RIP Marty Balin

Co-Founder of Jefferson Airplane/Starship etc. Sang lead on hits like Miracle, Runaway and Count On Me.

In all honesty, I was never a fan of his voice. In fact, his solo hit, Hearts, is one of my least favorite songs of all time. I may have mentioned that once or twice. But he is a significant figure in rock history.

I knew him fairly well. He was the least egotistic member of Jefferson Airplane. I think he may have been the oldest member.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

He sang "I saw you / comin' back to me" & I *love* his voice on that.
