Grace Slick was born in Chicago to Ivan W. Wing (of Norwegian-Swedish extraction) and his wife Virginia Barnett, She attended Castilleja, a private, all-girls school in Palo Alto, California, near San Francisco. Following graduation, she attended Finch College in New York from 1956-1958 and the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida from 1957-1959.
Before entering the music scene, Slick was a model for a short time in the early sixties.
Slick maintained a friendship with Janis Joplin that began early in her music career and lasted until Joplin's death by drug overdose on October 4, 1970. She also had a friendship, as well as a sexual relationship, with Jim Morrison. According to her biography, it began during their 1968 European tour but no real romance was involved Jeff Tamarkin's Jefferson Airplane biography, however, makes no mention of such a relationship. She was also good friends with The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia. HIGH FLYIN' BIRD http://youtube.com/watch?v=e9ww_RYl68E 
Slick was married twice, to Gerald "Jerry" Slick, a cinematographer, and then to Skip Johnson, a Jefferson Starship lighting designer. She has one daughter, China Wing Kantner (born January 25, 1971). China's father is former Jefferson Airplane guitarist Paul Kantner, with whom Grace had a relationship from 1969 through 1975.
The relationship with Kantner produced a daughter, China. Upon the baby's birth, Grace sarcastically told one of the attending nurses (whom Grace thought to be annoyingly pious) that she intended to name the child "god", with a small g. The nurse took Grace seriously, and her reports of the incident caused a minor stir. CROWN OF CREATION http://youtube.com/watch?v=InZS5jQTSvc 
During her musical career, Slick was a member of several rock bands: The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, and Jefferson Airplane's successor bands, Jefferson Starship and Starship.
Notable songs that she recorded with Jefferson Airplane/Starship include "White Rabbit" (which she is reputed to have written in 30 minutes), "Somebody to Love", "We Built This City", "Lather" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". The songs Somebody to Love and White Rabbit appeared on Rolling Stone's top 500 greatest songs of all time. ESKIMO BLUE DAY _ another favorite Enjoy!!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=RaW6r5lMe4I 
Slick's solo albums include Manhole, Dreams, 'Software' and Welcome to the Wrecking Ball. Dreams, produced by Scott Zito, is thought by many critics to be Grace Slick's finest hour as a vocalist.
Alongside her close contemporary Janis Joplin, Slick was an important figure in the development of rock music in the late 1960s. Her distinctive vocal style has exerted a definite influence on other female performers, such as Sandy Denny and Dolores O'Riordan. Like Joplin, Slick's uncompromising persona and powerful voice helped to open up new modes of expression for female performers, giving a new legitimacy to the role of the female lead singer in the male-dominated world of rock music.

Grace was given the nickname "The Chrome Nun" by David Crosby, who also referred to Paul Kantner as "Barron von Tollbooth". Their nicknames were used as the title of an album she made with bandmates Paul Kantner and David Freiberg entitled Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun.
Slick left Starship in 1988 at age 48. Following a brief Jefferson Airplane reunion the following year, she retired from the music business. During a 1998 interview with VH1 on a Behind the Music documentary featuring Jefferson Airplane, Slick stated that the main reason she retired from the music business was that "all rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire." 
After retirement, she turned her attention to painting. She has done many renditions of her fellow '60s musicians such as Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, and others. In 2000, she began displaying and selling her artwork.
She has generally stayed away from music, although she did perform on "Knock Me Out", a track from In Flight, the 1996 solo debut from former 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry. The song also appeared on the soundtrack to The Crow: City of Angels. http://youtube.com/watch?v=FvAumFo1PPE 
In a 2001 USA Today article, she said, "I'm in good health and people want to know what I do to be this way, ...I don't eat cheese, I don't eat duck — the point is I'm vegan..."
