I grew-up in that ‘60’s music era, great bands, great sounds.

You think so? I recall her getting lots of praise. From that era, I prefer Dusty Springfield, and Connie Francis from a bit earlier. That may have as much to do with song selection as anything.

I just heard this a bit ago in The Game with Michael Douglass.
Totally underrated song and movie.

Her life experience and voice was a good match for White Rabbit.

Grace Slick's voice is the most underrated singing voice in music history.

Hard to believe she turned 82 a couple of weeks ago (October 30th).

People think Keith Richards is going to outlive everyone. I'll bet Grace Slick buries all of them.

Pretty memorable for a song that is ONLY 2 MINUTES, 31 SECONDS...!!!!

IMO, Layne Staley of Alice in Chains has the most underrated voice/range in music history.

Fun fact: This song was the very first one ever played on K-SHE radio in St. Louis.

That’s a great song. As you probably know, Grace wrote it herself. The drumming and bass intro reminds me of a classical piece written by Maurice Ravel called “Bolero”.

Grace had a memorable voice perhaps because of the part she was playing. Sometimes her stage presence alluded to that of a Cassandra figure. Part of Greek mythology.
Cassandra was cursed for her ability to predict the future, but no one would listen to her.
White Rabbit sounds like one of those cryptic, strident warnings.

I doubt that.

Janis Joplin's voice is the most overrated though.

Here is a funny version of "Today" Grace's audio is not plugged in properly until one minute in. "Marty was singing but they filmed Grace.

Another Marty/Grace vocal hit, "Miracles" where Marty has the lead.

Somebody to Love and White Rabbit seem to be her best vocal work, but the songs are rather dated.
