is my favorite video of theirs - - I like their recording much more than the Aaron Neville original:
