    Craig Chaquico ... high on the list of all time great guitarists that never fully got their due. Along with Gary Richrath (REO Speedwagon) and Elliot Easton (The Cars)

      Is "underrated" the only word in your vocabulary as a critic? What is it with your peer group? ACROSS THE BOARD ON YOTUBE " underrated" is thrown around like candy at a confectioner's convention. IF you bothered to actually check the critical rankings, YOU WOULD LEARN that Mickey Thomas is hailed as ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK MALE VOCALISTS.

      By this time Kanter was pretty much on his way out. He did still write for them - and continued to do so on Nuclear Furniture. However, as he said in an interview, he could not write a simple song to save his life. By that time America was not really wanting complex, politics-themed songs clothed in layer of allegory. Music was going downhill at that point. Kanter made an exit at the right time, although lots of think it was the downfall of the group. When he left nobody was left of the core of Jefferson Starship, much less Jefferson Airplane.

    One of Jefferson Starship's better songs from the "Jane" era. This definitely should have done better on the radio but it was, unfortunately, drowned out by the song "Jane" which got top billing and radio play on most stations across the US and abroad. Had the disc jockey's played this a little more, it would have definitely been up there on the US top Billboard Charts. Many people now days don't realize that back then, the Disc Jockey's could "make or break" a song. The more air play it got, the better a song did. That was the facts back then on FM radio. This is a great song from that time period. Very late 70's/early 80's vibe to it for sure. I was in High School when this came out. Fantastic Jefferson tune for sure. Grace and Mickey have great harmonies on this one.

      I bought this album as soon as I heard it was being released October 1982. Radio programmers were not receptive to them in the early 1980s for some reason, they were more spacey and less simple than the other rock bands.

    I just look at you
    And I'm hypnotized
    Like I'm drowning now
    Drowning in your eyes
    You are beautiful
    Past imagining
    And I want you more
    More than anything
    And I cannot speak
    And I've lost my sight
    All my senses gone
    Lost in you tonight
    And I want your love
    Be my lady be my lady
    Do I ask too much
    Do I want too much
    Want to know you now
    Want to feel your touch
    You just look at me
    Feel the fire start
    Want to make you burn
    Want to touch your heart
    And I cannot speak
    And I've lost my sight
    All my senses gone
    Lost in you tonight
    And I want your love
    Be my lady be my lady
    Got a racing heart
    And my minds a roar
    Never felt like this
    Never loved before
    And it's dangerous
    I would willingly
    Burn to ashes now
    If you'll stay with me
    And I cannot speak
    And I've lost my sight
    All my senses gone
    Lost in you tonight
    And I want your love
    Be my lady be my lady
