My Best Friend (Jefferson Airplane song)
"My Best Friend" is a song by the Jefferson Airplane. It was written by the band's former drummer Skip Spence. The song appeared on the band's second album, Surrealistic Pillow and was released as a single. By the time the album was recorded, Spence had left Jefferson Airplane to join Moby Grape. Joe Viglione of Allmusic praised the song as "a beautiful blend of original Jefferson Starship sound with a harmony-ragged Mamas & The Papas meets Spanky & Our Gang's loose folk vaudeville." George Starostin praised it as a slow "catchy pop song." Rolling Stone called it a "country charmer." Doug Collette of Glide Magazine compared the song to tracks on the debut album Jefferson Airplane Takes Off and noted it as "polite, sweet harmony-laden." Chart history
