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.

The Next Time You See Me
Nancy Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only got yourself to blame
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
And like the good book says you got to reap just what you sow
Well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long
You're a wrong-doing woman and another girl has got your throne
The lyrics to Nancy Wilson's song "The Next Time You See Me" tell a story of a woman who is warning her partner that the next time they see her, things won't be the same. She takes no responsibility for the pain that this may cause her partner and blames them for any hurt they may feel. The lyrics suggest that the partner has been unfaithful, lying and cheating for a long time and as a result, another woman has taken their place.
The lyrics speak to the idea that people must face the consequences of their actions. The lines "all that shines is not gold" and "you got to reap just what you sow" suggest that there is a karmic balance to the universe, and those who do bad things will ultimately receive their comeuppance.
The singer's tone is one of warning, but also of strength and empowerment. She is taking control of the situation and refusing to be a victim of her partner's infidelity.

Next time you see me, things won't be the same
I have changed and you will see it when you see me again.
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only got yourself to blame
If you get hurt, it is because of your own actions and decisions.
Well it's a true true sayin', all that shines is not gold
Appearances can be deceiving and not everything that looks good is actually good.
And like the good book says you got to reap just what you sow
You will experience the consequences of your actions, just like what is written in the Bible.
Well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long
You have been dishonest and deceitful for a long time.
You're a wrong-doing woman and another girl has got your throne
You are a bad person, and someone else has taken your place of power or influence.

OMG! What the hell is this? I've been a fan of Nancy Wilson for years, someone who delivers a song that touches your heart and soul, but this song is amazing!!! She sang it, wrapped it up in a beautiful package, put a big bright bow on it and delivered it like no other person can. Thank you Ms. Nancy Wilson for all the beautiful music your have left us with. This song has to be one of my favorites.
