He awas a great singer and person, unafraid of the Hells Angels in Altamont. Not only did I like him with the Airplane, I liked also Starship and Bodacious DF and his solo record. RIP Marty.

Yes, Sad indeed, I have his solo album which had some great songs on it, a friend told me about this, this morning.

R.I.P. Marty

He was one of the few rock vocalists who had a real singing voice. Great bandmemeber too

To me, Marty was the soul of the Airplane. His voice soared over everything. RIP, Marty.

I've been a Jefferson Airplane fan since I first heard Somebody To Love on the radio in 1967. Marty Balin's voice and musical contribution was a big part of their sound, may he RIP.

I can still see Marty singing "Today" at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago 11-68. Wow

Marty and Grace's voices soared over that great rhythm section like a pair of jazz horn players. Another of my heroes is gone.

Godspeed Marty.

The sound of the Airplane was definitely key to the 60's movement.
