First Time Hearing Heart - Magic Man Reaction - IS PHIL A MAGIC MAN FOR SAM? ANOTHER HEART BANGER! 

When you do "Crazy on You" you have to do the live version so you can see Nancy do the great acoustic guitar into.

"Crazy on You" is the song that got them attention and won their record contract in the early 70's and they had another big hit in the mid 80's with the power ballad "Alone". Both are fan favorites in concert.

If you wanna hear Ann Wilson go bonkers you gotta try Crazy On You

No autotune. The geatest female voice ever IMO

I feel like this song(Magic Man) , Barracuda and Crazy on You are the Heart hat trick.... they have all such great intros and are really classic rock and roll in every sense of the word.... their later stuff is good but a bit more poppy and these 3 songs will always be at the top of my list.

An era when musicians actually had innate talent not born of marketing, lip syncing, and autotune. Great reaction. Stay authentic.

Can NEVER go wrong with Heart. Legends!!

One of the greatest vocalists of the last century! A true legend!

So glad you're listening to more Heart! "Alone" is another great song from them ❤

That's some of the best guitar work you will ever hear from any band.

Heart basically had two careers. One, in the mid-late 70's when they did rock and folksy stuff and were a fairly big band. Oh, and big time Led Zeppelin hero worshippers. They have several Zeppelin covers. The one of Stairway to Heaven is maybe one of the best covers ever made. This song is from that period. Then they sort of fell off the map for a few years in the early 80's and came back with basically just the two sisters. And in the early to late 80's and did power ballads. In the 70's, Ann, the singer, wrote the songs. In the 80's they hired writers to write the songs and "sexxxed" themselves up with their look. The sister's HATED doing the new outfits but the record company insisted. And for about 5 years they were one of the biggest groups on the planet. The number of hit songs they have from the 80's is pretty astounding. They are still floating around and doing the occasional concert. You really need to do some of their stuff from the 80's period. I think you will really like their sound from then. The Wilson sisters are from Seattle but Ann moved to I think Vancouver to start her music career with her bf I think. Nancy followed her there a year or two later and joined her band. They did a lot of the local clubs in Canada and did a lot of Zeppelin covers until they had a hit played on the radio. Forget which song. It might have been this one. Then I think they came back to the states. They had an excellent biography about 20 years ago that explained all this. This song is about Ann talking to her mother from Canada and explaining to her mom about her new bf and why she won't come back home.

These dreams will show the other sister vocals! It’s fabulous

So many epic Heart songs. Crazy on You, Alone, These Dreams, Stranded, Secret, If Looks Could Kill, What About Love it's a near endless list

Dog and Butterfly a great ballad off this album and Crazy on You a great song.

Early Heart is my favorite. Recommend Crazy on You next, and for something lighter - Dreamboat Annie

This is the song that each member gets a moment to shine. Each guitar is a different player, which is why it sounds that way; even the synth gets a moment. Most of the tracks have a story behind them. They weren't afraid to play.

One of those songs that are made for headphones. If the song went for thirty minutes I'd be even happier.

Heart are rock legends! Definitely check out "Alone" and "These Dreams" The latter song Nancy Wilson does lead vocals. And Ann's vocals will blow you away in Alone! Cheers!

Best female voice in rock for my money. Listen to These Dreams to give Nancy her due.

Great tune, great production, great vocals

A trio of underrated songs from them: "Even It Up" "If Looks Could Kill" "How Can I Refuse"

Another 🔥🔥🔥🔥 song by the great Ann & Nancy and the attributing band members. Ann was performing a few weeks ago may be yet. She is definitely one of the greatest singers ever.

Love Heart! Crazy On You is my favorite!

If you get a chance watch the full live version of Magic Man, the musicians playing this are a trip.

Heart - Magic Man ...They are from Seattle. Ann fell in love with the band's manager Michael Fisher, a draft dodger. Their father was a Marine and the sisters moved to Canada. The following is copied and pasted. ---> Ann Wilson: It’s absolutely my leaving home song. My mother wasn’t all too sure that the best thing for me was to-even though I was already 21, she wasn’t sure that I should be jumping into this full-time sexual cohabitational relationship with somebody in a whole other country [Ann moved from Seattle, Washington, to Vancouver, B.C. with Fisher]. And she was calling me, going, ‘What are you up to? C’mon, I don’t know if you should be going this. Come on back! Be careful, give it some thought!’ And I was just like, ‘Nope, nope, I’m gone! I’m in!’ And it was love at first sight that lasted for about eight years! But “Magic Man” was definitely written about the spell that I was under and my conversations with my mother about it at the time.

Crazy On You is their very best. Some people are going to tell you about a live version. Don’t do it for the first listen. The original album version is absolutely fantastic. You’ll love it.

The entire Dreamboat Annie album is amazing.

Straight On To You is a banger. Love Heart

Crazy on You is another Heart banger!

This was Heart's debut album and Magic Man was their debut on at least Texas radio. You should also check out "Crazy On You"; Ann's vocals are stratospheric and Nancy's acoustic guitar intro is awe inspiring. Interesting note; Nancy plays the intro to "Crazy On You" differently every time she performs it.

Same album, try "Crazy on you". Brilliant song!

I remember this playing all the time in the barracks when it came out.

Straight On For You is a super popular funky song you'll love.

I am 62 heard this bombshell back when I was 15 never gets old

Ann Wilson is one of the most iconic voices.

Backstory (mine)- I grew up heavy into R&B, Funk. A little bit of exposure to the classic rock of the 60's & 70's. Here I was, 16 yrs old, a junior in high school. Now I had heard this song before but never truly listened to it. One day I did. And there was no turning back! Heart's Magic Man was my introduction into Rock n Roll. There was 2 versions of it on the radio stations. The album version was what I heard the first time. Whenever I heard a shorter edited version of it over the airwaves I was offended. It would skip over the guitar solos before Ann chimed back in for the conclusion. I truly loved the longer album version ( played in this video) because it would highlight/ showcase/ put the spotlight on ( as if Ann and Nancy were introducing to the listener ) the talents of each of the individual band members of the band. It literally changed the way I listened to music from that moment forward. That is why to this day some 40 + years later, I have little tolerance for this autotune pop dominated era we are in. I crave REAL talented vocalists, with REAL masters of their REAL instruments.

Make sure to do the studio version of “”Crazy on You” first, the production is fantastic just like this song.

Heart had some bangers. Alone is badass

I bought this album back in the 80s U.K.. my favourite and most listened to, Heart are so gifted ❤

Crazy on you is my favorite by heart. Try it she diffently takes her voice everywhere. 😊

First song I heard was "Barracuda" from the album "Little Queen" and I was a little disappointed that the other songs were not that kind of hardrock. But the longer I listened, the more I fell in love with the band. I love the voice of Ann as much as I love the one of Karen Carpenter. But the music is much better ! 😂 Try "Mistral Wind" and "The Night" as the rocky side of Heart. For the softer side I suggest "Dream of the Archer" (It's sooo romantic) and "These Dreams". Their most underrated album in my opinion is "Passionworks". You should listen to it. Greetings from Germany 😊

Lyrics are amazing

There’s a live version of this, from that period of course, with extended guitars and synthesizer you’ll love!

I agree with comments to listen to "Alone". Great song. Also check out "These Dreams" where the other sister is the lead.

The Wilson sisters ROCK. What a great album.

Saw them in concert back in 1977. Good times.

Yea crazy on you live for Nancy 's opening guitar is dope. Enjoy.

Crazy On You is another outstanding track from this LP.

As a die-hart Heart fan, there are two songs that are a must for y’all: Crazy on You/These Dreams (Rock Hall Induction) Dogs and Butterfly (live)

…..1975 “Dreamboat Annie” track 8 off the album (Sing Child) 🙏🏻 Rock/Funk with Ann Wilson flute solo 🔥❤️

one of the best songs ever ever ever

I love Heart and this song. It came out when I was in high school.

My favorite Heart Song ❤

Would really love to see "Straight On" and "Dog & Butterfly," Nancy's fav of big sis Ann. ❤❤

Finish off the beginning years with Crazy On You and then Dreamboat Annie!!

Great reaction! Sam, please just stand up one time. 😍

"Magic Man": one of my favs!

..."Class of 76"...He's a Magic Man Momma...He's Got the Magic Hands...

Youve barely scratched the surface on Heart sso maaaaany great songs by them. Crazy on you live is a must as is Alone and these dreams to name but a few. I last saw them last yeaar and they still sound amazing Great reaction as usual

Crazy on You is also phenomenal from this album

Black on Black 2. Awesome vocals and very powerful

Crazy On You is their best song in my opinion. Studio version.

The whole album of Dream Boat Annie was awesome !

❤😊 Another one of my absolute favorite bands!! I love your reactions!! ❤ It's so cool that their music stands the test of time!! (I guess I do too since I was in high school when this album came out!! 😲) In addition to all the other songs in the comments, all fantastic their first #1 Billboard hit was "These Dreams". Beautiful song and Nancy sings the lead! 😮😅 Luv you guys!! 😊❤❤

I think that this is their best song.

My jam ♥ Thank u a lot for react to this magictrack !! Heart stills rock ♥

Cruising around in 1976 in my Chevy van with Dreamboat Annie 8 track blasting Away!

Don't know how many nights I listened to their "Little Queen" album just chilling out.

Love you 2. Especially the Canada connection. Look forward to your reactions

"Crazy On You" !!!!

The "Magic Man" is Mike Fisher, Heart's original guitarist. He was Ann Wilson's boyfriend, and she followed him to Canada during the Vietnam War years so he wouldn't get drafted. In 1974, Nancy Wilson (Ann's sister) joined the band and Fisher became their manager and sound engineer. The song is about being madly in love to the point where you are not thinking clearly. The line, "Come on home girl..." relates to Ann Wilson's mother. The line, "Try to understand, Mama, he's a magic man" is Ann's response. Wilson says her mother helped keep her grounded when she was being rather irrational and acting under the spell of her "magic man."

Alone Video a Must.

Regarding your comments about the different sounding guitar solos, the first solo was played by Roger Fisher, the lead guitarist, and then it shifts to the second part of the solo, which was played by Howard Leese, using a different setting on his guitar. It created an interesting contrast for the solo section.

Heart moved from Seattle Washington to Vancouver Canada because Ann Wilson's boyfriend Michael Fisher,the band's manager at the time, was living in Canada to avoid the military draft in 1973.

Heart is magical music!

Another great reaction as always! You guys are perfect

oh yeah! lets do this! enjoy!

Awesome Reaction 👍 Fun Fact: In Heart's early, pre-breakout days playing in the Vancouver club scene, their passion and skill for playing Led Zeppelin cover songs earned them the nickname "Little Led Zeppelin." Can you imagine what an honor it was for them to be chosen to perform "Stairway To Heaven" for the 3 surviving members of ZEP at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin concert? Especially with Jason Bonham, son of original ZEP drummer, the late John Bonham, on drums! That uniquely arranged performance was breathtaking! The reactions of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones caught on camera were priceless! 🤘

My favorite heart song ❤

Easily Heart's best song. If you like the "haunting" vibe of this one you should also do Heartless. One of Heart's most underrated songs despite being on their greatest hits album.

"Magic Man" my personal favorite from the "Dreamboat Annie" Album. And for me personally, coming in at second is "Sing Child".

such a great song

If you haven't done "Crazy on You" yet please do it live!! And this has been a great reaction!

Ann and Nancy wrote this song, It was inspired by Ann's boyfriend at the time Mike Fisher, Heart's manager whose brother Roger Fisher was lead guitarist. They had moved from Seattle to Vancouver for the guys in the band to avoid the draft for Vietnam.

Great song..

in 1976 I saw them live at the Electric Rodeo concert with REO Speed-wagon, Johnny and Edgar Winter, Renaissance, Nils Lofgrin and a few other acts. ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!

I love your reactions! You both are so genuine. Very refreshing! I married my magic man at 18, he was 26, lasted 5 years, was like, nope !😁

White Lightning and Wine from this same album is awesome.

I live in the UK and bought this album around 1973 when it 1st came out. I cannot remember how I first heard it but I have been a fan ever since!💖

that "strange sound" you mentioned was a Moog "MiniMoog" synthesizer. A compact keyboard based synth

You need to watch the videos!!!

This was easily their biggest song early on. Played on the radio constantly.

I remember when Alone was on radio in Portugal. Pretty much every radio station broadcasted that song every hour. After a couple of weeks another song, with a more rocking sound had the same broadcast time ( sorry, I can't remember the name). Some three or four months later, no more Heart songs were taking the airwaves. Many people thought the band was extinct.

IMO this is Heart’s masterpiece ❤

Great reaction Sam and Phil! I've listened to a lot of powerful female rock 'n' roll singers. Before most of them singing today were born, there was Heart and Ann Wilson.

Do "Straight on for You" it's a popular song and was a hit but you don't see many reactors do that one for some reason.

My personal favorite from the "Dreamboat Annie" Album. And for me, coming in at second is "Sing Child".

I would recommend some more of their early stuff that really shows off their vocals and creativity... Dreamboat Annie, Love Alive & Cry to Me

I remember when this album came out. The critics liked Ann and Nancy Wilson, but they described the guitar players as "Led Zeppelin rejects". I laughed so hard I fell off my chair!

Their first big hit.
