It's actually a man singing the lead vocals. His name is Mickey Thomas, and he's got an amazing voice! Grace Slick is on background vocals. This song is EPIC!
Thank you for not stopping the music, really appreciate you waiting till the end to really getting involved in your comments! One of the most underrated rock bands of all times!!! Mickey Thomas is still The Voice👏👏👏❤
This is the best reaction video, because you guys reacted exactly as we did when we first heard it. When he said, "masterpiece" I was like alright... they get it ~
"Jane" was arranged as a rock hit by Jefferson Starship lead guitarist, Craig Chaquico. He wrote the guitar riffs and licks (and the solo!), along with the bass, drum and keyboard parts. He was instrumental in the hiring of Thomas after Grace Slick and Marty Balin left the band and wrote the rock arrangement to what had been brought to the band as a folk love ballad initially by David Freiberg and his writing partner, Jim McPherson.
So much drive! Mickey Thomas on vocals.- so well known for singing "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" with the Elvin Bishop band. "White Rabbit" is a psychedelic trip from their Jefferson Airplane years Thanks guys for the reaction!
The lead guitarist was in high school and one of his teachers knew some of the members of Starship and got him an audition with them. The rest is history as they say.
Grace couldn't have sung that to save her life...Mickey Thomas has the pipes and the soul. Listen again to the stellar drumming of Ansley Dunbar. A great mic and mixing job, too. Try 'Just the Same' off of the same album. Keep up the good work, guys! --bd
Lead guitarist, Craig Chaquico, arranged the song as a rock song, writing the key guitar licks and riffs, the drums, keyboard and bass parts, as well. It had been brought to the band by David Freiberg and his songwriting partner as a mellow, folk-style love song and Chaquico arranged it as a rock song that would balance off of Thomas's vocal range.
I had forgotten how much I like this song. And as David G Fisher noted, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love", which is such a feels song you will never forget it.
I've been waiting forever for you guys to react to this. I'm sure all the other commenters will sing you the praises of Mickey Thomas. They're all right. The man had a vocal range that was out of this world. This song has absolutely no fat on it. From start to finish it just kills.
@@vitus33 Both "Jane" and "Find Your Way Back," had something in common: They were written and arranged by lead guitarist Craig Chaquico (lyrics and music for Find Your Way Back and the rock arrangement on Jane-guitar, drums, bass and keys--by Chaquico)
Hey George & Patrick!! I noticed you said HER voice. It's a man singing - Mickey Thomas. That range, right? "Jane" is one of my favorite songs ever!! I used to play it every morning over and over while getting ready for school. Mickey's voice + the guitar = total banger!!

Just saw them (only 1 member left) in 2020 with the daughter of original (Jefferson Airplane) guitarist Paul Kantner and singer Grace Slick - China Kantner as backing Vocals . They opened for Blue Oyster Cult (BOC), check them out, listen to "Take Me Away" with guest guitarist Aldo Nova - "Fantasy" and BOC's newest video/song "The Alchemist" !!
How he sings. He also sung lead on "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" for Elvin Bishop. You should check it out. Also, check out Miracles by Jefferson Starship
Mickey Thomas is one of the greatest male vocalist I've ever heard!! His voice is so clean and powerful!! Just go listen to him sing " I fooled around and fell in love " by Elvin Bishop. Mickey lead sings on this track and it sounds amazing!!
The song was arranged by lead guitarist, Craig Chaquico. to take advantage of Thomas's range and to be a rock song vs. the mellow ballad that was first brought to the band.
When I saw the notification pop up for this song, I knew you'd enjoy it. Great song! I was in high school when this was released. Brings back memories of my youth. Thanks for the smile.
I had some time to kill in early '84 I think and responded to a last minute call on local radio in LA to attend a free concert for the forthcoming movie "Hard To Hold" starring Rick Springfield and Susan Sarandon at the LA Sports Arena. Rick Springfield played a few tunes - including "Jessie's Girl" but what wasn't announced was that Jefferson Starship would play a free concert. They played for two hours and it was back-to-back hits! It was badass! I was so blessed to see Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick bring it and then later see the movie. Very cool...!
Bro's, you'll love their "Miracles", "Count On Me" and "Play On Love". Keep in mind, first it was Jefferson Airplane, then Jefferson Starship and then just Starship. Lots of personnel changes, but Grace Slick was a fairly constant. edit - Jane has Mickey Thomas on lead vocals.
I knew you guys were gonna be blown away! Grace is background on this one. She is grey-headed but has long thick hair she keeps in a ponytail. She's put on weight, but that's what happens when we get older. She played hard! What an ass kicking song!
Mickey Thomas is the new lead singer on this song not Grace Slick........His voice is ridiculously great and high......Jefferson Starship went into the 80's with a new Rock n' Roll sound that met the Rock n' Roll sounds and vocals of the 80's......Remember guys this guy Mickey sang in the band that backed up Elvin Bishop...and you know Elvin is a terrific singer as well.......Yeah I love Jefferson Starship/Airplane.....
Grace is doing backing vocals, lead is Mickey Thomas, I believe. He kills it. You should follow this theme next with Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground.
Mickey Thomas is a fantastic vocalist, and if you want to hear the performance of his career, listen to guitarist Elvin Bishop's original, studio version of FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE. Elvin hired Mickey Thomas to sing on it, and it was pure magic.
The LP is named Freedom at Point Zero because Paul Kantner basically had to rebuild the band after Marty Balin and Grace Slick had left. Marty to his solo career while Grace (finally) went into rehab for her drinking problem. This is the most popular song from the LP, but Girl With the Hungry Eyes and the title song are both worth giving a listen to.
Hey guys, No, this was the first album (Freedom At Point Zero, 1979) to feature Mickey Thomas on vocals. After the previous album Earth (1978), both Grace Slick and Marty Balin left the group. Then the band hired Mickey Thomas. Grace Slick doesn't perform on this album at all -- she didn't rejoin the band for another two years, not until the next album Modern Times (1981) -- and on that platter she did only a single duet with Mickey and some background vocals. The album following that (1982's Winds of Change) is when her presence is really abundant and she sings lead on several tracks. One of my previous bands opened shows for these guys and on every occasion Mickey belted this song to perfection. Fantastic singer and an all-around nice guy :)
I’m trying to remember if you reacted to either starship doing “nothing’s gonna stop us now” which is very much a pop song and not a rock song but Mickey Thomas as always sounds great singing that too. Also wondering if you reacted to Elvin Bishop “fooled around and fell in love” because that’s who Mickey Thomas was with before he joined Jefferson starship and that is a phenomenal funky song
The members of Jefferson Starship in 1979 consisted of, Mickey Thomas, David Freilberg, Craig Chaquico, Ansley Dunbar, Pete Sears and Paul Katner. This a group that went through quite a few changes through the years, from members quitting to changing the name of their group. They were called Jefferson Airplane til 1974, then they changed their name to Jefferson Starship then Grace Slick left the band in 1978 then rejoined after member Paul Katner left in 1981 and THEN in 1984 they changed their name to simply "Starship". Before Grace Slick left the group in 1978 they did a song called "Count On Me" that was a hit for them. But, yeah the one who's singing hear is Mickey Thomas. Take a listen to a couple of songs from their early days of Jefferson Airplane like, "White Rabbit" and "Somebody To Love", even though they went through some changes, they were basically the same group minus a member at times. Sorry so lengthy but, if I was going to give you the story, it couldn't be helped. Awesome video reaction!
The great Ansley Dunbar on drums. He also played with Whitesnake , Journey and other bands. I believe he lost a coin toss to Mitch Mitchel to be the drummer for Jimmy Hendrix
Totally agree it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and a masterpiece. Mickey Thomas is one of the greatest singers ever. Have you reacted to Fooled Around and Fell in Love, Mickey on lead , Elvin Bishop Band. 🎉🎉🎉
If you want to hear the best Jefferson Starship ever I suggest side 2 of the album "blows against the empire." That's good Jefferson Starship. Trust me it'll blow you away
A HUGE thank you for reminding me how great ithis song is. I was 8 when this came out, and it's such a treat to see you react to songs I've known and loved for so many years. I get to fall in love all over again with the music of my youth ❤
The percussion is often overlooked in songs, but this one rips. Just listen to ehat all is going on in that drum set. MT also sang on Wet Eilly's Fooled Around (and Fell in Love), featured on Guardians of the Galaxy.
the person singing is David, he wrote the song and was a member of the starship. Great reaction guy, imagen being able to create a any song that would sound even half this good. I know what my songs would be like, crap. :)
Before joining Jefferson Starship, Mickey Thomas was in The Elvin Bishop Group. He sang lead on one of their biggest hits: "Fooled Around and Fell In Love." So that is a must-do reaction for you now. It's a very good song.
If you guys are running out of rock ‘n roll, you might try Swing’s ‘Sing Sing Sing’ by Benny Goodman and ‘Green Onions’ by Booker T. & the MGs. PB, 70, Long Beach, California.
I think I should make a semi-attempt at clearing something up. Jefferson Starship, the band as it’s known from 1974 to present, which was originally known (from 1972-1974) as Jefferson Airplane…… had 2 main/lead singers in it at the SAME TIME. 1 male and 1 female. And just to make things even MORE confusing, the male sung at a very HIGH- pitched voice! The man’s name: Mickey Thomas The woman’s: Grace Slick In the song “JANE” the lead was sung by the man (Mickey) and the background vocals were sung by the female (Grace) along with some other members of the band like guitarists and so forth. Mickey and Grace are both in their 80’s now. So,the band still performs, but with a mix of 3 original members, plus replacement members to include a female lead singer named Cathy Richardson. She’s in her 50’s and can really belt it out!! *But when you’re listening to their old songs, it’s really hard for an ear to distinguish the difference between the sound of male / female voice- especially of Mickey’s- unless you already knew who sang which songs.
Please react to more U2. 1) Pride In the Name of Love 2) Running to Stand Still 3) Where the Streets Have No Name 4) All I Want Is You 5) I Still Haven't Found What I'm looking For 6) Bad (Live Aid 1985) 7) Sunday Bloody Sunday 8) New Years Day
I as an Elvin Bishop fan and knew Mickey Thomas was going to get snatched up by a power rock band. I would have preferred him going to a different band than Starship but this song did give him a great platform. But I wonder how he would be perceived if he had gone to a harder rocking band. I suspect he would be considered up there towards the top.
It's actually a man singing the lead vocals. His name is Mickey Thomas, and he's got an amazing voice! Grace Slick is on background vocals. This song is EPIC!
This song is over 40 years old and it still ROCKS! 💯
DEFINITELY....
Sure does.
Micky Thomas has such range in his voice and does it effortlessly.
Oh, Mickey! His high, clear, powerful, perfect voice always takes my breath.
This is the type of song that when it’s over it leaves you wanting more🤘💯❤️✊🏽
Thank you for not stopping the music, really appreciate you waiting till the end to really getting involved in your comments! One of the most underrated rock bands of all times!!! Mickey Thomas is still The Voice👏👏👏❤
This is my absolute favorite song from them.
Omg, I love this song!!! 🤘
You guys would have loved them in concert….and the band they turned into also-Starship.Great and respectful reaction by you two again as always.
This is the best reaction video, because you guys reacted exactly as we did when we first heard it. When he said, "masterpiece" I was like alright... they get it ~
MickeyThomas on lead vocals-not a woman. Grace Slick on backing vocals.
This f*cking perfect f*cking song.....

So much drive! Mickey Thomas on vocals.- so well known for singing "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" with the Elvin Bishop band. "White Rabbit" is a psychedelic trip from their Jefferson Airplane years Thanks guys for the reaction!
Find Your Way Back is another BANGER from them! You'll love it!!!
Both written/arranged by lead guitarist, Craig Chaquico.
The lead guitarist was in high school and one of his teachers knew some of the members of Starship and got him an audition with them. The rest is history as they say.
Gotta check out "Find Your Way Back" by them he kills it vocally and the guitars rock!!
+1
Most definitely!!!
Ooooh this one …. Harmony that high in pitch…. Good grief❤️🎼❤️😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
Craig Chaquico on lead guitar-highly underrated.
He also wrote the song's rock arrangement.
If I’m not mistaken, he was only 16 when he joined the band
Grace couldn't have sung that to save her life...Mickey Thomas has the pipes and the soul. Listen again to the stellar drumming of Ansley Dunbar. A great mic and mixing job, too. Try 'Just the Same' off of the same album. Keep up the good work, guys! --bd

True
I agree it’s a masterpiece!
One of the most underrated rock albums ever. A simply amazing album that encapsulates the late 70s sound.
Thier song "Miracles" is epic, especially the chorus. On the level of Steely Dan..
I had forgotten how much I like this song. And as David G Fisher noted, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love", which is such a feels song you will never forget it.
The vocalist is actually a guy - Mickey Thomas. He has a great voice and it's a great song!
The opening of the funniest movie ever, "Wet Hot American Summer," starts with this. Makes it even more awesome lol Y'all need to watch that movie!
I don't know how they can think of so many perfect layers. Not one wrong step.
I've been waiting forever for you guys to react to this. I'm sure all the other commenters will sing you the praises of Mickey Thomas. They're all right. The man had a vocal range that was out of this world. This song has absolutely no fat on it. From start to finish it just kills.
They did a song called: “ Find Your Way Back” that I think you would enjoy a lot and would stick with you for years as well.
Agreed. Listen to Find Your Way Back. My fav song of JS in that era.

This is by far their hardest rock song. And you are correct this song kicks ass for sure !

Don't forget to squeeze Hot Tuna in there.
@@nanvolentine9110 Acoustic or Electric Tuna? Okay, I know the correct answer is both! I think they should start with "Funky #7".

You mean "her" drinking problem.
@@paulrollings5291 Thanks - changed it.
"Count On Me", "Find Your Way Back" and "Familiar Stranger" are worth a listen.
Miracles and You Can Count On Me are both great Jefferson Starship songs.
You can count on me and miracles are definitely worth listening to!

Its exactly like you said man - a precision engineered rock song - like a musical version of a BMW or Audi
Fading lady light is another great song on this album. Thanks guys for choosing this one.

Look up: Find Your Way Back and Familiar Stranger. These are two hugely incredible songs by Starship about two years after this tune came out.
Mickey Thomas also sings for Elvin Bishop Fooled Around And Fell In Love.
Been listening to this song since it came out, it never gets old so good, find your way back, are good too, so many great hits.
The great Ansley Dunbar on drums. He also played with Whitesnake , Journey and other bands. I believe he lost a coin toss to Mitch Mitchel to be the drummer for Jimmy Hendrix
Hahaha, his voice, fellas!!
His voice. Mickey Thomas. Do "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop (guitarist). Mickey does the lead vocals and he is excellent.
This song is great
Wow, I was a senior in High School when this came out.
Twin magic ~ eyes closed, Patrick tapping out background and harmonies, George clearly on lead. BroAction at its best!
Totally agree it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and a masterpiece. Mickey Thomas is one of the greatest singers ever. Have you reacted to Fooled Around and Fell in Love, Mickey on lead , Elvin Bishop Band. 🎉🎉🎉
Soo much better with the video!!
The voice you heard is Mickey Thomas formerly with the Elvin Bishop band, Grace Slick was singing background here
Miss seeing you guys on the tube
Memories
If you want to hear the best Jefferson Starship ever I suggest side 2 of the album "blows against the empire." That's good Jefferson Starship. Trust me it'll blow you away
Memories😁😘😘
You can't go wrong with Mick and Slick!
This song absolutely rips!!!!!
Strangest album cover. A scout on an aircraft carrier- chasing a 2 dimensional multi-colored star. Wtf?
Best intro ever.
It's a jam!!!
A HUGE thank you for reminding me how great ithis song is. I was 8 when this came out, and it's such a treat to see you react to songs I've known and loved for so many years. I get to fall in love all over again with the music of my youth ❤
OMG JANE JANE JANE
Saw them about a month ago. Still incredible. Please do embryonic Journey next
Fire!
If you like this, try Jefferson Starship song Miracles. Been one of my favorites for 40 years.
The percussion is often overlooked in songs, but this one rips. Just listen to ehat all is going on in that drum set. MT also sang on Wet Eilly's Fooled Around (and Fell in Love), featured on Guardians of the Galaxy.
Jefferson Airplane next - more psychedelic & Grace on vocals!!
Listen to Jefferson Starship songs from 1974 /75 titled "Ride the Tiger " "Miracles". And " Fast Buck Freddie "
Check out Winds of Change.......great tune....
You need to check out Elvin Bishop on the Midnight Special. Mickey Thomas’ voice live with no Auto-Tune. Simply incredible!
the person singing is David, he wrote the song and was a member of the starship. Great reaction guy, imagen being able to create a any song that would sound even half this good. I know what my songs would be like, crap. :)

Makes me want to put my hands in my pockets and put on a denim jacket while wearing sunglasses 🕶
Mickey Thomas is the real deal. Had another monster hit singing "Fooled Around And Fell In Love" by Elvin Bishop (a song you guys should check out).
Love this song....Try Kansas "What's On My Mind" If you liked this one I think you'll like the Kansas song.
I as an Elvin Bishop fan and knew Mickey Thomas was going to get snatched up by a power rock band. I would have preferred him going to a different band than Starship but this song did give him a great platform. But I wonder how he would be perceived if he had gone to a harder rocking band. I suspect he would be considered up there towards the top.
What everybody else said.
Grace Slick was not in the band during this album
