Like these other folks have said. Heart and Ann Wilson’s voice doing Stairway to Heaven in front of Plant, Page and JPJ with Bonzo’s son on the drums is top notch. Kennedy Cente Awards!!
100% agree with the comments. Robert Plant sheds a tear because it is such a beautiful rendition of their song. The sisters also have a great version of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore".
“Magic Man” and “Straight On” are early Heart bangers you have to experience. That said, the Kennedy Center Honors performance of “Stairway To Heaven” when Led Zeppelin was inducted is everything and more.
An album full of bangers with one side live. They cover Zeppelin live. You fellahs owe it to yourselves to watch their Kennedy Center Honors cover of Stairway to Heaven.
You are right about lead singer Anne- although she belts it out on stage she is very reserved in interviews where her sister Nancy does most of the talking- but they were fierce- they wrote this song in one day after a creepy reporter asked if they were lesbian lovers knowing full well that they are biological sisters- so they turned the anger into a killer song calling him a barracuda and made millions off the song
The reporter asked the question because it was a story being floated by one of their record label executives, the song is about the smooth taking marketing exec and not the reporter. They changed record labels because of this crap that guy did.
The bass and drums for this song were lifted from Led Zeppelin's song "Achilles' Last Stand" which appeared on their album Presence, released March 31st, 1976. Many guitar notes and the sound of the guitar were lifted from Achilles as well. Js
Ann Wilson has the best female Rock voice and better than a plethora of male Rock voices. I've listened to her from the Seventies until now and she can still sing great
Nobody kills Barracuda like the writers and Ann is the writer....so Heart kills it!! I agree with the other's comments on this, Straight On, Magic Man and Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin where Heart sings Stairway is A MUST!!! Thanks Airplay Beats!!
The song is succinctly explained @Rick Forbes th-cam.com/video/lGWSc8LPtVo/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgxdQE-V5fAXH-J4Pyl4AaABAg.9q_dvBLikUP9q_sI3JwOa3 The battle with their record company over their contract came later. Best Wishes. ☮
Well it was about a label tool who basically told a sleazy journalist that Ann and Nancy were lesbian lovers. They are sisters. The journalist is the barracuda, lying low in the weeds, hoping to ambush it's prey. "If the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick"
@@kimberlyhalloran5724 it was about a label rep who floated the rumour Ann and Nancy were lesbian lovers. They are sisters. "When the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick"
So, I’m 67 and I remember rockin’ and dancing our little asses off at the Zodiac Club in New Westminster BC to Heart…so fun, they did some great covers of Led Zeppelin songs and then they made it big, playing large venues everywhere.😍
I remember when Heart's Barracuda came out. It was my favorite song for a few months probably. Nancy Wilson definitely underrated. Ann definitely has some of the best female pipes in rock. Legit band. Once again, in a time of amazing music popping out every week in their era. Nothing like today.
Glad you're delving into Heart...Superior Ann and Nancy Wilson never fail! Request you do Mistral Wind...not very well played back in the day but is a beautiful song showcasing Ann's vocal range and Nancy's guitar playing!❤❤
Got to see and hear them do this live back in August of 1977 at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ. It was the day Elvis died and they dedicated the last song if the encore, Zeppelin's "Rock n Roll" to the King.
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers ever and she's still performing at 73 I believe. Their in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and surely deserved it. ALONE and NEVER are very very good also plus more. This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Fabulous Wilson sisters and their crew! Anne arguably the best female voice in rock for many many years. Killer group since the mid 70’s, Nancy is no slouch on guitar. You’ll find that Ann’s vocal range touches many textures as you get acquainted with their body of work.
Several members of Heart recorded under the name The Lovermongers. They covered a LOT of Led Zeppelin songs. Both Wilson sisters said they loved Led Zeppelin growing up.
You should hear the sisters harmonize. It almost sounds like she overdubs the backups, but she doesn’t. Do “Dog and Butterfly” a great ballad where both si sisters vocals shine. And Nancy’s guitar playing too.
Good morning gentlemen. Awesome job for both you guys do the story behind the song is that it was made for at their time record company producer/executive was giving them a crappy deal and eating up the bands money and so they nickname him barracuda and then they made the song.
This entire Masterpiece album "Little Queen" is a Must Listen. "Dreamboat Annie" is also a Masterpiece album, take a listen to "Sing Child", love Love, LOVE, Ann Wilson, and The Band.
These sisters can do it all. ❤️🎶❤️Anne is very polished in her technic vocally. This song- well singing in 6/8 time is a challenge right from rip.Anne also has air for days….that’s a vocalist,not a singer in a band. Pat Benetar is also classically trained and has techniques/ air and power. I covered them in the 80’s…still sing now- not easy to do….not at all. Love your reactions.
Absolutely a fantastic Heart classic! The song was written about their producer at Vancouver's Mushroom Records when he let slip the false rumour that Ann and Nancy were also lovers, despite being sisters. They were so angry that they quit the Mushroom label and wrote this song about how awful the man was. Though the band was from Seattle, they called my Vancouver, Canada home for their early years and I saw them play many times - open concerts in the city parks, roller rinks, and even once for a high school dance. Hearing them live, and Ann's voice from 10 feet away, was an incredible experience. Heart's early style was a unique blend of Rock, R&B, and Gypsy/Roma Folk with a strong dose of Led Zeppelin. The softness in her voice that you're hearing is the Gypsy Folk coming through. I saw them play so many times that they began to recognise me in the crowd and often gave a smile of acknowledgement at my support. The last time I saw them was at an open air concert in the old football stadium. They were the last of several bands that August day and the sun had just gone down. There was a cool breeze coming off the Pacific and the lights on the mountains behind the stage served as a gorgeous backdrop. I was standing about the fourth row (no seats) in a crowd of over 30,000. Nancy saw me first and flashed me a smile, letting Ann know I was there. After her nod and smile, the band played and charmed us all for an hour. A few old favourites mixed with songs from their new album, Dog And Butterfly. It was, honestly, a magical night. I highly recommend checking out their early tracks. By the time the original band broke up, Ann and Nancy held the Heart name and delivered a strong number of 80s hits, but those never hold up for me as much as their first handful of albums.
Never heard Ann Wilson's voice described as 'sweet', or Ann described as 'the girl next door' LOL. Love hearing different reactions to songs I've heard a million times...awesome.
You had some great songs today! Ann Wilson is a goddess, the greatest female hard rock singer ever. I also love the drum sound on this track. The kick drum technique is dope too. Ann and Nancy had an act called The LoveMongers. All I know is they covered Battle of Evermore by Zeppelin, and it’s exquisite.
This song crystallizes for me the difference between the radio station my parents listened to, and the radio station you only heard in the kids' bedrooms. 😂 I remember stopping and looking at the radio the first time I heard this. It was *different*. It also kills me that you didn't talk about anything other than Ann Wilson's voice. 😂😂 I don't remember you ever ignoring a riff or rhythm section until today. Props to Ann & Nancy!
I was in 7th grade when this came out. I'd wait for it to come on the radio and crank it up every time. This was also at a time that I'd record my favorite songs off the radio onto a cassette. You'd always have a little DJ talk at the beginning and the end 😞
You can certainly hear the Led Zeppelin influence. In an interview, Anne Wilson said they had been big fans of Led Zepelin for many years, and when they met, became fast friends. I guess that's why they picked "Heart" to induct them, into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
![พบรัก - INK WARUNTORN x FELLOW FELLOW [LIVE SESSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1VonHhP6_Y8/mqdefault.jpg)
My vote for greatest female rock vocalist ever.
I second that
No question
Her cover of LZ’s Immigrant Song is outstanding!! ☮️❤️
Chrissy Hynde.
Mine too.
Like these other folks have said. Heart and Ann Wilson’s voice doing Stairway to Heaven in front of Plant, Page and JPJ with Bonzo’s son on the drums is top notch. Kennedy Cente Awards!!
Absolutely! I have recommended the same--I think it's a "must react". 😁
Agreed. They should listen to “alone” just to her Ann’s voice.
Yes, this! But watching the video is a must, you can't just listen to it. They make Robert Plant cry!!
100% agree with the comments. Robert Plant sheds a tear because it is such a beautiful rendition of their song. The sisters also have a great version of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore".
First thing I thought of TOO! 👍😉 what an EPIC performance!!!!
Throwin' out another vote for ya to watch their tribute to Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center...best live performance of Stairway to Heaven...period...🔥
What I came here to say.
an absolute must see performance
I third this motion !
I hope so
“Magic Man” and “Straight On” are early Heart bangers you have to experience. That said, the Kennedy Center Honors performance of “Stairway To Heaven” when Led Zeppelin was inducted is everything and more.
💯 AGREE! Would love their reaction on songs you mentioned.
Well said. Written? Typed? I know: expressed. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
Ann Wilson is a force of nature! 😎
Magic man & Heart's tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors performing Stairway to heaven in front of Robert,Jimmy & JPJ❤️
Anne just kept getting better and better. For me she is America's finest female rock singer. The Kennedy Center performance is a must watch.
@@vandalayindustries3057 I didn't say US. However San Diego is not in Canada, Mexico or PUERTO RICA!
I will not be the first and will definitely not be the last to say watch the Kennedy Center performance. Hands down the best Stairway To Heaven cover.
later on in her career, Anne has done solo music and Nancy has gone to do musical scores for films. She did the score for a film called Almost Famous
An album full of bangers with one side live.
They cover Zeppelin live.
You fellahs owe it to yourselves to watch their Kennedy Center Honors cover of Stairway to Heaven.
Also Battle of Evermore. Better than Zep.
The Alive In Seattle version though. It's better than the RRHOF show.
"Straight On" is another Heart song I think you would like.
Yes!!!!
You are right about lead singer Anne- although she belts it out on stage she is very reserved in interviews where her sister Nancy does most of the talking- but they were fierce- they wrote this song in one day after a creepy reporter asked if they were lesbian lovers knowing full well that they are biological sisters- so they turned the anger into a killer song calling him a barracuda and made millions off the song

@@RMForbes505 Succinct and accurate. 👏 Good job. Beat me to it.
Best Wishes. ☮
Live is always a must with Heart.
Clean, clean vocal. Just a really talented band.
Love Alive has always been in my top 5 Heart tunes. Never mentioned.
Totally agree!
She's has always been the best female voice in rock.
Dreamboat Annie, Straight on for You, Stairway to Heaven Live at the Kennedy Center Honors all very impressive. Love Ann and Nancy!!
Sisters, vocals and lead guitar......rare talent
The bass and drums for this song were lifted from Led Zeppelin's song "Achilles' Last Stand" which appeared on their album Presence, released March 31st, 1976. Many guitar notes and the sound of the guitar were lifted from Achilles as well. Js
Ann and Nancy Wilson are bad ass!
Yay!!! One of the best rock songs ever.
My Seattle girls killing it again, bridging the gap from Jimi to grunge, to keep my hometown known for rock and not just rain.
And heroin and leftist douche bags
It's been mentioned, but their Zep covers are outstanding. I always thought of them as Zep's gypsy sisters.
This song has one of the best outros of all time....just mesmerizing.
💯
You ain't heard nothin yet. This Gal can do way amazing things with her voice. Huge range.
Ann Wilson has the best female Rock voice and better than a plethora of male Rock voices. I've listened to her from the Seventies until now and she can still sing great
Heartless, Magic Man, Mistral Wind, If Looks Could Kill, Bad Animals, Black on Black are all great heavy rockers from Heart.
Nobody kills Barracuda like the writers and Ann is the writer....so Heart kills it!! I agree with the other's comments on this, Straight On, Magic Man and Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin where Heart sings Stairway is A MUST!!! Thanks Airplay Beats!!
I wore this record OUT in the 6th grade, 1977. For a young girl and big fan of hard rock, Heart was a absolute revelation.
Their song Straight On To You features Ann and her sister Nancy’s impeccable duet vocals. Heart is legendary
The song is not about fish, it's about Hearts battle with the record industry and their contract.
The song is succinctly explained @Rick Forbes

Wow I always thought it was about a sexual act
@@kimberlyhalloran5724 it was about a label rep who floated the rumour Ann and Nancy were lesbian lovers. They are sisters. "When the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick"
'Timbre' is the word your looking for there. No one had it so fine as Anne. She is a powerhouse without sounding shrill.
The drums on this track are killer
great band! great vocals! and how bout that drummer, bassist, and lead guitarist? they shredded it
Sisters Wilson are royalty in Rock..
Ann Wilson can belt out any song! She's amazing!
Let there be Rock! 🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸👍😃
She can SANG!! ❤❤
I think Ann Wilson is easily one of the greatest female rock singers in history! And that BAND!!!!!!!!!!
So, I’m 67 and I remember rockin’ and dancing our little asses off at the Zodiac Club in New Westminster BC to Heart…so fun, they did some great covers of Led Zeppelin songs and then they made it big, playing large venues everywhere.😍
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest voices in rock!
Lick it Up and Detroit Rock City are my two favorite Heart Songs. The Wilson sisters are my favorites! ❤
wow, this song..when i was a teen, this played at every school dance or party at least four times that night, that song was huge
She sings effortlessly and high. Then she brings that edge and you know she can take your heart any time she want's
She’s got mine forever!
I remember when Heart's Barracuda came out. It was my favorite song for a few months probably. Nancy Wilson definitely underrated. Ann definitely has some of the best female pipes in rock. Legit band. Once again, in a time of amazing music popping out every week in their era. Nothing like today.
Heart been on the go since 1977. Anne Wilson is the greatest rock singer on the planet. Great choice you should watch them doing it live.
There are some great older and harder tracks from Dog & Butterfly and Little Queen. - When they were just a straight up hard rock band.
The guitar riff sounds like Jimmy Page on The Immigrant Song- killer singing, guitar work and master drumming
Check out Ann’s video of Immigrant Song- it’s incredible!
Glad you're delving into Heart...Superior Ann and Nancy Wilson never fail! Request you do Mistral Wind...not very well played back in the day but is a beautiful song showcasing Ann's vocal range and Nancy's guitar playing!❤❤
Ann Wilson is an iconic rock singer. I would never describe her voice as soft and sweet. Powerhouse and crystal clear. Ann sounds just as good live.
Don't forget the drummer, He totally owns this one.
Got to see and hear them do this live back in August of 1977 at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ.
It was the day Elvis died and they dedicated the last song if the encore, Zeppelin's "Rock n Roll" to the King.
Loved this album as well. You can almost feel the Zeppelin influence. It has Achilles last stand written all over it.
and Immigrant Song
Crazy on You has similar sounds to Achilles Last Stand
🎸💯 HEART ALWAYS ROCKS OUT‼🔥
🤯The Wilson sisters were very badass‼This was an excellent choice guys‼Keep rocking‼☮ ❤ 🎶
Another great band from Seattle.
Gotta do the Heart tribute to Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center!!
You should check out Heart's live performance and see these women work! I saw Heart live in 1976. Incredible. They sound as good live as recorded.
HEART playing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center!
Ann Wilson always top tier with the vocals
I saw Heart in concert in Atlanta in the 70's. They rocked.
Ann Wilson has one of my all time favorite top 5 rock voices. Nancy can belt it out too.
Love them. Sing child sing , she really shines
A great band. Galloping drum beat. Sensational vocals.
Love, love, LOVE this song. It never gets old.
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers ever and she's still performing at 73 I believe. Their in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and surely deserved it. ALONE and NEVER are very very good also plus more. This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great song through and through, but the tension, energy, and power of the outro always gets me.
Good music is good music - no matter the genre . and you guys are hittin it all. Good on you !
Several members of Heart recorded under the name The Lovermongers. They covered a LOT of Led Zeppelin songs. Both Wilson sisters said they loved Led Zeppelin growing up.
Airplay Beats is my happy space, experiencing music with La and Che and y’all!
This channel is my reprise from all the craziness in the world.
A rock band with heart! Ann Wilson is a beauty, and a beast! Been with Heart from their beginnings, which was my hs years. You must do more Heart!
LIVE she left it all on stage, what memories
A must see is Heart Live at the Kennedy Center where they pay tribute to Led Zeppelin watching from the VIP honors seats
You should hear the sisters harmonize. It almost sounds like she overdubs the backups, but she doesn’t. Do “Dog and Butterfly” a great ballad where both si sisters vocals shine. And Nancy’s guitar playing too.
Musics amazing ofc their bridges are so imaginative
Women of My Youthful Dreams...
Sweet and powerful. It's hard not to feel immediately attracted to her.
Good morning gentlemen. Awesome job for both you guys do the story behind the song is that it was made for at their time record company producer/executive was giving them a crappy deal and eating up the bands money and so they nickname him barracuda and then they made the song.
You fellas will straight up LOVE the song STRAIGHT ON. Just trust me.
This entire Masterpiece album "Little Queen" is a Must Listen. "Dreamboat Annie" is also a Masterpiece album, take a listen to "Sing Child", love Love, LOVE, Ann Wilson, and The Band.
Best rock drum track ever, I believe.

the pipes on her .. just wow / your analagy blew me away ,,, Ive been a big fan for decades (even saw em live once) you said it best .. Thanks guys
Her voice is beautiful 👍
Knew you'd like this one. Glad you checked it out.
Anne had one of the top vocal coaches in the world at that time.
You had some great songs today! Ann Wilson is a goddess, the greatest female hard rock singer ever. I also love the drum sound on this track. The kick drum technique is dope too. Ann and Nancy had an act called The LoveMongers. All I know is they covered Battle of Evermore by Zeppelin, and it’s exquisite.
Heart were pioneers in womens rock and the industry made it very difficult for them to succeed.

Watch their live concert before this even came out. KWSU (the second ending 1976). Ann plays a mean flute. Great stuff.
Hardest rocking females!
She still sounds great at 73 !!!
I was in 7th grade when this came out. I'd wait for it to come on the radio and crank it up every time. This was also at a time that I'd record my favorite songs off the radio onto a cassette. You'd always have a little DJ talk at the beginning and the end 😞
Ahhh...those days of mixed tapes ✌🏼
LOVE ALIVE and LITTLE QUEEN.
2:15 broooo thats what it is love that analogy

Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand" was the inspriation for the guitar part for this song.
Seen them live 3 times. Always on point! Ann and Nancy's harmonies are incredible.
