Happy Birthday John Bonham, drummer with Led Zeppelin, who had the 1969 US No.4 single Whole Lotta Love. The bands fourth album released in 1971 featuring the rock classic Stairway To Heaven, has sold over 37 million copies. The most famous Rock song of all time, this didnt chart because it was never released as a single to the general public. Radio stations received promotional singles which quickly became collectors items. The lyrics take some pretty wild turns, but the beginning of the song is about a woman who accumulates money, only to find out the hard way her life had no meaning and will not get her into heaven. This is the only part Plant would really explain, as he said it was a woman getting everything she wanted without giving anything back.. The lyrics came to Robert Plant in a flash of inspiration when he and Jimmy Page were sitting by the fireplace at Headley Grange with Page strumming the intro chords. Said Plant: I was holding a pencil and paper, and for some reason I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out the words, Theres a lady whos sure all that glitters is gold/And shes buying a stairway to heaven. I just sat there and looked at the words and then I almost leapt out of my seat. https://youtube/watch?v=qHFxncb1gRY
