Heart has been around since 1973 and are made up of Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Ben Smith, Craig Bartock, Chris Joyner, and Dan Rothchild. Originally the band was called The Army, then they switched the name to White Heart (a reference to a book by Arthur C. Clarke) before shortening it to Heart. It wasn't permanent though because the name changed to Hocus Pocus. The band members all on their own ended up moving to Canada, and restarted Heart there. Their debut album came out in 1976, and became a huge success. Unfortunately some of that success was from the studio suggesting the sisters in the group were sexual partners. It pissed Ann off enough that she wrote this song. They left the label, signed with a different one and released an album, then the old one released a half finished album of theirs only to have to recall it so the band could finish it and release it with their new label. They made it big from those, but started to decline in popularity in the early 80's until they switched their sound a bit in 1985 with their new album. In 1995 when one of the sisters left to focus on family, the band technically took a hiatus, with other projects keeping them busy. Heart came back in 2004 with a new album (their first since 1993), and continued on until 2016. The sisters stopped speaking to each other because of an incident involving their families and have been touring with their own bands, but said that Heart was on hiatus not broken up. Apparently now though they are back together with a tour planned, but only time will tell.
Peace.
