The debut album by Vancouver-based band Heart, featuring sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, is certified gold after selling half a million copies.

Recorded at Can-Base Studios on West 6th Avenue (later known as Mushroom Studios), Dreamboat Annie featured two hit singles, “Crazy on You” and “Magic Man,” which reached numbers thirty-five and nine respectively on the Billboard Hot 100.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, when the original members reunited for the first time in more than 30 years to play “Crazy on You.”
