An incredible flashback on Zeppelin's Kennedy Center- watch 2012 cerimony below
Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 and went on to become one of the most influential, innovative, and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds,
when Jimmy Page brought in John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut which was produced by Page, as were all the subsequent albums. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest and most innovative rock band in the world.

About Robert Plant – Reid had already signed with high-profile producer Mickie Most, who’d gone ahead and attached Reid’s career-long nickname of Superlungs to the gifted singer.
Therefore, the sweet-voiced rock prodigy had little choice but tourn down Page’s offer — instead suggesting the guitarist take a look at West Bromwich’s new “Greek god” on the music scene.That would be Plant. Page did just that and obviously liked what he saw. When joining The New Yardbirds, Plant brought along his buddy John Bonham to play the drums, and the rest is rock ‘n’ roll history.
