No doubt about it. The similarities are obvious. Jake Holmes deserves some credit.

I’ve been a huge fan of Jake Holmes for many years. Check out his second album from 1968 “A Letter To Katherine December”. It’s a lost psych classic. Led Zepp I couldn’t give you tuppence for. A few good tunes but horribly overblown and very overrated. Of course it’s the same song. There’s reworking a riff and there’s blatant plagarism and this is clearly the latter. Time to pay what is due Jimmy and quit thinking you’re so bloody original.

Zeppelin being my favorite band,I have to admit Jimmy Page certainly lifted the song.Even though the original is a lot different than Zep’s,the obvious is there.What I don’t understand is why it took this man soo long to take legal action? I hope Page gives him the credit due,though this seems to be more about money for him than actual credit since neither party is getting younger.

There is a difference between “influence” and “blatant stealing”.

It’s high time Jake Holmes got his due for Dazed and Confused. It would have been nicer if Page had given him the credit and paid up voluntarily but there you go….

Anne Bredon has been getting her due and a shared credit for Babe I’m Gonna Leave You since 1990. I hope Holmes gets the something similar.

I’d say he does deserve credit/money for it, whilst Page did do a hell of a lot with the song (I prefer the Led Zep version to the original, personally) but it wouldn’t have come about without Holmes’ version. He deserves more recognition for it.

D&C is not the only plagarised sone. “Whole Lotta Love” was nicked from Howlin Wolf and Willie Dixon.
