Jefferson Airplane Music video White Rabbit, Live from Woodstock 1969
Jefferson Airplane, White Rabbit , Live from Woodstock 1969 with Lyrics by John Anderson @ Kilo Kilo Studio (UK).
Grace Slick's Lyrics are based on her early life as a child, being read the books of Lewis Carroll's 1865 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass ... hence the references to the hookah-smoking caterpillar, the White Knight, the Red Queen, and the Dormouse.

Marty Balin 1942-2018
(born Martyn Jerel Buchwald)
founder, lead singer and songwriter of the groundbreaking San Francisco psychedelic band Jefferson Airplane and a key member of that band’s 1970s successor, Jefferson Starship
(...)
Mr. Balin was a prime mover in the flowering of psychedelic rock in mid-1960s San Francisco, not only as a founding member of Jefferson Airplane in 1965, but also as an original owner of the Matrix, a club that opened that year and nurtured bands and artists like the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Santana and Steppenwolf.
Mr. Balin’s voice could offer the intimate solace of ballads like Jefferson Airplane’s “Today,” the siren wails of a frantic acid-rocker like the group’s “Plastic Fantastic Lover” or the soul-pop entreaties of Jefferson Starship’s “Miracles.”

(...)
Mr. Kantner, who started as a folk singer, had a mellow baritone voice that blended ideally with the penetrating tenor of Marty Balin, and the powerful mezzo of Grace Slick, who joined the band after its first album.
He played a steady rhythm guitar that anchored the freak-out style of the group’s lead guitarist, Jorma Kaukonen, and the adventurous bass lines of Jack Casady.
