Eighties Resurgence
If Heart would have closed shop in the late Seventies, the Wilson sisters still would have gone down as two of the most respected women ever in rock. But when they released the most accessible album of their careers, 1985's Heart, they also enjoyed their biggest hits by far. Four top ten singles came from the release: "Never," "What About Love?," "Nothin' At All" and the No. 1 smash "These Dreams," which was sung by Nancy.
