Starship was formed as a band resulting from a legal settlement, which marked the beginning of their journey in the mid-’80s. Their repertoire included popular hits like ‘We Built This City,’ ‘Sara,’ and ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,’ showcasing a polished pop/rock style. The group eventually disbanded in the early ’90s, leaving behind a legacy of chart-topping music.
Initially, Starship emerged from the remaining members of Jefferson Starship after a lawsuit settled the ownership of the band’s name. Led by Paul Kantner and Grace Slick, the band transitioned into Starship with notable members like Mickey Thomas, Craig Chaquico, and more. Their hits like ‘We Built This City’ and ‘Sara’ propelled them into stardom, solidifying their place as a distinct musical entity. The evolution and challenges faced by Starship shaped their musical direction and led to a lasting impact on the music industry.
