Nancy Wilson: Capitol Records
built 200 days ago
Despite the fact that she’s a rock star, Nancy Wilson has never hogged the spotlight; she’s always shared it with the people she loves most. The prime example: she kicked off her professional career by becoming the lead guitarist in Heart, a band founded by her older sister, Ann, in the mid-’70s. Heart’s first album was produced in 1976 by an obscure Canadian label, Mushroom, after nobody else would touch it—and that effort, called Dreamboat Annie, went platinum. Since then, Heart has had six mega-platinum albums and two gold ones; they’ve sold more than 30 million records. The sisters tied for the number forty slot on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Women in Rock ’n’ Roll—beating out Cher, Sarah Vaughan, Alanis Morrisette, and Melissa Etheridge, to name a few.
