Magic Man is a masterpiece. Such a classic, sensual sounding, 70's gem.

I feel like there is not an appreciation for how difficult this song is to do so perfectly on vocals. Ann is a goddess...

The lyrics in this song are so funny to me because it's so relatable to being young. "You don't understand mama, he's a Magic Man!" That's how everyone thinks about the first time they fall in love when you're young. It's the epitome of "Love is Blind" lol.

Ann could sing a peanut butter commercial jingle and I would be enraptured. Hands down one of the best vocalists ever.

I believe you guys would love "Straight on". Funky AF and I totally believe it'd be instant playlist lol

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. When I was a kid in the 70s this song actually scared me. It has a very ominous feel to it and obviously as a young child I had no idea what she was talking about, so I thought it was about some evil wizard or something casting spells on people. Needless to say it made a real impact on me at an early age and I have been drawn to this song ever since.

Magic Man's name is Michael Fisher. He was Ann's boyfriend and the band manager. Ann has talked about the song in a couple different interviews. :)

For no particular reason, I feel like now is a good time to mention that Ann Wilson and Jerry Cantrell teamed up to cover "Black Hole Sun" live in tribute to Chris Cornell, and that might make a good video to react to.

I very much enjoyed their cover of “Stairway to Heaven” at the Kennedy Center honors a few years back. The video is cool; they made the surviving band member cry.

Great honest reaction as always y’all. “Straight On” by Heart is another GREAT song from their late 70’s era. It’s definitely worth a listen.

You missed it dudes, you talked through one of the best bridges and more importantly, this was totally new at the masochist rock time.

We had never heard a female led group do anything like this before it was released. Have a feeling if you guys listen to it some more, it will grow on you

In Washington state we were lucky to see the members of band playing in their own bands and touring the state when Heart wasn't touring. It was amazing the talent all their guitar players had and loved to play.

George understands Anne Wilson lmao. He got EXACTLY what this and Crazy On You were about right off the bat

As a mom who's had teenage daughters, "try to understand he's a magic man mamma - he's got magic hands," would not have reassured me. HAHAHAHA

This song is a slow burn and scorches in the end. Absolute fire.

I wanna show appreciation for the record photo - and how the pair mimic a heart shape. Very clever.

I really feel like this is a song from a mother to a daughter "he' s a magic man" "your dad was too" is basically the vibe

Damn I love Anne's voice. Magic man and crazy on you were written about their guitar player who was with Ann are the time. They moved to Canadian Vancouver (if I'm not mistaken) for him to escape the Viet Nam draft. I believe she was in her late teens when she wrote these songs. Love heart. Glad you came back to them.

Every girl at least "to me" has met that one man that magic man

Barracuda has so much more edge because it's an angry song. It's their response to the way they were treated by the music industry and media. This is still from their romantic less-jaded first album.

Now imagine that it’s 1976. You have some cash and you see Dreamboat Annie for sale in a record store. You take the plunge, buy it and fire it up on your turntable. First track is Magic Man. And it’s buy a band fronted by 2 sisters, and one is the lead guitar player. Heart deserves so much credit forever. And I’m glad you guys appreciate them

1 one of my favorite vocalists. period. Got to hear her sing Alone. and man. that is just a 1 of a kind.

These guys are EXCELLENT at analyzing Heart. You can tell they really understand the essence of music. So impressed with their open-minded reactions. They go well beyond the standard fare. Great chemistry between them. If they don’t already have their own TV show, they should.

I love Heart. Every song is great. Thanks for listening to one of their songs again. I always enjoy them!

You guys should listen to this song a couple more times. I listened to Heart for years before I realized this was their best song imo. It's just constructed so well. Btw, this song has been sampled many times, and many different parts of the song were sampled.

my dad used to play me heart in his old beat up pick up. hell yeah those were the days.

Great band. This song is absolutely smashing. One of my all-time favorites. This tune is smooth as hell :)

Me and my brother saw Heart live back in the day, we made a sign that said “ Dear Ann and Nancy, we would give our left nuts to party with you!”….Nancy saw the sign and laughed, security took our sign about 10 minutes later…..good times.😂🔥👍

For 80s style Heart, review "These Dreams" with Nancy on lead vocals! Yes, she sings very well!

Check out Dog and Butterfly, both the song and the album. One side is soft songs (Butterfly) and the other side is harder (Dog).

Ann Wilson is one of the best singers in the history of Rock. Period!

This was written by Ann Wilson from her own experience with being drawn by a man in the band that became Heart, when they were trying to break in...for her singing ability. They were a little north of the border in Canada at the time.....but it quickly got to the point when Ann wouldn't stay unless they included her little sister Nancy to sing and play backup. They later moved the band to Seattle, where the sisters are from and from where Heart came to be known. This is more of a magical song of romantic seduction.....and that's what it is meant to be. Of course, there's much more to their story than that, but there's your watered down version.

Hahahahahahahha. “Lonely nights so long ago and whiskers on kittens”

Imagine being blessed with a voice like this, good lord!

You guys keep getting better and better at what you do. No other music review folks can compare. Great job.

Sometimes you need to be QUIET and listen to the whole song. Magic Man is a beautiful journey that shouldn't be interrupted over and over again.

The element your looking for in this one is kind of hidden. It’s the way he tuned the two high strings on his guitar. This solo is the sickest from that time, in my opinion.

This was the first song from heart I ever heard in 1976. I was blessed to see them perform this twice. Awesome song awesome band!

She's a teenager in love because he can make her feel things she thought was only fantasy....PEACE!!!!

There's a live version that just blows this one away. Great song.

As a child of the 70's, this is one of my favorite Heart songs. Based on their lyrics "I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child" and "he's got magic hands", I always assumed she was a virgin and he was her first lover and, for her, at least, he had the magic D. In the end, it's all about good D, guys. 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

That synthesiser is called a Moog (or specifically a Minimoog) and it was pretty big in the 1970s but was invented in the 1960s. It was an incredibly futuristic sound that innovated much of the 1980s synth sounds. One of the most notable masters of the Moog is Keith Emerson of The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Wow, I've never heard you guys completely miss the mood and focal points of a song until now. Go get your head right (wink wink) and try this one again! lol The vocals are so sensual and smokey sounding, to say they sound like southern rock or the sound of music is crazy to me. More important than that is the GUITAR in this song! That steady vamp sets up a dark and brooding mood that the lead guitar plays against perfectly. Those tones! This is one of the songs that made me want to play guitar.

This song is all about laying down a smooth groove.

React to Hearts tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors.

I absolutely love everything about this song!

Key words in this whole thing: "Oooh, he got magic hands".

You guys gotta do "Straight On" by Heart

This is a 70s stoner headphones song. If that’s your bag, you love it, hehe. Also, it really needs to be said: the hip guitar in early Heart should be properly credited to roger fisher. Listen to any of their music after he was out of the band and the importance of his contributions to their sound from this period will be readily apparent .

Glad to see you guys really digging Heart, I really respect the both of you for really crossing all barriers and appreciating all music. Wish you both nothing but success in everything you do. Dream Boat Annie is another song you might like. 👍

The harmonies are absolutely angelic, about when the synthesizer comes in.

Heart is dope!! They changed the game at the time! Glad you guys reacted to this!!

Hey guys, I've always loved the eerie atmosphere this song creates since I was just a child hearing it on the radio.. soon after, I had a crush on Ann Wilson lol

Best concert I ever saw. Heart at SPAC in NY. In the 90s. Sooo good!!

Guys, with Heart keep the time in mind... mid 70's with a female guitar as lead. They held their own and then some. From a guitar playing stand point, Nancy Wilson is very under rated

This will always be my favorite Heart song. So smooooth to the ears 🤤

Magic Man was kind of autobiographical about her and Heart co founder Michael Fisher when they first were living together in the mtns away from family etc. Basically a young love song.

I saw Heart live in concert a few years ago. Ladies are still badass, got pipes, can play. Love them. If you do a "Ladies of Rock" marathon, I hope you veer into the ethereal/industrial weird of Portishead. "Glory Box" is...amazing. :)

That guitar solo saved it for you guys because that's the creative talent of lead guitarist, Roger Fisher. The man played a HUGE part in the making of the early Heart rock n roll sound! Highly underrated player!

This song is the autumn of 1976 in a nutshell. I used to call it the try try try song as a little kid LOL

Saw Heart at the Texxas Jam in 79. It was 110° on the field but Heart came on right about dark and a thunderstorm rolled in. It was beautiful to see the clothes they had on blowing in the wind and Ann was belting. Unfortunately back then they had to stop because of the lightning. Good times and memories.

Growing up with Heart, this song to me has held up the best after years of hearing them all.

Bangles hazy shade of winter

Ice T sampled a little bit of the guitar breakdown for the song "Personal" on his Power album.

Heart definitely does great at capturing that kind of deep feeling; not just romance, but introspection and nostalgia as well. "Dog and Butterfly" is a brilliant tune, and very distinctive even within their own body of work; and just wonderfully captures that sort of introspective look back at childhood and growth.

This song was immediately fire for me because I'm a sucker for that bass and the drum backbeat throughout the song. This is my favorite Heart song hands down.

The other Heart songs are great, for sure. But this one is mesmerizing. The guitars are hypnotic.

Lol! I knew you'd come around in the end! But no worries... Barracuda is my favorite too! 😂

Always loved the drum track on this song

A classic, we've all heard this 100 times. It's fun to sing, with a killer guitar solo, and Ann's voice is always fire.

Sonic Youth....kool thing....80s and 90s alternative rock...Kim Gordon wrote this song after an awkward interview that she did with LL cool J for spin magazine...its got a great driving beat and they always use bizzare guitar tunings....features chuck D as well...i beg you to check it out...i reckon you guys will love it

All their songs are unique. They don't really repeat themselves. Ann and Nancy are song writers, the entire band, so talented. Continue on with heart and do a reaction to straight on. Do their live performances. Ann is fantastic live.

its that drum beat mixed with that guitar, its so great. still probably my favorite from Heart

Honestly The Wilson Sisters are phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with them

Ann Wilson has an AMAZING voice.

this is a bad ass song. No doubt. These women rocked

It also helped that they were absolutely beautiful and cool as shit to watch! One of my favorite concerts! I was right up front.

Oh yeah. Heart's 70s output is criminally undermentioned. A great band.

This is such a classic. Absolutely amazing! 🖤

Trust me, this song will grow on you. I love it! Always crank this when it comes on!!

Alone, WHo Will You Run To, Never, Heartless - 80s Heart from when pop music ROCKED!!!

This whole album is the greatest thing those sisters have ever done. Absolutely wonderful.

Try "Straight On To You" it's terrific

Y’all HAVE to check out Hearts version of the Righteous Brothers “Unchained Melody” Pure creative genius

You really need to do live versions of these Heart songs. They are even better live.

The only thing worse than comparing heart to Disney is comparing heart to the sound of music

Ice T used part of that guitar breakdown in a song on his Power album. I can never remember which one.

Man I love Ann's voice. Just incredible. She and Brad Delp are probably my two favorite singers of all time.

as a 70's baby grew up on Heart and at the time was a guilty pleasure, only to learn nothing guilty about them, great band Ann and Nancy and rest of band great job.

"Crazy on you" by Heart is fantastic and needs to be heard. As always, good work.

Probably my favorite Heart tune, even though it's been played to death on classic rock stations. The middle instrumental section is slammin though.

Exactly it spoke to a generation!! And Ann’s voice come on! It’s a nice catchy tune also. Love it.

This song was waaay before my time, but it really captures that heady, intense first love from a young girls point of view, and I always thought the magic man sounded like someone who won’t be around forr very long.

This one's more of a grower than Barracuda and Crazy on You, but it sticks in your head just as easily as the other two.

Y’all absolutely NEED to react to Fleetwood Mac’s live performance of Silver Springs from The Dance.

Yes, the song is autobiographical. The band's manager (the Magic Man) moved to Canada to avoid the Viet Nam draft. Ann moved there to be with him and the band reformed there. Ice-T sampled part of the guitar solo in his song Personal.

Have always loved 70's Heart. George it's interesting that you heard a Southern Rock vibe, I've always thought it had a deep funk to it especially when the hand percussion comes in. Glad you enjoyed it, the Wilson sisters poured everything into their music and their band was highly underrated.

Its really cool that y'all aren't like some reaction channels where they act like they love every song just to get likes and views

"Magic Man" was THAT SONG for me back in the day. (Edited to add: was this the ‘70s version of NIN’s ‘Closer.’ This was the song you lost your virginity to.")
