[@loisrogers9042]

His vocal range is just, wow!!!

[@robertwarren7428]

If you find any of the clips of recent concerts, he hasn't lost much of that range with age.

[@gnrnando88]

Mickey is what singers call "a perfect tenor". Amazing vocal range, great tone and beautiful melodies.

[@datacipher]

Yep.. when he first appeared I thought no… you can’t match slick… but quickly I had to admit: he’s better. His range and tone are ridiculous….

[@chaoticneutral3487]

This is the same vocalist-Mickey Thomas, who sang lead vocals on the song 'Fooled Around and Fell In Love'. Mickey has some golden pipes.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love Jefferson Starship's "Miracles", "Count On Me" and "Play On Love"!!! edit- correction, Mickey Thomas on lead vocals, thank you Ralph Filigenzi. Mickey and David Freiberg both sang it live, but David co-wrote it with Jim McPherson. Chronologically its was Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and then Starship. Grace Slick was in all 3 groups

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

But this studio version from 1979 was Mickey Thomas.

[@chellj8175]

Miracles a beautiful song !! My very first album as a teen !!

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Yep. Your comments nailed this group down perfectly. 🤘😎

[@surlechapeau]

@@ronaldelliott4373 thank you

[@msteryis]

Marty Balin sang lead on "Miracles."

[@robertwarren7428]

The drummer on this is Ansley Dunbar (Journey, Jefferson Starship and many others)

[@frankhoward4485]

One of the greatest pop/rock songs ever. Radio-pop structure with rock backbeat and instrumentation. All hats off to Mickey Thomas ... all day, every day.

[@terrylandess6072]

I never looked to Jefferson Airplane/Starship for amazing guitar work, but this song kicks ass.

[@heronpage3883]

Oh no, are you kidding??? Craig Chaquico was off the chain! Check out "Save Your Love" for a finale with Craig and Aynsley Dunbar blowing the roof off.

[@chrisyasus8912]

​@heronpage3883 Also Stranger just ripppps

[@vickiroman189]

Oh, Mickey! His strong, high, clear, perfect voice always takes my breath.

[@heronpage3883]

BJ, the drummer on this song is also the drummer on the next song y'all reacted to. His name is Aynsley Dunbar. He was in Journey before he joined Jefferson Starship. He played with Whitesnake, Jeff Beck and David Bowie back in the day. He is literally considered one of the best rock drummers of all time.

[@Jessica_Roth]

What happened was that John Barbata, the drummer for Jefferson Starship (who had been in The Turtles and Crosby Stills Nash & Young before that) got into an awful car wreck, took a couple of years to heal, and ended up retiring from music. (He's fine. Just quit the biz.) So the Starship needed a drummer, and as Journey wasn't exactly a big name (and perhaps Dunbar thought new vocalist Steve Perry was changing the direction of the band too much), it wasn't too hard for them to convince Aynsley to switch to the #1 band on the San Francisco scene. (Of course, within 5 years, Journey had gone supersonic and were doing stadium tours, but so it goes.) Dunbar had left the band by the time Paul Kantner (RIP) also quit, meaning that there were no original Jefferson Airplane members left, and so Kantner was able to stop them from using the "Jefferson" part of the name. (Remember, Grace Slick was not an original part of the Airplane.). But as "Starship", Mickey Thomas and the group had enormous success anyhow. ("We Built This City" and so forth.) Indeed, they once again surpassed Journey, who were broken up by then. So Dunbar kind of missed the boat, both coming and going. The drummer on those later "Starship" albums is Donny Baldwin, who's with the touring present-day Jefferson Starship. (Kantner's dead, so they can use "Jefferson" again.). Singing for the group appears to be David Freiberg, who was playing the keyboards and doing backing vocals on this track. I don't see Mickey Thomas listed as being in the current group; I think he's touring on his own, nowadays. (The reason poor Chris Smith doesn't have his name in blue on Wikipedia is because, unlike all the others, he doesn't have a Wikipedia page of his own. Guy's been in the band for 25 years now; they could give him a little bit of respect, lol.)

[@clarkmacgowan5114]

​@Jessica Roth Aynsley was actually fired by Journey after a gig in Oakland in 1978. He actually sued them over it - and won. I don't think he officially joined Starship until early 1979 but I don't remember all the circumstances. I know Freedom at Point Zero didn't come out until late 79.

[@Jessica_Roth]

@@clarkmacgowan5114 Did not know that! They actually fired Aynsley to hire Steve Smith? Incredible. (Some people love Smith, but I don't.) Do you have a link to any articles? I'd love to learn more. Thanks.

[@VidiotSavante]

Mickey Thomas! One of the greatest voices of all time! 🎤😎 He also did the vocals on "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" by Elvin Bishop, which you guys reacted to back in January. More Jefferson Starship/Starship: "Find Your Way Back", "Sara", "We Built This City", and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". Several of these tracks also feature the amazing Grace Slick on vocals. 😎😎😎

[@sandmanlogan5ran149]

It was obvious you guys were hooked after about 5 seconds, as were we all when we first heard. Jefferson Airplane/Starship is well worth your time, thanks for this

[@dylan42207]

How lucky am I that I grew up with this song on radio every single day? And still is on classic stations everywhere. This was the best era in music history!!!

[@janicez2630]

I saw them on this original tour in Berkeley CA...so good! Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick are amazing vocalists, and the rest of the band are great musicians all around. Go see them if you get a chance!

[@americanaforever6725]

“Find Your Way Back” “Familiar Stranger” and “No Way Out” are more bangers with Mickey Thomas on vocals

[@bostonvair]

I was one of the people who requested this when you reacted to Elvin Bishop's 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Jefferson Starship had several vocalists over the years, but the vocalist here is the same (Mickey Thomas) and this song displays his vocal awesomeness. I love the start of the guitar solo also. This song is total fire.

[@gaijin5]

Mickey Thomas... one of the very best vocalists! 🔥🔥🔥

[@rubbersole79]

The great Mickey Thomas on vocals and Aynsley Dunbar on drums.

[@leemcclements8889]

I love this song! " We Built this city " is a good one from this Jefferson Airplane/ Starship era

[@4orrific]

You two are masters of expressing your reactions on how a song can hit you to the core.Your detail to the little things are impressive as well......cheers! And rock on!

[@heentlasaa9974]

Yes, Jefferson Starship. I like "Somebody to Love, Miracles, Sara, We built this City & White Rabbit. Grace Slick was a great coming out of the Bay Area in the 60s, her vocals are awesome. "White Rabbit" was featured in the Movie Platoon when the Veterans were partying in the underworld.

[@heentlasaa9974]

Thank you Asia & Bj, you both are Cool, Stay Warm. I sent you a tune I did with 2 Hip Hop Rapper Brothers, I hope you both like it! The Bass Player for Jefferson - Jack Casady jammed with Jimi Hendrix on "Voodoo Child" Take care and keep your ears open. Twyl

[@bryansimmons4550]

The people who are in the band now are mostly not the people who recorded "Jane." Craig Chaquico was the lead guitarist and Aynsley Dunbar was the drummer on the recording. Mickey Thomas was the vocalist in the studio. Paul Kantner was one of the founding members, but he died in 2016, so he is no longer with the band. Very few bands from the 60's are still THE bands of the 60's. Even the Rolling Stones have only 2 original members left.

[@andrewpetik2034]

This is off of their album 'Freedom At Point Zero' which is an absolutely brilliant album. This was the VERY first LP that I EVER bought!!

[@donholl]

David Bowie put out an album of some of his favorite "British Invasion"-era songs - Pin-Ups - that has drummer Aynsley Dunbar on it (he was a well-respected "hired gun"): his playing on it "smokes", as well.

[@hankarmentrout6697]

I just turned 57 2 weeks ago. This song is in my top 3 EVER. Straight Fire even the music all the way to the end

[@scottvanhille5688]

Mickey Thomas is a great singer. Give their "It's Not Enough" "Find Your Way Back" "We Built This City" a try. I karaoked "Find Your Way Back" once, it was fun!

[@emilymartinez6961]

I saw them in concert way back when but if you have a chance to see them, please do, you won't regret it, they were great in concert 👍🥰

[@Ritaholden1]

Love this song Love this band. . Mostly because of the lead singer Mickey Thomas. He sings the famous fooled around and fell in love.

[@mattknowles1123]

A roller skating rink song from my middle school days.

[@joemoe765]

That's Mickey Thomas, same guy as Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop Band

[@richstrobel]

Glad to see younger people listening to music I heard growing up. If you haven't heard Stranger by Jefferson Starship check it out some time. Great lead guitars on that one.

[@behindenemylines9033]

This dude has serious pipes!

[@keepgrindingup7661]

THAT VOICE❤Hes STILL touring singing his ass off still got that ridiculous range, Mickey Thomas is one of the all-time great vocalists, no question.

[@christianm7220]

A perfect Banger! Every instrument played a part. Beating the mess outa those drums is correct sir!

[@pokerface1967]

One Of the greatest sings ever . I REALLY MEAN THAT !!!!!

[@johnnie3Chords]

One of my all-time favorite songs & guitar solo , the entire song is a great guitar song , and YES this song was in HEAVY ROTATION on MTV , when they played music ! Don't go to see them now , only ONE member from this era is still in the band , it's not the same band , not even close .

[@nicholasstaker]

"White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane is one of my favorite songs. Definitely recommend it.

[@lindakessler8768]

Miracles is a great song you should give a listen to next. My favorite song of theirs. 👍❤🤙

[@DominusLuna]

One of the best songs anyone ever sang.

Mickey Thomas is the same singer in the Elvin Bishop group... "Fooled around and fell in love".

[@jackiebinns6205]

Yes it was a very popular song in the 70s kids 😂

[@joelliebler5690]

A great rockin’ soulful tune with incredible vocals by Mickey Thomas!

[@RM-ks8pp]

Nice reaction. I have this album on vinyl " Freedom At Point Zero". Not a bad track on it in my opinion. Pulled it out the other day and gave it a listen to. Been awhile since I heard it on my system...

[@billyrampersad1750]

I do too ...

[@robertmcclafferty1371]

A great song. It was a precursor to rock in the 1980's.

[@localhoast2009]

Starship " I didn't mean to stay all night" . Thank you guys for everything and all your time.

[@jessechambers6170]

First time I heard it was on the show "Fridays". Live and awesome

[@erikroman4430]

Sounds like a Toto tune. The vocals are very similar to Bobby Kimball in his prime and the piano has David Paich written all over it.

[@johnduke7981]

When you reacted to Elvin Bischop you saw and heard Micky Thomas sing.

[@ceceliacross5953]

Love this song!!

[@ronniecarter266]

Check out No Way Out, Be My Lady, and It's Not Enough by Jefferson Starship.

[@floorticket]

Check out Aldo Nova's song "Fantasy" from 1982; three years after this song. See if you notice any similarities.

[@PeteGeorge]

Micky was supposed to be the singer for Toto.

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

Hit the like before I even heard. Love this song.

[@randyhochstein8455]

While I’ve been a fan of the various incarnations of Jefferson Airplane/ Jefferson Starship/ and then just plain Starship, I also need to say that Starship was responsible for the most disappointing concert experience of my extensive concert going career. Their big hit at the time was a song called “We Built This City On Rock & Roll,”, which they opened the show with. I don’t really think that it’s a very good song, and certainly not one of their best, but they chose to also close the show with the same lousy song. As if that’s not bad enough, what came between those two lackluster pop tunes was a grand total of 40 minutes of music. The only saving “Grace” for this show was that I did indeed get to see and hear Grace Slick perform “White Rabbit “ 🐇 ♥️✌🏼😎

Classic banger. Just an awesome song and out of this world vocals. 🔥

[@JustTanya.]

Right from the first chords played I know what I'm about to jam to. I've heard this song so many times and yet I won't fast forward because it's such a great song to just groove to. So many good songs with this band. Though Grace Slick was more prominent in Jefferson Airplane, she does sing some songs with Jefferson Starship and Starship. There's a song they sing called "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" that is featured in the 80s movie Mannequin that's a good song and a cute movie as well. 😎👍

[@topherberry1569]

Pretty sure he did the lead vocals on "Fooled around and fell in love"

[@feldspar3858]

Mickey Thomas’ voice is very underrated. He should be up there with Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury and (imo) Dennis DeYoung.

[@Tiger-fq1rw]

Waaaaaaaaay underrated !! He and Brad Delp of Boston never got their 'just do'. They are every bit as good if not better than Perry, Mercury and DeYoung IMO.

@@viacrucis2509 it was Mickey Thomas singing “Fool Around and Fell in Love”

[@kevincaulder20]

Welcome aboard the Starship, Mickey Thomas. His vocal power helped to launch this group into the upper atmosphere and beyond !! Mickey Thomas was paired with Grace Slick after leaving Elvin Bishop, whose song FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE, you recently reacted to, gave the group a new and updated sound. His vocals also brought them new fans and new glory at the end of the 7o's. On their next album, MODERN TIMES, two songs display real thrust and are underrated gems in their catalog, which built upon this success. FIND YOUR WAY BACK and STRANGER are very powerful. Enjoy

[@Mullet-ZubazPants]

You guys have to react to 'Miracles' by Jefferson Starship

[@kdbadk]

Mickey Thomas also sang Fooled Around and Fell in Love. You probably remember that reaction from about a month ago. Peace.

[@patrickpeters298]

Just wait until you hear some of the high notes Mickey Thomas hits with "No Way Out" & "Sara". The dude has got some unbelievable chops! Peace.

[@classiclife7204]

In my rock band days, one band I was in wanted a high-pitch singer. We auditioned singers by asking them to get CLOSE to this, lol. Easy for us to play, not easy for the singer! 😏

[@4yules]

"find your way back" is another gem with mickey thomas at the vocal helm...later on he turned "sara" into a beautiful song...

[@christhompson2006]

Good choice. I really like this one.

[@davidryan2669]

This was and still is a great song. Actually David Frieberg and Mickey Thomas both performed this song live and as the lead singer at different times.

[@steadfastneasy26]

@Asia and BJ *ASIA ASIA ASIA!!!!!* This post is specifically for you!! You and me are the same when it comes to the guitar and I *REALLY* want to turn you on to a song from the same album as this song. It wasn't a hit or anything but I'm truly hoping you'll overlook that fact and give it a listen on your channel. I've been imploring nearly every reactor to check it out with no luck. Please please please be the one to break that chain. The song is called "Awakening" and it's about 7 minutes long. I feel as though it's what this band would sound like if they were a full-time progressive rock band. Of course, to the point, the guitar in this song just rips, especially during the outro. It's Craig Chaquico on the lead guitar. The rest of the line-up is Mickey Thomas, lead vocals .... Paul Kantner, rhythm guitar and backing vocals ..... David Freiberg, keyboards and backing vocals ..... Pete Sears, bass guitar and backing vocals .... Aynsley Dunbar, (who had just left Journey) on drums. Please please please be that Supergirl for me and see your way clear to *experiencing* this song. If I could, I would bet my life that you won't regret it!!! The cherry on top is that I want everyone that watches you two to experience it also. It *IS* that good!! BTW, much respect to BJ, you guys are really great together and I wish you much happiness in the future regardless of your decision.

[@billyrampersad1750]

This vocalist, Mickey Thomas is the guy who sang "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" ...

[@rjh862]

The vocalist on this one was Mickey Thomas former lead singer of the Elvin Bishop band (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE)... Probably around 20 years ago I went to a rock concert I think it was labeled as the voices of Rock.. the headliner was Paul Rodgers and the opening act was Mickey Thomas and before that was kip winger.... And I remember those three guys sounded great I believe there was a couple other acts that played but they weren't very good...
