Mickey Thomas singing this live and not missing a note.

You appreciate good music, regardless of what era it comes from. That's the way it should be. Thank you for being here........

You right Jayvee, it's NOT easy to perform that way. For Mickey Thomas, maybe it is because he's doing so smooth and effortlessly, but man every note and every phrase is pitch perfect, and the topper is the TONE his voice has, it's just soooo nice... I can listen to this song every day.

This is what I like about the 70's and 80's and before that. Singers back then could actually sing. No help from voice digitizing, or auto tune and all the bs. Just real, raw, music.

Singer is Mickey Thomas. This song brings back memories from the 70s. The guitar player is Elvin Bishop. Mickey sang with Jefferson Starship. Awesome song!

Mickey Thomas has an incredible voice! He is one of the rare few who sounds better live than the recorded version. His vocal range is amazing! He still gives me chills like he did in the 1970s as a teen. I love this song! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

When I sang in a band, I could hit the notes and stay in key, but it was work. The EFFORTLESSNESS in Mickey's performance is incredible. It's like he's out for a walk. People don't even know.

Mickey Thomas is the lead vocalist here... He later became lead vocalist with 'Jefferson Starship'!

Definitely time to react to Jefferson Starship “Jane”. Micky can sang!!!!

Classic rock jam from the middle 70's. I feel blessed to have grown up listening to fantastic music like this ☮️

Mickey Thomas ........stellar vocals!!!! ♥️

Jayvee it's the 70's man!! Best era ever for music, in any genre. Awesome!!

Elvin Bishop, the guitar player wrote this song, but he didn't think his voice could do the song justice, so he asked Mickey Thomas, one of his backup singers, to sing. The rest, as they say, is history.

Mickey Thomas, the singer, joined 'Jefferson Starship' shortly after this, they have many hits, check out 'Jane'' by Jefferson Starship.

Not many reactions to "Jane" by Jefferson Starship...not sure why...it is one of the quintessential rock songs and one of the greatest rock vocal performances ever. That one will show you what Mickey can really do.

Reni Slais-backup, has an awesome voice! Let’s give her some props here! She and Mickey sound great together.

I think he's still out there (at least he was a few years ago) singing and hitting those high notes. Amazing voice!

This has to be one of the best live performances of a song I've ever heard

His voice is insane man love this song

Before going solo, Elvin, the guitarist, played second guitar in The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. His song as a solo artist, “Traveling Shoes”, jams!

If you made it back then, everyone's voice was amazing. That's why it was the greatest era of music ever.

The best voice you never heard of.

yes...he is a great singer. this performance is amazing..Dan, Washington State...

Great song and reaction! The singer is the fantastic Mickey Thomas! Elvin Bishop is the guy playing the guitar solo!

Another great performance from The Midnight Special. Miss staying up late to watch it and also Don Kirshners Rock Concert.

Jackson Browne please......maybe “Running on Empty”....or Bob Seger’s “Against the Wind”.....kind of perfect songs for now....

Back then, singers had to be able to sing. Now we have singers who look great but, as my mom would have said, can't carry a tune in a bucket.

"Fooled Around and Fell in Love" was included in the soundtrack album for Guardians of the Galaxy titled Awesome Mix Vol. 1.

Aren't you glad you've learned about a whole new generation and genres of music?

Mickey Thomas grew up in GA and hung out with the greats, in terms of blues and R&B. He has the soul down and his voice is great even today!!!!!

It is great to see someone discover great blues rock!!!!!!!!

Some song facts: The lead vocalist of this song is Mickey Thomas, who later went on to join the "Starship" band. Elvin Bishop is the blues guitarist who was inducted into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of fame in 1998. xoxo

This performance is so great! I wish it was twice as long! ✌

Micky Thomas's vocals are amazing. A natural born vocal maniac...

For 70s smooth. Gotta go with Ambrosia "How Much I Feel", "Biggest Part of Me", "You're the Only Woman"

It's Mickey Thomas on lead vocals. And his voice was definitely amazing. He sang with some other bands (as Neil Esposito says "Jane" by Jefferson Starship is a notable one). Even when he wasn't singing lead, you could ALWAYS identify him -- no mistaking that amazing voice.

Mickey Thomas at the end...🎤 DROP! And I LOVED your reaction! You so appreciate great, awesome talent and I love watching you, watch something amazing and I couldn't agree more!!👏

I was 18 when this came out in the UK. It was one of the classic ‘end of the night’ slow dances, with Mickey Thomas’s vocals so spot on that many a couple began their romance to this ballad. It came back into the spotlight when it was used on the brilliant soundtrack of the film Guardians of the galaxy, (starring Chris Pratt) and rediscovered by at least two new generations! The soundtracks to Guardians one and two give new life to some great classics, you should give them a whirl Jay, there are some gems in there. Bless you for helping to keep some kind of normality going in strange times!🥰🥂

Mickey has more talent then almost every singer out today . His vocal range is top notch its effortless and perfect every time .

i graduated high school in 1976.was on the radio a lot,we had so much good music back then.i still have every 45 record i bought,and i bought a lot of them back then

Yayy!!! Thank you for listening to this!!!! Im so happy you like my suggestions xoxo ❤️🌹 xoxo

1 of my all time favorites!🙌🏻

Man I'm 60 yrs old and I remember this group but those outfits oh Lord...loved this

Awesome performance. Elvin Bishop on guitar.

No auto-tuning! That is what they call..."gettin it done"!

You need to buy a great big steak dinner for whoever recommended this to you, because they sent you to one of the best performances you'll ever see. Mickey Thomas' singing is effortless, simply effortless and that's the hallmark of 100% talent. BTW, this performance was from a TV show called "The Midnight Special". If you want to see some incredible performances, look for episodes of this TV show. Everyone performed 100% live and there are just some unbelievable performances. I'm glad you liked this one so much!

Man we had it all. Midnight special, Don kirshners rock concert, followed on saturdays with american bandstand and soul train, 70s by far the greatest era for music

Mickey Thomas is one of the most vastly underrated vocalists ever. That may have something to do with his very wobbly choice of material over the years. This great song here may be his signature vocal, and it proves without a doubt that this man had a tremendously soulful voice, but if you really want to hear this man cut loose, if you really want to hear this man slay and kill, check out his vocals on "Silent Night." (with the Elvin Bishop Band) Yes, it's the classic Christmas song, but Mickey turned it into a soulful, foot-stomping, gospel-ized, earth shaking, get-cho-ass-outta-yo-chair-and-start-moving type of song. It's not only his greatest soul-shaking moment, it's one of the greatest soul-shaking moments in the history of music. Look it up here on KZfaq .... and thank me later. lol

Hey Jayvon, I feel sorry for your generation not being able to experience this level of musical greatness in concert, but glad you are able to see and share these amazing performances w your subs. I got to see Elvin Bishop as the opening act for Heart on their 80s BeBe Le Strange tour. They warmed up the audience w a 45 min set closing w this song (save the best for last). What a great night of music...

One of my favorites in the 70s

Great reaction, you should checkout Jefferson starship too Grace Slick another amazing female singer 😊

Elvin Bishop NOW "Old School" live at Dimitrious' Jazz Alley.........not to be missed!!!!!

I've loved this song since I heard it as a teenager in 1976, still adore it just reminds me of those day's I miss so much! ✌❤

He is amazing! Another great from my day....Lol ❤️

Elvin's the one with the cool solo. A real favorite song.

I love how you love 70’s music!

One of Rocks' greatest ever voices, Mickey Thomas' vocal range and power has been matched by exactly who else? Be very careful with any names you add to this conversation!!. Check out both Jane and Sara by Jefferson Starship with Mickey singing lead. You'll love both. Love watching your reactions when you hit on the real genuine gems I will never tire of!

Elvin Bishop was my favorite when this album came out I played it till it wouldn't play anymore, drove my friends crazy 😉Thanks for bringing back great memories

Along the same vein, please also check out Boz Scaggs. fyi, Elvin is the one in the tan suit on guitar (left).

Such a beautiful song. Takes me way back to beautiful memories of my teen years. Mickey Thomas’s voice is incredible.

I was a Junior in high school and loved this song! I'm 60 now but still feel 16 when I listen to this.

You’d also love hearing and watching Meatloaf sing live “ Two Out of Three Aunt Bad!”

His voice is seriously over the top...

Dude can SAAANG !! GR8 reaction J. Muchluv n propsbro. Luvd this on radio as a kid !

mickey thomas also sang with jefferson starship or just plain starship.

That's Mickey Thomas singing. Elvin Bishop in tan suit playing guitar.

Mickey Thomas joined Jefferson Starship later. Check out: Jane Layin' It On The Line To hear some more of his great vocal range.

Elvin Bishop blew a whole lotta eardrums in his day!

What a voice!!! Great song and reaction :)

Yes, he put some stank on that guitar solo! I love this song. I was a little girl when this song was out but to this day, it takes me back. This folks is what real talent sounds like! Thank you for this video

I just enjoy so much your reactions . I am very familiar with this song and yes many of us fooled around and fell in love !

Elvin Bishop gained renown as an original member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 1964 and went on to star in his own touring band, rocking folks all over the US for 45 years to this day. He is recognized by guitarists as one of the greats and his powerful, tasty, and thoughtful rhythm and solo work here shows why. Check the diminished chord at 5:56. Mickey Thomas' stunning vocals, along with the great band, made this number an instant R&B classic. I saw him do this live at the Aquarius in North Seattle in 1976. You should have been there! Your reactions are great.

The beauty of the 70s was that there wasn't really any theatrics just great songs, great voices and charisma. And really that's all you need. Let the audience do the dancing. Lypsynching isn't a skill, it's a ripoff you never see the old dogs doing it, it would be beneath them. And don't even get me started on auto tune haha!

lovve jayvee.... what an educated appreciator

I remember this song well but never saw him sing so nice to put the two together. One of my favorites from that era.

Elvin Bishop himself is playing the red guitar. He is a phenomenal jazz/blues guitarist. Mickey Thomas singing. He went on to sing with Jefferson Starship.

My sister had this album back in the day and she wore the grooves out. I especially remember Calling all Cows .....

you've quickly become my favorite thing you KZfaq. Thanks

He came out of Georgia! Now go listen to him sing Jane with Starship... Hes incredible! He does fooled around on Howard Stern a few years later and still nails it!! Mickey Thomas is incredible!

A flawless performance. Mickey Thomas' voice is ridiculous. I think this sounded better than the record. My first concert was in 1977 and Elvin Bishop was part of the lineup. I still remember them singing this song. It was very exciting for a 14 year old girl 🤗 I could put this on repeat and just let it go 😌

Always loved this song.

ENJOYED,and for sure REAL SOUND,GREAT job your doing,mix the TIMES!🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾☘☘☘☘🇺🇸STAY WELL AND KEEPP THE MUSIC GOING!🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️☘☘☘☘☘☘BROAD CASTING

That is the wonderful Mickey Thomas on lead vocal. He was in Jefferson Starship and Starship. Check out Jane by Starship... Classic!

Whew!! What a Voice♥️ This song has always given me a chill. Just his voice alone is so powerful but those lyrics Wow! Loved your reaction and love that you have a way of really tuning in to the instruments and really finding the value in an artist voice/vocals. Thank You for bringing back the Joy!!

This was all over the airwaves when I was in high school. Mickey Thomas has quite the voice and was one of the lead singers for Jefferson Starship, they have many hits. Try listening to "Jane", great jam!

If you like that song JayVee, you would have LOVED growing up in the late '60's to the mid '80's, the golden age of rock and roll and music in general...

Happy Sunday J good to see you, still waiting for you to listen to Chuck Berry 'Maybellene' live 1958

Ive heard the song before but never saw the video. Wow, what a voice and Hulk Hogan on the drums. Great reaction👍

Timeless classic ♥️♥️🎤🎤

Love it-- always have!! Still rocks!!

Never heard of you, but you have a great ear, you know music! 🥰🥰🥰

I really liked it when my favorite male singer, Rod Stewart, did his own cover version of this Elvin Bishop song.

One of my all time favorites from the 70s.

Micky was one of the lead vocalists for Jefferson Starship. Great vocalist....

Mickey Thomas :flawless pitch and diction. Absolute vocal mastery. But the denim jump suit ? Poison ! Hahaha.

That's Mickey Thomas. One of the best male singers. Underrated for sure. He was also killing it in the group Starship!

I was 8 years old when I first heard this song and to this day it's still my all time fav song!!!!

one of my all time faves!

Mickey Thomas is the lead singer in this video and he is my all time favorite singer. You totally need to check out Starship: Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now (the band he was in the 80s!) This video makes me so happy 😀

Thanks for reminding me of this song.
