Led Zeppelin First Took Flight On This Day in 1968
. Pity P.J. Proby. When the John Paul Jones-booked studio band arrived for his Three Week Hero sessions in September 1967, he must have thought he'd caught lightning in a bottle. What he heard, as he and the band laid down the track "Jim's Blues," was a quartet seemingly assembled by the gods � and they were white hot. On harmonica was a 19-year-old Midlands kid with a shocking pile of blond locks named Robert Plant. On drums, another young Northerner named John Bonham, who seemed to hit the skins harder than anyone had ever seen. On bass was a familiar studio face, John Paul Jones. And playing guitar was another well-known studio musician who had previously played on Proby's sessions but had broken out in recent years with The Yardbirds. His name, of course, was Jimmy Page. - more on this story
