The exact moment you two heard Grace Slick's voice for the first time-WOW! The priceless expression on both of your faces! You're groovin', heads bobbing up and down in rhythm, and then- I'm a classically trained composer, and I've always noticed something interesting about this song. In composition we can write a marking of "crescendo" which means "start making the music louder and more intense." Usually this is followed by the opposite marking: decrescendo. Ebb and flow, right? One thing I've always loved about this song is that it is basically a 2.5 minute crescendo from beginning to end. It starts small and quiet. Very low range on Grace Slick's voice. But it just amps up from beginning to end, the voice reaching higher and higher, unrelenting. It's one of the reasons this song feels so trippy. It gives you that rush.

Grace Slick is an icon...from the mid 60's (here) through the 90's (Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship and a few solo albums) worth your time.

I’m really surprised someone didn’t recommend “Somebody To Love” as your first Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship. It really showcases Grace Slick’s voice much better. She has one of the most unique voices ever in Rock.

Smother’s Brother’s show was hated by the “establishment”. They were extremely cutting edge with their humor and had the most progressive rock bands of their era perform on their show.
@peaceonearth86933 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that's why the show was on one of the only three channels and went nationwide so everyone had the same and only that to watch. Very anti-establishment.

@jamesredman12633 жыл бұрын
They were gently critical of the establishment too. Not butt-kissers. The network chief was uber-konservative and if you weren't gushing praise for Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War he didn't like you and would have the junior execs tell you the mail was running six to one against you which was a lie. On Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers album, the liner notes included a lot of sarcastic cartoons and humor. One of those was posing as a quote from Tommy Smothers with every other word blocked out and the last word of the sentence was "tractor."

fyi: Jefferson Starship is an American rock band from San Francisco, California that evolved out of the group Jefferson Airplane following the departure of bassist Jack Casady and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen.

And later they morphed into Starship. Both name changes were for legal reasons when people left.

There were a lot of girls back then who had enough of all the BS. Their high school boyfriends and friends were being shipped off to Vietnam. Her stoicism isn't an act. That's the way a lot of them were. They were looking through the madness. A few years later Shocking Blue (a band from Finland with a female vocalist) had a hit with the song Venus. You can watch a video of it and you will see the same stoicism. Catchy tune delivered by a female staring through you. I loved those females. They were pissed off and above it all.
