Quotes

“Stop playing the guitar one day and you will notice. Stop touching it for two days and your teacher will notice. Stop playing it three times and the audience will start to notice.”

“Wanna tell you about the girl I loveMy she looks so fineShe's the only one that I been dreamin' ofMaybe someday she will be all mineI wanna tell her that I love her soI thrill with her every touchI need to tell her she's the only one I really love.”
“I got a woman, wanna ball all dayI got a woman, she won't be true, noI got a woman, stay drunk all the timeI said I got a little woman and she won't be true.”
“In the bars, with the men who play guitarsSingin', drinkin' and rememberin' the timesMy little lover does a midnight shiftShe's followed around all the timeI guess there's just one thing a-left for me to doGonna pack my bags and move on my wayCause I got a worried mindSharin' what I thought was mineGonna leave her where the guitars play.”
“It starts out like a murmurThen it grows like thunderUntil it bursts inside of youTry to hold it steadyWait until you're readyAny second now will doThrow the door wide openNot a word is spokenAnything that you want to doYa know, ya know, ya know...”

Article

Robert Anthony Plant (born 20 August 1948) is an English singer and songwriter. He was the lead singer and lyricist of the rock band Led Zeppelin from its founding in 1968 until their break-up in 1980. Since then, he has had a successful solo career, sometimes collaborating with other artists such as Alison Krauss. Regarded by many as one of the greatest singers in rock music, he is known for his flamboyant persona, raw stage performances and his powerful, wide-ranging voice.

Plant was born and raised in the West Midlands area of England, and after leaving grammar school, he briefly trained as a chartered accountant before leaving home at 16 years old to concentrate on singing with a series of local blues bands, including Band of Joy with drummer John Bonham. In 1968, he was invited by manager Peter Grant and guitarist Jimmy Page to join the Yardbirds, which Grant and Page were attempting to keep going after some of its members had left. The new version of the Yardbirds, with Plant, changed their name to Led Zeppelin, and from the late 1960s until their disbandment in 1980, had international success.
