LOL I could not imagine Stevie singing about walking through a wall
In addition her voice was so raspy during this time, I don't think it would have sounded very good. Although Stevie took on some cheezy songs for RAL but this one would have taken the cake. When it was offered to Heart, they pretty much were a dead band and had to change record labels. I think Nancy did the song justice and pulled off what would be a very difficult song to sing. I think some Stevie fans feel regret because the song was #1 and so popular. Not sure Stevie could have pulled that off.

I don't know if Heart was necessarily "dead". Both the two previous albums before 1985's Heart album reached the top 40 despite bad reviews and often are considered flops. Someone plz correct me but I think I remember from their autobiography that they decided to leave Epic for Capitol. Any which way it was Capitol who insisted on recorded outside material. These Dreams is a brilliant track and Nancy sings it perfectly. I don't think Stevie would have done this track justice but that's just my opiion.
