saw an older interview with her, somebody asked her what she felt was her greatest accomplishment - she said "that I made it to be 34." she'll be 82 Halloween Eve.
I feel that lol
Great voice, smart, wicked sense of humour and completely adorable. Hard not to love Grace.
Agreed. Not exactly the laid back hippie type.
Love her !
A little too intelligent for the line of work she was in.
@@Kermit_T_Frog Actually not
Somebody to Love? The Answer is easy: Grace Slick.
Damn right and well said!
I was fortunate enough to have met her twice, 1968 & 1996. Just casual talk, music mostly. The time in 1996 was for over an hour at one of her art shows, and for that time I was the only person there, odd, but oh so fun! Such an interesting individual. She’s either read about or at least thought about, nearly any topic you’d care to discuss. Articulate, approachable, knowledgeable. One of the most interesting people I have ever had the privilege to visit with. And yes, I still have her autograph from both times!
😮
Wow/'68 & '96...
Those are two amazing moments to have been able to have with her (arguably the greatest ever).
Lucky you! 😍
Awesome story. When you met her for the second time did she remember meeting you in the 1960s?
@@rick3747 Oh, I don’t believe so. It was after a concert with Jefferson Airplane and It’s A Beautiful Day. I’d seen both bands in ‘67 (at separate concerts) but didn’t have the nerve to wait backstage.
You are a very lucky guy!
This is amazing. The way interviews used to happen back then were so much more genuine and gritty. This is 2 people actually engaging in a conversation-not a cringey scripted performance between a host and some celebrity promoting something. This is raw and I love it. Grace is a gem.
The closest you’ll get to that nowadays (well, minus some promotion but not too much) is the Graham Norton Show.
@@flannerymonaghan-morris7461 Yeah except Graham talks like amphetamine daddy and these guys are trying too hard to haha every second.
🙌
Cavett was the BEST
Try my five short interviews with Frank on You Tube. They cover parenting, evangelism, composing, Party Hats, and Frank’s question to me in ‘Frank Zappa interviewed by Pauline Butcher’
Grace's time at finishing school was well spent. She pronounced it perfectly. 🇬🇧
👍
yep
Wow, there's a blast from the past: a talk show audience that doesn't shriek, hoot and holler like a bunch or cretins. Or cretins.
😄👍
You bet.
Wooooooooooo!
I curse the day the Wooooooo!! started.
@@spikespa5208 I agree.
With both of them alive I’d love to see a new interview with them now.
She pronounces the word in the English/British fashion. Smart lady. She won that hands down. :)
Exactly! But most people just too stupid to understand what that was. Including show hosts.
In French, it's just like the British way.
@@nataliedelagrandiere4022 - ouais, je sais. :)
UI believe it is pronounced like the island of Crete.
Grace just had one of those voices in rock that you knew right away who was singing.
Yeah, flinty but crystal clear.
The true, original Queen of Rock, the ultimate sex symbol, and bold badass for decades (and almost 81!)
She is a husky contralto voice :)
@@gillianomotoso328 she was a great singer with a powerful voice, but I don't think she's a contralto; I think that's other level stuff like Toni Halliday and Elizabeth Fraser.
J l'wilder Liz Fraser is a soprano lol
Her Voice is So Smooth
THIS is what natural beauty and charm looks like. Rock on, Grace! :)
It is absolutely unreal just how devastatingly beautiful and other-worldly Grace is. She was way ahead of her time. That outfit is incredible too. It wouldn't look out of place in 2023 and here she is owning it all the way back in 1970. I'd give anything to have experienced the mid/late 60s in person, with the summer of love/Haight-Ashbury scene/The Human BE-IN of 1967 & all the incredible music and art that came out during that psychedelic era. Though I'm thankful to have lived through the 90s in the UK which was heavily inspired by the whole 60s aesthetic (to the point where Vanity Fair declared that 'London Swings Again')
i'm glad somebody else noticed what she was wearing, and you're right today's rock ladies could easily slip into this and still work it. Grace was truly an original, smart, funny with a sometimes wicked sense of humor and oh yeah - she could carry a tune.
Most people who wished they were there probably would have been among those who didn't survive it. But yeah, too bad it's mostly gone.
If you’re a red blooded man. You will notice what she was wearing. So hot
The 60's, the best music & will never be outdone. Grace Slick..one of a kind!
Hello Diane
She was painfully gorgeous back then.
Smokin hot.
stunning. i was in love.
@@neuregel and?
@@neuregel Uh, ok? If this were the only picture in existence of her, I'd maybe agree with you that "what you see is not what you get", but there are many other pictures with her in multiple hairstyles (permed, straight, wig, no wig) and as I said, she was gorgeous back then. Anyway, peace - out!
She’s an absolute Goddess. I am being honest when I say I missed some of what they both were saying because I was so blown away by how pretty she is.
She was always such a talented woman and so ahead of her time. Wicked sense of humour.
RIP, Grace.
@@jameshudson169 she didn't die
@@christaincarvalho there's people in the future reading these comments TOO, christain.
@@jameshudson169ooh, i see, you're a man ahead of it's time
@@christaincarvalho lol
Something about her is hypnotic.
Those eyes, and of course that body was very wonderful.
She had that 60's allure. It is hypnotic. It draws you in. She knows that you know.
She's so genuine and loveable. Total package. Wish I could have seen the live performances!
She’s so beautiful. Loved her singing voice.
Such a fox back in her day.
Still to this day.....that kind of raw beauty is eternal
Her "day" was ALL days for decades...
@@jlwilder8436 Yup.
She looks like she bites ❤️
@@9999bigb and who wouldn't want to be bit by that? 😍
Gracie was the sexiest rock and roll woman ever.
For years and years... (until she disappeared, but is still out there somehow/somewhere, and... 80!)
And very very funny!
@@psychoticbunnyrabbit9186
She was more beautiful than she was funny. Loved her raspy voice, though.
Heck yes.
Her and Carly Simon
Grace was amazing. Stunningly beautiful with a great voice.
How cool is she in these boots!
That whole outfit! Clergyman thing. Papal.... thing. Im Catholic. I should know what its called but my soul was psychedicized a long time ago😄🤣
@@stacyblue1980 I think she was Catholic too.
she did the backing vocals on Heart's "What About Love"
One of the most beautiful women to ever be born.
You got that right.
Damn right. Her singing is second to none.
I love these old references like Finch College and Tricia Nixon. These clips are like a pop culture master class
Dick Cavett’s show and Grace Slick’s band were pop culture. Tricia Nixon is a historical figure. Colleges and US presidents are not pop culture, they are high culture.
@@satchelsatchel Tricia Nixon is the daughter of then President Nixon. Not really an integral part of us history. But, she shines at the top of pop culture reference. At the hight of the counterculture era there was Tricia...the embodiment of societal normalcy. So, she was referenced and exemplified in social discussion of that era.
@@lisawinfield8982 Yes, I remember soon after the '68 presidential election a song about her called "Tricia Tell Your Daddy".
Grace is a fun interview at any age, and Cavett brings out her playfulness.
I completely agree with you.
agreed. her interviews with Letterman when she was in her 40's are very funny.
More! I want to see what happened after the commercial break. And if Jack Casady was backstage, didn't that mean the band was going to do a song? This is Grace at the height of her beauty, notoriety, and vocal chops. More or this episode, please!!!
the band had performed Volunteers earlier. Grace hung out and had a couple of brief comments to the women's liberation ladies who came on later - also present was Hugh Hefner. now there's a line-up.
The Cavett clips never include performances.
@vibratingstring So pay them and include the clips. YT could deduct the mechanical royalty from the viewer earnings. Spread across ALL of them, it would be enough to cover any fee for the song performance. Just pay a licensing fee to ASCAP or whoever collects it today on behalf of all the various parties involved in the original. Don't make the mistake of the Hendrix family and hide the music so that the name recognition dies off in the new generations today.
@@davidb2206 Very good point about the Hendrix family! A lot of people didn't understand licensing or brand recognition power back then. Also I believe it's more complicated than a few people to pay a royalty to.
She's such a wit. Her Letterman interviews are hilarious.
Totally agree. No doubt she went to Finch. Cavett had a way of bringing it out of the best of 'em.
@@nuwavedave she could have been interviewed by a rock and still shine.
agreed. she said "most people seek treatment. I get paid to be like this."
@@haintedhouse2990 “…and so does he”!
THAT OUFIT.
Just absolutely one of the best interviews ever. She is top-notch smart! Unique mind. The kind of bantering I adore. Love both of them.
I'd love to hear him interview her now. It would be some of the best things on TV
She is a natural beauty. Blessed with appealing looks.
You should see her today!
@@BobJones-dq9mx Everyone changes. That's life. Enjoy your moments!
@@BobJones-dq9mx everyone gets old
@@BobJones-dq9mx .....trust anybody who tells you that when you're 80 you won't look like you did at 30. Aging has a nasty way of creeping up on us, but there still is only one way to avoid it and it's absolutely drastic....wouldn't you agree?
@@msr1116 I still lover her!
The original female rocker. Her and Janis.
Thing is grace could sing Joplin just shouted ! Like them both though ❤️❤️
What about Etta James? Josephine Baker? Jenny Lind? Someone who was born in 1939 is unlikely to be the “original” anything.
@@tonywright8294 To say that Janis Joplin “shouted” but could not sing is to be sorely mistaken. Sometimes she did belt it out, and sometimes she hollered. But she could sing as well as anyone you’ll ever hear.
@@satchelsatchel Yes sir! Big Mama Thornton and Sister Rosetta Tharpe too.
Around 15 or so years ago Grace was on an art tour selling her works. The one I attended had a display of select items Janis wore on the Pearl album cover, borrowed from the Joplin estate. Grace's hair was totally white, long and pulled into a ponytail. Her autobiography was a good read, refreshingly candid.
What a great singer. I love her style. A true legend.
Not only great singer but composer too.
Grace Slick really was stunning.
She was *ALWAYS* an amusing guest and a great performer well into the 80's.
Love how she joins in with the ' ooohh no' at 4:22. She's a good sport. And took all of Cavett's jabs in stride.
I've always had a time machine crush on Grace. Holy cow.
She singed with great voice and style and she was adorable❤
My goodness she looks so pretty 😍.mad to think that this is from 50 years ago.
Only 50 years ago. :) Grace was a real beauty.
Indeed, she was the true/original Queen of Rock, the ultimate sex symbol, and today (amazingly) is 80!
I guess she looks good for 80. I met her when she was in her 60s at one of her art shows. Her grey/white hair was interesting.
Right, her daughter is 50! I hate to sound cliche, but where does the time go...
She had unique presence and Her stunning Beauty just amplified wherever She was. Amazing Talent very very underrated, These days She would easily dominate the charts and Soar even higher.
Holy crap, I can see why Gracie Slick was a former model. She's drop-dead gorgeous. And those legs....!
Young Grace Slick 🔥🔥
Popular culture guests like her today just aren't as honest as Grace. She's so sincere!
I love JA, Grace Slick is a Rock Goddess. Watching from London UK 🇬🇧
nice to hear greetings about JA from the UK.
Her eyes so unique and beautiful
To think she is 80 now blows my mind.
it's unfair!
Unfortunately she aged badly.
@@nataliedelagrandiere4022 Very Badly.
Because she was sort of a late bloomer. Pushing 30 when Jefferson really hit it big.
@@1CHRISD1 Depends
Smart, savvy and educated. Grace could hold her own with anybody. Amazing intellect, before she became a boozer. The fact that she looked that way did not hurt her career. Gorgeous. Oh, and she could sing, Signe Anderson was her early mentor.
Still with us in 2021, Grace and Dick.
Such an awesome lady. Beautiful then, beautiful now. I always loved her voice and her attitude.
This interview was beautifully awkward. and i especially love how she mentioned that college is a diving-board for the psychedelic hippie scene. XD
She was and still is a GODDESS... she was stunning when she was younger. I am always amazed
Her face is hypnotic, what a voice, what a beauty.
I love her sense of humor!
Part 2 asap please!!! Can't get enough of her
Part 2 is with Hugh Hefner and 2 feminists Grace didn't agree with.
It's on UA-cam. One of Dick Cavett's best interview.
The only woman l know who pulled a gun on the SFPD in order to stop them from pounding her old man into the sidewalk and not only lived to tell about it and write a song about it she did not have any charges brought against her. The SF DA knew no jury of her peers would convict her.
Love the expression on DC’s face when Grace corrected him “it’s Mrs.”😝 (as if to say, then what does that make us?!?”😂)
You'd think Dick would have done his homework. Or at least apologized.
Such a cool lady,
The reason I love these old interviewers like Cavett and Carson is that they were much more spontaneous. Unlike the rehearsed and scripted late night hosts of today these guys let their eccentric guests run wild. It lead to many fun, awkward, revealing, hilarious, and honest moments. Judging by a lot of the comments it also makes a lot of people uneasy.
Just look at and listen to her in this interview and think that she sung "Don't you want somebody to love" , WOW, hard to fathom. What a voice.... and to be able to belt out that old Darby Slick song like she does, wow.
now i know whom i loved all these years.
one of the most beautiful voices
I love her! She’s just awesome.
Grace Slick was absolutely Gorgeous!!!
raul macias was
She’s so beautiful.
She has a wonderful voice
I was at a Starship concert in 1974 or 1975, at William and Mary college in Virginia. Grace was singing, and a male fan climbed onto the stage and grabbed her and laid a "liplock" on her, before he was ABRUPTLY ESCORTED offstage be a roadie. ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!!!!! She did not seem to mind.
I saw them around that time also, I heard they could be inconsistent when playing live but they were surprisingly good. I was sitting in the 6th row and at one point Grace was at the edge of the raised stage. She stared at me for a about 30 seconds, I was a bit uncomfortable, not knowing what to do. After the concert a friend said, ''did you see the way Grace was checking you out?". That's it, that's my claim to fame, Grace Slick "might" have found me attractive.
@dale It was a much different time in society. I'm sure she'd feel other emotions about it today.
When the truth is found
to be lies
And all the joy
within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
They should sing this at the RNC.
@@troubledsole9104 as a shot at the DNC
@@bcrater6400 That wouldn’t make sense because we have a Republican president who is on record as being an inveterate liar. And if your best counterargument is “No he’s not” then you’re incorrect. .
@@satchelsatchel I read that as 'invertebrate' which fits too ;p
Love that song! Love it, even though I wasn't born when it was released (70s child).
Never so freakin' sexy, witty Grace...She was something
Amazing interview!
It's so great to see the coolness of the 60s hippie rebellion in Grace Slick. That kind of hip wit is now extinct in the U.S. Off-topic, Katy Perry resembles her.
They're both Scorpios, too. Interestingly enough. 😁
She was a very attractive woman with beautiful eyes.
She had a drug crazed look.
She is stunningly beautiful.
I love the dick cavett show his way of talking with the guests seems so genuine and not having to make up a joke after every sentence
Grace has given us some of the greatest interviews of any musician ever and wow was she beautiful.
I was born in '76 and missed-out on the Grace Slick infatuation wave. I definitely would've been on board.
I was born in 1876 and mos def missed out too
@@Kylefassbinderful Dang, watch out for Covid, Uber-Boomer. XD
It is never too late; I got in backwards: first (when I was a kid) I loved the woman singing "We built this city" and "Rock myself to sleep", and then I found the Grace from 20 years earlier than that. And now, decades later, I still love all of it and all of her.
@@MyEnemy that's funny, but don't forget automobiles and airplanes, too. At least he was there for the advent of music and movies as we know it.
@@jlwilder8436 Yeah, I loved "We Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now." I guess you're right, I can retroactively lose my heart to her, ha ha.
One of my favorites
Still rocks/ go gracie
I love Grace’s charm.
That's so great to see! I love Grace
I love it when people interview musicians , “uh I’m not use to talking to people. I just perform ..”
New fan. Love her!!
she released a good solo album in 1980 called Dreams. i've loved Grace for a while. welcome!
I think id have completely fallen in love with her, what a amazingly articulate, intelligent, gorgeous woman!!!
thanks, that was awesome :)
One of the original goddesses of rock. So gorgeous 🖤🤘
Grace had a great voice it really fit into it
Saw her in concert with Starship .. Houston Tx early 80s...worked my way close to the stage. I wuz in luv.
That was Dick Cavett's best and funniest interview. Thank you Grace Slick too.
Beautiful
KRETT-in is usually British, and KREET-in is usually American. It's either or either.
@Joe S I think you’re agreeing with me. I think....
Kreet-in is Greek...... someone from Crete!
@@paullynch4021 That's a Cretan. It sounds the same and makes for a nice double entendre.
In my experience, Brits never flip between the two. It's KRETT-in exclusively.
@@paullynch4021 Exactly! .....
She's killing it in those boots!
lmao at them discussing how jack looks lol
I love their chemistry. Like you can tell he really respects her and thinks she’s the coolest but he knows he’s a square in comparison. Maybe I’m reading too much into it haha but he’s really sweet w her I love it
I'd forgotten what a hot, sassy, lil' snack she was...
Omg, she was gorgeous! 😍
she's effortlessly cool
That was the 60's. Lots of them.
She looks very young in this clip. So when she mentioned being 10 years older than someone else I Googled her birth date, and was surprised to see that she was born 11 years before my parents. I always thought of them as being closer in age. Interestingly I was still baking in the oven when this was filmed. I wasn't born until later in the year.
She was 30 years old at Woodstock
0:55 Did he say "Rollo May" as in the psychologist? Read his book _The_ _Meaning_ _of_ _Anxiety_ in the early 90s.
Love you Grace :) Love the boots!
oi release the rest of it
