Led Zeppelin

This greatest group in history was founded in September 1968. guitarist Jimmy Page after the breakup of his former project "The Yardbirds". Former band member Chris Dredge was replaced by John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), renowned arranger and session musician. They wanted to take on the vocalist Terry Reid, but he advised to contact Robert Plant. He, in turn, brought drummer John Bonham with him. The quartet was originally called "New Yardbirds", but the band's style was so strikingly different from the traditionally blues style of "Yardbirds" that they decided to change the sign to "Led Zeppelin".
