Mickey
Thomas,
the owner of the soaring
voice that propelled Starship through the decade
of the 80s, entered
the 90s as a solo artist.
With his choir boy good
looks and soulful, compelling
voice, Mickey has established
himself as one of contemporary
music's most recognizable
stars.
Mickey Thomas made his
mark in 1976 as lead vocalist
on the meager-hit "Fooled Around and Fell In Love",
by the Elvin Bishop Group.
In 1979 Mickey's notoriety
outgrew the confines of
Elvin Bishop, and he left
to join Starship as
their lead vocalist. Backed
by the power of Mickey's
vocals. Starship immediately
scored a #1 hit with "Jane",
with Mickey as their new
focal point, Starship
went on to record an amazing
string of hits, including
an incredible four #1
smashes. "No Way Out",
"We Built This City",
"Sara", and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now". Other
top hits included "Find Your Way Back", "Stranger",
"Layin' It On The Line",
and "It's Not Over Til' It's Over", which became
Major League Baseball's
theme in 1987.
Moreover, every Starship
album released since 1979
has gone Gold, Platinum
or Multi-Platinum. Mickey's
video charisma has ensured
that Starship video classics
such as "We Built This City" and "Sara" became staples on MTV
and VH1.
