hard to believe huh...time truly flies... lordy lordy

[@jamesdantonio7235]

Awesome memories ❤️ ♥️ 😊😊

[@whatsinaname1890]

You should watch the live Midnight Special version. It's amazing how easily Mickey Thomas seems to find singing like that - relaxed, smiling. There are interviews on KZbin where he explained that he was with a gospel group and the lead guy taught him how to sing in that style. Also, he had heard Elvin play the song years earlier but Elvin had never been interested in working it up for a recording. Years later, they were making a record, and the producer wanted just one more song. Mickey said, "What about that old 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love' song?" The rest is history.

[@mgtow316]

Makes sense. Always thought Mickey sang this like a blind, Mississippi church boy.

[@richardjimenez7467]

When you watch the live version you see how effortless Mickys vocals are, talented dude!

[@acripe9875]

Love Mickey Thomas's vocals and Elvin Bishop's guitar solo is fire.

Glad y'all enjoyed this one. It's a great song, and Elvin Bishop is phenomenal. Mickey Thomas shines on another lead vocal with the band Jefferson Starship. Check out the song "Jane", which was a few years after this one.

[@redindenver6666]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's SO well crafted and produced, and then when you hear Elvin's guitar work, and Mickey's GREAT vocals, it's just perfect.

[@757optim]

Elvin's guitar is a Gibson ES-345 he calls "Red Dog". You can see it on the live performance of this song on The Midnight Special.

[@rayeckert242]

Another stellar choice, gentlemen. The guitar solo could cut glass. And that Mickey vocal could sweep up the pieces… Like there would be any left!

[@rickthoma6428]

Bishop is an awesome guitar player.

[@bryanthompson8814]

Classic song. Mickey Thomas had the perfect voice for this song. Awesome!

[@rob589]

You guys will love Mickey Thomas vocals on JANE and also FIND YOUR WAY BACK by Jefferson Starship, great jams

[@shellzmoe8966]

Jane is a JAM!!!! and yes his voice is amazing!!

[@Topgunphoto]

both great hits!

[@thegorn68]

If you search KZbin "Mickey Thomas Howard Stern" and you see Mickey singing this song as a guest and he STILL has the voice years later.

[@justjack0715]

Arguably the most UNDERATED singer in R & R!

[@bintheredonethat]

Mickey Thomas was a backup singer for Elvin Bishop & he got tapped to do this song. Needless to say, the rest is history. ;o)

[@jerrytaylor8889]

56 year old drummer here saying thank you for an extended or maybe album version of this song! As much money as I spent on vinyl back then (whole lot of lawn mowing), I thought I had heard every version of the gems from that era. I bought the 45 to this classic - I still have & play it from time to time on my old Ludwig kit, but I have GOT to find this version! A great hit & as always, a great reaction

[@seansherrod8725]

I’m a 56 year old drummer as well who played Ludwig for decade’s before I switched to Pearl in the early 2000’s. You sound a LOT like me, God love ya good brother!

[@MrRondonmon]

That wasn't quite the way Micky got to sing the song. True, he wasn't the lead singer, but at a party, Mickey was singing free lance, screwing around, and this came out, so it was a *JOKE SONG* and one day many months later Mickey was like, let try that song out, Elvin was like OK, and Micky basically ad libbed the last half of the song, creating a full song out of a half song and Elvin was like, hell, lets record it. This song was on *Guardians of the Galaxy*

[@deltabravo287]

One of my favorite guitar solo’s ever. Elvin is referenced in Charlie Daniels band song The South Is Gonna Do It Again. “ Elvin Bishop sitting on a bale of hay, he ain’t good lookin’ but he sure can play”

[@deltabravo287]

The radio version often cuts the solo short.

[@annewoodard6803]

Not a big Mickey Thomas Starship fan, but this song is legendary. I was in Jr High and it never gets old. One of the greats guys. 😁❤️

[@cdfdesantis699]

Charlie Daniels sang about Elvin, "He ain't good-lookin', but he sure can play!". Thanks for your reaction.

[@vernonloften5248]

Was a huge hit then. We were all singing along at the time

[@carol3843]

Saw Elvin Bishop two days ago. Still smokin’!

[@raeann63]

"jane" "jane" "jaaaaane" is the jefferson starship song you want to hear mickey thomas' stellar pipes. wowza.

[@pia8a]

Not flute.. it’s the steel guitar that Elvin is on.. he rips it and makes his guitar cry!! 🎉😂 love it!! I grew up in the 70’s & it brings back good summertime memories.. lyrics are fire 🔥

[@lindazee]

Sexy guitar solo. Incredible vocals. Solidly compelling keyboard and drums.

[@glennawhiteman742]

Micky Thomas voice is so underrated, he's actually one of the best! Check out his work with Starship...songs like ... Lay it on the line, No way out,Jane, Find your way back and others.

[@dannymoore6886]

Elvin is a hell of a guitar player. He played guitar for many years with the white boy blues masters in Chicago. Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Michael Bloomfield.

[@randlnickel9196]

This 14 year old fell Deeply in love with the guitar

[@joj2142]

Mickey Thomas is a BEAST. Glad you got to this one. I love Mickey Thomas. You need to listen to the song No Way Out and the song Sarah by Starship.

[@MarkNarmour]

Y'all need to turn up the volume, so we can hear this man's voice!

[@timwhitnell7145]

The melody is fire and Mickey Thomas's voice is superb but I forgot how amazing Elvin's guitar solo is. That organ though is how I identify with this song.

[@davemixen8872]

You know the guy singing that was a roadie for the band and backup singer who stepped up to sing that 🤙🏻

[@dlplus4]

Jefferson Starship - Find Your Way Back has great vocals also

[@angelajakem366]

Love this song since I first heard it ages ago. I also thought Elvin Bishop was on vocals .Then I found out Mickey Thomas was the vocalist and became an instant fan and followed him to Jefferson Starship. He has a phenonemal voice.

[@mrbass617]

Funny you said Mickey was "laying it on the line". That is the name of a Starship song sung by Mickey Thomas. Jane is the song to do, though. He is from Cairo, Georgia.

[@sandramolina7919]

Mickey Thomas is a great vocalist. ❤

[@lewismaddox4132]

Mickey Thomas has got the renown, but Elvin Bishop can play some filthy guitar.

[@thathawaiiandude787]

As always….great reaction, guys! Love it when younger generations appreciate songs I grew up with. If this blew your minds….their Live version is top shelf, brothers. Elvin crushes his solo even more on it….and Mickey put the “stank” on his lead vocals. You all need to check out his years with Jefferson Starship and Starship….he wailed on some tunes too. Keep up the great work…Aloha🤙🏾🎼🤘🏾

[@sweetjunegirl]

Mickey Thomas! Wow what a song!

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Great reaction, guys! I have said this before and I'll say it again: Nick has the best "stank face" of all reactors on KZbin, when he is feeling moved by -- and enjoying -- a song! 🙂... Keep up the great work and Happy Holidays! ... Mickey Thomas has a great voice, but the best songs by Jefferson Starship (the second iteration of Jefferson Airplane) featured Marty Balin as lead singer ("Miracles" was a No.3 pop song in 1975 and "With Your Love" reached No. 12 in 1976 and "Count on Me" reached No. 8 in 1978). With Mickey Thomas as lead singer, Jefferson Starship and Starship had hits with "Find Your Way Back" (1980, No. 29) and "We Built This City" (1985, with co-lead vocals by Grace Slick from "White Rabbit") and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (1987, also with Grace Slick), the latter two of which were No. 1 pop songs (heavy emphasis on "pop").

[@Laniefj]

That Miracles even played on the radio was a miracle. People didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. Lol

[@x0539p]

Mickey has a stellar voice! Love your reactions.

There are so many great but unknown and under-rated guitarist out there that so many people are not aware of. Elvin Bishop is just one of them. A beautiful song too by the way.

[@steve9199]

Elvin got his start with the Butterfield Blues Band. That's a nice little rabbit hole to go down. He also received "honorable mention" in the Charlie Daniels song, "The South's Gonna Do It Again".

[@dreamweaver8913]

Speaking of Jefferson Starship, it would be amazing if you guys checked out "Miracles" by them. Ryan especially would really love it! Great song! Gotta make sure you listen to the lyrics in it. Sadly, Marty Balin passed away in 2018. His voice was amazing along with Grace Slick in this one...

[@jossoaktree]

Y'all, check out Mickey going ham on Jefferson Starship's ' Jane'. Brilliant!

Wife Speaking....Damn, Ty..when you said "That is Dirty" I had a total Eargasm..!!! and I also felt it "somewhere else"😷!!!!

[@Jessica_Roth]

Although most bands named after a band member have the singer's name, there are more than a few named for the guitarist. Elvin is just one example. Ted Nugent Santana Robin Trower Brinsley Schwarz The J. Giels Band You're not going to get many vocals out of any of them. You even occasionally get bands named for keyboards player (Manfred Mann), but those are relatively rare. And the most interesting decision has to be The Alan Parson Project, which is named after the producer. Lol. (And yes, "Jane" rocks the house down, if you want Mickey's work in Jefferson Starship.)

[@annewoodard6803]

James Gunn also put the song in Guardians of the Galaxy 😁

[@AP-sg2ut]

Hear Mickey sing Jane for Jefferson Starship. Also Mickey talked Bishop into recording the song

[@stevenroby8607]

Just tune in, and recognized that’s Louisville skyline behind you…lived there 40 years. Always loved this song, assume vocals and instruments! Thanks

[@pia8a]

Ambrosia “That’s how much I feel” good one too check that one out.. 🎉😊

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

yep, I agree, JANE.

[@joymiller338]

Mickey Thomas sang back-up in Bishop's band but when it came to this song Bishop felt Thomas' voice better suited it. He was right and history was made. Thomas later joined Jefferson Starship replacing Marty Balin. Thomas made his debut with Starship on the album Freedom at Point Zero with the song Jane. If you were blown away by Thomas' voice here you will be placed in a coma after hearing it on Jane.

[@goodowner5000]

Mickey Thomas (Jefferson Starship) "Find Your Way Back", "Sara" .

[@ontrack16]

I believe the beautiful ghostly sounds behind the music are from a combination of feedback and volume control, a part in this song (as well, his solo!) and technique I've always loved. Thx for choosing it and the always helpful background info :)

Hey guys! I have a band you have never heard of: Audiance. That's right a band named Audiance! They are a rock band from England that put out a few records and made their distinct sound with sax and acoustic guitars. A very strong singer and song writer too. Try the song Jackdaw,then Buy me an island,followed by House on the hill. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Great song. Number 2 hit in the spring of 1976. I agree with some of the other commentators that the Live Midnight Special version is worth a view. Mickey Thomas certainly has some terrific pipes you can see why he soon headed off to be lead singer in the Jefferson Starship. Elvin Bishop delivers a sensational guitar solo as you guys noted, which sadly was edited down on the single version of this song.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

You need to hear Mickey sing Jane by Jefferson Starship, that's the song he is probably the most famous for and there is a great solo in it as well. Elvin was huge in his day.
