Marty Balin dead at 76

“When I start dancin’ inside you” I don’t think Ed Sullivan would have allowed any of this on his show.
Too bad he’s dead, Jefferson Airplane/Starship I think was one of the great 60s/70s groups out there.

Bless its pointed little head.

Back in the olden days (early ‘90s) when they had music stores, I was browsing in an HMV in my neighborhood and couple of guys were getting squared away on a little stage in the corner and some people started gathering around. Turns out it was Marty Balin and I think a keyboard player. I didn’t know who he was until they announced it. I was kind of like wow, WTF is he doing in the basement of a music store in the most uncool neighborhood in NYC? Anyway he sang a few songs, including Miracles, for the assembled dozens and it was just fucking great. A very fond memory.

Why didn’t you call me!?!?

My all time favorite song, Comin’ Back to Me, was written by Marty Balin.

RIP

:frowning:

There are so many. In this song he fuckin’ nails the vocals: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AOMuK7YYxeg

In my mind too he was the voice of JS.

And what about Papa John Creach: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WILBqWdV3Q4
