1) Nancy Sue Wilson (born February 20, 1937, in Chillicothe, OH, United States – December 13, 2018, in Pioneertown, CA, United States) was a jazz diva famous for recording American standards in the 60s.
She was among contemporary music's most stylish and sultry vocalists; while often crossing over into the pop and R&B markets -- and even hosting her own television variety program -- she remained best known as a jazz performer, renowned for her work alongside figures including Cannonball Adderley and George Shearing. Wilson first attracted notice performing the club circuit in nearby Columbus; she quickly earned a growing reputation among jazz players and fans, and she was recording regularly by the late '50s, eventually signing to Capitol and issuing LPs including 1959's Like in Love and Nancy Wilson with Billy May's Orchestra. Her dates with Shearing, including 1960's The Swingin's Mutual, solidified her standing as a talent on the rise, and her subsequent work with Adderley -- arguably her finest recordings -- further cemented her growing fame and reputation.
In the years to follow, however, Wilson often moved away from jazz, much to the chagrin of purists; she made numerous albums, many of them properly categorized as pop and R&B outings, and toured extensively, appearing with everyone from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan to Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker. She even hosted her own Emmy-winning variety series for NBC, The Nancy Wilson Show, and was a frequent guest performer on other programs; hits of the period included "Tell Me the Truth," "How Glad I Am," "Peace of Mind," and "Now, I'm a Woman." Regardless of how far afield she traveled, Wilson always maintained her connections to the jazz world, and in the 1980s, she returned to the music with a vengeance, working closely with performers including Hank Jones, Art Farmer, Ramsey Lewis, and Benny Golson. By the 1990s, she was a favorite among the "new adult contemporary" market, her style ideally suited to the format's penchant for lush, romantic ballads; she also hosted the Jazz Profiles series on National Public Radio.
In the early 2000s, Wilson recorded two albums with Ramsey Lewis for Narada (2002's Meant to Be and 2003's Simple Pleasures). Her 2004 album R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) was a blend of straight-ahead jazz and ballads, similar to her next record, 2006's Turned to Blue, which, like R.S.V.P., used a different instrumentalist for each track. In 2005, Capitol released a three-part series to pay tribute to Wilson's contributions to music in the '50s and '60s: Guess Who I Saw Today: Nancy Wilson Sings Songs of Lost Love, Save Your Love for Me: Nancy Wilson Sings the Great Blues Ballads, and The Great American Songbook.
Wilson died from a long-illness on December 13, 2018 at her home in Pioneertown, California at the age of 81.
2) Nancy Lamoureux Wilson (born March 16, 1954, San Francisco, CA, United States), more popularly known as Nancy Wilson, is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter. Along with her older sister Ann Wilson, she is part of the Seattle/Vancouver rock band Heart. She is married to film director and screenwriter Cameron Crowe and has composed and performed music for most of Crowe's movies, including Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, and Elizabethtown.
While Ann is the lead singer on most of the Heart recordings, Nancy is the lead vocalist on Treat Me Well, These Dreams, Stranded, There's the Girl and Will You Be There (In The Morning), and frequently performs background vocals. She is also the band's rhythm and lead guitarist. In 1999, she released a live solo album, Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop.

Heart To Heart
Nancy Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
His lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart
The night is like a lovely tune
The night feels beautiful and enchanting
Beware my foolish heart
Be cautious, my naive and vulnerable heart
How white the ever constant moon
The moon shines brightly, always present and unchanging
Take care my foolish heart
Guard yourself, my silly and easily deceived heart
There's a line between love and fascination
Love and fascination can be difficult to distinguish
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
Especially on a night like tonight, it becomes even more challenging
For they both give the very same sensation
Because both evoke similar feelings and emotions
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss
When you're completely absorbed in the enchantment of a kiss
His lips are much too close to mine
His lips are dangerously near to mine
But should our eager lips combine
However, if our passionate lips merge
Then let the fire start
Then allow the passion and desire to ignite
For this time it isn't fascination
Because this time it's not mere fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
Nor is it a fleeting illusion that will eventually dissipate
It's love, this time it's love
It's genuine love, not just infatuation
My foolish heart
Oh, my naive and easily swayed heart
It's love, this time it's love
It's true love, not another false hope
My foolish heart
Oh, my gullible and imprudent heart

@jacob brown the quality of a band is not measured by how close they play their studio songs live. It's how they make them sound good to who's watching. Not necessarily 'covering' it. U2's live versions just smash their original studio tracks
Dan Ryan
A rare thing in this day and age.

"You know Ann sings most of these songs. I'm kinda winging it", then belts out some beautiful notes. Freaking love her...
Andrew Sallee
My fav is These Dreams and Nancys voice is so amazing in it
Big Dave
Nancy is so underrated but when Ann is singing it’s hard to be noticed.I’ve loved both of them so talented.
Charlotte Smoothie
One of my all time favorite guitarists next to Joe Perry and Tom Morello. No particular order.
