Ann Wilson / Nancy Wilson (p/k/a Heart)

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson formed Heart in 1974, and by 1975 they had recorded their seminal debut album, Dreamboat Annie. 1985’s self-titled Heart album bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, went quintuple-platinum, earning a GRAMMY® Award nomination, followed by more nominations with their albums Bad Animals and Brigade. Separately, Ann has lent her voice to classic motion picture themes and Nancy has built a successful career as a film composer. In recognition of their catalog of self-written material including classic hits like Magic Man, Crazy On You, Dreamboat Annie and Barracuda, they were awarded ASCAP’s prestigious Founders Award in 2009. As the first women to lead a hard rock band, the Wilsons have been an inspiration to succeeding generations of female rockers, and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Key songs in the Wilson catalog include:  *  Barracuda *  Crazy On You *  Dog And Butterfly *  Straight On *  Even It Up

Update January 19th 2023: A&N have not been voted in this time. Billboard: Performing songwriters who were passed over in the voting this year are Bryan Adams, Vince Gill, Patti Smith and Steve Winwood, plus four collectives — Clem Burke/Debbie Harry/Chris Stein (Blondie); Tom Johnston/Michael McDonald/Patrick Simmons (The Doobie Brothers); Ann Wilson/Nancy Wilson (Heart); and Bill Berry/Peter Buck/Mike Mills/Michael Stipe (REM).
