Artist: Heart
Video: From YouTube.
"What About Love" was the first single from Heart's 1985 self-titled comeback album. The song represented the band's first top 10 effort in five years, peaking at #10 in the Billboard Hot 100.
Heart, led by sisters Ann & Nancy Wilson, first achieved success in the late 70's. After an early 80's decline, they enjoyed a resurgence in the mid-80's with several hit singles from this album and the follow-up, "Bad Animals" in 1987.
Not quite a hard rocker and not quite a ballad, "What About Love" was a powerful hybrid of the two. Along with "Never" (which will be featured later in this countdown), this song was my introduction to Heart and led me to discover older classics such as "Barracuda" and "Magic Man".
The video includes lots of fire and smoke imagery. Like the fiery passion of hot burning love!
One more thing. Enjoy this hilarious analysis from Grantland on the 1985 American Music Awards.
