Over the years, Heart’s 1978 album “Dog and Butterfly” has become iconic, and one of the main reasons why is the album’s first single release: “Straight On.”

Of course, the collective talents of the Wilson Sisters, Ann & Nancy, (with co-writer Sue Ennis)’are what made “Straight On” such a “Great Song!”

It’s a rockin’ but slightly funky nod to disco that featured high-soaring vocals, a steady beat, and alternating guitar riffs, with gambling metaphors peppered throughout the lyrics.

Ann Wilson called it “Heart’s first dance song.” Everybody else called it…a hit!

“Straight On” charted at #14 on Canada’s Top 40, and #15 in the US on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Since then, the song has become a classic oldie on radio stations everywhere…proving that when you lay all the cards on the table, (gambling metaphor intended), “Straight On” is a “Great Song of ’78! “
