The other singers of my era of the 1960s I just didn't think Slick had much of a voice. The others actually had the Pipes. The are singers and then there are REAL singers. Slick was mediocre. Like male singers. Mark Farner, Ian Gillian, David Byron etc... These guys had some awesome voices and knew how to use their vocal chords. Some screech into the microphone and they call it singing. It's not. That's all I'm saying. Nothing to get angry about.
@Longshotsblues If you try and quantify singing, gauging when she's off-key or not and whatever, Grace may not even be a *good* singer. I don't claim to know that. You seem to believe that's what makes music good. I think that's sad. There's something in her voice that I relate to, so I don't care if she's not technically flawless. So, yea, Grace is a good singer.
I always thought Gracie Slick's voice was horrid. The Airplane had a lot of great songs, and some fit her. But this woman was not a singer.
Now Patti Santos of It’s A Beautiful Day, Janis Joplin of Big Brother and as far as that goes Nancy Nevins of Sweetwater all could of blown Slick off the stage. Compared to these pipes Slick was a wanna be.
@Longshotsblues i respect your opinion. mine is this: grace slick doesn't have the best voice, but i think she sounds better than janis joplin. i think janis joplin is the worst professional singer i've ever heard, even though i like some of her songs.
@Longshotsblues I say her voice was perfect for the times...the 60's aint about being pretty or operatic......IT WAS ABOUT FUCKIN UP NIXON AND HIS ASSHOLE WAR!!...THE AIRPLANE did it right
memories of OLD FRISCO,when a few rented lavish victorians FOR NOTHING,nobody worked much,if ever,eat,smoke,party,screw,cry trippin knowing that THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE A NIXON,A WAR WE WERE JUST SUSPOSED TO GO TO,AND KILL,AND DIE,now i see how lucky we were,we told the reagans,repiglican liars,evil death military,SCREW YOU,WE WON'T PLAY THAT SHIT
