Description

(Book). Robert Plant: The Voice That Sailed the Zeppelin follows the iconic singer through his heights of fame with classic rock giant Led Zeppelin; his second life as a multimillion-selling solo artist; and his more idiosyncratic pursuits. A wealth of former associates lend their voices and recollections to an account that steps far beyond the tried and tested tales of Zeppelins life and times. This all-new biography details Plants early years as an unknown in Birmingham; England; with fresh depth and insight. It likewise tells the Zeppelin story from new and unexpected angles; focusing on Plants contributions to the bands success and on the toll/effect of that success on him as a performer and an individual. After drummer John Bonham died in 1980 and Zeppelin broke up; Plant went solo two years later; in time becoming the only former band member to maintain an unbroken career to this day. His single-mindedness in meeting this challenge might well be his greatest personal attribute; enabling him to push forward without regard for his past or any related expectations. Dave Thompson shows how it is Plants determination alone that ensured Zeppelin reunions would not become a routine part of the classic rock furniture; as he created a body of work that in so many ways artistically rivals what he recorded with the band.
