Robert Plant

    In 1968, a naïve young singer from the Black Country hills in England named Robert Plant was discovered wailing the blues by veteran session guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. When Plant recommended his friend John Bonham as the drummer, one of the most successful bands in rock history was born as Led Zeppelin.

    Robert Plant has this incredible voice that complemented each member around him. Robert Plant’s interest in music began at an early age, and his decision to start singing came shortly after. In 1960 he played with various groups such as The Crawling King Snakes, Listen, Hobbstweedle and The Band of Joy with John Bonham. After releasing many singles in 1967 he, as well as John Bonham, were asked to join Led Zeppelin. His style varies through the years as does his influences. Through Led Zeppelin, Plant was able to explore a variety of styles including heavy rock, folk, blues, Indian and Celtic. This rock vocalist often imitated but never duplicated.  He wrote many incredible songs which were, and still are, some of the greatest songs ever.
