Their best song by far. Balin's vocals are just magical mixed with Gracie and company's equally magical background and the arrangement is sultry and sensuous blending the strings, keys, percussion and guitar so perfectly. Possibly the "sexiest" song ever recorded. If this doesn't create a stir inside you, you're probably dead. Pure soul, just sublime ❤

Three things that really make this song: 1. Marty Balin's voice, especially when he really takes off near the end, going higher and higher, as the sax comes in 2. The overall smoothness and groove to go with the lyrics 3. Grace Slick's vocals... it's subtle, but knowing how powerful her voice is when she wants it to be, every time she says "Ooh baby", she sounds like a Ferrari in 1st gear, just touching the gas pedal, like she's gonna let it rip any second, but she holds it back (mostly), and the effect is amazing 😁

Ah, the 70's. This was one of the great Sex Anthems of the decade, and it's been one of my favorite songs ever since. Everything seemed to be about sex back then, and songs like this celebrated the sensual delights of lovemaking, the details, the tastes and smells and sounds of a lover. The sexy vibe, the bass guitar, how it climbs slowly up and up towards that final cry of climax - whew! Sex about pleasure instead of power - we worked hard to be as good at it as we could. Guys bragged about how long they could, um, _savor_ their ladies, something you never EVER hear anymore. SIGH There's definitely things I miss about the 70's!

Two songs he sang when with Jefferson Airplane are as good as this, if not better, but are rarely played, "Today" and "Coming Back To Me'', from the "Surrealistic Pillow" album, getting pushed aside by "White Rabbit'' and Someone To Love". They're both beautiful and haunting.

Omg this is my favorite song! In 2005 I got a iPod from hubby. You could see how many times you listened to a song. This was my #1 most played 1,340 times. I would fall asleep with headphones on repeat, I only had it for a year before sadly it got stolen! I don't think any one will ever try to redo this song simply because of the number of instruments used, and all the different vocals. Off the top of my head I know there were at least 3 types of guitars, the regular drums and the Congo drums. They used strings and someone told me once they used a zylophone. Not sure about that, but they also used electric instruments like the violin and piano. The best part is the. Saxophone especially with headphones! I counted the number of times they said baby but i cant remember it now. I had the vinyl record but lost that when my house burned in the wildfire. God my entire record collection was destroyed. sighs.... Best line "you ripple like the river when I touch you," I get goosebumps everytime. This song had 2 lengths the shorter version was played all over. Radio, grocery stores, doctors offices, elevators, and even when you were put on hold calling some place. Best song ever!

She's very funny, and has of course amazing stories to tell. For two years 2011 & 2012 she came to the gallery for two nights. I took photos of her with clients with their purchases and general crowd shots. The first thing I ever heard Grace Slick say was 'git 'er done!
