Starship with Mickey Thomas

Description

Mickey Thomas is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled Starship through the decades of the 80's and 90's. With his soulful and compelling vocals, Mickey established himself as one of rock music's most recognizable stars. Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the megahit 'Fooled Around and Fell in Love' with The Elvin Bishop Band. In 1979, Mickey joined the Jefferson Starship as lead vocalist, after the departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin. Backed by the power of Mickey's vocals, Jefferson Starship immediately scored a #1 hit with 'Jane'. With this new sound and powerful new vocals, the group was renamed Starship and continued to record an amazing string of hits. Every Starship album released since 1979 has gone Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. Mickey's stellar voice and video charisma on Starship's video classics such as 'We Built This City' and 'Sara' have become staples on MTV and VH1.
