Ann Dustin Wilson (born June 19 , 1950 in San Diego, California ) is the lead singer and flute player of Heart . Wilson's family moved around as a child because her father was a Marine Corps colonel, and family eventually settled in Seattle, Washington . Wilson turned to music due to shyness caused by a stutter, and in the early 1970's she joined a local band, Heart. Her younger sister Nancy joined the group in 1974 . Their first album '' Dreamboat Annie '' was released in the United States in 1976. In 1977, '' Little Queen '' was released. Wilson started a recording studio, ''Bad Animals'', with her sister in the mid-90's. She formed a side band, The Lovemongers , which performed ''Battle of Evermore'' on the soundtrack to brother-in-law Cameron Crowe 's 1992 movie '' Singles '' and later released a four-song EP. The band's debut album ''Whirlygig'' was released in 1997. Ann adopted daughter, Marie, in 1991 and her son, Dustin, was adopted in 1998. She underwent a weight-loss surgery called Adjustable Gastric Band in January 2002 after what she calls "a lifelong battle" with her weight. In June 2004, Heart released ''Jupiter's Darling,'' which is a popular favorite among classic rock stations. EXTERNAL LINKS |
