Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to love

Release date: 1967

When Grace Slick departed to join Jefferson Airplane, she took this song with her. Subsequently, the Airplane's more ferocious rock and roll version became the band's first and biggest success scored at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

San Francisco in the mid-'60s was the epicenter of free love, but Darby Slick saw a downside to this ethos, as it could lead to jealousy and disconnect. This song champions loyalty and monogamy, as the singer implores us to find that one true love that will nurture us and get us through the tough times.

Album: Surrealistic Pillow
