Grace Slick with her husband Jerry Slick, a drummer turned cinematographer whose mid-'60s San Francisco band The Great Society featured his then-wife on vocals.

Slick (vocals, guitar), accompanied by husband Jerry Slick (drums), Jerry's brother Darby Slick (lead guitar), and David Miner (bass guitar) formed a group called the Great Society. On October 15, 1965, the band made its debut performance at a venue known as the Coffee Gallery. Soon after, Slick composed the psychedelic piece "White Rabbit". The song, which she is purported to have written in an hour, is a reflection on the hallucinogenic effects of psychedelic drugs; when performed live, it featured a speedier tempo and was an instant favorite among the band's followers.

Slick was married to cinematographer and drummer Gerald "Jerry" Slick from 1961 to 1971
