“Sara”  is a song recorded by the American rock band Starship which reached number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 15, 1986.  It was sung by Mickey Thomas, of the newly renamed band Starship, from their first album Knee Deep in the Hoopla; for this single, Grace Slick only provided the backing vocals.  The recording became one of the best-selling singles of 1986 in North America.  The song debuted at number 39 on January 18, 1986 and stayed at the top position for one week.  It was the band’s second number-one hit after the song “We Built This City” hit the mark a few months earlier in 1985.  Although written by Peter and Ina Wolf, the song was named for Thomas’s wife at the time, Sara (née Kendrick).  (More from Wikipedia)
