"Volunteers" is a Jefferson Airplane single from 1969 that was released to promote the album Volunteers two months before the album's release. It was written by Marty Balin and Paul Kantner. Balin was woken up by a truck one morning, which happened to be a truck with Volunteers of America painted on the side.[2] Marty started writing lyrics down and then asked Paul to help him with the music.
Record World called it "an instant smash."[3]
