Somebody to Love & White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane - medley version

Hello, dear listeners and viewers, music-lovers!
Dhibannour presents: another upload coming from my heart, another specialty ...

The band: Jefferson Airplane (later on: Jefferson Starship, Starship) is a U.S.-American (Californian) beat/folk-rock/pop music group belonging to the 'co-founders' of the so-called psychedelic rock music (also called 'acid' rock).

The long-play record: Jefferson Airplane's milestone album is their second one, "Surrealistic Pillow", released in the year 1967 and having great success 'worldwide'. This album contributed much to the musical sound of San Francisco's (and the world's) 'Flower Power' hippie movement and the 'Summer of Love'.

Two songs: Two very strong songs became famous break-out hits for the band, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", either masterpieces in pop music. To me, these two tunes were also among the electrifying 'mind-openers' then (1967, when I was young, 14).
The first one needs not much explanation; it asks and states that each of us humans needs to be loved and to give love; love is a kind of food that everyone needs for living.
The second one, "White Rabbit", is inspired by Lewis Carroll's fantasy novels "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass" (1871), mentioning the mind-expanding and size-changing drug/hallucinogen experimentations and experiences. The tune remembers Ravel's "Boléro" by its crescendo and partly Spanish touch.

Grace Slick: veni, vidi, vici! Coming from the group The Great Society, she plays/sings one year with Jefferson Airplane and already helps the band to the two super hit songs! (which are now presented again in this audio-video). Grace Slick was the band's 'treasure box' at that time. She wrote both-and-either fantastic tunes, and she was the strong, captivating, and beautiful (new) woman singer of the band, with her impressive voice and singing-style.

In the Web you can find good information about Jefferson Airplane and the staff as well as about their records and songs/texts. Remember Lewis Carroll's books, and do so with the films/movies "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) and actually, too, "Alice in Wonderland" (2010, by Tim Burton).

Enjoy the mood the music moves! / 'bye! Dhibannour
