One of Rock’s greatest songs of all time is the “Stairway to Heaven” from Led Zeppelin, and it’s indeed a masterpiece that still stands the test of time.
A lot was going on in my life at that time- junior high school, house parties. And one of the strangest songs to roller skate to during couples only was “Stairway to Heaven.” Radio stations used to do countdowns all the time that would battle out who would be that No. 1 song. It seemed to be always be a battle between “Stairway to Heaven” and “Hey Jude” by the Beatles for many years. But, I often wondered, what were Robert Plant and Jimmy Page thinking at the time “Stairway to Heaven” was written and conceived? Here’s the little insight from Robert Plant in a recent interview.
Born in Mt Clemens, Screamin’ Scott has been a part of the Detroit airwaves for 30-plus years. With 40 years of experience in radio. When he’s not out on the streets for WCSX, you can find him devoting time to local charities with his, “Screamin Angels”; and for 16 years with Rock 4 Tots charity. And last 10 years with his local band, "Chit!." Screamin Scott likes to write about nostalgic Detroit area memories, classic rock, and local metro Detroit topics.
