They were 'Jefferson Airplane', then became 'Jefferson Starship', then became 'Starship'. They had big hits that you've probably heard under all 3 names.
Paul Kantner left due to creative differences in 1985, and after some acrimony with the remaining band members, the name “Jefferson Starship” was retired. The remaining members of Jefferson Starship at that point morphed into “Starship” and enjoyed continued success.
Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship -- Starship...ring a bell, Grace Slick.. White Rabbit.. We built this city.. Somebody to Love .. Mannequin.. one of the funniest movies..
A lot of people at the time (adults) bashed the 80's. Me, no loved it I was an 80's teen. It was fun less complicated, in a lot of ways. Here's to all my 80's teens out there. Don't we miss those days.
Absolutely. I'm proud to be a member of Gen X. Yes we got alot of grief but we refused to give in. " youth gone wild." Could be a " freebird." We learned to " roll with the changes," and to be " comfortably numb" at times. We " didn't need no thought control." Man we had it good.
The sounds of the 70s and 80s. Youll never hear better sounds than then. We were a blessed generation and no matter the private life, we all got to experience our time. If you felt left out, its the persons fault. Times will only live in the hearts of others as we share our music and its through the music where another can grab a piece of it for our future. Rock on Gen X.
Mannequin is one of my favorite movies from the 80s!! Fun fact - Kim Catrell & G.W Bailey were both in Mannequin and Police Academy! U did a reaction to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, so u have heard them before because Jefferson Airplane turned into Jefferson Starship, and then because of a lawsuit, they just became Starship....My favorite song by them is We built this city! Definitely worth a listen!
Yes, G.W. Bailey played "Lt. Harris", in "Police Academy," the instructor that everyone, especially Steve Guttenberg's character "Mahoney". Both of them were also in the movie "Short Circuit" with a similar dynamic. That movie introduced the song "Who's Johnny" by El DeBarge and had a few from the Bee Gees in it.
This is from the movie Mannequin and that kid is Andrew McCarthy. He’s been in a ton of movies (he was one of the guys “animating” dead Bernie in Weekend at Bernie’s. He’s also an old buddy of James Spader (they were both in Pretty in Pink) and so he has directed a ton of episodes of The Blacklist. Cool guy, I’ve always heard he’s super nice.
Someone one probably said this already, but the female singer is Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane. She sang "White Rabbit." That's the crazy psychedelic video from the late 60s. You and Don reviewed it sometime ago. Yes, that is Kim Cattrelll from "Sex in the City." Great song, movie, and video. Excellent review!
Jefferson Starship ‘Jane’ w Micky Thomas on vocals is a must. Micky also sang in Elvin Bishops ‘ Fooled around and fell in Live’ which is a must as well. Phenomenal voice. Also Jefferson Airplane ‘Miracles’ is phenomenal , Marty Balin on vocals
"We Built This City" is another #1 hit from them and probably the song the more modern version of the band is best known for. Would be a good listen since you enjoyed this. Love the channel! :)
One of my favorite memories was watching them perform this song, Sara, and We Built This City, back in New Years 2005 concert in Artesia, NM. It was so freakin awesome! I used to have their 45 record album and would jam that thing when I was a kid. I never thought I would see them live.
One of my fav songs ever. There are pics of me as a child singing in the mirror to this! This band is one of my all time favorites! This is from “The Mannequin “ with Andrew McCarthy. “Sara!! “Ohhhh!!! So good by them ! That one would be great please!! Richard Marx! “ right here waiting” or “hazard” Hazard is a really cool song!
Yes, those were the days and the moments that made life memorable and made that era the best time in history. Peaceful. Fun times. Not all this killing and constant ugliness before corruption took full control. Never be a time in history like that again I'm afraid.
Both Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas are great singers and Starship was blessed to have them both. You most probably have heard We built this city which was a huge hit. All the songs from this No protection which Nothing's gonna stop us now comes from have that distinct 80's sound that most people either love or hate, it has more ballads than Knee deep in the hoopla which We built this city came from that is a bit more up tempo with songs like Rock myself to sleep.
It's so cheesy, but Mickeys vocals are so good, it somewhat redeems it. It always bugged me that THIS was huge, yet " can't find love" ( from 82) was barely played.
I totally agree with you 100%, we need more cheerful vibes, music is healing and a great escape. Imagine people from all around the world coming into one channel to just enjoy music and that's amazing. Thank you for the reaction, this brings back good memories of the good old days.
One of my favorite songs from the '80's. Right on with the happiness and hopefulness vibe - down with dystopia! There are a number of good songs to choose from. "Jane", "Sara", "We Built this City", to name a few.
This from the movie, Mannequin, in which you can see a young Kim Catrall, who indeed played Samantha in Sex and the City! FYI: Kim Catrall also played in the first Police Academy movie! And that is indeed the cop from Police Academy. 😊
Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship --the evolution of the band. Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas are both great singers. Try "Jane" as your next song.
Yes, this was Kim Cattrall’s breakout role.… The movie “Mannequin “. I don’t think Grace slick really liked doing this style of music and I’ve seen interviews where she pretty much said, so, but the songs made Starship quite a bit of money back in the day, I would think. And, of course, every woman loved watching Mickey Thomas.
@@kjs0391 porky’s was ‘81. Mannequin was 87, but after the later, a wider audience saw her and she became more popular to people other than teenage boys. 😂
ahhh the 80s.. what a time! glad you found this gem bro! Mannequin was a fun movie! he falls in love with a mannequin, go figure hahah.. she comes to life and hes all about trying to make the most of this obscure scenario... check it out! btw, yes that is the police academy dude! sergeant i believe, but could be wrong, oh, and yes def the sex in the city girl haha
First time commenting. I love this song. I always imagined this group coming out of the recording studio high fiving each other, knowing in their bones that they nailed it. Then jumping in their red convertable to go party someplace fun. Thank you for your dedication. You do god work.
This is such a feel good 80s song. I was around 10-13 probably when it was popular. Just makes me feel like a kid again full of joy when I hear it! No worries. Just smiles.
Someone one probably said this already, but the female singer is Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane. She sang "White Rabbit." That's the crazy psychedelic video from the late 60s. You and Don reviewed it sometime ago. Yes, that is Kim Cattrelll from "Sex in the City." Great song, movie, and video. Excellent review!
Hahaha Mannequin. Yeah, quintessential 80s movie and music. A modern retelling of Galatea of Greek myth, or more accurately, the statue by Pygmalion, which also spawned the play which morphed into My Fair Lady. Love the history and connections. :) Yeah, that's Kim Cattrall when she was young. And gotta give it up to Grace Slick, the only original Jefferson Airplane band member by this point. Huge talent.
So glad you enjoyed this, both the song and the video. The movie is fun, too. As for more Starship, I would recommend “You Never Know” off their last album that came out in 2013 (Loveless Fascination), first, also, “It’s Not Over (Til It’s Over)” from the same album as this one. Or “It’s Not Enough” from the album “Love Among the Cannibals” in 1989.
Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick were great together! He was the voice who sang Fooled Around And Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop. The lead guitar player for Starship is Craig Chaquiso. He REALLY rips on the song Sorry Me, Sorry You. That was a Jefferson Starship song from the album Nuclear Furniture.
This was my ex-husband and my song from the time we were dating, to having it played as "our song" at our wedding, etc. I have not heard it in forever. I can now say it is still a good song and it does not evoke any negative feelings because of my history with this song. I appreciate your reaction to songs that are not only the newest releases. It is fun to watch you discover songs that I have known and to hear your interpretation and reaction. I am in the exact opposite position as you..,.Hip Hop and Rap is not m;y forté buy I am starting to watch some reactions now and learning what I do like in those genres. Keep up the awesome job with your channel.
These are so cool. Takes me back to a much more care free era! On another note, I'd still like you to react to Mike & The Mechanics; The Living Years. That song has meaning & a message we need to be reminded of. The lead singer was with Phil Collins for a long time & you can tell by the style of some of his singing.
Ah, Starship, the remaining descendent of Jefferson Airplane, which became Jefferson Starship, then eventually just Starship. So much good music. From this iteration, my favorite songs are We Built This City and Sara and I really love the guitar solo near the end of Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight. I also have favorites from their other iterations if you decide you want to go back in time to the previous groups they came from.
I remember this movie…Mannequin (name of the film.) I saw it as a little kid with my parents. It’s…not a great movie but dang this song really sticks with you. And I’m here for it!
That's so funny that you reacted to White Rabbit, that previous comments explained was The original Band Jefferson Airplane.. I think Grace Slick was so underrated as far as having, in my humble opinion, one of The best female voices I've ever heard... And an incredible stage presence.. thanks for doing this reaction.. oh and yes that was Kim Cattrall of Sex in the City!
Holy Crap BP! You are correct! That was Kim Catrall from. sex in the City! I was in 8th grade when the movie (mannequin) was played during a school dance. Love this song and this vocalizing of Grace Slick. Starship was awesome!
Written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond. He sang and wrote on the 1970s. Thereafter, he sang less but continued as a writer. Warren graduated 🎓 with a BM in composition from Cal State Northridge on 1980. Same university where Andy Summers graduated 🎓. He earned a BM in classical guitar 🎸. Warren wrote hit sings on. The 1980s and continues to do so. Starship is from my hometown San Francisco 🌉. It did break up 💔. But it reformed. The only member who continued to perform in both versions is singer Mickey Thomas. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Starship performs Sara 2 Jefferson Starship performs Jane live on Saturdays.
My favorite Starship songs are Miracles and Black Widow. Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit was the first or second song I learned to sing as a kid and still remains a favorite.
BP, last week you reacted to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. I think this was the final iteration that started back in the 60s. Grace Slick sang both of these songs.
This is the same group (basically) that did "White Rabbit," which you've reacted to; it was a very trippy, psychedelic kind of video with the opening lines: "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall." It's the same female lead singer on both songs, Grace Slick -- one of the best female rock vocalists of the rock era. The male singer, by the way, is Mickey Thomas, who sings lead on Jefferson Starship's "Jane" -- which is a BANGER that you NEED to react to (as well as "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop Group). Thomas's vocals kind of remind me of Brad Delp, who sang lead on Boston's "More Than a Feeling."
Man...this takes me back! Well, now I have to go add this oldie but goodie to my spotify AND go watch this movie again! Forget all about this one, I loooooved this movie! Oh and btw...a song that just appeared as I was looking this up...."Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" by Glenn Medeiros and also "She Ain't Worth it" by him...2 awesome songs!
In the 1960's this band was known as Jefferson Airplane. In 1974 the name was changed to Jefferson Starship, then in 1984 the name was changed again to just Starship. This was one of the best, and most prolific bands in music history spinning off numerous splinter bands and successful solo careers. This video was done for the 1987 movie Mannequin starring a young Kim Cattrall (later in Sex In The City fame). This song was a big hit in its own right but was the bands last song to go to #1 on the charts.
The movie is Mannequin. The cop is GW Bailey and yes he was in Police Academy with Kim Catrell who is also in this movie. Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls is stars in the movie as well and I can't forget James Spader. Great cast.

The movie "Mannequin" was Great, Released in 1987.......
Yes, that is a young Kim Cattrall.....
Starship had 4 songs on the Soundtrack.......
😂😂The best young Kim Cattrall has to be Porky's.
@@heidirippl2815omg... I was a little kid when that came out. I didn't realize she was in it.

Also Belinda Carlisle sang the opening credits song
They were 'Jefferson Airplane', then became 'Jefferson Starship', then became 'Starship'. They had big hits that you've probably heard under all 3 names.
Yes 👍
I didn't know they went to just starship. Weird, I've only known them as Jefferson starship❤❤
And then there was Hot Tuna

Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship -- Starship...ring a bell, Grace Slick.. White Rabbit.. We built this city.. Somebody to Love .. Mannequin.. one of the funniest movies..
You forgot about Hot Tuna
Mannequin good movie!
Movie was fun.. no real violence, a happy ending. Several interesting characters in the movie. Can watch as a family.
Ah. Mannequin, my 80s guilty pleasure. Starship was the final incarnation of Jefferson Airplane with only Grace Slick remaining.
A lot of people at the time (adults) bashed the 80's. Me, no loved it I was an 80's teen. It was fun less complicated, in a lot of ways. Here's to all my 80's teens out there. Don't we miss those days.

Graduated 84. WE WERE THE IT!!
@@JaquelineGoodspeed no thought control.... I still have that mantra.

The Eighties is my favourite decade. It had everything from the New Romantic fashion to the innovative influential music 😍🎶🎶 It was amazing 👌🛸
Indeed👍🏻

What a great voice Mickey has. Also sang Fooled Around and Fell In Love with Elvin Bishop.
I think Grace Slick is one of the few artists to have had hits in 5 decades.
60s, 70s, 80s.... what hits after the 80s?
This is from the movie Mannequin and that kid is Andrew McCarthy. He’s been in a ton of movies (he was one of the guys “animating” dead Bernie in Weekend at Bernie’s.

Love this silly movie its an all time fav
One of their biggest hits was “We built this city”. I am sure you have heard that hook before. It is a great song for you to check out.
Absolutely loved this movie. Can't count the times I've watched it.
It’s one of my favourite 80s songs. Fills my heart with joy every time I hear it. Perfection. ❤
Jefferson Starship ‘Jane’ w Micky Thomas on vocals is a must. Micky also sang in Elvin Bishops ‘ Fooled around and fell in Live’ which is a must as well. Phenomenal voice. Also Jefferson Airplane ‘Miracles’ is phenomenal , Marty Balin on vocals
"We Built This City" is another #1 hit from them and probably the song the more modern version of the band is best known for. Would be a good listen since you enjoyed this. Love the channel! :)

80’s is by far my most favorite generation of music
The mannequin was such a big movie in the 80’s and this song on the soundtrack was 🔥 and yes, that was Sex in the city’s Kim Catrell

The movie is Mannequin, with Kim Catrell (Sex in the City ) and Andrew McCarthy. Fun 80's romcom
Absolutely takes me back to better times ❤❤❤❤
this is one of my favorite songs
Same here!!
Hard to believe this is the same Jefferson Airplane that sang White Rabbit!!
They were just adapting to the 80's sound like Heart was as well.

The male lead on this song, Mickey Thomas is the same guy who sang the Elvin Bishop classic "Fooled Around And Fell In Love"
The actress Kim C was in police academy and Andrew McCarthy was in Weekend at Bernies!!
It's the theme song for the 1987 movie Mannequin!!
This is a great song. Good to ride in your car and just sing it at the top of voice, just belt it out like they do
I've always loved Jefferson Star Ship!!! Great band, major talent!!! I wonder what happened to them 🤔, thank ya BP!!!!
It's GREAT, I think it's GREAT. You're right, it is GREAT!!!
Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick were great together! He was the voice who sang Fooled Around And Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop. The lead guitar player for Starship is Craig Chaquiso. He REALLY rips on the song Sorry Me, Sorry You. That was a Jefferson Starship song from the album Nuclear Furniture.

Flash dance was one of my favourites of the time (it had a great sound track too)
We built this city great song. I thought you had already did it but it's great as well
Haaaaa un film fantastique que j'ai toujours adoré...🥰🤩👏👍
That's so funny that you reacted to White Rabbit, that previous comments explained was The original Band Jefferson Airplane.. I think Grace Slick was so underrated as far as having, in my humble opinion, one of The best female voices I've ever heard... And an incredible stage presence.. thanks for doing this reaction.. oh and yes that was Kim Cattrall of Sex in the City!
Holy Crap BP! You are correct! That was Kim Catrall from. sex in the City! I was in 8th grade when the movie (mannequin) was played during a school dance. Love this song and this vocalizing of Grace Slick. Starship was awesome!
There are two from Police Academy: Kim Cattrall (who was in the first movie) & G.W. Bailey (who played Harris in several movies)
Could u react to Mexican Radio by Wall Of Voodoo?
omg that movie was the best!! the memories!!
Written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond. He sang and wrote on the 1970s. Thereafter, he sang less but continued as a writer. Warren graduated 🎓 with a BM in composition from Cal State Northridge on 1980. Same university where Andy Summers graduated 🎓. He earned a BM in classical guitar 🎸. Warren wrote hit sings on. The 1980s and continues to do so.
Starship is from my hometown San Francisco 🌉. It did break up 💔. But it reformed. The only member who continued to perform in both versions is singer Mickey Thomas.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 Starship performs Sara 2 Jefferson Starship performs Jane live on Saturdays.
I always forget how crazy Grace Slick looks in this video haha
Her wide eyes are insane! 👀
Theres just sooo much good 70s and 80s songs, artists for you to experience. Its so hard to suggest a song or an artist.
My favorite Starship songs are Miracles and Black Widow. Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit was the first or second song I learned to sing as a kid and still remains a favorite.
I agree with you that I would hope most of us want happiness and love, no drama, in our life
BP, last week you reacted to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. I think this was the final iteration that started back in the 60s.
Grace Slick sang both of these songs.
This is the same group (basically) that did "White Rabbit," which you've reacted to; it was a very trippy, psychedelic kind of video with the opening lines: "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall." It's the same female lead singer on both songs, Grace Slick -- one of the best female rock vocalists of the rock era. The male singer, by the way, is Mickey Thomas, who sings lead on Jefferson Starship's "Jane" -- which is a BANGER that you NEED to react to (as well as "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" by Elvin Bishop Group). Thomas's vocals kind of remind me of Brad Delp, who sang lead on Boston's "More Than a Feeling."
Another really good song by them is "Sara".. Definitely check that one out.
I was born in '86 but grew up with this music and still listen to it. It makes me happy listening to it compared to the depressed music these days.
My favorite 80s love song ever
Oh my gosh,in 1982,I saw them play outside @ Chico State University( in California)!! It was actually my 1st concert,age 16 1/2.😮😀🫶🥰🎵🎶💖🔮
It's from the movie Mannequin. ❤️
Man...this takes me back! Well, now I have to go add this oldie but goodie to my spotify AND go watch this movie again! Forget all about this one, I loooooved this movie!
Oh and btw...a song that just appeared as I was looking this up...."Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" by Glenn Medeiros and also "She Ain't Worth it" by him...2 awesome songs!
Great song from a great movie.
In the 1960's this band was known as Jefferson Airplane. In 1974 the name was changed to Jefferson Starship, then in 1984 the name was changed again to just Starship. This was one of the best, and most prolific bands in music history spinning off numerous splinter bands and successful solo careers. This video was done for the 1987 movie Mannequin starring a young Kim Cattrall (later in Sex In The City fame). This song was a big hit in its own right but was the bands last song to go to #1 on the charts.
Mannequin is the movie and yes the cop in the vid is from police academy both are great movies! I love this energy and song!! 😊
Loved the movie and the song!
The movie is Mannequin. The cop is GW Bailey and yes he was in Police Academy with Kim Catrell who is also in this movie. Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls is stars in the movie as well and I can't forget James Spader. Great cast.
This is a great song, I was just playing this today in my car. You have a good eye…the cop and the girl ( Kim Cattrall) were both in Police Academy!!!
