Sunfighter

Sunfighter is a 1971 album created by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane.

Many Bay Area musicians perform on the album, including all of the then current lineup of Jefferson Airplane, members of the Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the horn group, Tower of Power.

The song "Sunfighter" is dedicated to Marty Balin, who had formed Jefferson Airplane with Kantner.

[4] Part 2 is a response to the Ohio National Guard's mass shooting of students at Kent State University the previous year.

According to the liner notes, Grace Slick, now a vegan,[5] conceived of the song out of frustration with pressure from vegetarian neighbors in Bolinas, California, where she and Kantner had recently moved.
