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.

Summer Of Love Lyrics
Jefferson Airplane
(by M. Balin)
The Summer Of Love was something special
We were so young and so free
The Summer Of Love that I was a part of
We had so many dreams
And even a few of them came true it seems
I still believe in all the music, and it's still playing
I still believe in all the words, ya I'm still saying
I still believe in all the people, they were really great
And I get to thinking back to where we all once were
The Summer Of Love had special people
Everybody was together so it seemed
The Summer Of Love had lots of changes going down
Looking back's like yesterday
And you can say it all was just a dream
I still remember all the good times
And boy let me tell ya we sure had a lotta them
I still remember the world was changing all around us
I feel like we could go it all again
The Summer Of Love was just the beginning
That's when the lines started breaking throught
The Summer Of Love is just a memory now
Even though those times are gone
The Spirit still goes on in me and you
