[@rickt10]

One of the greatest rock and roll voices of all time. Damn, that woman could sing.

[@oregonpatriot1570]

I was ten years old when this aired. The only reason I remember sitting there watching it is because of my older sister. She turned me on to ALL the great music of the 60's! _To which I'll always be EXTREMELY grateful!_ (she had the best box of 45 rpm records!)

[@richardsmith8342]

Grace has such a powerful voice. Absolutely amazing. Still listen to their albums. Yes, I'm old. My Montgomery Wards turntable and 8 track player still work Pop gave it to me on my 12th birthday. My dad's generation really knew how to build stuff that lasts. My kids and grand kids love the music of the 60s and 70s. Before musicians got so full of themselves.

[@pattymiller9040]

I also have an 8 track tape player that works ....part of the stereo we bought a lot of years ago!!😁 Several of my grandchildren know & like some of those great 60s & 70s tunes!! ..I'm impressed when today's teens know some great past hits!

[@johnmiller7665]

I have a Live Jefferson Airplane album from 1969, with many pictures of Grace hanging out!! I still idolize her

[@myfavoritemartian1]

I was 16 when this song came out. I spent a lot of time in my car because we were only allowed country music at home. Grace was so powerful that it almost hurt. But my first love was and remains today....The Doors. Grace and company represented San Francisco, Haight/Ashberry, flowers and free love. I lived in Arizona where we had fast cars, dark music and the promise of a day of reckoning. Jimmy is still 27, RIP Man.

I absolutely love JA's "Surrealistic Pillow", but I honestly can't help listening to the album without feeling such a deep nostalgia and without thinking about the summer of 1967 filled with so much young people eager to live life. I'm only 24 and I really despise the deadness in today's youth.

Those were great times! Nonetheless, embrace your youth, Aldair! Have fun! Chase your dreams with hard work and perseverance. Have fun! God bless you. Steve

I feel for you, and I feel you are mostly correct Thing are happening at a fast pace, but let me ask you Have you gone out of town and traveled Also if you’re depressed, do as the Buddhists say Go out the house and help someone in need Perceptions may in time change for the better, that’s how life becomes interesting You’re probably stuck with kids who don’t leave their house and thus never help and then minds become stagnant and self serving Hope so was able to help - Miracles

@@r.h.5655 This song, as well as White Rabbit, is from her former band, The Great Society. It had a completely different pace back then (slower and more straight forward in-tempo singing) and was written by Darby Slick. It was mostly fitted to suit Jefferson Airplane's style.

Uno dei più bei brani sull'amare ed essere riamati 🎶🥰

[@altfactor]

This was one of two songs that became huge worldwide hits during 1967 which gave that summer the nickname "The Summer Of Love" (the other being The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love"). But that summer also saw the war in Vietnam continue, war break out in the Middle East (won by Israel in just six days), a civil war breaking out in the Nigerian province of Biafra (most of it's casualties were civilians who starved to death), and deadly riots in Detroit and Newark. Maybe the younger generation of that era was trying to say (or sing) a message to those in power.

[@sisterearthful]

Grace Slick looks so radiant in her black velvet cloak. My 17 year son kept asking me to repeat the part when she says: "Your eyes,I say your eyes may look like his, But in your head baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is." I'm tired of singing,and now my throat hurts,lol But it was worth it ! I keep hiding all of my photo albums because they're full of too many wonderful, beautiful, joyful memories. I wish there was a time machine that could take us back in time. But, when I think about it, it's all a beautiful dream that will become just a memory.

[@sisterearthful]

I remember when Grace was at one of the Jefferson Airplane's concerts singing, and there was this annoying dude interrupting her. and the music. She took the microphone that she was holding and began to hit him and told to shut up! I was shocked! Not only is she beautiful but very tough!

[@sisterearthful]

I watched one of Grace Slick's interviews from 2013. She still has those beautiful blue stormy eyes, and spoke about Paul Kanter. I thought they broke up a long time ago? She also mentioned her beautiful daughter, China. I send her all of my best wishes.
