I owe you an apology.
I was listening to the video in the background as I was replying to you.
Imagine my surprise to look over and see Nancy singing.
That’s rare except for back up.
Even nicer surprise for the day.
Thank you again.
No apology needed.
Ann Wilson is the voice that most people associate with Heart as she was the lead singer on most of Heart’s best known songs, and what a great voice she had. But Nancy Wilson is very talented in her own right – a very talented acoustic guitarist and has a nice voice too.
During the 1980’s, the era of the big hair, the huge shoulder pads, smoke machines and bad MTV imagery videos and when Ann’s weight gain made her not so marketable as a video vixen, Nancy sung the lead on “These Dreams” which, BTW Bernie Taupin wrote the music and lyrics for that song. As an interesting side note, the song was first offered to Stevie Nicks, who expressed no interest in recording it. But it’s not a bad song though per se.
The original video for These Dreams was horrible IMO. But this stripped down version is much better.

Speaking of Ann Wilson, did you know she is the only performer who has gotten the “thumbs up” from Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page for a covered version of “Stairway to Heaven”?
