Heart - Alone (Brigade Tour Live 1990)

Amazin song from Heart. Ann and Nancy, we love you!
The song was given to Heart and released as the first single from their ninth studio album Bad Animals. Heart's version is a power ballad which begins with a piano line and a subdued vocal from Ann Wilson, only to build to a dramatic love song. "Alone" is Heart's biggest hit, spending three weeks at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and ranking number 2 on the Billboard Year-End Top Pop Singles of 1987. It is also their most successful single in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. Paula Abdul was choreographer for the videoclip.

[@3YearsApart1613]

In my opinion, Ann is the best female rock vocalist of all time.

[@jvidalw]

exactly

[@DebbieFan70]

Brian Nunes in my opinion, Pat Benatar is the best. Ann is second.

[@Shifty1940]

Why is it not sold that way to us?

[@TheRin02Kagamine]

Tie between Ann and Stevie Nicks..

[@youtalkinme]

Grace slick

[@brians8794]

No one and I mean NO one can match Ann's voice.

[@geofreyr]

Have you heard Jill Gioia's rendition from that TV series Rock Star? It's as good (and to be honest I prefer Jill's voice).

[@danielengel1295]

Every time i listen to these Ladies it takes me back to when life was good and everything was an adventure. Unlike today

[@donlowe2369]

One of my favorite songs I'm 82 yes old so this was my kind of music.

[@user-wq5zb5nc7i]

Nancy has such a pretty voice, it goes well with Ann’s voice

[@VJAllison1974]

The raw power of Ann's voice is phenomenal. She is one of the top vocalists of all time. Such a beautiful voice... And Nancy is my favorite female guitarist of all time. She kicks butt!!

[@lomarsweed6604]

Ann is a force of nature!

[@DeTAYL.]

💯💯💯!!!!

[@renierlombard5758]

When the live version sounds as good and even better than the recording - those were the days, my friends...

[@texasmade9090]

Ann always sounds better live !!! 💪❤️🐐

[@douglassmith455]

Nothing to do with the time frame..... It's simply the Ann Wilson factor!

[@jonathanong4538]

Yeah, unlike that fake Roxette singer who never gives justice to her classics

[@LisaLisa-2023]

LIVE!! WOW. Ann Wilson sounded so phenomenal I thought it was the studio version. So many have tried to sing ALONE and while they are good, there is only ONE GREAT. 🤩😍👍

[@54beulahmae]

Every artist in the world could re-do this song and it would NEVER compare to the original--Ann's voice is just perfect!

[@SaintD382]

Bear in mind that the original was by i-Ten; Heart (and other bands) covered this song. But they did the best version of all time for sure.

[@PeterPan-gq7lh]

Ann Wilson an Icon, with a voice that has remained relatively unchanged for 40+ years, now That's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame material, tbh😊❤

[@robbernath]

Respectfully disagree with the "relatively unchanged" assessment - most of her upper register range is gone now, which is to be expected in her early 70s (age 73 in 2024). She can still sing pretty well in lower keys, though.

[@emilyfisher4640]

Best female vocalist ever❤

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

Nancy Wilson never got the credit for her singing talent in my opinion. Her backing vocals on this song showcase her amazing vocal talent and range. Without her singing, there is no Heart.

[@jonpaul6948]

She's also a stone cold fox, so there's that.

[@SJ-ty5rw]

She's a great singer .. in her own right . The problem is Ann is so freakishly amazing ! that it gets overshadowed . But i don't think she minds as she seemed happy with backups , and loved playing guitar as much as singing .

[@waltermameli2026]

Your words ring very true.....and their beat goes on.....

[@Grimeyhoob]

Nancy has got a lot of credit. The Nancy fronted songs like “These dreams” and “There’s the girl” topped the charts in the 80s. And then there’s her guitar playing. The dual vocals between Nancy and Ann inspired tonnes of bands after. For instance Alice in Chains have repeatedly paid respect to Heart.

[@waltertarantino9995]

I disagree Ann is heart. Without her magnificent range there would be no heart.

[@billkop3717]

One of the best female voices in Rock!

[@davidtaylor328]

Ann's voice is like a fine wine, it just gets better with age. I saw them in Cleavland with Journey and Cheap Trick two years ago. I think Heart owned that show!

The Wilson sisters are the best female rock band in this planet. Great performance indeed

[@Waiyanminhtetnaing]

Harmony in this song is on another level🥺

[@bigmez83]

Every time she explodes with that "till now" i fall on my knees, overloaded by that power. And if Ann is the queen Nancy has to be at least the princess, her backing vocals are sweet as honey, i think that she can outclass, easily, a good 60/70% of other lead singers on the planet. That's how good they are

[@Vancat2]

This song showcases Ann's incredible gift.

[@charlycolis9811]

Heart ❤️❤️❤️ I fell instantly in love with em when I first listened to their amazing album Bad Animals back in 1987.. since then many artists and albums went by - but my love for Heart still remains!!!!

[@sandymoore7845]

Nancy is a great singer but Anne's voice is just more amazing hitting those high notes,like no other female in history !!!

[@robertchutonogbanua2564]

Now that is the way "Alone" was meant to be played: synthesizers, guitars, drums, Nancy Wilson's high harmonies, and Ann Wilson's soaring vocals!

[@warlock____]

agreed!

[@theheaterguyryan5052]

This is not just the queen of power ballads but the king of power ballads 🤟

[@sweetnothing1977]

What a masterful little solo by Howard Leese !

Doesn't get any awesomer than this. Forget those billboards. Ann Wilson is the most amazing female singer of my generation.

[@alexthunder4694]

Jason Weber uaoooo great u could enjoy heart at that moment. I was only 4 in 1987, but i remember a bit when my siblings listened that song at the radio. So, which were the best songs in usa that year for u jason??

She's like the rock version of Mariah or Whitney... Best vocals in female rock music ! Plus she can also do blues, ballads, pop... She's fabulous . So is Nancy- plays a dozen instruments

[@toriboy25]

+Roma Maffia Fanpage Whitney YES! Mariah live? I donno cause I dont follow her. For me...Live for Country it is Natalie Maines..for Pop/R&B Whitney. For Rock Ann is the best for me with Melissa 2nd

[@jjh2456]

[@sarahberkner]

P!nk is also super talented and has more of a rock voice even though she sings pop

[@masonbooth2363]

Female version of Robert Plant..no one compares or can copy her..

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Both Ann and Nancy were amazing!!!

[@stevem842]

Ann Wilson doesn't need to lip synch or use autotune. That's vocal power

[@larrycrabs5995]

She's a powerful singer!

[@brianbritez6618]

.

[@pkim07]

It's like many singers nowadays relying on mic echoes, remixing and other tricks and then you have Wilson, whose range is like 44-inch vertical in basketball.

[@kanaric]

omg i haven't seen this comment in literally the last video, boomers need to be put in camps

[@robertchutonogbanua2564]

I agree. None of today's female vocalists (with the exception of maybe Adele) can come close to Ann Wilson's powerful voice.

[@aquablue1252]

The best version of this song hands down, NOBODY can top these two singing this! their voices are incredible, both are powerful, and Nancy with those incredible backing vocals!!!

[@Lrh90]

Saw Heart open for Def Leppard last night at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. After hearing Ann sing, all I can say is...I would do her in a second. She just exuded this confidence and sheer power the entire time she was on stage...and this is coming from a 21 year old who was never around back in the day!

[@ny10980]

Ann is the best female rock singer there has ever been...lets wake up Hall of Fame...!!!

[@29september67]

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! Ann Wilson's vocals blow me away each time she belts this song. She can sing me lullabies each night while I am cuddled up in her arms for all its worth.

[@TuXedoJunXion]

Ann singing ALONE is always friggin' awesome. She owns this song. So powerful and still so soft.

[@wagu7003]

She's even better when she sings WITH Nancy. 😊

The fact that she's doing this live... very few rock vocalists, male or female, can pound out notes like this with this sort of feeling in a *live performance.

[@amtrak207]

What a voice Ann has. Certain singers just have that unmistakable voice such as Steve Perry, Peter Cetera, and naturally Ann Wilson. Looking forward to seeing them live.

I saw them in December 1987 at the Hampton Coliseum in VA. Mr. Mister opened. They put on an excellent show. I was going to see them in February 1986 at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia, SC, but the sudden death of my uncle prevented that. But, that's life. RIP Uncle J.
