Now that Wilson is ready to hang it all up and retire—or so she hints—she is finally getting her due as one of the influential singers of her generation.

And on rockers such as "Kick It Out," Nancy's flowing moves and chugging rhythm guitar work suggested a young Jimmy Page leading a Tae-Bo session.
