Sarah, Mickey Thomas is from Valdosta, Georgia. He learned to sing in church. He went on to join Jefferson Starship a few years after this. You should do "Jane" from Jefferson Starship, he does a great job on that song. Then, do "Awakening" which is a hell of a song. Can't recommend them both enough. I heard an interview with Mickey recently. He and Elvin Bishop were reminiscing and laughing about the 2nd resurrection of this song. It was big when it came out the first time ('75 I think). Then it hit again after appearing in the movie "Guardians of the Galaxy".

Mickey Thomas is one of the greatest singers ever and still performing in 2024 with Starship. To me this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded He did a magnificent job with Starship after this band with JANE.Elvin Bishop did a great guitar solo and kudos to him and everyone involved making this such a great song.

Elvin Bishop was the Guitarist, you. should listen to Jefferson Starship and their song ‘Jane’ which features Micky Thomas on vocals!
@musicloverchiefsfan5410Ай бұрын
I came here to suggest Jane. I would have been shocked and a little disappointed if no one had already done that. Great suggestion!

The video got cut short at the end. Anyway Sarah, your little unborn treasure, according to science, can actually hear the sounds, the vibs, of the music you are listening to, so keep on listening to the optimistic good vibs of music in the 50s to the 70s, early eighties and sing along and that little being will have a good start on being a happy little treasure when he/she breaths it's first breath. Congrats also.
