Musical Interlude: Barracuda (1977)

 Heart just missed the top 10 in 1977 with "Barracuda", which has become an FM radio staple, more than 45 years later.


Vocalist Ann Wilson explained that she wrote the song after she'd been disrespected by a promoter who was under the mistaken notion that she was in some sort of incestuous relationship with her sister, Nancy.

Heart were scheduled to play in Albany next month, but Ann Wilson recently underwent surgery to remove some cancerous cells, and has to undergo chemotherapy, forcing the band to cancel the remaining dates on their 2024 tour, which will be made up next year.
