Their sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson..Ann The vocalist is about 65 years old here..Her sister Nancy is about 62..Yes since about the mid 70's they began to hit the Rock scene...And they have a large number of hit songs.."Barracuda","Crazy On You", "Magic Man", "Straight On", "These Dreams" song by her sister Nancy..Among many others..They also have covered a lot of Led Zeppelin songs..There is a Led Zeppelin tribute of Stairway to Heaven that Ann sang back in 2012 at a live event at the Kennedy Center..Its all up here on TH-cam..I think you'll be greatly impressed..
Ann Wilson is one of my all-time favorite vocalists (male or female). Nancy Wilson is also a great guitar player. Heart is soooooo under-rated by the general-public but they are VERY well respected by fellow musicians. You should hear/watch Ann and Nancy do Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Centre Honors - Led Zeppelin. You'll be blown away at that performance. You can easily tell the members of Led Zeppelin REALLY respect Ann and Nancy Wilson.
Ann has in my opinion the greatest women 's voice in Rock history. No disrespect to Janice, Pat and Joan but Ann is at another level. Her cover of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors is absolutely mind blowing
I was there, with two of my oldest and dearest friends. Up in the upper circle to Nancy's right, about half way to the back. And I tell you this for absolutely nothing. That bit in that first chorus, the hook .... that voice goes right through you. And I mean right through you, to your bones. I was sat there with three other musicians and all we could do was look at each other with our chins on our chests. You dont just hear it, you really and I mean REALLY feel it. It didnt have to be loud, it just resonated on a whole other level. You have to experience it to feel it and try and understand it. I've seen some bloody amazing gigs at the Albert Hall, but this was something else. I've never ever felt anything like it. Even though its a world away from the studio version, my god that voice just rips your heart out of your chest. Its one of my dearest and most treasured memories of 40 years of concert going.
Heart has been Awesome since the late 1970's........ Other Hits to check out by them..... Barracuda, These Dreams, What about Love, Crazy on You, All I wanna do is make Love to you, and there is a video of them singing "Stairway to Heaven" at a Lincoln Center Tribute to Led Zepplin......
Grew up in Seattle, not far from bad animals studio. Huge Heart fan..that being said I think the only cover of this song that comes close to the Wilson sisters is Floors cover
Thank you Katie! Missed you. Ann can put more emotion into her voice than anyone else. This song is technically a cover but no one does it better. The blond woman on acoustic guitar is her sister(a good singer also) When you get a bunch of requests to do the cover of stairway to heaven. You should do it. Thanks again -YourBiggestFan
If you’ve not seen their Stairway to Heaven performance at Led Zeppelin’s Kennedy Center Honours, I implore to to check it out. I won’t spoil it but I will say that they managed to bring Robert Plant to tears.
As great as this performance is, it's showing a little wear and understandable so at 66 years old. The best live version imo is from the Live In Seattle DVD in 2002. She'll melt your face in that one. "The Note" in that version is flawless. And as was stated, Ann Wilson is the best female vocalist in rock history. Bar none.
(relisten and recomment) We had the music vid of this on a video jukebox where I had lunch in High school. She is better live. This is her in her 60's. Floor Jansencovered this but to me just lacks real emotion in her version.
May I suggest another great female vocalist performing at The Royal Albert Hall. Give a listen to “Leave The Light On” by Beth Hart. I think you’ll be pleased. ♥️✌🏼😎
Ann Wilson was 66 YEARS OLD during this performance!! (As she’s gotten older tho, she’s had to modify a bit because she doesn’t seem able to attack high notes the way she did when younger - No complaints here, just an observation.) To hear her able to still really “BELT OUT” the higher range parts… Heart’s concert footage from Seattle in 2002 is… FANTASTIC.🥰
THIS PERFORMANCE IS SO AMAZING ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF ANNS AGE, AS THE PREVIOUS SUBSCRIBER STATED. HEY GIRL, TRY TO MATCH YOUR HAIR COLOR WITH YOUR SWEATER NEXT TIME haha
Ann was 66 years old when this performance was done. Her voice is still as strong as it's ever been.
Yes it is.
I saw them in 1977, Ann was 27 and Nancy was 23, on their "Little Queen" tour. Not much difference.
They did an impressive cover of Unchained Melody
I can’t imagine anyone but Ann Wilson pulling this vocal masterpiece off at the age of 66.
The “though” in “I hope it won’t end though” is MY FAV ANN MOMENT! It’s so gentle and delicate ❤

61 thousand subscribers. Wow!
As mentioned in other comments, if you think that was good then watch them do Led Zeppelin, let alone more of their own material.
Amazing band.
Hey Katie well done passing u driving test
Thank you vince, love you peace and love ❤️❤️

Not nearly the wear and tear that basically any other singer would have at 66
I love English accent 🙂 it's monarchy.

She is better live. This is her in her 60's.
Floor Jansencovered this but to me just lacks real emotion in her version.
Though I love this version, I love the original, full-band version better.

I saw them in 1977 and there isn't much difference in her voice, Nancy's either.
You should hear the original

To hear her able to still really “BELT OUT” the higher range parts…

HEY GIRL, TRY TO MATCH YOUR HAIR COLOR WITH YOUR SWEATER NEXT TIME haha
let the video play, 2 pauses is enough.....) just let it go now...... great song, comment at the end..
3 pauses is enough..... pls....)
You should watch the original rock video.
th-cam.com/video/1Cw1ng75KP0/w-d-xo.html.
Good but I like the original betterr .
One of the things I like about this song is the build-up, and we didn't get that. Sorry but not my favorite version!
really, you're pausing too much.
Too many interuptions. 😡
I'll go with Floor Jansen, but Ann is an amazing singer.
