music.wikisort.org - PoetaAlexander Lee "Skip" Spence (Windsor, 18 aprile 1946 – Santa Cruz, 16 aprile 1999) è stato un polistrumentista e cantautore canadese che ha trascorso gran parte della propria vita negli Stati Uniti e in particolare in California, noto per la sua collaborazione con i Jefferson Airplane, per essere stato il fondatore dei Moby Grape ed infine per aver intrapreso una breve carriera come solista[1][2].
Biografia
Nacque a Windsor, Ontario, Canada, dove visse fino alla fine degli anni cinquanta, quando i genitori decisero di trasferirsi a San Jose, California[3]. La sua carriera fu minata dalla dipendenza da droghe sommata a problemi di salute mentale. Un biografo lo descrisse come un uomo che "né morì giovane né ebbe la possibilità di trovare una via d'uscita". Durante il suo periodo d'attività sotto gli occhi dell'opinione pubblica, ebbe una forte influenza sulla musica alternativa e, principalmente sul folk psichedelico[1].

Alexander Lee "Skip" Spence (April 18, 1946 – April 16, 1999) was a Canadian-born American singer, songwriter, and musician. He was co-founder of Moby Grape, and played guitar with them until 1969. He released one solo album, 1969's Oar, and then largely withdrew from the music industry. He had started his career as a guitarist in an early line-up of Quicksilver Messenger Service, and was the drummer on Jefferson Airplane's debut album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off. He has been described on the AllMusic website as "one of psychedelia's brightest lights";[1] however, his career was plagued by drug addictions coupled with mental health problems, and he has been described by a biographer as a man who "neither died young nor had a chance to find his way out."[2]

Александр Ли «Скип» Спенс (18 апреля 1946 (1946-04-18) — 16 апреля 1999) — американский музыкант, канадского происхождения. Один из «самых ярких» музыкантов психоделического рока[2], однако, его карьера была сведена на нет наркоманией и проблемами с психикой. По словам одного биографа, Спенс был человеком, который «ни умер молодым, ни смог найти выхода»[3].
