"Somebody To Love" was written by Darby Slick and originally recorded by The Great Society in 1966. Slick’s sister-in-law Grace was the band's lead singer. When Grace left to join Jefferson Airplane, she took this song (along with her own "White Rabbit") to the Surrealistic Pillow sessions. Jefferson Airplane's version became the band's first and biggest hit - peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is #274 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
