After Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen decided to leave Jefferson Airplane, Slick formed Jefferson Starship with Kantner and other bandmates, and also began a string of solo albums with Manhole, followed by Dreams, Welcome to the Wrecking Ball!,
and Software.
Manhole also featured keyboardist/bassist Pete Sears, who later joined Jefferson Starship in 1974.
Sears and Slick penned several early Jefferson Starship songs together, including "Hyperdrive" and "Play On Love".
Dreams, which was produced by Ron Frangipane and incorporated many of the ideas she encountered attending twelve-step program meetings, is the most personal of her solo albums and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
The song "Do It the Hard Way" from Dreams is one example of Slick's music at the time.

Slick was nicknamed "The Chrome Nun" by David Crosby, who also used the nickname "Baron von Tollbooth" for Kantner.
Their nicknames appear as the title of an album she made in 1973 with bandmates Kantner and David Freiberg: Baron von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun.
