Marty Balin’s voice is FINE

Marty Balin was one of the most underrated singers there EVER was!!! His voice was magical.....

This type of song used to be referred to as “ baby making music “! So smooth it gives you chills

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 ❤

The miracle of intimacy, strings and orchestration of the heart,horns of happiness, the sensual vocal duet,it's all there

One of the most sensuous songs ever!

Asia & BJ, you'll love Jefferson Starship's "Count On Me" and "Play On Love"!!! Marty Balin - lead and backing vocals, wrote this song; Grace Slick - backing vocals; Paul Kantner - backing vocals, rhythm guitar; Craig Chaquico - lead guitar, backing vocals; Papa John Creach - electric violin; David Freiberg - organ, backing vocals; Pete Sears - bass, electric piano, backing vocals; John Barbata - drums, percussion, backing vocals; - Additional personnel Bobbye Hall - percussion, congas; Irv Cox - saxophone.

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 😁

One song I stop what I'm doing, just to listen to. Simply beautiful!

This song was composed perfectly with every part placed right. Listened to it in my teens over and over

One of the most sensual songs in rock

This song makes me remember my first love in 1975. I still cry everytime I hear it. You never forget your first love.

They were great to see them live, in concert. And yes, check out the lyrics to this one for sure. R.I.P Marty Balin

"I had a taste of the real world, when I went down on you." " You ripple like a river when I touch you, when I pluck your body like a string" "When I start dancing inside you" Ya'll missed it just like most of us did when the song came out.

In my opinion, the greatest love song ever written.

Marty Balin vocals .. Classic song , a Favorite since it was released..

"Stop lookin' at me like a little snack" BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Asia you're killing me, :). Dial it down, BJ, hehehehehe!! My favorite Jefferson Starship song! So glad you're reacting to the long version. I'm a sucker for a great horn/percussion groove. This is some of the best instrumental "solo" for a song BECAUSE it's not a guitar solo.

There is nothing to not like about this song! Music, vocals, and background singers totally killed it and set a perfect mood.

Great memories from a great group. My favorite of theirs, with Marty singing lead, is "Run Away". Mickey Thomas was another level.

I'm so glad you played the album cut. I've loved this song from the first time I heard it that I ran right out and bought the sheet music to it which I still have. And I thought I seen you catch the line ( I had a taste of the real world, then I went down on you).

"Run Away" is an underrated gem 💎

Love seeing Asia enjoying it ❤

This is Marty Balin on Spotify was fun to listen to yesterday, would've been his Birthday...he lived the end of his life near Tampa...he'd show up on a tiny FM station play a few songs and impromptu interview, kept low-profile...He took alot of lumps in his career, like for real got punched out in Concert, documented on Film!!!!! His style was so unique from Rock/Psychedelic.that put them all in Hall of Fame!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The change in Asia’s face starting @4:39 when she realizes what she just heard😂

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!

Loved this song back in 1978 & still love it today!

Miracles is the BEST LOVE SONG ever written and performed, tied only with Air That I Breathe by The Hollies!! Thank you for your awesome reaction!! 😊

"With Your Love" by Jefferson Starship next please!

Marty Balin had such a smooth and soothing voice. 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.

Miracles is all❤ Marty Balin. He will always be one of the greatest ballad writers in music.

A great song by them...one of my favorites...so many memories attached to this one.

I seen them live they were great. I still remember.

GREAT TUNE, YA'LL!! Glad you gave it a LISTEN!!! :) HUGS, YA'LL!!!

The two sets of ascending and descending notes heard at the beginning of the song were played on a Hammond organ through a Leslie speaker on tremolo speed setting (if that's the sound you were referring to). 🙂

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!

Remember: This is the same band that gave us "Jane".

One of the sexiest songs ever recorded!

Marty Balin knocked it out of the psrk with this marvelous song. Such a beautiful voice, a beautiful song. This was really a treat fot music lovers.

Checkout Count On Me and Runaway.

God, this takes me back. Sooooo 70s. Love it more every time I hear it.

Always loved this song by Jefferson Starship! check out their song - Count on Me

I have been fortunate enough to spend a good bit of time around Grace Slick in a business setting. She is a visual artist, and I was the event photographer for an art gallery that showed her work. 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!

I saw them perform this song live, it brought tears to my eyes, beautiful song.

They were Jefferson Airplane during Woodstock.

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite songs of all time!!! Grace Slick and Mary Balin are rock royalty. Priceless!😅 You guys are too funny!

One of my favorite Jefferson Starship tracks. Everything that Marty Balin sang lead on had an otherworldly, ethereal, even haunting, feel to it, giving one goose bumps. I know "Miracles" does that to me.

I really enjoy watching y'all. You both have captivated personalities. Where I think you're missing a lot is that you're not doing live performances. Not only are they more real, but they help keep our attention

My favorite ever! Marty & Grace sound like a piece of heaven! Get you in the mood music!! Also like their song With your love

Let's not forget Jane. Love that song!

This was my favorite song when I was 8 years old. Being so young I look back in surprise that I was able to appreciate this sensuous, mellow song so much. But I did, so much so that I went to a Jefferson Starship concert for my 9th birthday. It was my first concert ever.

I’m 62 and I’ve heard this for decades and I never knew it was them. Must of been all the weed and beer from that time 😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣

Asia's reaction on the long note he held towards the end with the saxophone kicking in. He got her there lol.

Great reaction. I have listened to this song many times, but never took notice of the “taste” lyric until I read the comments. Great night driving song. Great night time anything song. Thanks.

Asia during the sax riff: "Ohhhh!" Yeah, Oh indeed.

Brings back memories of a beautiful loving relationship. Lead male singer of Starship, Marty Balin, was the best. RIP. Thank you. Yes it's definitely an intimate love song.

Of ALL of the songs done by Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship I think this is the BEST of them... GREAT SONG!

One of the single most shameless, and un-abashed love song ever written/produced (right up there with the song, "Shameless" by Garth Brooks).

Who else listened to this in college and 50 years later still loving it lol

Ohhhh, I've heard this song a few times and never knew who sang it. It's so smooth :)

I love the line " I had a taste of the world when I went down on you girl" !😮

This song came out when I was first married in 1978. My husband loved this song. We had a tape of this song and played it all the time until it wore out. lol There's just something about it that is kind of mesmerizing. Thanks for doing this one. Hi from NYC. ✌

Another good one is Runaway

this and Runaway were two of my favorites! Marty Balin's voice is so amazing!

lol you two are so precious you make me smile. Yes I grew up with this song and yes you are correct the song is about making love and the miracle that it feels like to be with his Lady. Thank you for your reaction.

This song was absolutely huge when it came out, especially in the Bay Area where they are from. Some of the lyrics weren't allowed on AM radio though. The whole album is excellent with some interesting tunes on it.

My favorite song forever i love Jefferson starship listen to runaway

Classic song from Marty Balin and Starship. Listen at 4:40 into this song... Priceless....Marty..,..RIP....

Another GREAT song from the GREATEST ERA IN MUSIC---- The 70's!😅

LOVE!! This has always been a fave of mine! So happy y`all played this!

Incredible musicianship!!!

Band started as Jefferson Airplane (Woodstock festival) and split later in Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. Grace Slick was welknown from her songs White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love". Both bands are good on their own way. Thank you for this song. Brings back memories.

I still get goosebumps when I hear this song

Had to close my eyes and listen. Where's my time machine???

I'm newish to watchin reaction videos. Child of 1960 ya know. So we didn't have that...or color tv's or microwaves or well you get it. But to see young people enjoying what me and mine knew was amazing, I love it!

That's what great music can do. Possessing O'l boy... ha ha! Hopefully, they will react to more Starship classics. I love this group. Count On Me next?

Oh!!!!! I remember how controversial this song was at the time!!!

Everything was perfect 💯

Check out "Runaway"

The lyric video is a must when reacting to this song.

First time I heard this song, I was a Freshman in HS. Wasnt til years later and heard it again and I was like "oh ... oh...OOOOOh ... Okay 😅 Love😊

One of my favorite songs.

It's a great song. The only downside was where my mind wandered when a woman I knew said she had it sung at her wedding....in church...I guess the minister didn't faint from some of the lyrics.

I guess Christmas 1975, we got this album as a gift. From thev very first listening, I loved this song "Mircales" so so much, the entire album was a masterpiece IMHO.

I love Jefferson starship, I love the music. Back in the day I danced around in my bedroom at night when I played this song!

Saw them in concert with Night Ranger. Great show.

IF ONLY YOU BELIEVE LIKE I BELIEVE, WE’LL GET BY!

Check out No Way Out, Be My Lady, It's Not Enough, and Sara by Starship.

and it gets better every time you listen to it.

Marty balin was amazing, and I suggest one other song along with the others that have been, but... runaway is his soulful expression too. From the earth, album. Just my small opinion but so smooth

One of my favorites. "Sliding it in there" made me laugh. Yeah that's it.

Isn't this song just adorable ❤ Love the structure and the disjointed background vocals, been one of my favorites forever and since it was censored for radio I never heard the entire thing until my 20's when I bought the album

some musical arrangement; we used +o slow dance +o +his in 1975 ish in JR High

High school, 1975. The highs and lows of my first love. Never felt so alive.

There was a radio edit of this song that cut out almost half of it. I'm pretty sure the long version got played here and there though.

It crazy that this song review has so little views. Then the same day you review Tom’s Facts and that had tons more views. This song is crazy good- instant classic for you and the significant other to boogie down too. Shows how the music has changed over the years., and what’s missing from today’s music. Imo, love y’all’s channel ❤❤❤❤

Good love making music.

Got a taste of the real world when I went down on you. How that lyric got by the censors I will never know. Tasty line though!

Synthesizer on the opening Old Moog. You could get some great sounds out of them. A lot of the sound is backing vocals. They had 2 keyboard players on this. actually about 5 of them played keys. Most were multi instrumentalists and all songwriters. There is great variety of songs on this album due to having so many writers in the group.

Whole Red Octopus Album is really good. American was going through some times back then to be sure. Civil Rights Movement, Woodstock, Vietnam. Hippies, Rioting, Space Race and more. A great deal of incredible music came out during those times.

From the first album by Jefferson Airplane Marty Balin was lead singer for two great soft songs: Comin' Back To Me and Today. I'm sure you both will enjoy those long forgotten songs.
