Does Mary J Blidge Pull Off Zeppelin Classics, Listen and Decide For Yourself - A Top Story This Week
. Blige crossed genres in 2005 with her successful mash-up of "One" with U2 and earlier this year with Andrea Bocelli for a recording and live Grammy performance of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Blige says, "There's a group of fans out there that because of 'One' will appreciate my version of 'Stairway To Heaven'." In fact, at a private dinner party for Mary, U2's Bono was asked his thoughts about Mary remaking the famous song. He thought it was an incredible idea and added that she should tackle "Whole Lotta Love" as well. After his suggestion, Mary took Zeppelin full on and the journey began. Joining Blige on the recordings is a stellar ensemble -- Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, rock guitar icon Steve Vai, Michael Jackson's former touring guitarist Orianthi, and bassist/"American Idol" judge Randy Jackson. Keyboardist and Geffen Records Chairman Ron Fair produced the nearly nine-minute "Stairway To Heaven" and co-produced "Whole Lotta Love" with RedOne, the Grammy award-winning producer who created multiple #1 hits for Lady Gaga. Both tracks also appear on the U.K. version of Stronger WithEach Tear. (Listen to Stairway here and Whole Lotta Love here) - more on this story Preview and Purchase Led Zeppelin CDs |
