One of Jefferson Airplanes best:

Coming Back To Me

Written and sung by Marty Balin.

""Comin' Back to Me" is a folk rock song by the band Jefferson Airplane. It was written by Marty Balin. The song appeared on Jefferson Airplane's second album, Surrealistic Pillow. Marty Balin recalls that "the song was created while he indulged in some primo-grade marijuana given to him by blues singer Paul Butterfield."[1] After writing the song in one sitting, he immediately went to the studio to record his composition with any available musicians at the studio.[1] The song would later be covered by Rickie Lee Jones and Richie Havens.["

This is a very beautiful song.My mother died ten years ago and I remember about a year ago i was driving and this song came on the radio. I just cried my eyes out. Man, they just don’t write music like this anymore.
