Heart (band)

Heart is an American rock band that first found success in Canada and later in the United States and worldwide. Over the group's four-decade history, the band has had three primary lineups, with the constant center of the group since 1974 being sisters Ann Wilson (lead singer) and Nancy Wilson (guitarist). Heart rose to fame in the mid-1970s with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal[1]  as well as folk music. Their popularity declined in the early 1980s, but the band enjoyed a comeback starting in 1985 and experienced even greater success with album oriented rock (AOR) hits and hard rock ballads into the 1990s. With Jupiter's Darling (2004), Red Velvet Car (2010), and Fanatic (2012), Heart made a return to their hard rock and acoustic folk roots.

To date, Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide,[2]  including over 22.5 million in album sales in the U.S.[3]  The group was ranked number 57 onVH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". With Top 10 albums on the Billboard Album Chart in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s, Heart is among the most commercially enduring hard rock bands in history. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.[4] [5]

They frequently played Bothell High School, Inglemoor High School and Shorecrest High School, as well as many taverns and club venues. In 1969 the band went through line-up changes (Gary Ziegelman on lead vocals, Roger on guitar, Steve on bass, James Cirrello on guitar, Ron Rudge on drums, Ken Hansen on percussion,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Sfossen_7-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[7]  and Debi Cuidon on vocals<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="line-height:1;font-size:10.909090995788574px;white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed] ) and a new name, White Heart<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Sfossen_7-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[7]  (from Tales from the White Hart, a collection of short stories by Arthur C. Clarke). For a brief time in 1970 this line-up shortened its name to Heart and dropped "White"; however, the band went through more personnel changes. In 1971, Heart consisted of Steve Fossen, Roger Fisher, David Belzer (keys) and Jeff Johnson (drums).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[9]  After Ann Wilson joined (in 1970 or 1972<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Inconsistencies_10-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[10] ), the band was renamed Hocus Pocus.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-BioHeart_11-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[11]

Nancy Wilson has stated that when he did not report for duty, his home was raided, but he slipped out a rear window, escaped to Canada and became a Vietnam War "draft dodger".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-believer07_12-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[12]

The two-disc set actually featured studio versions of most of Heart's singles to date, plus a couple of new studio tracks and six live tracks, amongst which were covers of "Unchained Melody", Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" and The Beatles' "I'm Down".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AllmusicErelewineHeartGreatestHitsLive_34-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[33]  But with a total of only two hit singles in 1980 (five singles were actually released) and a hiatus of almost two years to their next studio album, sales following this greatest hits package were weaker than previous efforts.

Initially the band turned to Jimmy Iovine, one of the leading producers of the time, who suggested that the material lacked potential hits, but eventually the Wilson sisters produced the album themselves.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Brown2008pp130-1_35-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[34]  The track "Perfect Stranger" foreshadowed the power ballads that would dominate the band's mid-1980s sound.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AllmusicHeartPrivateAudition_36-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-size:10.909090995788574px;">[35]  At the end of recording Derosier and Fossen were fired from the band.
