Jefferson Airplane guitarist, vocalist and co-founding member Paul Kantner has died. He was 74.

 

Kantner died Thursday (Jan. 28) of multiple organ failure. He had suffered a heart attack earlier in the week. Kantner’s publicist confirmed the news with the San Francisco Chronicle.

 

From 1965-1972, Jefferson Airplane was a pioneer in the Bay Area counterculture psychedelic rock scene, first defining what became known as the “San Francisco sound.â€

 

The band’s second album, Surrealistic Pillow, from 1967 hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with the help of singles "Somebody to Love" and “White Rabbit." The band performed at the 1960s’ three most famous American rock festivals – Monterey in 1967 and Woodstock and Altamont in 1969.

 

Kantner is the first of Jefferson Airplane's founding members to have passed away. He was also a founding member of the group’s spinoff band, Jefferson Starship. which took off in 1974.

The Check Inn has just posted on Face Book that Mama Noi, the famous mamasan who went back to the VN War days, passed on this morning at age 76. I bent elbows with her a fair number of times, and probably some others here did too. She was so proud of her photo with Bob Hope. They don't make them like her any more.

 

RIP nice lady.
