Grace Slick's New Single The Edge of Madness
Exclusive Download From The GRAMMY Museum

On July 24, 2010, Grace Slick and Michelle Mangione's new single The Edge of Madness debuted for Museum Members during the program A Night Out With Grace Slick, an art exhibit of Grace's works, reception, and interview with KLOS DJ Jim Ladd. The recording, featuring over 20 musicians and singers, is one of the first of its kind that includes musicians of many genres and generations in support of those who are struggling financially due to the Gulf Coast oil spill. "I always thought government was supposed to take care of its people," Slick said. "What's going on?" Slick and Mangione wrote the music and lyrics for "The Edge of Madness," a song that pays tribute to the musical legacy of Louisiana.

Grace Slick and Michelle Mangione are joined on the recording by other top musicians and singers, including Bill Medley (Righteous Brothers), Tom Dumont (No Doubt), Billy Zoom (X), Martha Davis (The Motels), Kid Ramos (The Fabulous Thunderbirds), Larry Hanson (Alabama), Terri Nunn (Berlin), and Steven Hodges (Tom Waits, Smashing Pumpkins).

The track will be released on an independent label and is available here for a download purchase from The GRAMMY Museum's website. Portions of proceeds from sales of this single on The GRAMMY Museum's website will go to the The Greater New Orleans Foundation's Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund that offers aid to fishermen and their families, and to the MusicCares Foundation®, which provides emergency financial assistance to members of the music community across the U.S., and continues to offer support to music people and their families in Louisiana.
