Story of Heart
Heart: A Rock Legacy Built on Power and Passion
Heart, the iconic American-Canadian rock band, emerged from the fertile music scene of Vancouver, British Columbia in 1973. The band's roots run deep, tracing back to earlier projects led by founding members Roger Fisher (guitar) and Steve Fossen (bass), including The Army, Hocus Pocus, and White Heart.
By 1975, the core lineup that propelled Heart to stardom was solidified: Fisher, Fossen, and the powerful vocal duo of Ann Wilson (lead vocals and flute) and Nancy Wilson (rhythm guitar and vocals), alongside Michael Derosier (drums) and Howard Leese (guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals). This formidable team, recognized for their contributions in 2013 with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, spearheaded Heart's rise to prominence in the mid-to-late 1970s.
Heart's music blended the raw energy of hard rock and heavy metal with the heartfelt vulnerability of folk influences, creating a unique and enduring sound. The late 1970s and early 1980s saw significant lineup changes, with Fisher, Fossen, and Derosier departing and being replaced by Mark Andes (bass) and Denny Carmassi (drums). While the band faced a dip in popularity initially, they staged a triumphant comeback in the mid-1980s, fueled by a string of radio hits that continued into the 1990s.
Though Heart officially disbanded in 1998, the Wilson sisters remained the constant, consistently reuniting for tours and new recordings. Their legacy, however, extends far beyond those landmark hits. Heart's catalog boasts a string of classic rock anthems, including "Magic Man" (1975), "Crazy on You" (1976), "Barracuda" (1977), "What About Love" (1985), "Never" (1985), and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" (1990). Their iconic power ballads "These Dreams" (1986) and "Alone" (1987) solidified their place in the rock pantheon.
Heart's story is a testament to the enduring power of music, marked by unwavering passion, creative evolution, and the unbreakable bond between the Wilson sisters. Their influence on rock music continues to resonate with fans worldwide, proving that Heart's music, much like their spirit, is truly timeless.
