Plant and Korner were in the process of recording a full album with Plant on vocals until Page had asked him to join " the New Yardbirds ", aka Led Zeppelin.

In 1966, Moon worked with Yardbirds guitarist Jeff Beck, session man Nicky Hopkins, and future Led Zeppelin members Page and John Paul Jones to record an instrumental, " Beck's Bolero ", released as a single-double later that year.

The album's track " Jim's Blues ", with Plant on harmonica, was the first studio track to feature all four members of the future Led Zeppelin.

A 4 December 1980 press statement stated that, " We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend, and the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were ", and was simply signed " Led Zeppelin ".

Plant focused the band in a different direction from Led Zeppelin, playing standards and in a more R & B style, highlighted by their cover of " Sea of Love ", which peaked at number three on the Billboard charts in early 1985.

Plant's lyrics with Led Zeppelin were often mystical, philosophical and spiritual, alluding to events in classical and Norse mythology, such as " Immigrant Song ", which refers to Valhalla and Viking conquests.

Arguably one of Plant's most significant achievements with Led Zeppelin was his contribution to the track " Stairway to Heaven ", an epic rock ballad featured on Led Zeppelin IV that drew influence from folk, blues, Celtic traditional music and hard rock among other genres.

In 1995, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Plant performed at the induction show with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham, Neil Young, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, performing spirited versions of " Bring It On Home ", " Honeybee ", and " When the Levee Breaks ".
