Heart

Yes Ann and Nancy Wilson in their heyday were a force to be reckoned with! They were hugely popular at Rock Radio during the release of their self titled Album “Heart” They were a staple at Radio especially after making the determination to go all in with MTV and their more mainstream rock sound. With this release “Heart” they cracked the Top 10 with multiple tracks and for the first time had a #1 Billboard hit with “These Dreams” This ballad propelled them as Ann is quoted as saying to me…”beyond our wildest dreams”. The band was touring during this time and came to the Oakland Coliseum on this Sold Out tour. I was invited backstage for a meet & greet. Little did I know at the time, that the radio promoter had brought bottles of Champaign back stage. When I was talking to the sisters, the promoter pulled out flutes and proceeded to pour us all glasses to toast this achievement of having gone to #1 on the Billboard charts that day. This was the bands first #1 and we all enjoyed the opportunity to share in this massive achievement. A photographer was on hand and the photo showed a delighted Ann and Nancy Wilson in a celebratory mood. This party happened preshow, so by the time the band hit the stage, they were in rare form.
