I have watched that many times over the years. It's magic every time. I wish there was a new video of him. The old one is low quality.

I find that very hard to believe
Pic is from the Panamerica race 1954

Grace Slick would have been 15.. In private school in Palo alto.

That doesn't look like a 15 year old girl in the picture, that's a woman.

Grace Jones is black and younger than Grace Slick. I think it is just some random gal.
