‘It’s hard not to admire her verve and sass’ New York Times Book Review
Somebody to Love? is Grace Slick’s classic autobiography which documents her life at the forefront of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties counterculture movement. Rock and Roll’s original female outlaw, as famous for her bad behaviour as for her haunting singing voice, Slick spent a quarter-century at the centre of America’s most influential bands from the Great Society and Jefferson Airplane to later incarnations Jefferson Starship and Starship. Along the way, she charted dozens of hits, sold millions of albums and created anthems for generations.
In this rollicking, revealing and provocative memoir – first published in 1997 and now available in the UK as part of White Rabbit’s prestigious Deep Cuts series – we discover the many sides of Grace Slick, from the artistic pioneer and rebellious thrill seeker to the complex woman navigating the competing pressures of fame and motherhood. This is both a revealing self-portrait of a woman known to many as the original rock outlaw and an unforgettable behind-the-scenes view of the wild times (and wilder characters) of American counterculture.
