Nancy Lamoureux Wilson (born March 16, 1954) is an American musician. She rose to fame alongside her older sister Ann as guitarist and second vocalist in the rock band Heart.

Raised in Bellevue, Washington, Wilson began playing music as a teenager. During college, she joined her sister who had recently become the singer of Heart. Considered the first hard rock band fronted by women to achieve widespread commercial success,<ref name=rs1977>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Heart released numerous albums throughout the late 1970s and 1980s; the albums Dreamboat Annie (1975) and Little Queen (1977) generated chart singles such as "Magic Man", "Crazy on You", and "Barracuda". The band also had commercial success with their eighth, ninth, and tenth studio albums, Heart, Bad Animals, and Brigade, which were released in 1985, 1987, and 1990 respectively. Heart has sold over 35 million records.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Wilson has been lauded for her guitar playing, noted for blending elements of flamenco and classical guitar styles with hard rock.Template:Sfn In 2016, Gibson ranked Wilson the eighth-greatest female guitarist of all time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She is also an accomplished singer in her own right, being the lead vocalist in the song "These Dreams", which became Heart's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2013, Wilson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Heart.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Early life

Nancy Wilson was born March 16, 1954, in San Francisco, California,<ref name=rs1977/> the third and youngest child of John Wilson (Template:Abbr 2000),Template:Sfn and Lois Mary Wilson (née Dustin; Template:Abbr 2006).Template:Sfn She has two older sisters, Lynn and Ann. Both of Wilson's parents were natives of OregonTemplate:Emdashher father from Corvallis, and her mother from Oregon City.Template:Sfn Her middle name is derived from her grandmother, Beatrice Lamoureux.Template:Sfn Wilson is of French Canadian and Scottish descent.Template:Sfn She was raised in Southern California and Taiwan before the family's U.S. Marine Corps father retired to the Seattle suburb of Bellevue, Washington, where they relocated when Wilson was six years old.Template:Sfn The family lived in a Colonial home in the Lake Hills neighborhood.Template:Sfn

On February 9, 1964, Wilson and her sister Ann saw the Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, a moment they each recalled as being profoundly influential: "The lightning bolt came out of the heavens and struck Ann and me the first time we saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show... There'd been so much anticipation and hype about the Beatles that it was a huge event, like the lunar landing; that was the moment Ann and I heard the call to become rock musicians. I was seven or eight at the time... right away, we started doing air guitar shows in the living room, faking English accents, and studying all the fanzines."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On August 25, 1966, the Beatles performed at the Seattle Center Coliseum, a show which Wilson, her sister Ann, and bandmates attended, another event both recalled as influential in their early lives.Template:Sfn

Ann Wilson attended Sammamish High School in Bellevue, where her father was an English teacher, while Nancy attended the newly-opened Interlake High School.Template:Sfn After graduating in 1972 and prior to joining Heart, Wilson attended Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, for one year, majoring in art and German,Template:Sfn then transferred to Portland State University.Template:Sfn In late 1973, Wilson returned to the Seattle area and attended the University of Washington.Template:Sfn

Early endeavors

Two of the Wilson sisters' friends joined them to form the Wilsons' first music group, the Viewpoints. The Viewpoints were a four-part harmony vocal group. Later that year, Ann purchased her first guitar, a Kent acoustic, with money given to her by her grandmother.Template:Sfn Wilson's parents soon bought Nancy a smaller guitar, but since it would not stay in tune, she began playing Ann's Kent guitar.Template:Sfn The Viewpoints' first public show was a folk festival on Vashon Island in 1967. In Wilson's words, "We didn't get paid, but since there were people sitting in folding chairs, we considered it a professional gig."Template:Sfn The band played at venues such as drive-ins, auto shows, and church socials.Template:Sfn

The Wilsons' public debut as a duo took place on Mother's Day at their church.Template:Sfn Later at a church Youth Day event, the duo performed "The Great Mandala (The Wheel of Life)" by Peter, Paul and Mary, Elvis Presley's "Crying in the Chapel", and The Doors' "When the Music's Over".Template:Sfn The anti-war sentiment, and the irreverence for the venue in some of the lyrics, offended a number of people. By the time they finished, more than half had walked out. Wilson felt some guilt over the event, but "it lit a bonfire under us because we saw for the first time that what we did on stage could have an impact on an audience."Template:Sfn

While still a senior in high school, Ann joined a band whose drummer knew a country songwriter in need of a backing band to play on his demos; Wilson and sister Ann entered a recording studio in Seattle to record the demos.Template:Sfn During the session, the engineer allowed them to record the song "Through Eyes and Glass", which Nancy and Ann had written. The engineer had his own record label, and liked their songs enough that he offered to make up 500 copies "for a few bucks". Nancy and Ann's first single appeared on the B-side of the country track titled "I'm Gonna Drink My Hurt Away". It was credited to Ann Wilson and the Daybreaks, which was not the name of the band, and it omitted Nancy as co-songwriter. Later, the sisters were returned 250 unsold copies of the record.Template:Sfn

1970s

During college, Wilson played solo acoustic shows at student unions, performing covers of Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon songs, as well as occasional originals.Template:Sfn

Wilson's sister Ann was an acquaintance of guitarist Roger Fisher and bass player Steve Fossen (of the local band The Army)Template:Sfn when she answered their advertisement seeking a drummer and a singer. She impressed them with her vocal skills. Within an hour of meeting them, Ann joined the group, which was called Hocus Pocus.Template:Sfn

The group shortly reformed as Heart. Pressed by her sister, Nancy joined the band and relocated to West Vancouver.Template:Sfn Wilson recalls that "some of the guys" in the band were initially resistant to her joining, and insisted she audition by sitting in periodically. She was given the assignment to work up the introduction to the Yes song "Clap" (from The Yes Album). She learned it, and the next night after playing it with the band at a tavern, was officially made a member of the band.Template:Sfn

The band had recorded a demo with Mushroom Records some time before, and producer Mike Flicker remembered them. Flicker saw Nancy as a "diamond in the rough", but was intrigued by the idea of a female rock guitarist.Template:Sfn

Mushroom Records released "Magic Man" as a single before Heart's debut album, Dreamboat Annie, had been completed. The song received airplay in and around Vancouver.Template:Sfn Portrait Records released the band's second official studio album, Little Queen, in May 1977.Template:Sfn The album spawned the track "Barracuda", which reached number 11 on the Billboard charts.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> The band's third official release, Magazine, was released pre-emptively by Mushroom the following year, and contained eight tracks, some of which had been unfinished; the band sought an injunction and Magazine was recalled after 50,000 copies had already been sold.Template:Sfn The dispute over the record lasted nearly two years.<ref name=VH1 />

Wilson and the group traveled to Berkeley, California, where her friend, Sue Ennis, was studying to receive a PhD at the University of California, Berkeley.Template:Sfn Ennis became a writing partner on the group's fourth release, Dog & Butterfly, which they wrote together over the course of a single day.Template:Sfn The album was released in October 1978, selling a million copies within the first month. It remained on the album charts for the better part of a year and went on to become a triple-platinum album. It was the band's fourth million-selling album in a row.Template:Sfn

During their tour to support Dog & Butterfly, Wilson and Fisher, who were a couple at the time, became estranged. After discovering Fisher had cheated on her, Wilson began dating Michael Derosier.<ref name=VH1>Template:Cite episode</ref>Template:Sfn This resulted in tension between the band members, ending with Fisher destroying a guitar onstage and throwing part of it at Wilson in a dressing room.Template:Sfn In October 1979, the group voted to oust Fisher from the band;Template:Sfn this change allowed Wilson the opportunity to play more lead guitar.Template:Sfn

1980s

Heart's fifth album, Bébé le Strange, was released on Valentine's Day 1980.Template:Sfn The band's sixth album, Private Audition, was released in June 1982 and sold only 400,000 copies; it peaked at number 25 on Billboard.<ref name=CHARTS>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After their series of platinum and gold albums, this was considered a flop.Template:Sfn However, Heart continued to do well with concert sales, and had the eighth-highest-grossing tour of the year.Template:Sfn During this time, tensions between Wilson and drummer Derosier had increased after several breakups, and both bassist Fossen and he decided to leave the band.Template:Sfn Over the next year, they were replaced by bassist Mark Andes and drummer Denny Carmassi.Template:Sfn

The lackluster performance of Private Audition led to increased pressure for the band's next album, Passionworks (1983). Drugs became a factor in the band's work during this time. Wilson recalls: "Everything we did in those years had a white sheen of powder over it. There were only a few people on our crew, or band, who resisted. Cocaine was sprinkled over the albums, the videos, and our lives. Cocaine stripped all the humor out of our music. The videos we made were completely without intentional comedy, but were so serious they had an almost comedic feel."Template:Sfn After the release of Passionworks, CBS dropped the band due to lackluster sales.Template:Sfn

The self-titled Heart (1985) became the band's first number-one album. "What About Love" was released as a single ahead of the album; it became a hit, and crossed over into the pop charts. The album remained on the charts for 78 weeks<ref name="Billboard">Template:Cite magazine</ref> and went on to be certified five-times platinum.<ref name=RIAA>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album had five hit singles, including "These Dreams",<ref name="Billboard"/> a single that featured Nancy Wilson on lead vocals.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> "These Dreams" had been submitted to the band after Stevie Nicks had turned it down. Though she had not written it, Wilson loved the song from the start. She had to fight to sing it because some band members thought it "did not sound like a Heart song."Template:Sfn During the taping session, they received a letter from Sharon Hess, a 22-year-old fan who was dying of leukemia. One of her wishes was to meet Nancy and Ann, and she arrived the same day as the recording of Nancy's vocals for "These Dreams". Sharon loved the song and Wilson dedicated it to her in the album notes. Sharon died just a few days after the final mixes were finished.Template:Sfn "These Dreams" became Heart's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> on March 22, 1986.

The album Bad Animals (1987) was preceded by the single "Alone"; it became the band's second number-one hit, and the second-biggest single for the year. This gave them something they had not had with the Heart album: a number-one single before the tour started or the album was released. "We were following on success, not building to it," Wilson recalled.Template:Sfn The Bad Animals tour was to start in May 1987 in Europe, and all the dates were sellouts, including three dates at Wembley Arena.Template:Sfn During the tour, Ann began to have moments of panic and stage fright. Nancy would have to step forward and play an unscheduled guitar solo, or other ploys, to buy time for Ann to compose herself.<ref name=VH1/> Work began on the following album, Brigade, in 1989.Template:Sfn

1990s

Around 1990, Wilson and sister Ann were approached to play a Red Cross benefit for the troops during the Gulf War. The promoter wanted Heart to play, but most of the band had been let go after the Brigade tour. Nancy and Ann coaxed Sue Ennis to join and play for the one-time event, along with another friend, Frank Cox. The band's name, Lovemongers, emerged as a counter to war-mongering sentiment surrounding the Gulf War. Since the band lacked a drummer, Ennis programmed a rhythm track into her keyboard and they brought a cardboard cutout of Ringo Starr on stage as a joke.Template:Sfn The group played a wrap party for Singles (1992)--a film directed by Wilson's husband, Cameron Crowe—with a local Seattle band called Mookie Blaylock (the band was later renamed Pearl Jam).Template:Sfn A four-song EP, which included a live version of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore" and an updated version of the Heart standard "Crazy On You", came out in late 1992.<ref name=AllmusicLovemongers>Template:Citation</ref> A cover of "The Battle of Evermore" also appeared on the original soundtrack for the 1992 film Singles.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In October 1991, Heart released Rock the House Live!, which chronicled songs played on the Brigade tour in 1990. Grunge had taken a firm hold on music by this time, and combined with the lack of big hits the album peaked at only 107 on the Billboard charts.Template:Sfn

The album Desire Walks On was released in November 1993 and peaked on Billboard at No. 48. It was far from a flop – it received gold certification in August 1995 – but also far from the multiplatinum status their string of 1980s albums had been.<ref name=ALLMUSICCHART>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Heart owed Capitol records one more album. Since their Lovemongers shows had received such a positive response, they decided to record an "unplugged" album. They recruited many rock notables to contribute to the record, titled The Road Home. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin served as producer; Layne Staley of Alice in Chains and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden both contributed. The album only reached No. 87 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and the group was dropped by Capitol.Template:Sfn

In 1995, Wilson requested that Heart go on hiatus.Template:Sfn Wilson explained that she wanted to spend more time working with husband Cameron Crowe on film scores and start a family. At the time, Wilson was 41 and undergoing fertility treatments, which were difficult to schedule around a rock tour and appearances.Template:Citation needed

Wilson had played "Beautiful Girl in Car" in Crowe's Fast Times at Ridgemont High, then had a small speaking part in The Wild Life. She also contributed some guitar recordings for Crowe's 1989 film Say Anything... and the original song "All For Love".Template:Sfn Wilson became more involved in Jerry Maguire, Crowe's new film, and decided that she would write the film score.Template:Sfn

During her hiatus from Heart, Wilson was not entirely dormant as a performer; she played the occasional Lovemongers benefit, though she noted that her fertility treatments made performing increasingly difficult.Template:Sfn In 1996, Wilson performed her first solo acoustic show in 30 years. Kelly Curtis arranged to have a recording of that show released as an album, Live from McCabe's Guitar Shop, in 1999. The music on the album is a mix of Heart songs, covers (including songs by Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, and Paul Simon), and original new material.Template:Citation needed In November 1997, Nancy and Ann set out on a 12-date tour traveling by van on what they called the "Don't Blink" tour (joking that, "if you blinked, you missed it.")Template:Sfn

The Lovemongers released a full-length album titled Whirlygig in 1997 and a collection of mostly self-penned Christmas songs titled Here is Christmas in 1998.<ref name=AllmusicLovemongers/> Here is Christmas was re-released as a Heart album with the title Heart Presents a Lovemongers' Christmas in 2001.<ref name=LovemongersChristmasAllmusic>Template:Citation</ref>

For Crowe's 2000 film Almost Famous, Wilson composed the theme and produced two original songs: "Fever Dog" and "Lucky Trumble". She also helped as a technical consultant, coaching the actors on how to look and act like musicians on stage.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Wilson was nominated for a Sierra Award for Best Score, a PFCS Award for Best Original Score,<ref name="awards">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Better source needed and an Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music.<ref name="auto">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

2000s

In 2002, Heart embarked on a tour. The tour became a family affair, with four children and their nannies added to the mix of musicians, technical staff, and roadies.Template:Sfn It was an eight-week tour and ended what had been a 10-year hiatus from touring for Wilson.Template:Sfn The Summer of Love tour concluded in Seattle and that performance was released as the Alive in Seattle DVD, which achieved gold status without an associated album.<ref name=RIAA />

Wilson provided the score for the films Vanilla Sky (2001) and Elizabethtown (2005).<ref name=AnkenyAllmusicHeartBio/><ref name=Craddock2006>Template:Citation</ref> She was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Music for her work in Vanilla Sky as well as a Critics Choice Award for Best Composer for Elizabethtown.<ref name=AnkenyAllmusicHeartBio>Template:Citation</ref>Template:Better source needed

The sisters decided to record a new Heart studio album, Jupiters Darling, the first since 1993. Wilson was co-producer, along with guitarist Craig Bartock, who had just joined the band. They wrote all the songs for the album except one. To enhance the guitar parts, Wilson got friends Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready to contribute.Template:Sfn The album, released by Sovereign Records, charted on the Billboard Top 100, but sold only 100,000 copies.Template:Sfn

In 2009, Wilson released Baby Guitars, a solo album aimed at children, composed of instrumental lullabies written and recorded with Craig Bartock.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On that same year, after completing a tour with Journey and Cheap Trick, Wilson began recording Heart's 14th studio album, Red Velvet Car, with Ann. The album was released in 2010 and included two singles by Nancy: "Hey You", which reached the top 40 on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart; and "Sunflower", which Nancy wrote for Ann's 60th birthday.Template:Sfn The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and three on the Rock Albums chart. With Nancy now aged 56, and Ann about to become a grandmother, the sisters had managed to have albums make it onto top-10 charts in four different decades.<ref name=CHARTS /> The band's subsequent tour sold out and charted on Billboard just behind those of Lady Gaga and Rihanna.Template:Sfn

2010s

After completing an international tour with Def Leppard in 2011,Template:Sfn Heart was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On December 11, 2012, Heart was announced to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2013, along with Rush, Albert King, Randy Newman, Donna Summer, Public Enemy, Quincy Jones, and Lou Adler.<ref name=RNRHOF>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Nancy and Ann also received a star for Heart on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in September 2012.<ref name=walkoffame>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Simultaneously, Wilson began assisting in compiling the band's first boxed set, Strange Euphoria (taken from the name of their music publishing company).Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn

In 2016, Heart released their 16th studio album, titled Beautiful Broken, which features Wilson singing lead vocals on the tracks "Two" and "One Word". At an August 26, 2016, show in Auburn, Washington, Wilson's teenaged sons were reportedly assaulted by Ann's husband, Dean Wetter.<ref name=assault>Template:Cite magazine</ref> After the incident, Ann confirmed that Heart was on an "indefinite" hiatus.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

In late 2016, Wilson formed a band called Roadcase Royale with former Prince band member and R&B singer Liv Warfield, lead guitarist Ryan Waters (the musical director for Liv's solo work and Prince protégé), Heart keyboardist Chris Joyner, bassist Dan Rothchild, and drummer Ben Smith.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> They released their first single, "Get Loud", in January 2017.

Personal life

Wilson dated bandmates Roger Fisher and Michael Derosier during the early years of Heart. In 1981, Wilson's friend Kelly Curtis introduced her to screenwriter Cameron Crowe;<ref>"Episode dated 9 June 1999". Howard Stern. June 9, 1999. E!.</ref> Wilson married him on July 27, 1986.Template:Sfn After numerous failed fertility treatments, Wilson and Crowe conceived via an egg donor and surrogate, and the surrogate gave birth to twin sons in January 2000.Template:Sfn The marriage ended in divorce in 2010, with the couple citing irreconcilable differences.Template:Sfn

In 2011, Wilson began dating Geoff Bywater, who worked in music production on television shows for Fox. They were engaged in 2012 and married on April 28, 2012, in Mill Valley, California.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On the morning of August 27, 2016, Ann Wilson's husband, Dean Wetter, was arrested for physically assaulting Nancy Wilson's 16-year-old twin sons.
