“Rockin Heaven Down” by Heart

Heart's "Rockin Heaven Down" comes off Bébé le Strange, the American band's fifth album, which Epic put out in February 1980, and it's from the first Heart record without founding lead guitarist Roger Fisher, who had left months earlier along with his brother Michael. Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson wrote it with Sue Ennis.

So the electric guitars belong to Nancy Wilson and Howard Leese, Michael Derosier drums, and Ann Wilson sings lead and rattles the tambourine. The backing vocals are a crowd: Nancy Wilson, Leese, Gary Humphreys, Don Wilhelm and something billed as The Wild Angel Chorus. Wilhelm went back a long way with Fisher: the two had been in a '60s outfit, the Army, alongside Steve Fossen. Mike Flicker produced with Connie & Howie, who also take an acoustic guitar credit, and Flicker engineered with Rob Perkins.
