With a career spanning over twenty years, Heart has archived at least 10 gold / platinum albums and over thirty Top 40 singles, which include a #1 album, two #1 singles, as well as sold out world tour.

From their first demos, Heart has been built around the combine talents of Ann Wilson,
the group's lead singer and lyricist, and her younger sister Nancy Wilson, the group's
composer and guitarist.

However, Heart `s roots go back before that to 1963, then bassist Steve Fossen  joined with lead guitarist Roger Fisher formed a band called "The Army". The group changed their name to "White Heart" and then around 1967 decided on just Heart. This lineup also featured keybordist Howard Lees and drummer Micael Derosier.

With this lineup in place Heart became a big hit on the Seattle / Vancouver bars and club
scenes.

In 1975 Heart signed with Mushroom Records, a small Canadian label. That same year Heart released their debut album. "Dream boat Annie", which sold over 30.000 copies in Canada. The record came out in 1976.

Unable to secure U.S. distribution the album was exported to the Pacific Northwest.
With little fanfare, the album sold 25.000 copies in Seattle alone. Shortly thereafter Heart was the opening act for the Loggins & The Jefferson Starship tours.

In 1976 Heart spent 10 months on the road playing over 200 concerts before 15 million people. All the hard work finally paid of. "Dream boat Annie" went Platinum and spawned a Top 100 hit "Magic Man".

Midway through the recording sessions for their second album, "Magazine" Heart signed with Portrait Records. Fearing that a Court order might prevent the release of any new  material Heart rushed out its Portrait debut album "Little Queen" in May of 1977.
The album achieved double platinum status and produced the huge hit "Barracuda".

Mushroom Records legally won the right to release "Magazine". However Heart was allowed to re-record five vocal tracks and remix the album. "Magazine" was released in April 1978, the album achieved platinum status and produced the hit "Heartless".
That same year Heart released "Dog & Butterfly" which was also certified double platinum.

In 1979 Roger Fisher left the band. Heart later carried on as a quintet releasing the album "Bebe Le Strange" in March of 1980. The album reached the Top 5, and became their highest charting release to date.

In 1982 Steve Fossen and Michael Derosier were replaced by bassist Mark Andes and
drummer Denny Carmassi.

In 1986 Heart signs with Capitol Records and on 25 of June same year they released the album "Heart", an album which went straight to #1 and spawned four Top 10 singles "These Dreams" peak chart position #1, "Never" peak chart position #4, "What About
Love" peak chart position #10, and "Nothing At All" peak chart position #10. The "Heart" album has sold more than 5 million copies in the U.S. alone and earned Heart the first of four Grammy nominations.

Released on 15 of Mai 1987  "Bad Animals", an album which peak chart position #2 and produced two Top 10 hits "Alone" peak chart position #1 and "Who Will You Run To"
peak chart position #7. The history says that Ann don`t like the demo of "Alone". She refused to sing it! The band succeeded in talking here round to sing it, and we all know that this song became a Hughes hit!

In 1990 Heart released "Brigade" an album which peaked at #3 on the charts and produced the hit "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You", peak chart position #2.

In 1991 Heart released "Rock The House Live!". This record was recorded in Worcester,
Massachusetts at The Centrum on 28 of November 1990. I hardly recommended this record for those ho not have any record of HEART, and want to by something to start with.

In 1993 Heart released "Desire Walks On" released 8 of November 1993, an album which included the Top 40 hit, peak chart position #30  "Will You Be There (In the Morning)".

Heart returned in 1995 with the album "The Road Home" released in November, a
collection of some of their greatest hits performed acoustically. The song "The Road Home" was recorded during the wildly successful five-nigt stand at Seattle's Backstage club in August 1994.

In 1995 they also released "Heart definitive collection"

In 1997 came the album "These Dreams Greatest Hits" This is a album with all of Heart most popularly songs.

In year 2000 they give out another best off album "Best off Heart 1985 - 1995". Here they have take all the best from this period, but this must be something the record company have get to geather, because for all of uss ho have there albums something missing. If Heart should give out a best of  album with all the best of songs from the debut album and up to day, this will be more then one CD or LP. They should give out a Hughes box set believe me.

We are MANY fans of this ban world wide, aren't we? Please mail me if so!
We also now understand why Heart was dubbed "Little Led Zeppelin", by Led Zeppelin themselves.

Heart has achieved superstar status and are in the company of only the elite few bands that have had Top 10 albums and singles in the 1970`s, 80`s and 90`s and undoubtedly will
continue to do so into the 21st Century and far beyond.

The last things you can say about Heart is, the dream come true. A true testament of the power of music when it's delivered straight from the Heart.
