Jefferson Airplane guitarist, vocalist and co-founding member Paul Kantner has died. He was 74.
Kantner passed away on Thursday (Jan. 28) of multiple organ failure, following a heart attack earlier in the week.
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."
Kantner and guitarist and vocalist Marty Balin formed the band in a bar called the Drinking Gourd, intending the group to be a folk-rock group. Amidst the city's drug experimentation, they developed something far more interesting...
Rest in peace, Mr. Kantner. The heyday of Jefferson Airplane will always be fondly remembered here.
Listening to AIRPLANE for days. It was nice to have met you; good night PAUL.
