Heart is a combination hard rock and folk music band that found success in the mid 1970s when sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson joined the group.



Their hits continued strong until the mid 1980s. This band is my all-time favorite band of that era. Strong women role models, the Wilson sisters are the most respected and talented women in rock history.6 points
