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.
its too bad it degenerated to dross like "We Built This City". Mickey's pipes are sooo top shelf, i'd like to have seen him finish up solo, or with a band that could really showcase his talent, which Starship wasn't really doing in the 80s....but you are spot on...when it opens with..."Jane, you say its all over for you and me, girl", one is put on notice. He can command a song.
@@kilgoretrout3966 I saw them in concert when I was in college. The Outfield opened for them. Mickey was fantastic! They did Jane as the last song. They took a bow and began walking off stage. Mickey hopped over some piece of equipment on the floor and fell. He was a trooper! He just hopped up, smiled, straightened up and cooly walked off. lol. Then the audience yelled for an encore and they came back out. He could have come out alone and sang and we would have loved it. I agree with you about Starship at that time, they didn't showcase his talent.
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.
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 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! ❤❤❤
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!
How did I not know this? My favorite Starship song is of course Sara, because as a little girl (born in '81) I thought that song was written for me and they just misspelled my name 😂. After hearing this song again (I've always loved it as well) I can now recognize it as the same voice from Sara! Thank you for that information, it's always cool to learn pieces of trivia I never knew 😄
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.
I watched both faithfully as a tween in the 70s. I remember this one and it was where I saw/heard Queen for the first time. What great music we had 🎶🎵🥰
You're the biggest part of me is always going to be my go-to smooth easy rock song. May even crack my top 10 list if i could ever whittle a list of thousands of songs down. LOL .
@sherrypierce1061 Mickey Thomas is in the blue jumpsuit. There's a video on RUclips where he's being interviewed about this song and where he said Elvin Bishop didn't think his voice was right for the song. So Elvin asked Mickey if he wanted to try singing it and the rest as they say, is history.
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.
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!
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!!👏
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
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
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 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 RUclips .... and thank me later. lol
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
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 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 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.
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
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.
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 😌
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!
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!
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...
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
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 😀
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!
This is, without a doubt, Elvin Bishop's best-known hit, thanks to Mickey Thomas's vocals. Mickey would go on to sing for Jefferson Airplane. Some other songs by Elvin Bishop you should check out are Travellin'Shoes, and Don't You Lie To Me.
Believe me, I’m young myself, however the majority of people I know don’t know songs like this and it makes me feel really good to see others of my generation learning to appreciate this style of music. 60s-80s classics are some of the most “real” music you’ll ever be blessed with.
We dressed funky back then but my era had some serious vocal and musical abilities. If you didn't have talent you didn't make it. You ended up in a garage band doing tributes to those that did make it. Music industry back then had a plethora of creativity and competition. Still loving it big time!!
Elvin Bishop the guitar player wrote this song. He said he knew his voice wouldn't do the song justice. So he had Mickey who was actually a back up singer at the time do it. And the rest is history.
Mickey Thomas singing this live and not missing a note.
Yes. Elvin is the one soloing. Singer on most of their songs. Check out Juke Joint Jump.
@@josephcote6120 Mickey Thomas is singing lead on this, Elvin Bishop wrote it.
@@tlburrell Yes, soloing on the guitar.
Mickey Thomas...perfect voice and singing..
Yea and Mickey still sings this and his songs he co-wrote for starship which he still performs with today. He’s in his early 70’s now
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.
Definitely time to react to Jefferson Starship “Jane”. Micky can sang!!!!
Love that song!
Gotta say, I prefer Marty Balin, though they were all great. And of course, Grace ...
Yes ! Great song.
its too bad it degenerated to dross like "We Built This City". Mickey's pipes are sooo top shelf, i'd like to have seen him finish up solo, or with a band that could really showcase his talent, which Starship wasn't really doing in the 80s....but you are spot on...when it opens with..."Jane, you say its all over for you and me, girl", one is put on notice.

Reni Slais-backup, has an awesome voice! Let’s give her some props here! She and Mickey sound great together.
YUP she is with him on the THIS...... the BEST VERSION of this great SONG
also read that she is the girlfriend of the keyboard player
David Goveia Oh really. Never heard that. still today?
@@sharikraft1706 not sure.......but She is On Here
Thanks for id'ing her. She is fantastic!
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!
I thought that was Mickey!
Man, I knew I recognized that voice, but couldn't pinpoint it. Thanks for the factoid!!
How did I not know this? My favorite Starship song is of course Sara, because as a little girl (born in '81) I thought that song was written for me and they just misspelled my name 😂.

Mickey Thomas ........stellar vocals!!!! ♥️
Jayvee it's the 70's man!! Best era ever for music, in any genre. Awesome!!
I 1000 PERSENT A GREA THE 70s were FABULAS, FANTASTIC
The best voice you never heard of.
Even though his work was all over the radio in his time.
He could sound like Grace Slick or Marty Balin.
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.
Yes !!
Susan R yeah that’s the one! Need to react to Jane for sure!!
Good choice. What about White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane ?
Mickey Thomas, the singer, joined 'Jefferson Starship' shortly after this, they have many hits, check out 'Jane'' by Jefferson Starship.
I love that era of Jefferson Starship. My person favorites are "Jane", "Find Your Way Back", and "No Way Out". Mickey was awesome!!
Jane is my favorite Jefferson Starship song.
I saw them live when I was in college. Runaway is my favorite.
I thought that was him..love me some Jefferson starship. #Miracles
And Sara is another great song by them.
Mickey Thomas is the lead vocalist here... He later became lead vocalist with 'Jefferson Starship'!
I think he's still out there (at least he was a few years ago) singing and hitting those high notes. Amazing voice!
Classic rock jam from the middle 70's. I feel blessed to have grown up listening to fantastic music like this ☮️
This has to be one of the best live performances of a song I've ever heard
Another great performance from The Midnight Special. Miss staying up late to watch it and also Don Kirshners Rock Concert.
2 good shows that are missed
Mandatory Friday night TV!
I watched both faithfully as a tween in the 70s. I remember this one and it was where I saw/heard Queen for the first time. What great music we had 🎶🎵🥰
For 70s smooth. Gotta go with Ambrosia "How Much I Feel", "Biggest Part of Me", "You're the Only Woman"
I remember having a few Ambrosia songs on 45....man, I'm old...lol.
@@sarasmile11 Stop- that means I am too!😅
@@allisonyoung4007
I'm in the club too. But hey, we had some great music!
"Holding on to yesterday" by Ambrosia, is the best !
You're the biggest part of me is always going to be my go-to smooth easy rock song. May even crack my top 10 list if i could ever whittle a list of thousands of songs down. LOL .
His voice is insane man love this song
Micky Thomas's vocals are amazing. A natural born vocal maniac...
Which one is Mickey Thomas this guy is not the original singer
@sherrypierce1061 Mickey Thomas is in the blue jumpsuit. There's a video on RUclips where he's being interviewed about this song and where he said Elvin Bishop didn't think his voice was right for the song. So Elvin asked Mickey if he wanted to try singing it and the rest as they say, is history.

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!!!!!
yes...he is a great singer. this performance is amazing..Dan, Washington State...
Jackson Browne please......maybe “Running on Empty”....or Bob Seger’s “Against the Wind”.....kind of perfect songs for now....
I would love your reaction to Bob Seger's "Against the Wind "
This performance is so great!
I wish it was twice as long! ✌
Great song and reaction! The singer is the fantastic Mickey Thomas! Elvin Bishop is the guy playing the guitar solo!
Aren't you glad you've learned about a whole new generation and genres of music?
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.

I'm glad you liked this one so much!
Before going solo, Elvin, the guitarist, played second guitar in The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. His song as a solo artist, “Traveling Shoes”, jams!
It is great to see someone discover great blues rock!!!!!!!!
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.
Mickey has more talent then almost every singer out today . His vocal range is top notch its effortless and perfect every time .
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!!👏
"Fooled Around and Fell in Love" was included in the soundtrack album for Guardians of the Galaxy titled Awesome Mix Vol. 1.
No auto-tuning! That is what they call..."gettin it done"!
If you made it back then, everyone's voice was amazing. That's why it was the greatest era of music ever.
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
Awesome performance. Elvin Bishop on guitar.
Yayy!!! Thank you for listening to this!!!! Im so happy you like my suggestions xoxo ❤️🌹 xoxo
Man I'm 60 yrs old and I remember this group but those outfits oh Lord...loved this
Along the same vein, please also check out Boz Scaggs. fyi, Elvin is the one in the tan suit on guitar (left).
Mary Margaret Moore Yes! Boz Skaggs is a fantastic choice for you, @JayveeTV! AFTER George Michael, please! Lol 😂
Boz Scaggs yes you need to check him out 😁
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

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

And there were so many in the late 60's through the seventies, nothing worth listening to much now.

Randall, I saw Elvin with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the Monterey Pop Festival. They were INCREDIBLE.
The great bit is this is available and full of all the emotion and craft, for all to see and hear, now and forever...

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!
Great reaction, you should checkout Jefferson starship too Grace Slick another amazing female singer 😊
One of my favorites in the 70s
Elvin's the one with the cool solo. A real favorite song.
I love how you love 70’s music!
Elvin Bishop NOW "Old School" live at Dimitrious' Jazz Alley.........not to be missed!!!!!
His voice is seriously over the top...
That's Mickey Thomas singing. Elvin Bishop in tan suit playing guitar.
Elvin Bishop blew a whole lotta eardrums in his day!
You’d also love hearing and watching Meatloaf sing live
“ Two Out of Three Aunt Bad!”
I was a Junior in high school and loved this song! I'm 60 now but still feel 16 when I listen to this.
Mickey Thomas joined Jefferson Starship later. Check out:
Jane
Layin' It On The Line
To hear some more of his great vocal range.
Jane late 1979 ,,
mickey thomas also sang with jefferson starship or just plain starship.

That is the wonderful Mickey Thomas on lead vocal. He was in Jefferson Starship and Starship. Check out Jane by Starship... Classic!
What a voice!!! Great song and reaction :)
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! ✌❤
Such a beautiful song. Takes me way back to beautiful memories of my teen years. Mickey Thomas’s voice is incredible.
lovve jayvee.... what an educated appreciator
you've quickly become my favorite thing you RUclips. Thanks

Happy Sunday J good to see you, still waiting for you to listen to Chuck Berry 'Maybellene' live 1958
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!
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...
My sister had this album back in the day and she wore the grooves out. I especially remember Calling all Cows .....
Always loved this song.
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 !
Good for you man. You might not have known who Mickey Thomas was but you sure as hell do now, he can sing
ENJOYED,and for sure REAL SOUND,GREAT job your doing,mix the TIMES!🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾☘☘☘☘🇺🇸STAY WELL AND KEEPP THE MUSIC GOING!🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️☘☘☘☘☘☘BROAD CASTING
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 😀
Micky was one of the lead vocalists for Jefferson Starship. Great vocalist....
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!
Ive heard the song before but never saw the video. Wow, what a voice and Hulk Hogan on the drums. Great reaction👍
Love it-- always have!! Still rocks!!
This is, without a doubt, Elvin Bishop's best-known hit, thanks to Mickey Thomas's vocals. Mickey would go on to sing for Jefferson Airplane.
Some other songs by Elvin Bishop you should check out are Travellin'Shoes, and Don't You Lie To Me.
Mickey went on to Jefferson Starship, not Airplane.
Believe me, I’m young myself, however the majority of people I know don’t know songs like this and it makes me feel really good to see others of my generation learning to appreciate this style of music. 60s-80s classics are some of the most “real” music you’ll ever be blessed with.

I remember this song well but never saw him sing so nice to put the two together. One of my favorites from that era.
I want to know where I can get a rainbow jumpsuit like that backup singer.
Elvin Bishop the guitar player wrote this song. He said he knew his voice wouldn't do the song justice. So he had Mickey who was actually a back up singer at the time do it. And the rest is history.
Elvin Bishop is on guitar, and Mickey Thomas on vocals and yes he is the bomb.
He’s a Southern Gentleman, Mickey Thomas from Cairo Ga.. One of the very best .. listen to Jefferson Starship ( Jane) and ( Stranger)!
