  • Takes me back to the 70's when I was in the eighth grade awesome then still is now?

  • 1978

  • Can't stop listening!!!!!!!

  • For some strange reason, the main lyrics were repeating themselves (though innaccurately as "Shine On Me, Shine On My Love") over the last two weeks! Finally, I had to look up the song and was surprised to find that it was by Jefferson Starship and not Fleetwood Mac (I actually thought it was Christine McVie that sang it!). Marty Balin proves that he can sing with this haunting performance!

  • @Tboneator64 Too many words. It's okay. You're stoned. Open a window.

  • I do not think people really think of how talented this group really was. They had 3 lead singers who all had number one hits with the group. How many groups can claim that beside another highy gifted group....Fleetwood Mac. Marty Balin is such a beautiful singer here and on most of what he did........

  • If you look real close you can see a shotgun near Grace Slicks' feet!

  • Grownups!!!!!

  • Always one of my favorite songs........ Saw Starship in the '80's with Grace Slick as well. Couldn't remember if I went to the concert or not until I found my collection of ticket stubs... Must have been a really good one ;)

  • I love this song. This makes me really happy. I remember almost falling asleep at the wheel driving at night in a big rig, this song came on and it woke me up. My husband plays it for me when I am sad.

  • Emerald eyes, china perfume...caught on a wheel, lost in the feel of a love so sweet.....I wonder if I will ever have that again in my life.......

  • incredible song ¡¡¡¡ ohhh ¡¡¡ Remenbers ¡¡¡ great singer Martin

  • Love this song, brings back memories, some good ...some bad !!!

  • Why is Mickey Thomas in the f'ing picture?

  • @reverendjim1968 He is one the most overrated singers of all time.Ialso think he is a FAG.

  • I was only 7 when this song came out but it brings me such a good feeling. Thanks for sharing.

  • Amazing song! Brings back memories of a carefree life- so long ago....

  • Grace Slick was the beautious....rock queens rock on....

  • The background music, the voice, everything is so haunting. Love this!

  • me and my brothers had this on a 45 record and it was one of my favorites

  • Love, love this!!!!!

  • Beautiful love tune...thank you!

  • this could be starships best song!

  • Beautiful. They were so great during the 70s. When Jefferson left theStarship...I jumped off.

  • 28 people you can't count on!!

  • Heard this the other day in a Big Lots Store,over the speakers. I started singing along with it, and then I noticed other people walking by,singing it. Catchy song.

  • We know where 28 folks taste is

  • @MrJevrick Grace should be thankful for those "ballads" cause they made a shitload of money !!

  • I LOVE THEIR MUSIC....but then...i'm still stuck in the 70's! Best music then. model in video too perfect.

  • who's singin? Marty Balin- he is awesome!!

  • marty balin.....the backbone of this band always!

  • Wow the hair in this band is like a Cousin IT family reunion.

  • This song always reminds me of Main Street in Pittston PA during 1978.

  • i like this song

  • To TEEDEEISS,......I`m NOT sure the EXACT date of the release of Count On Me - By Jefferson Starship,...Maybe about the mid February - 1978,...I`m not sure the EXACT peak date,..Maybe about 05-13-1978 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Chart peaking at # 8,...I hope that helps you at on that account,....

  • LOVE Marty Bailn!! His singing is so soulful and just plain beautiful! Thank you Starship.

  • The family stone brought me here <3

  • This song - Count On Me - By Jefferson Starship got as high as # 8 in May-1978 on the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles Chart,..

  • @Hot100daze1976to1997 excuse my ignorance, but would you happen to know the EXACT DATE it was released. I sooo appreciate your help. THANX in advance! 1:36 am Sept. 5 2011

  • AFEEL GOOD HAPPY SONG!

  • Comment removed

  • One of my fav's!

  • summer of 77...

  • Made me fall in love again...

  • Beautiful harmony, great lyrics - just a wonderful ballad. I remember in high school making sure this song was on the 8-track when I was bringing my date home. They'd always scoot a little closer in the seat. :)

  • I think it was late 1988 around the holidays..a group of about 8 or so great friends together for a Xmas party and this song comes on the radio...we sang it with such emotion and feeling for each other ..great times...sadly they are all gone now..why can't the good times last forever?

  • @wccwmark74 There are always more good times around the corner. Always.

  • @littleeddiemunster I thought those good times would last forever. SHortly thereafter, she was gone and the friends were gone...think about all of them everyday and what could've been....My dying wish would be to have them all back together again...if even for just a second..

  • Absolutley AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I remember this song in Prison..

  • A Timeless Harmony...

  • beatiful song

  • Love it!

  • Beautiful and haunting song!

  • I was in Junior High when this song hit the airwaves! Great memories! Cool video!

  • I crank up the volume and play this song over and over and over. This really gets to me. Beautiful!

  • This will always remind me of my first love in Jr. High. I'm always thinking of you Joey Hobbs.

  • Me da lived down the street from these guys in San Fran!!!!

  • 1970, I hitched from London Ontario Canada to San Fran. The Starship concert that winter was one of the highlights of the trip.

  • my favorite all time song..ever...I owned this 45..wow I can't believe that..time flies by the these songs always stay with you

  • my favorite all time song..ever...I owned this 45..wow I can't believe that..

  • @Likeadiamondsnake same as you in SF....

  • Don't we all.

  • that's right..just ENJOY THE SONG....LOVE IT

  • Hey, Kids--go blog about your political beliefs...why not just enjoy the song here?!

  • @sahhan315 They can't enjoy real music they got the bieber brains. Ugh. 

  • Some people have more problems than others, no matter what song may be playing ... they are as free to write about their thoughts as you are to comment on them ... if you don´t want to read them it´s easy to skip them ...

  • This is a beautiful love song .... live it at that...

    I hate seeing political remarks where they don't belong...

  • @Ricabella1013 long drawn out sigh.... Agreed

  • Precious love

    I'll give to you

    blue as the sky and deep in the

    eyes of a love so true

    Beautiful face

    you make me feel

    lite on the stairs and lost in the

    air of a love so real ....

  • What a great song!! Gives goose bumps!! 

  • @annaramsey33

    WOW ME TOO

  • What I want to know is this: Why is it that I as an American, born and raised in Ca. USA. Can't get a job? I am dismissed or passed over because I am not an illegal alien from fucking Mexicorn? That's some bullshit. They come here and are treated better than the people that really belong here. Something is very wrong. Can't we as US Citizens start a Class Action Suit against the government for Discrimmination?

  • people who tout "conservatism" don't need to be listening to rock and roll.... they should stick to listening to televangelism, it's about as real as their politics

  • @prober45 Fuck off asshole!! I could say the same about liberals!! They shouldn't be listening to R -n- R! How about that!! I feel that televangelism is about as real as THEIR politics!!

  • @Hotrodd100 you're a real loser roddy... just like the party you believe in

  • @prober45 No- Actually, YOU are and so is YOUR party!! All liberals do is FUCK up everything!! - tax the shit out of everyone esp. the small businesses which are closing a lot of them, hate the military, detroy the free market which is the backbone of our workforce and creation of jobs, re-distribute the wealth around which is WRONG! , weaken our national security, suck at foreign policies... Should I continue?? I don't hate ALL libs - just the ones who believe in the stuff that I wrote here.

  • @prober45 NO - Actually YOU are the loser just like your party but the real sad thing is that you are so fucking brainwashed and mental, you don't even realize it!! Look at the history and you can see that hardcore libs FUCK UP everything!!!! BTW - Roddy? Where did you get that name from?

  • great song. shitty video.

  • Why are people talkin about politics xD Well to your politic conclusion the President actually has the minimalist of power in the government. All taxes and problems we face is due to the House and Congress, the President doesn't decide these things. Lol should've learned that in like 3rd grade.

  • These are true artists - muscians, singers and songwriters and this is becoming a rarity anymore. Thank goodness for groups like Mumford and Sons, Gogol Bordello to name a few.

  • JS hit #8 in Billboard, 5-13-78. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • i fucking LOVE this song

  • I love all their music....if Grace is singing in the song, it's a must have for me. I also liked all the music that came after this....Modern Times, Winds of Change, Software, Dreams, Planet Earth Rock and Rolll Orchestra and the JA comeback CD Planes and Things. I liked the starship with Grace but once she was finished, so was I. Back to the old stuff. LOL.....that's just how I roll...with Grace and Paul.

  • OMG thank God someone posted this! So sick of seeing that stupid Bruno Mars song with the same title.

  • Man I love song!!! How time fly by....

  • trilha sonora de o pulo do gato

  • I still have this album...in excellent condition...love it!!!

  • Grace Slick , she was very pretty, and beautiful woman

    

  • Grace Slick , she was very pretty, and beautiful woman

  • This was almost my wedding song. I'm glad it wasn't, since I'm divorced now and would barf every time I heard it. 'Still love it, and still hoping for someone I can count on! :-D

  • from Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship that most important single thread was Marty Balin...he had a lot of good songs..

  • god so beautiful

  • One of Starship's best. It always gives me the chills. When this album came out I ran and got it and played through two copies. Thank you for putting this in.

  • can't get any better then this except maybe heaven

  • How can anyone not like this?

  • we could count on pres. Bush but not this asshole , who by the way thinks he is an unaprochable god.

  • @unitedproductions95 - Really? After Bush absolutely ran the country into a ditch?

  • @lipby Excuse me dipshit!! but you are fuckin' wrong!!!! Look at the facts - Under Bush - Our economy was strong, unemployment was at record low AND he didn't weaken our defense systems!! Yeah, he spent too much in his last year BUT not even close to what this dipshit is doing!! Obama just doesn't get it - Socialism and Liberalism DON"T WORK!! The free market should control MOST things but Obama is destroying ours. He doesn't give a fuck about Israel & has spent trillions already! What a joke!!

  • @Hotrodd100 I love you hotrodd!

  • @cutsumslack Thank you (hotrodd100 blushing). (hotrodd100 salutes you too) :-D

  • @Hotrodd100 Ummm... There are a lot of us fuckers in cyberspace who don't give a damn about Israel! We give them $250 million every year, plus the US has neclear weapons in that country. Fuck the Goddamn 'Holy Land'! Fuck Israel and don't bother replying, I wont respond. But if you want to look like a stupid fucking american, keep on praising the worst president ever. Bush was a fucking joke that led to tens of thounds of humans being killed! You're not even a dusche, you're more like an enema!

  • @bonghitlover First off, you fucking pothead, learn how to spell - It's douche NOT dusche and it's nuclear NOT neclear!! BUSH is NOT a fucking joke. It's libs like you who FUCK UP this country!! Obama IS the joke with his radical policies that NOT only fucked up this economy from the start BUT are making it worse day by day!! #2 - Israel is our ally and we HELP our allies and for you to sit there and not give a FUCK about them is very SAD!!! Get off the weed!! Obama & Carter are the worst!!

  • @Hotrodd100 Why are you bored morons arguing about politics on a You Tube video of Jefferson Starship??? GET A LIFE

  • @tussiebussie Why don't you fucking ask unitedproductions95 that ques. instead of asking me!! I didn't start the shit!!

  • @Hotrodd100 Maybe you didn't START it, but you are just as pathetic as he is for engaging in it. Who argues on YouTube???? And I didn't read the convo, I have better things to do with my time. Now, make sure you keep commenting, since you clearly DON'T have anything better to do. Internet THUG! HAHAHAHA LMAO what a loserrrrrrrrr

  • @tussiebussie No- Actually - YOU are the LOSER for involving yourself in something that you say you don't give a FUCK about - That actually makes YOU the bigger loser. It's actually really NONE of your fucking business what I, unitedproductions, OR anyone else on here does. That's actually a GREAT ques. - Why don't you not bother commenting to me about this shit!! It really isn't any of your business - Go finish whacking off in the corner or whatever you were doing before!! DIPSHIT!!

  • @unitedproductions95 Very well said!!! I couldn't have said it better myself!!! (Hotrodd100 salutes you and our soldiers)

  • @unitedproductions95 I agree and stand by you 100%!! (hotrodd100 salutes you and our soldiers)

  • 28 people can't be counted on.

  • 28 losers prefer wanking instead.

  • This fuckin song rules diba!

  • Marty Balin (sp) never was given the accolades his awesome voice should have received..The man was simply one of the era's most gifted vocalist

  • @evetsgolb

    Some of the old JA stuff sounds trite today but Marty's great songs are timeless, like Today on Surrealistic Pillow. You are right he never got his due, what a voice.

  • @evetsgolb back in the day it was totally recognized.

  • Great song.A long time I look for this song...Thank you for sharing.

  • Marty Balin great singer

  • I LOVE this song. Beautiful.

  • This song reminds me of Main Street in Pittston, PA circa 1978

  • Great Song from a Great long lasting Project ! Airplane and Starship Rock !!

  • awsome classic! ty for posting this song!!!!!!!

  • ***Thanks Paul, Grace, Marty & crew of the Starship*** Grace Slick 4 President !!

  • this the beatifull song and beutifull time

  • @fr40000 So true... 1978 was an awesome year ... for me, anyway. Lots of good music that year & that time period, late 70's.

  • @BeeCeereeus right on!

  • @BeeCeereeus So right you are! An incredible number of classic songs came out that year. Disco had hit its stride. Long Live Jimmy Carter!

  • and let's not forget H.A.R.P. which created Kitrina and the 8.9 Japan Earthquake. H.A.R.P. is a group of satilettes over Alaska that can cause anything (GLOBAL WIDE) in the earth and above the earth. The HOLY WORD says that: 'knowledge would abound in the last days' and it sure is. the american government want 80% of americans destroyed in the next few years. later

  • @NormanEdwardVail - the other half of this tendency is the continual suppression of new technology which could totally supplant the use of oil as fuel. -oh snap- i mis-spelled zeitgeist in a comment on your channel.

  • @NormanEdwardVail Do you really belive what you wrote?

  • Marty sure could sing...Gracie Slick naming her child god she's a mess

  • The mid to Late 70's, Had this style, ie: of Light Rock or easy listening Goin On. The Starship kept in Step w/ All of it . Also, kept The Edge On the Rock HARD Future. Very Versatile Band that Needs alot more Credit, For Writing some Great Stuff. This is almost a Country Ballad.

  • this old shit helps me to forget about the new shit.

  • @archie977 - LOL...summed up perfectly

  • I'm loving this song, always have.
