Path: Jefferson Airplane \ Biography \

Jefferson Airplane was the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rock groups of the 1960s, primarily the vehicle of guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and vocalist Grace Slick. They did start out with another vocalist at first, Signe Anderson, but due to a strong family commitment she was replaced by Grace Slick in 1966, originally from The Great Society. They then took a rather controversial path, adopting both the drug-taking hippie ethos and the left-wing, antiwar political movement of "hippie" counterculture. Grace was a big part of the band's commercial success, "White Rabbit" (written by her) and "Somebody to Love" (written by Grace's brother-in-law, Great Society guitarist Darby Slick) being the two most recognized tunes.

Jefferson Airplane didn't "officially" break up, but mutated into other configurations in Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship (sometimes commonly referred to as just "Starship") in the 70- and 80's, before reuniting for an album and tour in 1989.

Jefferson Airplane was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
