"Love of My Life"?  anybody?


Nary a clue. Prog-soul?


I think that might have been Gina Vanelli, but who knows?


Nice call.

DING DING DING!  (I'll asume that was a typo, unless Gino had a twin sister).

Rod the Mod's nadir?


Not quite, but his decline had begun, and it wasn't a gentle one.

the big dreaded STAR testing is going on, and I'm rushing around from room to room giving teachers bathroom breaks.  I'm here for a few minutes in the computer lab, waiting for my next assignment.  Got the cell phone headphones on, digging Heart "Magic Man."  potential BOS
Best guitar solo by a woman, ever.
It's not one of the boys?
Pure Nancy!
According to the "Worst 50 Guitar Solos of All Time" list:

35.  Magic Man by Heart (Soloist: Roger Fisher. Album: Dreamboat Annie. Year: 1976) — I shouldn't even have to explain this one. God, who on the planet hasn't been subjected to this grating instrumental break? As we all know, the heavy rockin' Wilson sisters influenced a legion of equally- feminine '80s copycats: Bon Jovi, Poison, Motley Crue, etc. ...

I never heard that attributed to Roger Fisher in all the years I lived in Seattle listening to KISW & KZOK deejays talk about the group, who were then 2nd only to Jimi Hendrix in terms of local fame.  Which doesn't exactly prove anything.  Of course the Seattle scene got just a tad more crowded since then, in no small part because of Nancy's husband.

Betcha didn't know that Heart was actually founded in 1963 (hard on the success of the Kingsmen) by the two Fisher brothers (Roger & Mike), and it was over a decade later that first Ann & then Nancy Wilson joined.  And Ann started dating Mike & Nancy started dating Roger.  I saw Nancy perform this solo live at some point when I was in college, but that would have been after Roger Fisher broke up with Nancy & left the group, so that doesn't actually prove anything either.  

I thought AMG would vindicate me but it doesn't attribute the solo either way.  Alas, Geoff, another cherished memory tarnished by the internet.

I don't think some cranky article about the 50 worst guitar solos proves anything, but I was always under the impression that the leads were done by Roger or maybe Howard Leese.  My connections to Heart are pretty ancient (sold a guitar to Leese many years ago, and Fernando Saunders played with them for a while) so who knows?
