Heart - Magic Man

Heart is a rock band that was formed in Seattle, Washington in 1973. It has been fronted by two sisters, Ann and Nancy Wilson, almost from its inception. The band's blistering lead guitars were provided by Roger Fisher, whose brother, Michael, produced their first several albums. Other members were bassist Steve Fossen, drummer Michael Derosier, and Howard Leese, who played a variety of instruments.

Their first album, 1976's driving, dynamic and fluid "Dreamboat Annie," which included the top-40 radio success "MAGIC MAN," as well as the harder rocking FM radio hit "Crazy On You," was an enormous critical and popular success. The album also included several genuinely touching ballads, including the title track, "How Deep It Goes" and "(Love Me Like Music) I'll Be Your song."

¨Little Queen¨ , and ¨Dog and Butterfly¨ both very good albums

After several subsequent unfocused albums that failed critically and commercially to varying degrees, a revamped Heart, newly signed to Capitol Records, released a commercially successful self-titled album in 1985.

By that time, the Wilson sisters had replaced all but one of the original male members of the group with mediocre session musicians. The best song from the album, "Heart of Darkness," was regulated to the B-side of a 45, and hasn't been released in any other format since.

The music Heart created duing this period was Top 40 pop, which clearly showed the influence of Madonna and other influential 80s acts, and was completely divorced from their original hard rock roots.

Several videos, which the Wilsons later reviled, helped the band achieve a string of saccharine Top 40 pop hits during this time, including "These Dreams," "What About Love," "Alone," and "All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You."

@Bo14Rod are you a guy or girl?

1:50-1:56 what a great ass that guy has. It is so sexy. MMMMM he is (or was) really hot!

Ann is the female Robert Plant. She was born to sing heavy metal. Yes, I think Heart is heavy metal, and the best of its kind. Unfortunately, this is apparently not enough to get them into the hall of fame.

Man, in the early to mid 70's her voice could break glass.

It is heard to believe this music is 35 years old, and kids today still listen to it. I was surprised my 13 year old neice knew all of the hearts songs.

Roger Fisher WAS a mediocre musician, that's why he ended up in a crappy bar band after his rabbit ass got booted from Heart. And Ann and Nancy were Heart, from it's inception, no nearly about it.

@mapleva Not to get into a pissing contest with you over Ted's poilitics, but I am 57 and grew up watching the Amboy Dukes back in Detroit. They were way ahead of the R and B curve and Ted was a monster on guitar. Drugs and booze did the band in, and Ted was the only one who ended up unscathed. The guy has recently become a cartoon, but admit it, the hall has nomininated some real jokes in recent years. Madonna? Give me a break.

@motorcityquig Terrible Ted is a joke, Rock and Roll is progressive.

[motorcityquig]

So the two sweat hogs were nominated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame instead of Rush, Ted Nugent, or the MC5. What a joke. I am sure the hall needs to keep things PC and have a female band in whether they deserve it or not. Heart was the epitamy of corporate rock.
