Nancy Wilson made her fame with the rock group Heart. Beginning as early as the Dreamboat Annie album I liked Heart's music and enjoyed watching the band perform.
In those early days Nancy's sister Ann did most of the singing for Heart while Nancy mainly played acoustic guitar. However, she sang lead on the hit These Dreams which came out during the "big hair" era of the 80's. I consider These Dreams a fine song, but in the video Nancy has the "big hair" look. I like her look earlier (or later) better.
For those reasons I picked a different video for the main focus of this post. The video I chose has perhaps a bit more camera focus on Ann (the brunette), who sings lead, than Nancy (the ash blonde) who sings backup. However, the video opens with one of Nancy's signature acoustic introductions.
Plus she looks great in it, the way I liked her best.
Dreamboat Annie was one of Heart's "softer" numbers. I've always liked it a lot. Ann and Nancy still perform and have toured relatively recently.
Happy Birthday Nancy Wilson !
