Grace Barnett Slick is an American singersongwriter, musician, artist and former model, widely known as the first female diva in rock and roll history for her role in the San Franciscos burgeoning psychedelic music scene in the mid1960s. Her iconic career spanned all or parts of four decades, most notably with the groundbreaking Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship bands. She started with The Great Society and also had stints as a solo performer.
Grace Barnett Wing was born October 30, 1939, in Highland Park, Illinois, to Ivan W. Wing , of Norwegian and Swedish descent, and Virginia , a lineal descendant of passengers of the Mayflower. Her parents met while they were both students at the University of Washington, and later married. In 1949 her brother Chris was born. Her father, working in the investment banking sector for Weeden and Company, was transferred several times when she was a child and, in addition to the Chicago area, she lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco, before her family finally settled in Palo Alto, California, south of San Francisco, in the early 1950s.
