The Beauty of Song, Part Two: Rock musician Nancy Wilson of Heart

Last time I did a month's worth of posts devoted to beautiful women in music, I posted a picture of Nancy Wilson the jazz singer and promised to feature Nancy Wilson the Heart guitarist/singer in my next series of beautiful women in music.



Promise made, promise kept. :-)

With her sister Ann, Nancy Wilson led Heart, one of the biggest rock and roll bands of the seventies and eighties. Although many people remember Heart for synthesized power ballads of the 1980s like "These Dreams," Heart's glory days were in the 1970s, in which they produced a string of heavy rock and roll songs worthy of classic rock - "Barracuda," "Crazy On You," Magic Man," and "Dreamboat Annie," among others. They even found time to cover Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is."



One critic likened Heart's sound in the seventies to a mix of Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin - "Jethro Zeppelin."

In 1986, Nancy Wilson married rock journalist turned filmmaker Cameron Crowe.
