Ann Wilson is a legendary rock and roll musician, singer and songwriter, widely regarded as one of the best female vocalists in rock music history. Ann and her sister Nancy first showed the world that women can rock when their band, Heart, stormed the charts in the ‘70’s with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” and “Straight On.” Heart continued topping the charts through the ‘80’s and ‘90’s with huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” and “What About Love.” Along the way, they sold more than 35 million albums, earned 4 Grammys, sold out arenas worldwide, and found their way into the soundtrack of American life through radio, motion pictures, television, and associations with branded sponsors. Today, songs made famous by Heart are heard in every aspect of contemporary culture. The Wilson sisters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, the same year that earned them a Lifetime Achievement Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their first-ever memoire (Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul and Rock & Roll), released in September of 2012, spent several weeks on the New York Times “Best Sellers” chart.
