Day 48: A Requested Song


ALONE
By Heart

The song was given to Heart and released as the first single from their ninth studio album Bad Animals  in May 1987. Heart's version is a power ballad that begins with a piano line and a subdued vocal from Ann Wilson before exploding into an amplified hard rock chorus. The song has been covered numerous times on American Idol as well as by artists such as Celine Dion, but is viewed as being exceptionally difficult to cover because of Ms. Wilson's legendary performance. According to a Songfacts interview with Steinberg, Kelly (an xperienced session singer) provided the high harmony parts on the record. "Alone" is Heart's biggest hit, spending three weeks at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 that July. It ranked number 2 on the Billboard Year-End Top Pop Singles of 1987. It is also their most successful single in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. The song's popular video featured the band in a synched live performance. An "unplugged" version of the song later appeared on Heart's 1995 album The Road Home. Courtesy of www.wikipedia.org
