Who was Heart's "Magic Man?"

[@simonbarber2297]

Cool episode! Yes, Canada did a love affair with the Wilson Sisters in the mid-70's, and three of their albums, Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen & Dog and Butterfly (lol no, not Magazine) are still often spun in this house. Thanks to the success of Heart's first few records, more women picked up guitars, bass guitars and drums and in turn found their own voices. I remember seeing Heart three X's alone between 1978 - 79. Such wonderful memories of a 16 year old rocker-kid. Their beautiful melodies with words depicting both themes of romantic whimsey and especially scorned love, set them on the map. Such passion - lol such swagger. I am so glad Annie ignored her Mom's advice. lol

I’ve recently re-fallen in love with magic man because I just started playing with a band that covers the song. Learning Roger’s solo parts has been a great challenge, but I’m loving it. I saw an interview with Howard Stern and the Wilson sisters performing in his studio and they mentioned that the magic man was a draft dodger. But the whole time I was watching that interview I didn’t realize they were referring to Roger the Guitarist. Appreciate your video and filling in the rest of the picture for me. And by the way, you’ve got a great voice! I’m a subscriber now and I clicked LIKE 3x!

pretty sure the song is about Roger's older brother Mike Fisher. Mike dated Ann and Roger later met Nancy.

[@Jeff_H_the_Guitarist]

@ a little further googling and it looks like you’re correct! Anne dated Michael and Nancy dated Roger, Michael’s brother.

@@Jeff_H_the_Guitarist the band's history is interesting for sure. the rhythm section has a band called Heart by Heart. fantastic musicians and seen them live this past Sept. Somar does a really good job singing Ann's parts.

Your videos are absolutely amazingly well done. I love your voice Janda ❤

[@behindthesongpodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@PaulJackson729]

The fact that these sisters at their current age can still do what they do at such a high level is amazing. Awesome video once again, Janda. I have a really good one for a future episode. No Rain by Blind Melon. Shannon Hoon may be one of Rock music's greatest what ifs. While he barely avoided the "27 club" He was still taken away much too soon.

[@behindthesongpodcast]

Thank you! I have it noted.

Fascinating backstory. The lyrics and instrumentation are just flawless. Heart is such a legendary, sensational band. Looking forward to visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a couple of weeks for the first time. Of which Heart is a most worthy inductee.❤

Have a great time! Glad you enjoyed this episode.

Good morning, Janda! A hearty hello from loony California. My wife says hello as well. How I remember buying that album with my old girlfriend. Yikes! Another wonderful job. All these stories are just fantastic to listen to. Most are a stroll down memory lane for us. My wife had to turn down an offer to see Bruce Springsteen in Ireland. Her coworkers husband has covid.So she wanted her to go with her. If we hadn't seen him in San Francisco a few months back. I would have figured out a way to get her on that plane tomorrow. Our passports are expired.... Ooooops! Plus, the doctor she works for would have had a nervous breakdown. My best to you, your husband, and your kitty cat.

[@behindthesongpodcast]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode! Sorry about Springsteen. All best to you!

[@DonJoyce]

Wow...quite the story! Thanks for bringing it to life, Janda!

[@behindthesongpodcast]

Thanks for watching!
