History 1965–1966: Formation and early development Jefferson Airplane received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. Slick, Kantner, and the remaining members of Jefferson Airplane recruited new members and regrouped as Jefferson Starship in 1974, with Balin eventually joining them. Kaukonen and Casady moved on full-time to their own band, Hot Tuna. After 1972, Jefferson Airplane effectively split into two groups. The October 1966 to February 1970 lineup of Jefferson Airplane, consisting of Marty Balin (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Grace Slick (vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums), was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Two songs from that album, " Somebody to Love" and " White Rabbit", are among Rolling Stone 's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Their 1967 breakout album Surrealistic Pillow was one of the most significant recordings of the Summer of Love. They headlined the Monterey Pop Festival (1967), Woodstock (1969), Altamont Free Concert (1969), and the first Isle of Wight Festival (1968) in England. Formed in 1965, the group defined the San Francisco Sound and was the first from the Bay Area to achieve international commercial success. Jefferson Airplane was an American rock band based in San Francisco, California, that became one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic rock.
