my dad passed away and this song was the only 1 he wanted to hear in his last few mintes of his life and i played it for him as the fire dwindled from his eyes and i was left crying and begging him to hold on just a little longer but he couldnt he tried but the stroke won and i miss him and was glad i got to tell him i loved 1 last time 3 weeks before his 75th birthday RIP dad you are missed greatly

You're blessed you had the chance to tell him u loved him one last time - so many only hear when loved ones pass away over the phone and rue not having a chance to say something...i was similarly blessed - we celebrated our mom's 90th at the retirement home - the 'home' was having an open house then and had a piano player, balloons, a real party atmosphere - you would have thought the whole thing was arranged for her - best 'b' day ever! - a week later she was gone...

When this was a hit September 1975, I had just returned from a 13 month tour on Okinawa at Camp Foster. I was driving down the WV Turnpike and was heading to Camp LeJeune, when I heard this song. I said SCREW IT I'm going UA aka AWOL, and quitting the Marine Corps. I had two more years left on my 4 year contract. But I stayed in and made Sergeant 8 months before I was discharged. I was offered Ssgt if I'd go to Admin Chief School and pass the course. Then be the Admin Chief of a small Company. I thought hard but decided to get out after 4 years, and let my hair. Stay in the Corps it's a great profession. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.

[@Retroscoop]

Agreed. Although the current days also bring some wonderful things, like KZbin.... No need anymore to be nice to certain people to get the OK to go through their records for example. And the possibilities to make tremendous discoveries, such as all the (great or not so great) records bands made that were once famous but faded out into oblivion, got ignored in favour of a new hip sound etc.... But yes, life was "simpler" and more social. People in the buses and trains still spoke with each other etc. Some progress, some regress etc

Recently while at work, the topic came up of another Jefferson Starship song. I said that my favorite song my them is "Miracles." One of my younger co-workers said, "I never heard of it." I told him to look it up on KZbin. He did and as soon as this song started playing, tears were flowing down his cheeks. I said, what's wrong. And he said that this was his father's favorite song that he played all of the times when he was a little boy. He was extremely close to his father, who died suddenly five years ago. He thanked me for leading him to this song, as he now knows the name and loves his Father's favorite song.... What a surreal moment!

I’m glad she’s no longer suffering from that wretched illness known as Alzheimer’s. I know she’s been reunited with all of her loved ones. Although she didn’t know who we were for those 2 1/2 years, I believe she knew who were were during the last couple days she was with us. We told her it was ok to go. We told her there’d be a glorious reunion. We played beautiful music n we held her hand as she took her last breath n was born into heaven. Thanks for reading this. I think it just hit me that she’s gone. I’m gonna go n grieve now n it’s okay. Reading your beautiful comments inspired me to go deep.

You sound like my eldest grandkid. She and her siblings (if they show an interest like she does) stand to inherit around 10,000 or so albums and cassettes from me (about a quarter of which came from my own parents). When I was young (80s into 90s) I was an honorary roadie for so so SO many bands (because I had a vehicle and valid driver's license, knew how to do stage hair and makeup if necessary) in NYC/NJ. I attended both USFestivals in CA: Crazy Times. Music was my LIFE. My children didn't have TV, but they had their own stereo systems to listen to tunes... Yeah. We old farts DO go on, don't we? ha ha TY for listening/reading. One way to find good music is to hear the background music vs dialogue in a lot of shows/movies. A friend in the UK had also turned me onto some really fantastic music, outside the US bubble. Have you tried Khruangbin (live at the Pitchfork) and if you like older music that sounds fresh, Mother Sky by Can is groovy as is Vitamin C. Oh, and there's an entire album by the Sound Defects, Iron Horse. I think you will thoroughly enjoy both of those. I'd provide links, but it might get flagged. Let me know how it goes! x

Like when I get to 60 I might hear that one of my friends died that I cut ties with 40 years ago, not knowing how their lives went would really hurt.

I wish artists of today can create a song that rates with this masterpiece. Simple melody with outstanding harmonies. It still moves people as it did in 1975-76

@@iremtanrgoz8330 --You are a very deep thinker. Especially, for only being 16-years-old! You sure have me beat in that regard. I was clueless at 16. I wish you a very long, & very happy life. I didn't stay in touch with so many wonderful people I knew throughout the years, & I do regret this. Some people, Irem, you will need to remove from your life. You WILL turn around someday, & you'll be 60-years-old, & you'll wonder: "HOW THE HELL DID I GET HERE?!?" "Is this my beautiful house?" "Is this my beautiful wife?" (LOL! A reference from an old Talking Heads song.) Anyway, do TRY to stay in touch with the worthy people who WILL come in, & out of your life. Some will seem completely uninterested. But, don't let that discourage you. When y'all both get older, they will be thrilled, that you're still around. You have a huge advantage over my generation. For staying connected with people. Because of WiFi. Try to remember this: People will lose touch with old friends, & FAMILY! When things are going poorly in their lives. We get embarrassed, & don't want anyone to know what happened. Just let the worthy friends know that you don't care what they did. That YOU just would like to stay in touch with them. Don't let FEAR of change keep you from traveling, or moving to NEW places. BEST WISHES TO YOU.

Pamela Harrison so sweet, so bittersweet, but you had those moments together.

I remember in the 70's late night hoping for a cloudy night so my A.M. radio would pick up WLS out of Chicago. Especially on a weekend to listen to Wolfman Jack. Living in Western Kentucky that was a big thing. All these songs bring back so many great memories. I was born in 59 and had three older sisters so all i heard was music.

[@jimdonovan5520]

Loved the Big LS!

[@kenkorall9620]

I'm from Winnipeg. Also listened to WLS from Chicago.

[@shirlthegirl631]

Tim, I’m only a yr older than you…grew up in a rural area of Middle TN, and also listened to WLS Chicago on my AM radio at night. Seemed like that’s how we “kids” in small towns knew about new songs! Good times.

[@donnewton415]

SW Virginia, listened to WLS and WABC at night. Often, we'd pull the soul stations from Memphis for a shot of that sweet soul music. I've always thought that this experience was local to me! When Red Octopus came out, I was at Ft Bragg living the life! When I hear this song, that's where I go. . .

[@timgallimore1678]

Hey Don, I moved to Kentucky in 74 with my parents from SW Virginia. I was born in Wytheville. Were you anywhere close?

[@leviirving3541]

One badass song ! Can’t not get tired of this classic 🤘

[@juliereminiec4937]

RIP Marty Balin ....You had a beautifully distinctive voice..it'll never be forgotten

[@victorwasright8382]

i like how grace slick's voice cuts through, even when she's way in the background.

[@jamessutton4819]

I always thought she hated the background so it's probably not an accident!!

[@dawnjohnson5162]

Love it

[@akm2743]

Nobody puts Grace Slick in the corner. 😜

[@jay17102]

But it was Marty , not Grace

[@jessieessex]

if we didn’t hear her this would not be the art that it is

[@frogwizard5637]

I am so thankful i was raised in this music. It shaped us in a way no other music has since

[@DexterBrown-cs9vl]

After all these years, I can still see myself in my little room back in the 70s and hearing this AMAZING song. I never knew who sang it, I just remember how GREAT it was.♥️

[@steveblockley9938]

That's me too. Listening to this was very moving. None of my friends were into this so it was very personal and sort of secret. Brings back memories of being a confused adolescent. Still love it.

[@gregorylapointe4157]

I was 18 when this song came out, brings back good memories of me and my girlfriend.

[@longhairscorpio3976]

R.I.P. Marty Balin

[@donnamahan5503]

This song is mesmerizing still to this day - you haven't really experienced music if you haven't heard this song - thank you Marty Balin - May you RIP

[@peopleskarmasquad1042]

Marty is dead???

[@markmahan5119]

Donna,are you kin to me!

[@snotzboy]

Born in 1970, my parents played all of these great songs when I was very young and they left a huge imprint in my mind, heart and soul...this one in particular

[@differenceofexistence]

Yeah. I was born in late '69, and this is probably the first song I remember.

[@rebeccaabel4589]

I was in 1970 but l remember listening to this fine song on the radio.

[@michellewarren6658]

Same with me. Born in 1970, Will be 52 on Nov 25th. I used to love having the house to myself, would listen to their albums & have myself a good old time 🎉

[@alter709]

Same here !we were old enough to attach awesome memories to this amazing musical decade

[@robbiewilliams6136]

Then you had great parents.. kudos!!! Lovestarship
