  • I had friends that knew Grace. They said she was funny, and crazy, a joy to be around! Anything for a laugh!

    Letterman was must see back in the day. Fun, funny, snarky, smart. You don't know what you got till it's gone.
  • Not only was she probably the best female rock voice, she was always one helluva of an interview.
  • @user-ob3kn6lk6b
    Spitfire/Red Octopus are great albums. I love her voice talking and singing.
  • When I was entering puberty, Grace was doing something to me from afar.
  • @Bayan1905
    Grace was 48 years old here, and still looked good then.
  • @wxman2003
    Her daughter is now 53. Grace is now 84.

    I remember this episode! Grace was always fun as hell and had (still has?) a wicked sense of humor! Thanks for the memories and great music you left us Grace!

    Charlton Heston used the "not blowing my skirt up" line in True Lies 7 years after this appearance. This appearance was 6 months after the movie Mannequin came out and Grace and Starship had a #1 hit with the theme song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now."

    First thing I have to do before watching the video is check the comment section to make sure she is still alive.

    Donā€™t know if anybody else has heard this story. Apparently, back in the days when Grace fronted the original Jefferson Airplane, she used to wear one contact lens with a blackened star shape in/on it. It looked like her pupil was just a complete black star. Not sure if sheā€™s short - sighted and had a clear contact lens for the other eye also. Grace Slick was/is one of the first ā€œrock chicksā€! I did read somewhere that Grace had a brother - in - law called Darby Slick who founded the band Great Society.
