alexmacpherson's moral center, I went YouTubing for Grace Slick over on the first Peel thread. I'm reposting my results here. A crucial player is Jefferson Airplane's bass player, Jack Casady: truly unique, would play improvisatory licks from a basis of funk and soul, but since the licks didn't come with the label "FUNK and SOUL," no one quite noticed this aspect, though it explains why the Airplane were danceable. (But nonetheless evidence on YouTube is Jefferson Airplane were sometimes the soundtrack for the worst dancing in the history of the universe.)
Here's my favorite Airplane song (the YouTube guy did a weak rip unfortunately, so turn it up), Marty rather than Grace singing lead. Listen to what happens after a couple of stanzas when the bass comes in:
Jefferson Airplane "If You Feel"
( And here's Grace )
( Comparison to Fleetwood Mac )
