Heart (band)

Their collaboration in Heart resulted in numerous multi-platinum albums, nine US top ten singles, and worldwide career sales of more than 20 million records.
. Founded in Seattle in 1974 by sisters, Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson, the band had a sound heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin with elements of folk-rock and power ballads. In 2005, Jean earned a Golden Globe for his track entitled "Million Voices" featured on the soundtrack to the film Hotel Rwanda. Heart was one of the most successful female fronted band in the annals of hard rock. A freewheeling album that is something of a return to his Caribbean roots, most of the songs on the album are in his native language of Haitian Creole or Kreyòl. "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" [#2, May 1990]. In 2004, he released his fifth album, entitled Sak Pasé Presents: Welcome to Haiti (Creole 101) (released in the United States by Koch Records).

"Who Will You Run To" [#7, September 1987]. His fourth album was The Preacher's Son, an album that Wyclef considered a continuation of his first album, Carnival. "Alone" [#1, June 1987 (3 weeks)]. Jean's third album, Masquerade, was released in 2002 and sold well, though critics frequently panned it. "Nothin' at All" [#10, May 1986]. The critical reception was mixed, with many calling the album scattershot and too far-ranging to be cohesive. "These Dreams" [#1, February 1986 (1 week)]. Blige.

"Never" [#4, October 1985]. Jean's second solo album was The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book, recorded with guests Youssou N'Dour, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kenny Rogers, The Rock and Mary J. "What about Love?" [#10, July 1985]. The Fugees remained in limbo during this time, with the follow-up to The Score being continually postponed as all three members cultivated solo careers. "Tell It Like It Is" [#8, December 1980]. Jean went on to work with artists including Santana, Tevin Campbell, Cypress Hill, Bounty Killer, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Sublime, Simply Red, Mya, Sinéad O'Connor, Kimberly Scott, Mick Jagger, Canibus, The Black Eyed Peas and Eric Benét. "Magic Man" [#9, September 1976]. The album was a major hit, as were two singles: "We Trying to Stay Alive" (adapted from The Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive") and "Gone Til November" (recorded with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra).

Brigade [#3, June 1990]. The album's guests included Hill and Pras along with Jean's siblings, the I Threes (back-up vocals for Bob Marley), Neville Brothers and Celia Cruz. Bad Animals [#2, July 1987]. Jean soon announced plans to begin a solo career with 1997's Wyclef Jean Presents the Carnival Featuring the Refugee All-Stars (more typically called simply The Carnival). Heart [#1, August 1985]. Their eclectic follow-up, The Score, however, sold over 17 million copies worldwide and turned the trio into international superstars. Greatest Hits/Live [#13, December 1980/January 1981]. The Fugees signed to Ruffhouse Records and released their debut, Blunted on Reality, but the album was panned and sold poorly.

Bebe Le Strange [#5, March 1980]. In 1987, Jean, his cousin Prakazrel Michel (Pras) and his classmate, Lauryn Hill, formed a group called the Tranzlator Crew before becoming The Fugees. Wyclef worked as a cabdriver. Little Queen [#9, June 1977]. Born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, Jean moved to Brooklyn when he was nine, then to New Jersey, where he began playing the guitar and studying jazz in high school. Dreamboat Annie [#7, August 1976]. Wyclef Jean (born October 17, 1972) is a Haitian-born rapper, producer and former member of the superstar hip hop trio The Fugees, known now for a series of high-profile hit singles.
