Stairway
to Heaven is, of course, an iconic song for many reasons. It's hard to believe that it is over 40 years
old! It was a long song for its time – over 8 minutes! So I'm not going to put in a YouTube clip for
you.
I'm not a huge Led Zeppelin fan – but this song is just
so good! Robert Plant, though, got so
sick of his own song in the end that he refuses to sing it and once even paid a
radio station $10,000 to never play it again!
The money went to charity.
A classic rock track, Carole. Freebird by Lynrd Skynyrd is my favourite and that is another long track.
ReplyDeleteOne of my most favorite song of all time!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that Robert Plant was that sick of his own song. Occupational hazard I suppose?
