@devilinbluejean all the songs in youtube, as long as it is not deleted by uploader or someone else, will and might be listened to in 2012 and beyond. no BIG surprise in that. unless of course, the doomsday is coming soon.
I was in san francisco with my wife in 1967 and luckily we met grace slick at a party there. She'd invited us over by way of thanks for our hospitality when she stayed in our dutch house in amsterdam for 2 days in 1966. She was SO beautiful at that party, and it was clear that she WAS a former model before joining the music scene. Hell, even my wife fancied her then and my wife wasn't and still isn't gay!
The singer in this band is really amazing. She´s hot and she´s got one of the coolest voices in the world. I never realized this before. The power and feeling she puts in this song is mesmerizing...Holy Crap..
I´m sober right now but for some reason I just want to get drunk, and dance naked when I hear this...
@grimlund Two words: THE BOMB! Grace Slick killed this song! She was one of the most mesmerizing women in the business and her vocals were on point! She is retired today but she was amazing back then. I was in 7th grade when this was out and I played it to DEATH! My daughter heard this on a show on cable and she was like, who is that singing? That is slammin! So I went to UTube and found this and she plays it everyday now! LOL!
this was a time before cops would drag you out of the audience for lighting a joint and because of that I pratically quit going to rock and roll concerts at the Municipal Auditorium.
@unclesam328 Hee, Hee... this was during the time that Pot was a felony and Acid was a misdemeanor... Now...? You can't even GET lysergic acid on the open market, you have to make it your self... :-(
I love this song and I always loved Grace Slick. I screamed and whooped at a Jefferson Starship show to get her attention once and she looked right at me and smiled. I was young so it made me happy! She has a great voice. She never moved around much on stage back in those days though!
Se was gorgeous and probably wouldn't look out of place even now. Beautiful face and eyes. I think girls like her had an air of mystery about them, and they were more "ladylike" than the modern miss. Not so self obsessed either!
@mcerese911 She is clowning around. They had to lip-synch as was common in that time period due to the high cost of electronics that were needed for live performances.
@John1948SIxC. Clowning around for sure. But if they could affort a camera to record this video im sure they could affort a mic for her. More likely the org sound from that concert was lost or cut out at some point. Lovely clip, thx
"Who's the lead singer?" someone asked. R U kidding????!!!! :-( Spend more time on Youtube and get educated about real rock and roll. It's not all about Justin Bieber & Beyonce.
I still have hope that maybe Grace will change her views and do one more tour with the Airplane. Yes, I know we would all love some time to go back to the 60s. A movement similar to that of that era is building quickly....
@RumbleHD "Somebody to Love" was written by Darby Slick and originally recorded by 1960s folk rock band The Great Society and later by the Jefferson Airplane. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Jefferson Airplane's version #274 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Grace slick was the singer for The Great Society and Husband at the time was Jerry Slick - on drums and Jerry Slicks Brother Darby Slick - guitar, backing vocals who wrote Someone to Love and then Grace Slick quit The Great Society and then was Vocalist for Jeffersons Airplane and Re-recorded Someone to love and changed song name to Somebody to love
Grace Wing was working as a model in a San Francisco department store when she hooked with the drummer, whose last name was Slick and whom she married.
@SOG2004 That's probably because the focus was on the music rather than the image back in the day. There was a lot less video and we relied much more on the audio.
@yamahabib Except me! LOL! Didn't do drugs then and now work in a Drug Residential Center as a NP/RN and most of the clients did do drugs during that time. Ever see an old dopehead?
@yamahabib well, we had to expand our horizons somehow, Viet Nam was the only thing going and the last 40 or so years of the American family seemed a rather dismal plight to a lot of young people. they were high to escape their own personal tragedy, and their countries.
@SOG2004 Grace Slick was a former model and she was beautiful and could sing! This song was and is the bomb! I played this so many times growing up! My children love this song and this group. Grace's voice was a KILLER! She could hit notes that didn't exist! I was in grade school when this was out! This brings back so many memories of growing up on Long Island in the late 60's and 70's.
Here's a band who broke up 40 years ago, and their music still inspires the young people who aren't blinded soundwise by all the Pop Shit, that is why Jefferson Airplane is a music legend
@ycanada true, but remember back in the late 1960s most acts lip synched or mimed because of the technological limitations, it could also be because the acoustics of the studio were crappy. But miming isn't a good thing to do if you are a great act like Jefferson Airplane was
@ycanada Well actually Grace was very upset that she had to lip sync. In protest, she sung into an electrical plug rather than the microphone to let everyone know that she was lip synching and not proud of it. Look closely in the video, you will see the plug.
@Breatherable Yes, and for TV shows it also had much to do with the quality of their electronics. Ed Sullivan's studio could easily handle live performances. Dick Clark's studio could not. It took a pretty big budget to have a lot of "live" performances.
Great song, full of vigor and vitality, and a very unique voice. Who sang it? Was it Signe Anderson or Grace Slick. I got confused as they appear to have similar voice and singing style. Thanks!
No comments? Damn. You have an excellent article in the description and everything. Great song, great band. Thanks for putting this up, and good luck to you with getting more hits.
