Jefferson Airplane was the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rockgroups of the 1960s, primarily the vehicle of guitarist Jorma Kaukonenand vocalist Grace Slick. Initially, the female vocalist for the group was , 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. Rock historians have suggested that Grace Slick helped to break the mold of the typical female musician.

Common Market Madrigal Lyrics
Jefferson Airplane
(by G. Slick)
In your arms, in your eyes
I can see the Paris lights
And the warm Italian nights
Seems like summertime just flies
Through so many skies we've flown
So many lands we've come to know
And we watch our love just grow
Till the winter brings us home
No time gives us reasons for why it just goes by
And no man can stop the seasons
But so many men will try
We will travel thes ancient lands
And our minds will learn to fly
We will hear all the music of man
Learn to love before we die
In these lands ruled by kings
The enchanted princess sings
And all the fairy tales she knew
The seet lies we thought were true
But the castles on the Rhein
Never seem to mind the time
That will take them slowly back
Into history's memorized lines
Wooden shoes and tulips in Holland
English guards with medieval swords
Conquistadors and Spanish galleons
Vikings sailing the mountain fjords
We will travel these ancient lands
And our minds will learn to fly
We will hear all the music of man
Learn to love before we die
In your arms, in your eyes
I can see the Paris lights
And the warm Italian nights
Semms like summertime just flies
