Known primarily in 70s and 80s albums by Red Octopus, Spitfire, Earth and Knee Deep In The Hoopla abruption than those hit singles as Miracles, Runaway, We Built This City and Sara, to name a few, these Californians whose group has gone through many different stages and various names, continues in effect, a new incarnation ( Jefferson Starship - The Next Generation ), after more than forty years history.
It dates back to 1965 when in the middle psychedelic scene, Marty Balin , decided to form a band based mainly in the folk whom he called Jefferson Airplane . He was joined by Paul Kantner and other musicians, some of which had a fleeting passage by the group resulting in 1966 from entering vocalist Grace Slick whose income to initiate a successful stage with songs like Somebody To Love and White Rabbit , contained in its production Surrealistic Pillow of 1967.
In 1971, virtually isolated the rest of the band and determined to find a way of life where drugs and alcohol had no involvement, Balin decided to leave the band, which was left Kantner and Slick , who gave a turn to it and even changed the name to Jefferson Starship . Four years later, Balin back for a short period, coinciding with the release of three of the most successful of the new incarnation, after which he would retire in 1978 final. That same year, Slick leave the group for some time, encouraging the entry of new members including Mickey Thomas.
1984 was the year that Kantner decided to take a different path and, through legal action led to members then shortened the name to Starship under which they released two albums prior to the final output Grace Slick and one more, entitled Love Among The Cannibals which released four singles. The second of these was It's Not Enough, one of my favorite songs from his entire discography and let me introduce you today with a final figure. A little more a month of the release of the album, drummer Donny Baldwin (who still appears in this video) physically assaulted Mickey Thomas sending him to hospital and disrupting the promotional tour with the album which, despite its quality, was far from achieving good sales and a proper positioning in the charts.
With the song you ranked number 12 in the H ot 100 chart, It's Not Enough.
