mlim11 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I seem to remember when the 4 disc box set came out, reading a backstory about "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" and why it had never been re-released since it was the B side for the "Immigrant Song". The way I remember it, Elvis was one of the backup singers on the refrain. Zeppelin was given permission to release the song on the single, but not in any other form until the box set was released. I can't find anything online about this. Am I just making this up, or does this ring any bells for anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarius Rising Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The band did not even meet Elvis until 1972, HHWCID was released in 1970. The only backup singing on that is Robert Plant...I think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 And Jonesy IINM, and likely JP as well. "Whole Lotta Love" is the only Led Zeppelin song that I know of where Page sang backing vocals. Were they're others? What about Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Love the idea though +1 Elvis plus Zeppelin would rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Dirigible Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 "Whole Lotta Love" is the only Led Zeppelin song that I know of where Page sang backing vocals. Were they're others? What about Jones? Listen to the studio version of Thank You. Page sings a bit of lead in the second chorus. I believe he sings backing vocals in Communication Breakdown as well.

z1inspector Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 i think maybe also pagey sang backup on "communication breakdown" (correct me if wrong) "Whole Lotta Love" is the only Led Zeppelin song that I know of where Page sang backing vocals. Were they're others? What about Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
