60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
7/6/65 – The Jefferson Airplane is formed
The band wouldn't achieve real success until Grace Slick left The Great Society to join them, bringing with her two of the songs she previously sang with that group, "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit," both of which would become Top Ten Hits in 1967.
Also on 7/6, Jackie Wilson records “Higher And Higher.” It won’t be released as a single for two years, when it becomes Jackie’s last Top Ten Hit.
While Wilson did not have any Top 40 hits in 1965, he came back in a big way in the fall of 1966 with his Top Ten Hit "Whispers."
