That's Micky Thomas singing. He was Elvin's backup singer and after Elvin wrote this he realized he couldn't do the song justice, so he had Micky sing it. And then the next thing you know Jefferson Starship hires him as their new lead singer because Grace Slick was wasted so often they couldn't count on her any more, and he sounded quite a bit like her. The song "Jane" by Jefferson Starship was one of my faves. Then Grace got clean and they ended up singing a lot of stuff together, including some pretty irritating 80's fluff like "We Built This City" and others.

Fun story: I was browsing your videos with my dad (70) when he was visiting a few days ago. He saw this song and said, “hey that’s my college roommate - let’s watch that one”. His roommate in college was Mickey Thomas, who sang lead on this track. Eventually Mickey joined Jefferson Airplane and sang/wrote big hits for them as Jefferson Starship/Starship, but I never knew he sang this tune. My dad saw him play a few months ago and got to go backstage and the two caught up for a while and had some laughs...it had been nearly 50 years since they had hung out.. edit - my dad said he can still hit all those notes at 70

The story behind this is Mickey Thomas was in the same studio recording, and Elvin Bishop was playing this but just could not get the vocal down. Mickey heard it down the hall and popped in and asked Elvin if he could give it a shot. He did and nailed it perfectly. It took off and it showcased Mickey's voice and Elvin's guitar together even today they both still play together..

As Charlie Daniels said, “Elvin Bishop sitting on a bale of hay, he ain’t good lookin’ but he sure can play”. It’s hard to believe, but back then The Midnight Special & Saturday Night Live were about the only places to actually see the artists you heard all the time on the radio, except for maybe some music variety shows. This was way before MTV.

Excellent song Jamal..I wasn't a big fan of Bishop.I believe Elvin is the guy with the red guitarist .those smokin vocals come from Micky Thomas ..a triple A singer who had great success with Jefferson Starship and Starship in the 80s..check out Jane by Jefeerson Starship ..when ya get time..awesome banger of a song!

You're the second guy I saw review and respond to this performance. 💜 Glad you all love it as much as I do. Can't get enough, NEVER grows old. 🌿 Most of us did not realize all these years that it was Mickey Thomas singing those lyrics (a background singer) and Elvin Bishop is on guitar here (singer-songwriter, guitarist). Seems like in the big picture Mickey did not get the recognition and I bet he didn't get the paycheck either (royalties ++) that is besides his pay as a backup singer. Glad he's finally getting his due now. You're so right, he can S. A. N. G.!

Never seen this live version of this amazing song before. 2 legends: The great Southern Blues guitarist Elvin Bishop, and the amazing blue-eyed soul of Mickey Thomas, a good ol' boy from Georgia, who would of course join Jefferson Starship just 3 years later.
