MIRACLES
“Miracles” is a song written by Marty Balin and originally recorded by Jefferson Starship, appearing on their 1975 album Red Octopus. “Miracles” peaked at number 3 for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the highest-charting single the band ever recorded under the name Jefferson Starship, and also charting higher than any single the band had recorded in its previous incarnation as Jefferson Airplane.

Jefferson Starship proper can be dated to the 1974 album Dragon Fly, but the album was still credited to Paul Kantner and Grace Slick as well as Jefferson Starship. Their first big hit song “Miracles” had a timeless quality, to me at least – it felt as though the song had always been there. The line-up included Pete Sears, an alumnus of past UARB the Sons of Fred.
