Jefferson Airplane Co-Founder Kantner Dies
Paul Kantner, the co-founder of the 1960s rock band Jefferson Airplane, has died aged 74. The group, from San Francisco, wrote anthems for the hippie movement including Somebody To Love And White Rabbit. While vocalists Grace Slick and Marty Balin were the public faces of Jefferson Airplane, Kantner, a guitarist, was often considered the creative force of the band as he brought a new urgency to the folk scene from which he emerged.
