Grace Slick (born Grace Barnett Wing; October 30, 1939) is an American singer, songwriter, and former model, best known as one of the lead singers of the rock groups The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship, as well as for her work as a solo artist from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s. Slick was an important figure in the 1960s psychedelic rock movement, known for her witty lyrics and powerful contralto vocals.
Grace Barnett Wing was born in Evanston, Illinois, to Ivan W. Wing (1907–1987) and Virginia (née Barnett; 1910–1984), the latter a direct descendant of passengers of the Mayflower). In 1949, a month before her tenth birthday, her brother Chris Wing was born. Her father was transferred several times when she was a child and, in addition to the Chicago area, she lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco before her family finally settled in Palo Alto, California, south of San Francisco, in the early 1950s. She attended Palo Alto Senior High School before switching to Castilleja High School, a private all-girls school in Palo Alto. Following graduation she attended Finch College in New York from 1957 to 1958 and the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, from 1958–1959.

Genres: Comedy,El Diablo I can feel your power in my soul
Dancing like your puppet though I try to break your hold
Half succeeding still I find I'm healing quickly
You'll not trick me one more time
El Diablo you are like a fountain blowing dust
Peddler of delusion, dire confusion and disgust
As you hook your mark with joyous heart you up the price
Take your pleasure elsewhere cast your gaze not on my life
El Diablo I can feel your power in my soul
Dancing like your puppet though I try to break your hold
Half succeeding still I find I'm healing quickly
You'll not trick me one more time
El Diablo I can hear you calling in the night
Pass me by in silence I'll not follow you tonight
Beat your breast like thunder vent your anger with a howl
You'll not pull me under I'll not tremble at your growl
