Hello,
Jimmy Page was born this day in 1944. The legendary guitarist was born in the West London suburb of Heston. (Thanks to Wikipedia.org). His most well known work is with the greatest rock band of all-time. Before that he was a very successful session musician.
After the too early death of John Bonham Led Zeppelin broke up and Jimmy Page went out on his own. Although he did work again with Robert Plant along with The Black Crowes, The Firm, The Honeydrippers and David Coverdale. The opening act of this two blog series are the songs he did outside of Led Zeppelin- albeit I’ll include some reworkings of Led Zeppelin songs.
If I don’t list Jimmy Page’s name with a song, understand that Jimmy is playing guitar on that track.
