Ann Wilson, the powerhouse voice behind the band Heart, is widely regarded as one of rock's greatest female vocalists. Born in 1950 in San Diego and raised in a military family that moved frequently, Ann found stability in music early on. Alongside her younger sister Nancy Wilson, she was inspired by seeing The Beatles perform in '66—a moment both sisters later described as life-changing. Ann began performing in local Seattle bands in the late '60s, developing a commanding vocal style rooted in rock, folk and blues. Nancy joined her a few years later, bringing a distinctive acoustic guitar style that perfectly complemented Ann's voice. Together, they formed the core of Heart, one of the first major rock bands fronted by women in a male-dominated industry. Their breakthrough came with the '75 album Dreamboat Annie, featuring hits like “Magic Man” and “Crazy on You,” both co-written by the sisters. The band's mix of hard rock and acoustic textures set them apart, and Ann's soaring vocals became their signature. Through the late '70s, songs like “Barracuda” showcased a tougher, more aggressive edge.The '80s brought a reinvention. After industry pressures and lineup changes, Heart adopted a more polished, radio-friendly sound, leading to massive hits such as “These Dreams” and “Alone.” Though some critics debated the shift, it brought the band renewed commercial success and global recognition.At the centre of Heart's story, however, has always been the relationship between Ann and Nancy—a bond that has been both creatively powerful and, at times, deeply strained. In their early years, the sisters were inseparable collaborators, writing and performing together with a near-telepathic musical connection. Ann has described Nancy as her “soulmate” in music, noting that they “finish each other's sentences musically.” But like many long-term creative partnerships—especially between siblings—their relationship has gone through periods of tension. Differences in artistic direction became more pronounced over time. A major rupture came in 2016 following a family incident involving Ann's husband and Nancy's children, which led to a temporary estrangement and effectively split the band into separate camps for a period. Even so, the sisters have repeatedly found their way back to each other, reconciling both personally and professionally. Their relationship has been described as elastic—capable of stretching under pressure but rarely breaking completely. Heart's longevity is remarkable. The band has sold more than 35 million records and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Over the decades, Ann has also pursued solo work, including her 2018 album Immortal, and collaborations with artists like Alice in Chains. In more recent years, Ann has continued to evolve creatively. She relocated to Nashville, where she has embraced new musical influences and continued writing and recording. Despite health challenges—including surgery for cancer in 2024—she returned to performing, demonstrating the same resilience that has defined her entire career. Today, Ann Wilson remains an active and vital force in music. Heart has resumed touring, including major runs in 2024–2026, celebrating more than five decades of music. Ann continues to perform both with the band and in solo projects, while also collaborating with younger artists, ensuring her influence carries into new generations. Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Ann Wilson's story is not just her extraordinary voice, but the enduring, complicated bond with her sister Nancy. Through success, conflict, separation and reunion, their relationship has remained the emotional and creative engine of Heart. And as Ann herself has reflected, no matter the challenges, the connection between them has always been strong enough to bring them back together—on stage, where it matters most.
It is a pleasure to welcome author and musician Ben Barbic to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. At 5-years-old, Ben was already recording his voice and never stopped. Music gave him peace, a way out of chaos, and a place to build himself. It became his sanctuary early in life, and it is today. The Reggae and hip-hop artist have released over 100 songs with artists and producers worldwide, building a global catalog over more than a decade. His music is a direct reflection of my inner struggles and the force that drives me forward. It comes from pressure, rebuilding, discipline, and forward motion. This isn't trend music. It's life music—music for forward motion and for people refusing to stay down. Ben Barbic's work has connected him with collaborators across the global reggae, hip-hop, and soul community, including Craigy T (T.O.K.), Dan Konopka (OK Go), Ras Fraser Jr., E.N. Young, and Bobby Hustle, working alongside producers whose credits include artists such as Mariah Carey, Usher, Chris Brown, Vybz Kartel, and Popcaan. He also mixes and masters music from my studio, Where Dreams Sail Studios, in San Jose, California.Recently, Ben released his memoir, Rise & Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain. From wild childhood rides on dirt bikes to nights in jail and the silent heartbreak of watching everything he loved burn to the ground, Ben Barbic has lived a life shaped by trauma, trial, and tenacity. Rise and Climb is his raw, unfiltered memoir of a boy who lost it all—twice—and found purpose through pain. Growing up in the shadow of California redwoods and inside the roar of a motorcycle shop, Ben's early life was defined by adventure and grit. But after losing his home to a wildfire, living in a trailer without running water, and battling panic attacks and loss, Ben turned to the only things that gave him power—music, movement, and resilience.Through cassette tapes, weight benches scorched by fire, and the soul of hip-hop and reggae, Ben began to rebuild. He became a nationally performing recording artist, an endurance athlete, and a proud father, husband, and entrepreneur. Unflinchingly honest, heart-wrenchingly personal, and ultimately triumphant, Rise and Climb is a memoir and self-help book for anyone who has ever faced the fire and wondered if they could survive it. Ben Barbic shares his journey, tools, and motivations to show readers that they can, too.On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Ben Barbic spoke about the stories behind his most-streamed songs, such as “Next Level” and “These Dreams.” Ben also chatted about his memoir, Rise & Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain.

Suas influências musicais foram: Nina Simone, Etta James, Mavis Staples, Sade, Tina Turner Warfield criou um estilo próprio, que pode ser melhor descrito como "soul alternativo com um toque de Rock 'n' Roll". Em 2006, lançou seu álbum de estreia, "Embrace Me", por conta própria. Em 2009, chamou a atenção do inigualável Prince e, por fim, juntou-se ao seu grupo, o "New Power Generation".

Our job is to help them see what they do not see (which is so often how what they are doing affects people other than them).
It's tempting to think that we're protecting their belief in the world and in humanity by shielding them from the horrors of the past, but real hope isn't built on illusions.
If we want them to think critically, to rise above the mistakes of the past, we have to stop shielding them from it.
Being a parent opens you up. It turns on a special sensitivity, an acuteness that allows you to see and hear and notice things your younger, less experienced self might have glossed right over.
In the newest Jagbags, we talk the music of both Heart and Pat Benatar. "Barracuda" won the Facebook bracket over "Heartbreaker". Were you happy with the results? Which artist do you prefer and which songs/albums are your favorite? Do you believe they belong in the Rock Hall? We go through our 45-minute playlists, talk favorite albums, and talk about songs we hoped would do well in the bracket. (Beave: "Promises In The Dark" should have won) JAGBAGS!

It is an honor and privilege to welcome singer-songwriter and performer Liv Warfield to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. A former track star and gymnast, Peoria, Illinois-born Liv Warfield began building her legend in Portland, Oregon. Despite having no formal background in singing, she gained the respect of local superstars and became an icon in her own right. While she takes cues from musical influences like Nina Simone, Etta James, Mavis Staples, Sade, Tina Turner, and Mary J. Blige, Warfield has carved out a style all her own, which can best be described as “alternative soul with a lil bit of Rock ‘n' Roll.” In 2006, she self-released her debut album, Embrace Me. By 2009, she caught the eye of the one-and-only Prince and ultimately joined his group, the “New Power Generation.” After touring for several years and soaking up as much knowledge as she could from the ultimate music mentor, Warfield made her big splash on the national scene in 2014, first as a featured artist for VH1's “You Oughta Know” campaign and then with the release of her major label debut album “The Unexpected,” which was executive produced by Prince. What followed were show-stopping performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Arsenio Hall Show; a 2014 Soul Train Music Award and nominations for two others; a BET Best New Artist Award nomination; an interview with National Public Radio; and high-profile cosigns from Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, and Nancy Wilson of HEART. That same year, Warfield's performance closing out Essence Fest was hailed as one of the most memorable after-shows at the New Orleans House of Blues. In 2015, the accolades grew, with Warfield and the NPG Hornz being named one of the top 10 bands to see at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. It's no wonder she has left celebrities like Letterman declaring it's time to “cancel show business!” In 2017, Warfield began the next phase of her ascension, collaborating with another of her childhood influences, the aforementioned Nancy Wilson, to create the band Roadcase Royale. Their lead single, “Get Loud,” was featured prominently in the 2017 Women's March, and they released their debut album, First Things First, later that year. If that weren't enough, their remake of HEART's “These Dreams” was featured in Molly's Game, which starred Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, and Kevin Costner. Warfield recently recorded music for the Oscar-nominated HBO documentary Da Bronx. She also tipped her hat into the theater realm to rave reviews playing Madame ZinZanni in the Chicago version of Teatro ZinZanni. This past summer, Liv Warfield auditioned for the NBC talent competition America's Got Talent: Season 19. Liv and her band performed an original song: “Stare,” that received a standing ovation from not only judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell but also a Golden Buzzer from the Got Talent creator. During the AGT: Season 19 Quarterfinals, Liv and the band blew the audience away by performing “The Unexpected,” a song Prince wrote for her. In this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Liv Warfield spoke about the lessons she learned from Prince, her time on AGT, and performing in Teatro ZinZanni.

Wright Thompson grew up in the Mississippi Delta, unaware that his family farm was just 23 miles away from the barn where 14 year old Emmett Till was murdered in 1955. When writing The Barn, Wright had to take a look at the place he had always known as home with fresh eyes and courageously uncover the details of Emmett's tragic story that had been buried for decades. In today's episode, Wright and Ryan continue their conversation about Emmett Till's legacy, the complexity of American history, why it's important to know where you come from, and the responsibility of preserving Emmett's story.

Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Junior were born in the same year. The last known widow of a Civil War veteran lived to see Barack Obama become the first African-American President. Emmett Till would be the same age as Neil Diamond, Martha Stewart, and Bob Dylan in 2024 if he was not brutally tortured and murdered in 1955. Facts like these remind us that history is not as far away as we think it is. Wright Thompson, is a Senior Writer at ESPN and author of The Cost of These Dreams, Pappyland, and most recently, The Barn, which uncovers the real story of Emmett Till's murder in the Mississippi Delta. Wright joins Ryan to talk about the impact of cognitive dissonance, how political rhetoric has shaped racial violence, why history is closer than we think, the rise and fall of the cotton boom, and what it was like for Wright to learn the truth about Emmett Till's story.

Diving into the short stories on Urban Meyer, Neil Armstrong, Thomas Edison, Frances Grayson, and more about the curse of ambition. Check out Wright Thompson's book, The Cost of These Dreams, for more on the dark side of ambition.1:40 - Urban Meyer Why do people persist in their self-destructive behavior, ignoring the blatant fact that what they've been doing for many years hasn't solved their problems? They think that they need to do it even more fervently, or frequently, as if they were doing the right thing but had to try even harder.7:40 - Neil Armstrong“The one regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time and a lot of travel,and I didn't get to spend the time I would have liked with my family as they grew up.”9:05 - Thomas Edison The other thing he said was his superpower was the ability to work more than others on less sleep. He called sleep a waste of time, often working 18-22 hours a day, even putting in a couple days worth of work without a break.12:40 - Frances Grayson“I would rather give my life to something big and worthwhile, than to live longer and do less.”13:40 - Ted Turner“Work, Racing, Family, in that order.”Quote“Your heroes aren't gods, they're just regular people who got good at one thing by neglecting everything." - Jason Pargin -----Website: https://www.chasegreatness.netBook: https://www.chasegreatness.net/bookApparel: https://www.chasegreatness.net/shop
We've made a few jokes in past episodes about Michael McDonald popping up in unexpected places. It's an easy joke to make, because McDonald has a distinctive voice and has worked with a lot of artists covering numerous genres. But the man is talented - both vocally and on the keyboards - and his career has put him at the forefront of rock music for a long time.Sweet Freedom is a compilation album that explores McDonald's work from his first two albums plus a number of collaborations. The album title is taken from the track he had recently completed for the motion picture soundtrack “Running Scared,” a buddy cop comedy starring Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.After a troubled youth, McDonald began his music career in earnest as a vocalist and keyboardist for Steely Dan. After that he was tapped as keyboardist and vocalist for The Doobie Brothers, a position which would eventually lead to his fronting the band and turning it in a more soulful direction. In 1982 he started a solo career which would combine a soft rock style with his signature “blue eyed soul” sensibilities.Lynch is examining this “greatest hits” album with an eye towards some of the collaborations that have involved Michael McDonald, many of which are signature anthems and ballads of the early 80's soulful catalog that will eventually become known as yacht rock.We hope you enjoy this weeks podcast! Sweet FreedomRod Temperton, known for his work with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones, composed this single. It is a bit of a departure from McDonald's typical style with its upbeat melody and horns. It went to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and of course became the title track for this compilation album.Yah Mo B ThereThis song is a collaboration with the late James Ingram which peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. Co-written and produced by Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton, the song was originally a more contemporary Christian song with the title "Yahweh Be There." Ingram suggested the title change, opening up the lyrics to more ambiguity to fit a wider audience.On My OwnA number 1 song from the Billboard charts in the US, this track finds McDonald paired with Patti LaBelle on a breakup duet. Interestingly, the two recorded their tracks completely separately, and did not actually meet until they performed the song together on The Tonight Show in 1986.I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)This song peaked at number 4, and was McDonald's first success as a solo artist. It was a cover originally sung by Chuck Jackson in 1962. McDonald's version features his sister Maureen providing backup vocals, adding familial harmony to the mix. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme to the television game show “Card Sharks”This game show originally ran on NBC from 1978 to 1981, and returned for a second iteration to CBS in 1986. STAFF PICKS:Too Late by AsiaRob leads off the staff picks this week with a track from Asia's third album, “Astra.” John Wetton returned to the group after a brief separation in late 1983 when he was replaced by Greg Lake for tour dates. Steve Howe is replaced by Mandy Meyer for this third Asia album.Goodbye by Night RangerBruce brings us the last top 40 hit (to date) by Night Ranger. Drummer Kelly Keagy takes lead vocals on this Brian Blades-composed power ballad written after losing his brother to a drug overdose. “It's hard living life on this memory go-round.”Walk Like An Egyptian by The BanglesWayne's staff pick is the best known song by the group. Songwriter Liam Sternberg took inspiration for this song from a rough trip across the English Channel, when his fellow passengers were walking carefully with their arms outstretched due to the choppy waters. It would become a number 1 single, and Billboard's number 1 song in 1987.These Dreams by HeartLynch closes out the staff picks with as song that emerged from a collaboration between Bernie Taupin and Martin Page. Taupin originally envisioned it as a song for Stevie Nicks, but after she turned it down, the song was restructured for Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Nancy Wilson takes lead on this song dedicated to her friend Sharon Hess, who had lost her battle with leukemia. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Shade Gate by HawkwindThis instrumental appears on Hawkwind's fourteeneth studio album, which was inspired by the works of fantasy novelist Michael Moorcock.

If you were playing competitive golf at my age, you knew who Rachel Heck was. She made it look easy- always has. Despite wrestling mind, body, and soul the last few years, she came back a few weeks ago ready to play. Her freshman season accolades alone fill up a page, and her appearances for professional and team events only brightened the lights. We forget that the people playing at the highest level have to make a choice – is this… it? Is this what I am going to dedicate my life to? Wright Thompson was a memorable guest on The Tie. Wright authored: “The Cost of These Dreams” - a book with a self explanatory title and some cold hard truth on sacrifice. Sometimes there are people who can recognize a trade from good to great before anyone else does. When I think of Rachel's story I think letting go of pro golf is “the cost of these dreams”. She's got a goal - golf is part of it, but only a part. Rachel will be right at home in the discomfort that awaits her after graduation. After all, she has chosen to put herself in the uncomfortable, pressurized environments time after time throughout her life. How her relationship with the game evolves will be a fun journey. No doubt, we will be seeing more darts and bombs from her on the amateur side. We hope you all enjoy today's episode! Thanks for the support as always!

The post These Dreams appeared first on Faith Church.
Wright Thompson's The Cost of These Dreams was Joe's pick, but Julie loved it too.
In this episode I embark on a musical journey back to the late 1980s when a song had the power to touch our hearts, stir our spirits, and inspire our dreams. Join me as I delve deep into the enchanting melody and lyrics of "These Dreams" by Heart. From the moment the first notes of "These Dreams" filled the airwaves, it was clear that this song was something truly special. The hauntingly beautiful voice and music pulled me in it struck a chord deep within. When reflecting on my early teenage years I share a personal connection to the song that continues to resonate through the decades. As the years passed, it became evident that "These Dreams" was more than just a tune; it was an anthem for introverts and dreamers, like myself. The song encapsulated the power of dreams, the essence of hope, and the inspiration that can drive us forward. It serves as a comforting reminder that it's okay to be introspective, to dream, and to find strength in quiet moments. In this episode, I try to unpack the layers of meaning within the lyrics, exploring how "These Dreams" has been a constant source of encouragement and lifting my spirits. The song's timeless message still holds the power to ignite a sense of purpose, especially when the world becomes overwhelming. My hope is that, through this discussion, you too will come to love and appreciate "These Dreams" as much as I do. Let it become part of your soundtrack to your moments of reflection, inspiration, and determination. If you find yourself in need of a lift to keep pursuing your dreams, this episode is the dose of motivation and inspiration you've been waiting for.

”Glory be to all “OwlHeads” - we gather here today to continue our investigations of “Pagey's” songwriting career. We start the show with a demo I wrote with Billy Burnette who had just joined Fleetwood Mac in the 90s… this very rare demo was aimed squarely at the Fleetwood Mac aesthetic; California here we come! I'll spin an early demo I wrote with Bernie Taupin around the time I wrote “We Built This City” and “These Dreams” with him. Although it's a technically-challenged vintage home recording, I love this obscure Taupin/Page track. It definitely has a Tears For Fears thing about it… I was writing songs around the Michael Jackson “Thriller” period, when ghouls and ghosts and zombies were all the rage (when were Zombies NOT the rage ???). I'll spin a demo Melissa Manchester recorded that I penned with Jon Lind called “Night Creatures”, on which I display my “Ghostbusters “

PART ONE:Paul and Scott reflect on returning to large-scale concerts, and talk about their recent experiences seeing Paul McCartney and Pearl Jam.PART TWO: Our in-depth conversation with Ann WilsonABOUT ANN WILSON:Four-time Grammy nominee and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ann Wilson is best known as the lead singer and co-songwriter for the band Heart, which she and her sister Nancy formed in 1973 and propelled to rock superstardom. One of the pioneering female-fronted rock bands, Heart's self-penned classics include “Crazy On You,” “Magic Man,” “Dreamboat Annie,” “Barracuda,” “Little Queen,” “Heartless,” “Straight On,” “Dog & Butterfly,” and “Even It Up.” In the mid-1980s they reinvented themselves as mainstream radio hitmakers with a string of successful singles, including “What About Love,” “Never,” “These Dreams,” “Nothin' at All,” “Alone,” “Who Will You Run To,” “There's the Girl,” “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You,” and “Stranded.” As Heart, Ann and Nancy Wilson have sold more than 35 million albums worldwide. Since 2007, Ann has released three full-length studio albums and two EPs. Her most recent, Fierce Bliss, which was released at the end of April, is her first solo album to include original material.
In this episode, host Ken Womack and powerhouse rocker Ann Wilson go deep into Beatles songs and their influence on her own work, the high school politics of fandom, and what the Beatles taught her about gender as a young rocker. Wilson rose to fame alongside her younger sister, guitarist Nancy Wilson, as lead vocalist in the rock band Heart, the first hard rock group fronted by women. In their heyday, Heart released numerous albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including "Dreamboat Annie" and "Little Queen," and "Dog and Butterfly," which generated hit singles such as "Magic Man," "Crazy on You," "Barracuda," “Straight On” and “Dog and Butterfly.” The band later enjoyed commercial success with a trio of albums, including the self-titled "Heart," "Bad Animals" and "Brigade," along with a raft of hits such as “What about Love,” “Never,” “These Dreams,” “Nothin' At All,” “Who Will You Run To,” “Alone,” and “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You.” To date, Heart has sold over 35 million records. Over the years, Wilson has earned her place as one of rock's most vaunted singers. Known for her operatic abilities and banshee screams, she was ranked no. 78 in Hit Parader's 2006 list of Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists of All Time. And in 2013, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Heart. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everythingfabfour/support

This one is for all the 1980s rock fans out there. In 1985, the music group Heart was choosing songs to record for its 8th studio album, which was to be named simply, “Heart.” The group normally recorded songs they had written themselves, but they had been presented with a new song written by Martin Page and Bernie Taupin. Page was a singer-songwriter, who had co-written some notable tunes such as Starship's anthem, “We Built This City.” Taupin was Elton John's frequent writing partner. Page and Taupin had written a new tune called “These Dreams,” which had been offered to Stevie Nicks, who turned it down. It found its way to Heart, who agreed to use it for their next album. When Nancy Wilson went into the studio to record lead vocals for the song, she had a cold that day. This made her vocals sound raspy. The song went on to great commercial success. Later on, producers wanted her to recreate the same vocal style, jokingly asking her if she could just get sick again.
