Mike Tyler

Robert Plant was born in Birmingham, England on August 20th, 1948.  Robert was discovered wailing the blues by veteran session guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. When Plant recommended his friend John Bonham as the drummer, one of the most successful bands in rock history was born as Led Zeppelin. But the group that started with such force also ended in flames after 12 years, as Bonham’s death from alcohol poisoning in 1980 split the band after nine albums.  The remaining members went their separate ways, but Bonham’s death hit Plant particularly hard. Starting his solo career in 1982 with his Zeppelin-like Pictures at Eleven album, Plant would use a slew of great drummers over the next few years, including Phil Collins, Cozy Powell, BarriemoreBarlow and Richie Hayward.  What artist was Robert Plant crazy about that led to 1984’s “Honeydrippers Volume One”?

A)  Tom Jones

B)  Frank Sinatra

C)  Elvis Presley
