1) Heart is an American rock band formed in 1970 in Seattle, Washington, by Steve Fossen (bass guitar), Roger Fisher (guitar), David Belzer (keyboards), and Jeff Johnson (drums). It evolved from an existing band, White Heart. The vocalists for Heart are sisters Ann Wilson (lead vocals, flute, guitar) (born June 19, 1950) and Nancy Wilson (vocals, guitar, mandolin) (born March 16, 1954).
Heart rose to fame in the mid-to-late-1970s with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal, as well as folk music. The band's popularity declined in the early 1980s, but it began a successful comeback in 1985 which continued into the mid-1990s. Heart disbanded in 1998, resumed performing in 2002, went on hiatus in 2016, and resumed performing in the summer of 2019. Heart's U.S. Top 40 singles include "Magic Man" (1975), "Crazy on You" (1976), "Barracuda" (1977), "What About Love" (1985), "Never" (1985), and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" (1990), along with no. 1 hits "These Dreams" (1986) and "Alone" (1987).
Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide, including approximately 22.5 million albums in the United States. It has placed top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990 and 2010s. Heart was ranked number 57 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". In 2013, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2011, Heart earned its first nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the 2012 class. After being passed over, the band was nominated again the following year announced as inductees to the 2013 class on December 11, 2012. Their Hall of Fame page describes the Wilson sisters as the first women to front a hard-rock band, and "pioneers ... inspiring women to pick up an electric guitar or start a band".
In his book Heart: In the Studio, Jake Brown described the band as beginning "a revolution for women in music ... breaking genre barriers and garnering critical acclaim".
"Heart were the first female-fronted band I heard and was influenced by," recalled Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. "I heard Heart and was like, 'Oh, singing like that as a girl is actually a thing!'"
The Wilson sisters have been active in the Seattle music scene for decades and influenced many musicians from the region, including bands of the grunge era. Artists that have used their Bad Animals Studio include Neil Young, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.

Little Queen
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only the finest by your skin
Always running after Time, catching
You're fancy with rhyme
Shining on the front page again
Hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang, all night
The telephone rang
Music kept on playing from your pen.
Hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind,
Little queen
Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free
Raining Raining- he feels you little queen
Slipping away with your gypsy band
Hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you
Moved his mind
Feeling like he held you in his hand
The lyrics to Heart's song "Little Queen" address the complexities and paradoxes of fame and fortune, particularly in the music industry. The singer describes a person who prefers wine to gin, and only the finest kind, implying that they are accustomed to luxury and excess. They are always on the move, chasing after time, but are skilled in writing poetry and songs that shine on the front page. The person is described as a "little queen" who is passionate about making music but also has a melancholy mind that nobody knows about. The second verse discusses the pressures of fame and how "the papers said your crown was tight and heavy on your head," yet you continue to dance and sing all night. The telephone rings, and music keeps playing from your pen, indicating your continuous creativity.
The chorus repeats the line, "Hot on the presses today, little queen. Making your passion play, little queen. Nobody knows your melancholy mind, little queen." The person being described here is deeply talented, but also deeply misunderstood, and the chorus highlights this duality. The bridge features the phrase, "Raining Raining - he knows your Soul ain't free. Raining Raining - he feels you little queen," which could be an allusion to a person who understands what the little queen is going through. The final verse describes the little queen slipping away with her gypsy band, being hot on her music and playing a winning hand. The final line, "Feeling like he held you in his hand" suggests that the little queen is elusive, and even if you feel like you have got her, she is untouchable.
Overall, "Little Queen" is a lyrical exploration of what it means to be an artist and have public recognition, and the toll that this lifestyle can take on a person. It highlights both the glamour and the heartache of fame and how it can be difficult to maintain a sense of self amidst it all.

Heart never gets old. When I went to the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Heart got a tiny little mention. Hendrix and Nirvana got entire rooms. Heart were the first ladies of rock. They deserve better.

This song is criminally underrated- it has always been my favorite of all Heart's incredible repertoire. It was overshadowed by the brilliant Barracuda, but the sheer strength and beauty of the lyrics and music come shining through. No one ever did it better than Ann & Nancy!

Yes, most definitely underrated ... !
