No Protection (1987) is the second album by Starship. The album featured the #1 hit "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", and the Top 10 hit "It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)," the latter of which was a tune originally performed the previous year by one-time Manfred Mann's Earth Band frontman Chris Thompson for the Playing for Keeps Soundtrack. With the departure of longtime bassist Pete Sears, Starship was reduced to a quartet for this effort. This was the last album to be produced under the "Grunt Records" label, and the final Starship album to feature Grace Slick on vocals; she left Starship in 1988 and rejoined Jefferson Airplane for their reunion tour and self-titled reunion album, Jefferson Airplane in 1989. The Diane Warren-penned ballad "Set The Night To Music" would become a hit four years later in 1991, as a duet between reggae singer Maxi Priest and & R&B legend Roberta Flack, as released from Flack's album "Set The Night To Music".
