The mother, Ann, Nancy and the older sister all have the same exact voice. Soft yet mesmerizing!

Had the honor of meeting the sisters, they walked and talked with us, going in the back gate before a concert. Just sweet, honest people. (They also made sure my friend got a spot near the stage, he was wheelchair bound) Will never forget that gesture, 💕

" Were basically river stones, and the river is smoothing us out as it goes by." I love that quote from Ann.

The power of Ann, and her tenacious lil' sister Nancy, cannot be denied. The fact that many amazing songs propelled them into Rock Stratosphere seems to have been forgotten. Ask a producer, ask a banker, ask a media broker .... what makes money in popular music.....what does it start with? THE SONG. The rest is media manipulation. The look, the style, the stories, .... nothing happens without THE SONG. Thanx Ann & Nancy for writing incredible life-based poetry put to music that only the rock-gods could have created.

At the ripe age of I was lucky enough to have the Wilsons father as an English literature teacher at Ringdale Jr High in 1975. Nancy and sometimes I think Ann, used to give acapella performances with her guitar in a class room to entertain the students. People would join in vocally or with a harmonica or banjo at times-the results were were incredible, she was the most gentle, beautiful, talented human being I had ever seen. I thought how could such an off the charts talent not be famous-I didn't have to wait long, I heard Magic Man on the radio a year or so later and knew they were on their way!

Love this episode on Heart. The fact these sisters remained true to themselves despite the commercialism in the 80s and still have a good relationship with each other and their mom is wonderful. They are role models for everyone.

Ann Wilson is one of the most beautiful people in the world. I've had a crush on both sisters since the 70s as a teen. Beauty is not defined by a specific body type. How can you listen to that voice and not feel the inherent beauty of the human being. Nancy is the bad ass rocker who broke barriers. Her beauty also comes from within. Love you Wilson sisters. Thanks to all the fine band members through the years. Your music is still in my active playlists.

Ann and Nancy are BOTH beautiful women, They are gifted, down to earth, and admirable.

@Mark Anthony Weight doesn't define her. Listen to her voice, to the words of the music she's written. You're what's wrong with the industry. Music isn't about what you look like. Hollywood makes it that way. Ann is beautiful..inside and out. So is Nancy. The world, (or should I say mostly men in this case) is obsessed with sex, being thin and how much skin you can show. If that's what's selling albums, then your not listening to the instruments, the lyrics or the voices. Sad man.

Exactly. What Hollywood and Multi Media in general did to the entire 80s generation and beyond is scandalous. At the least in the 70s one could still be cherished amd respected for talent alone. Id say it makes me wonder how much emphasise on outward appearance was placed on males. Then I remembered Micheal Jackson. What an evil tragedy to be used as a puppet for the monetary pleasures of those ruling over the needy whether it be God Man Woman Child Animal Earth Creation.

@@robertthemage I agree with you about the Journey shows, and will add that Heart blew Def Leppard off the stage on that tour as well. I know Lep fans who went to that wondering why Heart was opening for a "metal" group (I've never thought of Lep as metal, but they call themselves that so...), and leaving feeling like Heart was by far the harder rocking band. Recent Heart setlists have been snoozers, but they put together the perfect setlist for that tour mainly because they ditched a lot of the ballads and wanted to focus on the hard music; it worked because while Lep was playing "Love Bites" and "Hysteria" pop crap Heart was pulling up their sleeves and pulling their harder hits and album cuts and dominating the show. It didn't hurt to have Ann's still formidable vocals which Lep had no answer for (sorry joe).

These two sisters have an incredible bond one in which a call family love ! what a perfect example of family love ! I love these two girls💝💝💝

I have been a Heart fan ever since I can remember. I also am a singer and have been struggling with a thyroid issue and my weight for years. So Ann has always been someone to look up to.

My all time favorite will always be Magic Man. Only 2nd to the Kennedy Honors performance of Stairway. I remember them being called Little Led Zepplin.

I had walked off thinking how down to earth and approachable he seemed and that no wonder he remained stable through all the changes over the years on the band I thought.
