Ann & Nancy Wilson do Elvis Presley

[Omniculler]

Ann reminds me of Joan Jett here.

[artmanjohn2]

In case anyone is interested, Nancy Wilson is playing a 1953 or 1954 CF-100 acoustic/electric guitar made by Gibson. Very rare, I got one, acoustic version. They made two, an acoustic and a electric version, extremely rare in those days!

[MrMedusaLvamp]

This song was originally done by Wanda Jackson (the first lady of Rock and Roll)..and Elvis dated her for a while and recorded it later on. Wanda Jackson's version is HOT!

[sprintbass]

i hate david letterman...he's such an ass...jay leno comes off to me like a cheap car salesman...conan is pretty good...

[zzzthaoster]

ann the best female rock voice of this century.

[Omniculler]

@zzzthaoster The best voice in all of history. I don't think it. I know it because I feel it.

[widemagicman]

何歌っても文句なしのAnnのvocal、何弾いてもバリバリの­Nancyのアコギ！もっと聴きたいElvis covers!! 今度は是非、日本で！！！

[Omniculler]

Nancy's so adorable. She keeps messing with her hair during rests and always does something silly in the early eighties like dancing with her guitar at the end.

[derek47]

Anybody know their set list when they, along with Teardrop Explodes & Joan Jett and the Blackhearts opened for Queen at Elland Road Football Stadium in Leeds on 5/29/1982?

[mdejovifan2]

THE MOST ROCKIN GIRLS TO EVER HIT THE INDUSTRY. PERIOD. thanks for posting this. i LOVED it! ;) and i love heart. with all of my heart! HA! xoxo <3

[IATM29]

Amazing Elvis covers by the two most talented women in rock The Wilson Sisters

[derek47]

So they were not influenced by the Runaways?

[ledzep76]

@derek47 I believe the Runaways (especially Lita Ford because she did mention this in an interview) were inspired by them.

[CratessetarC]

@ledzep76 Which interview was that? I've never heard either Joan or Lita speak about Heart. I have seen many Joan Jett interviews where she mentions being inspired by Suzy Quattro and those interviews are available on youtube. Where'd you get your information?

[danny1964ilovefilas]

she has the best female rock voice

[hankklink]

I say a lot of crap about Ann Wilson, but she was hot and still had her voice then. Very good. I think, though, its cute how Nancy tries to disguise her poor sense of rhythm by trying to look tough. It's a shame Nancy never just said, Ann, you're the one with the talent and left the band to manage a shoe store in the greater Seattle area.

unbeliveable...XDXDXDXD...

[josephpuma]

Good stuff from two great rockers.

[Veradoradehon]

I've always loved watching this one! No other girls can pull this off!!

[MICMECMEXICALI]

I AGREE TODAY NO ONE EAT A GOOD STEAK, JUST A BURGER AND A COKE

ANN AND NANCY WILSON MUSIC IS A GREAT FOOD TO OUR SENCE´S, NOT LIKE TODAY FAST FOOD.

[Barderella]

Hehe i agree! If it wasn't for Ann and Nancy paving the way for women to REALLY come into rock music as musicians (not just vocalists)....where would we be now?

Heart has been my motivation and inspiration since i was a kid! They are the reason I became a musician in the first place. Such great role models :)

[Delliana1718]

She can really sing anything.

[HollywoodSummitShow]

FIRE! BURN BABY BURN.....

[Nesh16041972]

Haha, never seen this before, very nice! I love Heart!

[bbrae1990]

sing it ann rock out girls damn nancy can play the strings off that thing

[MKHellBilly55]

They are so talented and beautiful

[lovesheart]

Great vid,I keep comin back to it!

[drandall1776]

I have never seen this clip before in my life ! ! Now THIS is something different, isnt it ! ?

[ben909ben]

I tell ya, I don't have the cojones to go on Letterman and take on Heartbreak Hotel

good job, and fun...

myoosicians today too serious and "professional"

no roots...

[brendanleach]

Ann and Nancy are so beautiful and talented.

[mdstress]

I love that voice ....

[PALLADINARC]

there not another in this world like it

[IvanTuroc]

I wish you had the interview as well

[randywilsonf15]

Nancy Wilson is the cutest creature on earth!

[mutedloud]

I thought i read somewhere that bon jovi did the first unplugged session... I think its wrong cause this video just proved that Heart did it first.

[jrodkelly1]

daiid letterman cant make fun of anyone about their sex life cause hes prob still a virgin

[Iputrandomstuff]

Really?

[treesloth16]

Ann is sooooo gorgeous..... If I were Michael, I would never have left. Bum didn't know what he had.

[wolph123]

This is great! I never knew they did this!

[LeeJTurnock]

Treat that fucking album with respect, Letterman.

[brywool]

Ann and Nancy are THE most underrated people in rock. Britney, Beyonce, etc. got NOTHING on Ann and Nancy.

[mufc1970ok]

@brywool ye genuine talent

[jazminehudson]

@brywool I know it really sucks, but people don't pay as much attention to hard rock except ones that love it like us. I'm saying this cause anytime on American Idol when there is a good rock artist they vote them off really fast even though they kick ass compared to the ones in the end. I think a major part of the country must be part deaf.

[SingChild71]

@brywool  true that

[trevinor3]

@brywool: AGREE

[acesnorth]

These ladies are precious!

[amerindn]

Ann could blow Beyonce, Madonna, Britney, Jessica, off the stage.

They don't make em like they used to.

[hearthbreaker1987]

ann and nancy kick the ass to beyonce , madonna, fergie, britney, jessica all the fuckin bitches these days. how did say bon jovi about jennifer lopez "i dont know the people loves JLO if she is not play a guitar , when she play the guitar ok . we wil speak about it. " it said bon jovi .

[RedGuitars94]

I agree

[suzylux]

Ok I have to be honest here, that was the ONLY A&N performance that didn't quite do it for me. Ann seemed a little out of sorts. Perhaps she was nervous? (no, certainly not) I liked the guitar playing tho (especially from Nance) But yeah, kinda missed the mark. But yet, it was still awesome? I think I feel that way only cause I love them both so dearly.

And yeah, I love Nancy's shoes too! How cute is she in those?

ps. Any chance of seeing the interview as well?

[tudorhistoryguy]

Elvis wishes lol

[lancetop]

Love you always Ann and Nancy! Thanks for sharing your gift with us all these years:) Lance

[ipouponu]

Ann Wilson... perhaps the best female rock singer of our generation.

Both such beautiful people and so talented.

[paulcarrollmusic]

@ipouponu As a Piano & Vocal teacher, the First Rock singer I tell the kids to liten is Ann Wilson from Heart. Best rock vocalist of all time.

[robbowen04]

Ann is so effin hot! Thanks Ann and Nancy. We love you.

[CruezLittleAngel]

awsome fucking covers!! ROCK ON ANN AND NANCY WISLON!!

[rhianaj]

This is sooo damn awesome!!! WOW Never seen this! Thanks so much for posting this!

[tabistevens]

I've been wanting to see that for years! Thanks, Seattleboy--you made my day. <3

[12feed]

I love Nacy's shoes!

[unRompecabezas]

Uh, right. But they were out of sync at the end of "Havin' A Party" and Ann flubbed the lyrics to a line of "Heartbreak Hotel."

[zbaby82]

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

[unRompecabezas]

Would it have killed them to rehearse?

[zbaby82]

Are you kidding? They were touring constantly back then. They play everyday. And they play better than all of the acts of today.

[ThatsSoInane]

'Do' Elvis? I thought this was going to be another kind of video....

[Haylie2610]

Amazing!!!

thanks for posting this seattle!

[unRompecabezas]

I was wondering if I'd ever see this performance again. I remember even at the time I thought it was a little weird that they were promoting a new album by singing an Elvis medley.

If memory serves me, the interview afterward was awkward. Letterman demonstrated his amazing pop culture erudition by identifying the songs as Elvis tunes, and Ann responded that "we wrote those." Ever the condescending creep, Dave even asked them their ages.

[brigader4heart]

just great!,the queens of rock do the king of rock!.

last saw ann/nancy & heart in 2004 and it was my 16th time i had seen them!,come back to uk girls!.

[babyj1996]

@brigader4heart WAS THIS WHEN ANN WAS FOOLING AROUND WITH MARK ANDES ?

[gendronp]

she has an awesome voice. but unfortunately Heart in my opinion was never the same after roger, michael and steve were let go.

[funnyhaha07]

I love it Ann's playing guitar too!!! An excellent tribute to the King of Rock from the Queens of Rock!!!!!! Thanks Seattleboy YOU RAWK!

[Chipi64]

Wow! Thank you for posting!

[alexanncy]

pretty cool! Thank you :)

[Ronnie7311]

Nice video thanks for sharing! Do you have the interview part?

[lovesheart]

your just a hard guy to satisfy,lol Ronnie.Thanx Seattleboy.

[tabistevens]

I'd love to see the interview part as well. In '93, they were on The Late Show with Letterman as well and performed "Black on Black II." IIRC, when Dave introduced them, he said that he was married to the Wilson Sisters in the seventies. Ha! So does anybody have that clip to share? I'd love to see that again. :-)
