Grace Slick: Rock & Roll History
October 30. 1939: Grace Slick was born.
Gracie is probably my favorite female vocalist of all time. After performing in The Great Society, she fronted the classic 1960s San Francisco band the Jefferson Airplane and, later, the Jefferson Starship.
The legendary rocker brought a couple of classic songs with her to the Airplane, most notably “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit.” Both of those tunes appeared on the band’s second album, the brilliant Desert Island Disc Surrealistic Pillow.
Gracie is also fortunate to share a birthday with my phenomenal, beautiful & brilliant twin daughters, Alex & Rachel. Happy 14th birthday, girls!
