Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas
Mickey Thomas, the iconic voice behind Starship, catapulted the band to fame throughout the 1980s with his soulful and compelling vocals. Mickey's journey in rock music began in 1976 when he led The Elvin Bishop Band to chart success with "Fooled Around And Fell In Love." In 1979, he joined Jefferson Starship as the lead vocalist following the departures of Grace Slick and Marty Balin, contributing to hits such as "Jane," "No Way Out," and "Find Your Way Back." The band evolved into Starship in 1985, achieving massive success with three #1 singles: "We Built This City," "Sara," and the Academy Award-nominated "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" from the movie Mannequin. Mickey's remarkable voice and presence in Starship’s music videos became defining features of the MTV and VH1 era. Fans attending Starship concerts today can look forward to a mix of hits from both Starship and Jefferson Starship, along with tributes to the foundational sounds of Jefferson Airplane, showcasing the enduring legacy of Mickey Thomas and the bands he helped propel to stardom.
