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.

Unchained Melody
Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've hungered for your touch a long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
The lyrics of Heart's version of Unchained Melody is an impassioned plea of a lover who has been separated from his beloved for a long time. The song opens with the confession of the singer's hunger for his lover's touch, which he has been longing for a long and lonely time. The slow passage of time is emphasized in the song, which can do so much and raises the question if his lover is still his. He yearns for her love and implores for it to reach him soon by saying, "God speed your love to me."
The second verse of the song has the singer painting a picture of a lonely river that flows into the open arms of the sea while sighing for the return of his beloved. He asks the river to wait for him, for he will be coming home soon. The song is a reflection of the intense longing and yearning for the return of a lover, and the emotional depth of the lyrics make it a significant part of the canon of love songs.

PURE TRUTH, THANK MY GOOD GOD FOR ANN'S LIFE
Charles Larson
Both of them have great voices
Robert Ciscoe
Certainly the best female vocalist I have ever heard. Better than Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey. She can match anyone's range and power.
But Ann brings another element of greatness.
Ann Wilson conveys emotion like no one else when she sings.
Prove me wrong.

When they did the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zepplin and sang "Stairway to Heaven" I remember thinking how she blew an entire backup choir of about 100 people out of the water because, well, that's just what she does. WHAT A VOICE!!!
