What Makes This Singer Great? Ann Wilson – Heart

Ann Wilson is surely one of the most influential female rock vocalists of all time and today I’ll be sharing with you what I think makes her great.

Fronting the band Heart, her career was defined over two eras and Ann’s smooth vocals delivered a range of great tunes that remain timeless.

Growing up Wilson had a rather shy personality which was partially due to the fact that she used to stutter. Aside from that, Wilson had a problem with being overweight and she was often bullied about it, which didn’t help the way she felt about herself.

In order to deal with her low self-esteem, she took up singing, first performing in bars in Seattle where she managed to find fulfillment in performing onstage.

As she overcame her personal challenges, Ann’s career blossomed and she developed into the talented singer and songwriter that we all know.

I’ll be taking a look at a performance featuring a cool, acoustic rendition of “Alone”. I hope you all enjoy the video and make sure to share your comments on what you thought made Ann great!
