Grace Slick (born Grace Barnett Wing, October 30, 1939) is a rock music icon, serving as the lead singer of the rock groups Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship for nearly two decades, from the 1960s through the 1980s.
Slick is considered to be one of the most important musicians in bringing the 1960s psychedelic rock to mainstream appeal. She is known for her witty, influential, thought provoking lyrics. Former lover and bandmate Paul Kantner once half-jokingly compared Slick to Oscar Wilde in her impact on music and modern culture.
