Lyrics
Quite some time, I been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances
I was a pris'ner of doubt.
I knocked down the wailin' wall
Ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune; deal me in
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind.
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you.
Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through
with you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you again and again,again
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you
ooo ooo yeah on you
comin' straight on for you.
You made my mind
now im stronger now im comin' through
straight on,straight on for you
straight on,straight on,straight on for you
straight on for you
ooo ooo you made my mind
now im stronger now im comin through
ooo straight on straight ohwn for you
straight on straight on im straight on for you
straight on for you
uh ooo,uh ooo,oo ooo x3

[@shellyortiz1977]

It sucks they don't make music like this anymore...heart best ever

[@user-vp9ox8ny9m]

Anne Wilson...THE best female rock vocalist of all time. Category closed....and SEXY!

[@user-zb2hi8ct9q]

In what a wonderful voice Ann was singing！ No woman can take the place of her.

[@iCHAWY]

She can sing her ass off. Amazing voice.

[@reggaefan2700]

iCHAWY And some fool tried to say that her sister has a better voice than her. Ann has one of the greatest voices ever.

[@Haylie2610]

Hahaha!! I thank you for watching, being grateful and enjoying great music! It's for fellow heartmongers that I uploaded this. Have a nice day :)

[@dude0072]

I love the way Ann looks at Nancy when she's singing the chorus, she's totally jamming!!! love her

[@raechelyndawn2580]

One of my favorite classic rock bands!!! My sister and I idolized these two gifted musicians. I miss my sister...she passed away six years ago. This band always reminds me of her.😞 RIP Robin.

[@antoniojesussegadoherrera7795]

Mi amor platónico veo este video hoy a mis56 ella74 y tengo una nostalgia k me ha e casi ñlorar

[@iCyclone]

Very cool. This is a difficult song to sing live technically-- with all those fast, high-pitched, bird-like little flourishes in the melodic line-- and she sounds awesome. She's the real thing.

[@partiprocanada]

If only today's artists could sound this good live

[@hippiechick1264]

Ann Wilson the BEST female rock'n roll vocalist of all time and Nancy Wilson awesome female guitarist of all time .. HEART is simply the BEST !!! Thanks for sharing !

[@coult45usmc]

I can't believe this is live, they fucking nailed it, especially Ann.

[@sharonburry8928]

EVERYTHING WAS LIVE in those days...even studio recordings didnt have the level of processing they do today...musicians and singers survived and thrived because of PURE RAW TALENT ....none of this manufactured auto tune SHIT!!!!

[@justinharshbarger1393]

I've loved this band for the last 16 years... I'm only 22

[@kimberlyo796]

Well done lad! This is REAL music. There are very few of this generation that can do anything even close to these two ladies. The only one with any credibility, that comes to mind is P!nk. That girl can sing, she writes most of her own stuff, and she can wail on some Janice Joplin tunes so she's alright in my book. Been loving the Wilson sisters for 40 years!

[@Damian-cp2fi]

Are 2 man

[@TheGentleman2007]

They are Hall of Famers in my mind. They were the first successful female band, where one sister is the lead singer and the other rocks it with a guitar. Greatness seen in this video!!!

[@madaboutpix]

Heart rocks, no other band could capture their sound. Ann Wilson is a vocal Goddess!!

[@rimetime6423]

Ann might be the best live female singer ever, wow - the lady was and is truly gifted. Her vocals are perfect

[@andydanko7074]

Every footage of heart live I've seen (lots) is flawless !!!

[@johannesbols57]

Saw them December 30th 1978 and August 7th 1980. Brilliant.

[@tommyslim]

Ann Wilson. Beautiful then, Beautiful now.

[@blueguitarblue]

Makes me proud to be a Seattle Native. Ann and Nancy know how to rock! And they're pretty too! And they never sold out and moved to hideous figuratively and literally LA.

[@simflyr1957]

Played this over and over... saw them in San Diego summer of '78

[@lightsone2]

I've been in love with Ann Wilson since '76. And she sings like NO ONE else. Makes me shiver. And yes, Ann, you are eye candy.

[@darinkelley116]

Best female rock singer ever !!

[@doowaditti]

This tune is in my top 3 all time FAVORITES....second thought...#one

[@willardsomers3551]

no lady has ever sounded better than Ann wilson

[@kuprebou57]

Linda Ronstadt

[@billrandolph1404]

nope

[@keithdolan3149]

Awesome voice! If only i wasn't a toddler back then and could've saw them live!

[@AbbaLeStrange]

lol no.

[@billylikessodaaa]

AMEN!

[@GBeret83]

Saw these gals live in Fayettville, NC back in 1983 when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC. It was during their period of spandex and big hair, and Eddie Money was their opening act on that particular tour. But even with the big hair, the skin tight close, and the thick makeup, these chicks rocked their asses off!!! Love Heart!!

[@dbaarty]

Where has all the good music gone? This is good stuff....

[@mjpitche]

Man, they had it all back then, the hot looks, great voices, and great music!!!

[@surajrajkumar8710]

am 27 years old n i wanna marry Ann Wilson i don't care she is 66 yrs old, she is the most beautiful queen of rock !!

[@raechelyndawn2580]

suraj rajkumar awe. So sweet! She's married but nice compliment for her!❤️

[@Giantshredder]

I was -2 yrs old at the time if this video and I would have did her then.

[@meganfaber2854]

Good on you

[@62636263c]

Was fortunate enough to see them and Walter Egon (Magnet and Steel) in concert in 1979 during the height of their Dog and Butterfly album tour. They where unbelievable good. Both of them where so freakin' gorgeous and they rocked the place like it has never been rocked before or since. Ann did Dog and Butterfly perfectly. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you Heart for giving us so many years of your very best. You are legends, now, and forever.

[@minkman1770]

Don’t apologize, at least we have this fantastic song by one of the greatest groups of all time!

[@62636263c]

Back then we where all funky. Most of us in the Pop scene where deeply versed in Motown, and the preceding disco mania. It was a great time to be young and with it. Pop and rock in the early 80s, was heavily influenced by the soulful, funky era of the 70s, and these cats where no exception.

[@redrayman]

i was fortunate enough to see them live in the 70's and early 80 what a band loved them the best show was summerjam in Winnipeg

[@houselady512]

Listen to the words...of course. Heart doesn't need to "sell" anything. The music is universal.

[@kdlaiusa]

The best female singer till the end of time.

[@lennomenno]

Just saw Heart last night in concert. Guess what ?... 35 years later...and... THEY STILL GOT IT !

[@vincentbondietti6931]

The Queens of rock....wish i had been there for this concert

[@eliasrebollosa5481]

This is when music was music...

[@ineshornadiaz1312]

super brilliant song!!! one of greatest songs of these beautiful ladies: An & Nancy Wilson

[@themac62]

These ladies were and are still sooo legit...they have the very rare ability to be bad ass rock singers and still make a man think of them as real ladies...that's a lost art. Ann, is by far the greatest rock female vocalist of all time....

[@boyndhood70]

Rock on Heart!!!! thanks for the song

[@jackelias405]

Amazing how Ann Wilson could sing a song -- in that petformance at least -- with such perfection. It's like a young woman that's so good looking that nothing she can do with her face looks anything but cute. Every sound from Ann Wilson in that performace is perfectly executed, beautiful to hear and as flawless as any studio recording.

[@inkysalad]

love it, loved it in the day and still do. Playing it in my band , im a female vocalist. And yes they and Rush should both be in the Rock in Roll hall of Shame!! (Shame on them for not putting these two bands in yet!!)

[@davidc3757]

This was really the first I have ever seen this video she sounded great on the album and 8 track in the 70's but really showed her voice in the 80's and present she'll ann too always be a part of me. I loved her voice.

[@jettablak]

Ann sings like an angel.

[@psychodelicrock12]

This entire concert needs to be officially released on DVD BLU RAY.

[@pancakepierce]

Top ladies of rock and roll history , today ,and future .Going to be hard to beat.

[@l.marcellinamartinez5269]

Nancy and Ann's Harmony is superb!!

[@betofogo17]

classic line-up with all their hurdles and good music... Love this time, was 14 and going surfing all day long!

[@sisterearthful]

I remember this song every time I was running home. I've always loved Heart because they are so stunning, talented and, most of all, Ann's voice. I use to zone out listening to her. I'm always impressed when I see beautiful Nancy play the guitar. Let this spell last forever...Oooo yeah

[@sisterearthful]

This is another awesome song. with Ann and Nancy singing. I love the way they sing, and Nancy singing. Two beautiful super rock ladies.

[@TracyTodd2199]

+sadie garcia Awesome in concert.

[@sisterearthful]

+Tracy Todden That is like so cool to hear that you saw them in concert a week ago! I have been trying to see them, but some thing comes up and blocks me? Sorry for the delay but, I had to be away for two weeks, so I borrowed my son's mobile. I tried to watch, listen and reply, but the screen was too tiny! When he use to come and see me, I told him that I didn't need it any more. lol Now I'm back and I'm trying to catch up with my notifications.

[@RedFlyingMongoose]

Why don't the guys who play guitar in Heart ever get any recognition? They rock. Great song. AWESOME vocals!

[@mattjean2652]

There was a big break up controversy amongst them. Inner turmoil. Had huge effect on all members. And sometimes when those things happen, names get lost in time. Ex-members never find their way back to the mainstream. So many great musicians have fallen through the cracks because of break ups. Time keeps marching on. The next big thing comes along and just like that... you're forgotten. Kinda a harsh reality.

[@robjones8733]

@@mattjean2652 truth....notice how Fleetwood Mac kept going back to Lindsey Buckingham though. I guess they are done for good now that Christine is gone. Bob Welch was good too. I don't know any details about why Bob left FMac. hmmm...

[@boarhog1979]

This concert would be my all time favourite at the front. Ann';s singing is perfect along with the music as well

[@gastonzapata4798]

Do you have any idea if this concert is complete somewhere? :(

[@somersetcace1]

Heart in their prime. It's like a joyful memory that pops into your head without warning.

[@deelovesdis]

MY FAV HEART SONG!! THESE CHICKS ROCK!

[@OntoitinThere]

Not only are these sisters amazingly talented, but their fashion sense is ahead of OUR time!

[@skylilly1]

This is exactly what I love about You Tube..to watch videos like this gem...wow, I'm in heaven...awesome...

[@iggyover]

that's all you need.A little 70's everything and all is good.God ....send these gals to me.

[@turk5832]

Good Lord, what a force! Every guys dreams and fantasy! Greatest vocals period!

[@doowaditti]

One of my top 3 R&R tunes of ALL TIME...don't know what the other two are.

[@Lisah8687]

Great video! One of the BEST rock and roll vocalist of all time....love Nancy as well!

[@bassplayeroceanside]

Look at that sassyness. And warranted sass too, because Ann can belt it out. What a great decade for rock music!

[@dchenkin02]

I've seen Heart twice in recent years, to young to have seen them in the 70s; wish the 70s era band would reunite.

[@johnnylr23]

DAMN.....the power of this Goddess's voice...

[@edwardwb1001]

Ann and Nancy...yummee!! But seriously, they were (and still are) a completely awesome band! I didn't know they weren't in the R&R hall of fame! How is that possible!!?? Was Barracuda not a big enough hit? Was Ann's voice not quite good enough and Nancy's guitar playing not up to scratch? Madonna in the Hall of Fame? Please!! I was 14 when Barracuda came out, and couldn't believe what I was hearing!! Still one of the best songs ever, and Straight On is just brilliant!

[@halc.2899]

At 1:14 "Oh that's right" ....what a perfect insertion. Three words but they send me to the moon!

[@sonnygoose]

I saw them 7 times live when I was a teenager in Seattle WA - they were incredible - putting it mildly!

[@ram4ufirst]

LOve it! I was in high school...brings back memories! Heart is awesome!

[@GENE1195]

Anne is and always will be a class act

[@laycho8226]

i was born this year and i love ann wilson..the queen of rock..

[@jeremyashton5040]

It’s too bad that this original line up of Heart fell apart not long after this show. Roger, Michael & Steven are soooo good with Leese & the Wilson Sisters. This is the true magic chemistry that brought Heart to the world.

[@lawrencemedina7400]

I love this song.

[@GBeret83]

I saw Heart live in 1984 in Fayettville, NC when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg and from go to woe these ladies rocked their asses off that night!! Happy to say that Heart is one of the inductees into the 2013 class of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, and it's much deserved. Back in the early 70's women were either dolled up disco divas or singer/songwriters, I.E., Carol King, Joni Mitchell, etc.. But Ann & Nancy Wilson kicked open a lot doors for women in rock that previously weren't open to women.

[@rodolforossi8900]

Hacía muchos años que buscaba este video. Tengo 50 años y este tema musical es de la época de mi escuela secundaria. GRACIAS... THANK YOU!!! por regalarnos este gran momento. Ann Wilson y Nancy Lamoureux Wilson ¡Grandes! Qué estilo y qué grandes voces.

[@davidfounds7026]

Wow, Ann blows me away with her voice, what an awesome vocalist. She's so hot too. Brunettes are my fave and her beautiful eyes are a stunning luminescent brown. If you look at them from a few glamor shots of her you can see what I mean. I truly love her. Nancy is a very lovely and talented woman also. Christ certainly gifted my girls. We are proud of you'll Ann and Nancy. The guys used to bust my chops for listening to a 'girly band' as they called Heart back when they came out, but I ignored them because I foresaw that these two 'foxy' young ladies were going to be historic in the music business, and that's exactly what has happened. Keep rocking girls, we love you.

[@dicko195]

i saw them at the Yale Bowl in New Haven CT maybe 1980? was so long ago i was right up to the stage in Anns feet, was the best!

[@dreghead]

The new Heartbreaker tour is awesome. A must for Led Zeppelin fans. Saw it the other night, and the girls still got it. One of the best concerts I have ever seen.

[@happyhippie54]

They are just fantastic!! Love this song..thanks for. Sharing

[@Templarswordxx7]

Iconic performance..

[@philmcification]

Anne always brings it

[@gardengremlin]

I was a junior in high school in 1978 and saw them on this tour. Every rock chick wanted to be Nancy Wilson playing guitar.

[@donaldbrooks8269]

Raechel, sorry for your loss, keep the faith, someday you'll be with your sister again. What a day that will be!!!

[@simflyr1957]

This was by far & away my favorite song of '78. I got see them live in San Diego that year... they just don't make music like this any more - there's a story behind it - what a trip!

[@rontodd2074]

WOW..i have been a fan since i heard the first record. These girls had it goin on,looks and talent....what else is there to say?

[@davidposkocil182]

Back when a a band still could sound good live.

[@oscaru5342]

Oh my God, I love this song! Ann Wilson kicks ass!

[@davejwalker92027]

I just wish they had HD video back then.

[@Guitar4blues]

I saw them on the Dog & Butterfly tour....one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

[@yonemitsu1]

Saw them in the 70's in Seattle. Such memories

[@qarsiq]

these sisters can do no wrong in my book, they come with the real. Love ya'll!

[@NoirHammer]

Best live version I've seen on You Tube. Much more accurate in terms of vocals and instrumentation. Thanks.

[@fantastico363]

So underrated. Their songs live on. They are so tight as a band.

[@Alllords]

So talented

[@lorimiller6092]

My girls ! Can't wait to see them again on 7/31! My 6 th time..last time (5) was at the RFK center ..DC..Foo's 20th year anniversary show ..but I broke my leg 1 day before the show ..on crutches..Hell yeah I'm going..this fabulous lady cruised me up from door in a wheel chair then drop you off ,to the the greatest handicapped seats,but it's just not the same ..I had great view of the stage from sitting..and had no tall people in front of me..& I made the rail! ..we gave her a tip for her Sense of Urgency..I already walked in from parking lot.. lol..#crutchessuck

[@danotrazy]

seen them in 1987 and then again in 2014. Amazing both times and still rock out...

[@lyndakidwell8557]

Awesome!!!

[@michaeld2519]

Damn, Ann's voice gives me goosebumps!

[@Shawn666Hellion]

This is awesome

[@danieldmramos]

Ann is the real deal since 70’s until today.

[@eduardorossi2117]

apologies acepted, is a piece of rock history, and two angels.

[@jamminjeff8566]

The Goddess Ann Wilson, a gift to us from the Universe.

[@jamestate9180]

Ain't no f'ing auto-tune in existence back then...just talent.
