Ann and Nancy Wilson - Interview with Tavis Smiley (2012) 

These girls could talk all day long, It so soothing listening to Nancy

These ladies are incredibly honest and real! No phoniness here! Anns voice was and still is strong and ongoing😊

Ann’s voice is still so strong after all these years and Nancy has become an accomplished virtuoso guitarist.

I've loved Heart for many years. Always from a balcony or rear of a stadium. Until.....they came to Kansas, about 2005ish, to the State Fair. The lady I happened to be family caregiver for secretly bought tickets and then surprised me with the concert. State Fair venues do have a smaller venue that's more intimate than a large large venue. Since this lady was handicapped, she got tickets down front for her and her aide. 25-30 feet from them big azz speakers, and the front of the stage, where I was treated as though I were one of their traveling Fans, singing Crazy On You with Nancy, even though they never saw me again. Two of the most dynamic, elegant, Rock n Roll ladies in the world. I shall pass from this world one day and I'll still be a fan. 😊❤️

Two Beautiful Souls. Grew up with their music. Never got to see them in concert. A wish I hope will come true some day. Maybe, Maybe not. Getting older and have health issues. In my Dreams.💖

These are the two most beautiful, talented women in rock history. I have all the albums. I just want to say thank you ladies for you sharing this with all of us. Hall of fame for ever ladies

They both are extremely well-spoken. You can see that they're not only uber TALENTED, but also very INTELLIGENT! 🎸💡💯🙌🏾

Tavis is a good interviewer. I enjoyed this. Ann and Nancy are are so real.

They are my number 1 woman rock group, woman of rocks G.O.A.T. right here.

I rate Ann as one of the most beautiful faces of woman in rock and roll ....👍

Heart was and is one of my favorite bands Ann and Nancy Rock !!!!

2 amazingly talented and humble women. I consider growing up listening to their music an absolute privilege. They inspired me to pick up my guitar when I was 12 and here we are now 35 yrs later and they continue to inspire. They're the main reason my daughter picked up drums. My daughter and I love jamming to heart songs together. Thank you for these precious memories 💖

Incredible artist. Ann has the most incredible pipes ever...the notes she hits are what most singers dream of. Both have a very unique style about them. I personally think Ann is drop dead gorgeous!

ANN & NANCY WILSON ARE TWO SMART & TALENTED WOMEN!!!!!!!!!

Growing up with these two blasting out of my speakers throughout the 70's to now was and still is so amazing.

Great interview and style. The Wilson Sisters have been keeping it real since they started. Heart first broke out in Canada in 1975, where they'd moved to Vancover and recorded their first album. Their big break happened when they were an emergency fill in at a concert backing up Rod Stewart in Montreal. I was 15 when Dreamboat Annie came out. I was all in at first listen on the radio.

I saw them live in early 80's with Heart. I just love Ann and her amazing voice. Best rock ladies of all time.

My ultimate crush😍❤️🇵🇭 Ann Wilson🙏👏

Ladies..your talent, brains ,and beauty is just not ok its monumental. I thank you.

Thank you woman of rock and roll we're always enjoyed listen to your music

2 women icons of Rock, great interview.

Love both of the Wilson sisters. I think they are both gorgeous. Long live Heart.

I may be an idiot, but i believe everything they talked about. I can tell those ladies are as real as it gets. I wish i knew them.i think they are both good people

Loved this interview...great band.Follow your bliss!

they get better over time. I think more of them each year. My respect goes up. They are totally underrated.

Ann ♥️ Nancy … beautiful inside and out … love these two

Thank you Ladies, lost my wife of 45 years recently. We saw you a couple times because she wanted to go. So glad we did. Thank you for sharing also. G.

Ann I love your voice and I've been listening to you since I was just young man, with the Dreamboat Annie 8-track. And I've had a crush on you the whole time. I have never seen you when you were anything but gorgeous.

Congratulations Girls! Best woman band in the world. You guys just rocked and outsang and outplayed a ton of males! Whats great is everyone in music and the United States was unsure of you two and skeptic yet here we are telling you your better than most male bands!! Love you both!!

Both gorgeous in many ways. Ann and Nancy wrote and performed stellar songs that really pierced the hearts of millions. Their voices and harmonies are so blended and their talents are out of this world. Beatlemania ran in their blood and it reflected the greatness of the Fab Four in their songwriting and performances live and in the studio. These two sisters are role models for the rockers who avoided the enigma of stardom not into drugs, etc. That is very admirable for their strong character and fantastic music. Our hearts congratulate them for music well done!

One of the best bands that there are

It’s so interesting how Nancy as the younger sister, looks to Ann for agreement and support during the interview. Play music was part of the soundtrack of my college years. So powerful and unique

I really liked this interview! Two beautiful rockers and extremely talented but I have always had a huge crush on Ann and always wanted to play with her but I missed that boat...lol In my next life for sure!!! Rock on !!! Thanks for this Tavis!!

Awesome interview. Heart's music will always be timeless.

Beautiful Super Talented sisters,, The godesses of Rock,

Ann's in my Top 10 Pantheon of Greatest Rock Voices of all time!

what a great moment this man could create just because he was ready to make this interview, he listened to the girls and made questions that triggered interesting answers he knew about their story and at least it looks like he cared about what the girls had to say, great interview

That’s one of the best voices in rock!!!

They are my first inspiration. Ann is the first one to make me believe I wanted to be a singer.

WOW! Congrats" Job Well Done!They Really Deserve This Award! They Are Amazing! Just Love THEM, God BLESS!

Wow awesome words from Ann and Nancy I hope and pray The younger generation really pays attention to those words there’s a reason why bands like Hart ,Eagles, kiss ,Aerosmith BTO , Rush ,Godsmack, the band Live ,Tool , and too many to count have survived so long because they GOT IT ! In life !

Hey all your true fans never lost your soul , we knew you when you started and all the roads in between , you girls are queens of everything you do and the bar is set WAY high !!!!

I love them so much! I hope I get to see them live.

A BIG Thank you :) super fun to hear Ann and Nancy tell those powerful stories, late sixties--at protestant church singing Jim Morrison's cancel and how Ed Sullivan's intro of Beatles sparked them up. Hit me too. Especially the jazzy "Til There Was You" on that Meet the Beatles album. I was in 4th grade and O Boy...so hungry to fly ...

Its true : the first four rows were set aside til a week or two before the Ann Wilson concert in my hometown! So it is true they want the true fans down in the front. I feel respected and acknowledged and very, very happy. I cannot believe i get to see her/ hear her up close. Hope i can hold it together. She was so important to me growing up. She and Robert Plant I have immense respect for, not only their past contributions but to their continuing dedication to their craft.

I remember being a teenager and listening to the song “Alone” when it came out. Still love that song.

The Wilson sisters have been and will always be great! Love their music.

Love THE SISTERS!!! ANN has the greatest female voice in Rock history!!!

I grew up listening to these gals. They were our local girls who knew how to rock. I still have my first vinyl album from them. They still rock. Love them🇨🇦❄️🇨🇦

19:25..I was a traveling front row fan..many shows over many tours. But when Heart opened for Def Leppard in 2011, I saw two shows. Problem was those tickets were so inflated$$.I got Def Leppard VIP package for good seats, and traded my Def Leppard swag and our seats after Heart (never saw Def Leppard and didn’t care) for a Def Leppard fan’s great photos of Heart, later emailed to me. 😆 Great times.

WOW!!! Watched Tavis' PBS show for years during its initial broadcast. How in DA HELL did I miss this HEART interview??? I've been a fan of The Wilson Sisters since my High School 70s days. They were the first Rock Concert I saw at Radio City Music Hall in '80 for "BEBE LE STRANGE" (I still have My Program Book). And seen them on various occasions afterwards. This was one of Smiley's GREAT Interviews to say the least. Too bad Ann and Nancy no longer tour together.

Very good interview indeed. Glad to see them in the Rock Hall of Fame. Heart is a rock legend. Put out iconic songs. Classic rock indeed.👍

Two amazing ladies!! So happy they became rock stars. Their music was incredible and i loved how they changed with the times changing adjusting their music to whats popular. They seemed to have a hit in every decade. I liked them in the 70s as a kid but didn't get to really know them till the 80s and mtv. Fell in love with Nancy because she's beautiful and played my favorite instrument. I wanted to meet them so bad!! These two truly deserve all the accolades and rewards for their accomplishments!!

Both amazingly talented original and beatiful 🤘

still beautiful ladies you rock

I often wonder if any animosity was fueled when sister, Nancy had the biggest hit in the recording history of Heart,?? These Dreams. I can't imagine, that Ann, with the ego we're hearing about from past members, would relish that happening. It must've been a blow of sorts??!!

Wonderful interview. Ann & Nancy are the real deal, irreplaceable and should be love to the fullest ❤

These girls are awesome

Tavis...miss this guy.

SUCH ! a superior interview.

Well deserved induction into the Rock Hall of Fame

Love the Wilson sisters. Big, big on civil rights, bless you guys! New to your channel, gonna check you guys out some more.

I' l Listening To Them ALWAYS!!

Great interview. Definitely one of the best bands to come from the states. Never mind that they're female.

I remember listening to them in the late 70s. They were awesome! Never gave it any thought back then how hard it was for them having to prove themselves as women rockers. Just really enjoyed their music and had a crush on both of them. By the 80s I lost almost all interest in rock music. What they said about imaging during the 80s was true. The music really did suffer. Nothing like the late 60s & 70s.

Fantastic interview, i have always loved their music. They are so great! Heart❤

Great interview thanks for posting this

I had crush on both of them in the 80's, Ann was the mysterious bad ass and Nancy the girl next door.

the intro was so cute with van evers! love this!

Great interview

Man I've had the biggest crush on Ann, especially when These Dreams was out!

Ann. Heart. A. Greatest. Singer. Ever. Thank. You. Ann. Heart

They are the best that has ever been !

Very good interview, Thanks.

Loved them since the first album in 75. Saw then on Dreamboat Annie tour opening for Dave Mason. Ann's voice is still incredible.♥️

The 1980s videos with overdone style was tough for us hardcore fans. It didnt look like either of you.. good to hear you ladies agree !

Love Ann And Nancy- Woke me up to a different genre of music other then the stuff my parents where listening to. Remarkable talent they both have

Heart❣ One of my favorite group thier songs are priceless! And, I still have album's in LP vinyl. Helped me through trying times with appreciation.🥰👌

I’ve never seen this guy’s show, but he is great at asking all the right questions

National Treasure they deserve a Presidential Medal for their work!

Watched Ed Sullivan with them. Watched them for yrs. Watching them again obviously. Still in love 💕.

Two Gorgeous Women 😍✨💕

Great interview!

I love Heart!! Ann is so beautiful so is Nancy❤❤❤

I ❤'d growing up with heart..

I seen them back in the day and May 17 last Friday night and they were spectacular and hasn’t missed the beat

you KNEW they wouldn't say banal things. very cool, bright women. and gloria steinem's right.

Hey beautiful sissies. You filled my heart with beautiful vibrations, when i was 15 and preparing for my final exams at secondary school. Not for a moment I thought: girls should not perform rock. I had heard and seen Tina Turner, Jefferson Airplane, Shocking Blue and plenty of other female rockers before. You just made me extremely happy and a bit in love. You were great.

This is pretty great. Good questions and comments.

I love the band Heart , Ann and Nancy are still looking good i always played Heart when i was in Germany with my truck because Amarican Forces Network played a lot off music from Heart in the 80,s it was good music for the road to listen.Greets from Holland.😃

I always loved hearts music, they have been writing great songs for many years, there both beautiful and early smart, you have to be in the music business Which is ruthless, I love and admire them, cheers!!!

2 Wonder ful SISTER!

saw the band at the George Klein Christmas Special event in Memphis back in the 70's as a teen. There was an ice storm, so nobody showed up but a handful of us who walked there, lived down the street in Midtown Memphis..they still played and had a good time.

Great interviewer!!

TRAVIS SAY'S ANN & NANCY WILSON WHO MAKE UP THE GROUP HARP? IT'S HEART!

Congratulations! Again

Heart...like other women musical groups before them (such as Fanny)...had proven without a doubt that Rock N Roll isn't just for boys... I saw them in Japan (the Japan Jam) while on Liberty in the Navy in 1979...the good old days...

Incredible band!

Always had a huge crush on Nancy Wilson … still do. Hubba hubba
