April 4, 1987 –
The Starship single Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Charts on this date,
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now was the third #1 single for Starship (after We Built This City and Sara), but the only members of the group who actually participated in the recording of the song were vocalist Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas, and guitarist Craig Chaquico. Producer Narada Michael Walden preferred to use his veteran session players to round out the instrumental backing, and he programmed the LinnDrum himself.
