I always like this song. Thanks.

Wasn't Heart originally formed in 1963 by Roger and Mike Fisher and called Army and then White Heart and the Wilson sisters didn't join until the early 70's. I always read and heard they were from Canada but moved to Seattle to get airplay and exposure. Correct me If I am wrong. Because in 1976 some DJ.s, depending on what station you listed to, said Seattle and Vancouver. Confusing...Yes, important...No!

Wherever they were from, they ended up in a good place.

"White Heart" was formed in NW Washington in 1967 by Steve Fossen, with not Mike, but Roger Fisher on guitar. Mike was their sound & lights man/manager. Ann joined in 1970. To avoid being drafted, Mike Fisher slipped over the border to Vancouver; Ann later moved there to be with him. Slowly, the other members moved to Van and Heart was formed in 1973, with Nancy joining in 1974. Mike Fisher was able to return to the US after Jimmy Carter pardoned draft dodgers. Now back to 5MEB.

I have to ask: is "whimsicle" a new flavor of popsicle?

Wow....flashback to CKLW! 13 -14 yrs old, listening non stop 24/7....I finally stopped listening to AM radio when I wa 16, basically cause my friends made fun of me...but honestly, all of the songs I love and remember were on the CKLW playlist!

Best single song arrangement in modern recording. Period.

mojofilter02, I have been digging through your channel like a stimulant abusing Worm. Thank you for introducing me to great unappreciated music.

Thanks for posting this. It reminded me of listening to CKLW back in the 70s. Songs that didn't chart nationwide, we were lucky to hear all the time, like Werewolf and Absolutely Right. I love "Signs," but the band's lesser-known songs are my favorites.
