Heart Alone

Alone was composed by the songwriting team of Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. Heart released the single from their ninth studio album, Bad Animals, in May 1987. Their power ballad begins with a piano line and a subdued vocal from Ann Wilson, leading to a synth-led hard-rock chorus. Tom Kelly, the song’s coauthor and himself an experienced session singer, provided the high harmony parts on the record. Alone is performed by Heart overdubbed with the studio audio recording. Cash Box said that it’s “a potent, emotion-drenched rock ballad that features Ann Wilson’s signature billowing, riveting vocal performance.“ “Alone“ spent three weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in July 1987. The #heart song ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Year-End Top Pop Singles of 1987. It is also Heart’s most successful single in the United Kingdom, where #alone peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart in June. It is the band’s only song to peak inside the UK Top 5. Heart musicians are Ann Wilson – lead vocals; Nancy Wilson – rhythm guitar, piano, background vocals; Howard Leese – lead guitar, keyboards; Mark Andes – bass guitar; Denny Carmassi – drums.
