Kennedy Centre honours song

[J_M5]

During the Kennedy centre honours. When at the introduction to Jimmy Page there was a song playing. Possibly one he played on during a London session. And I just wondered if anyone knew what it was because it seemed like an intriguing song.

[Robert John Paul Page]

Yes, I believe he did and, I think, but someone please confirm, that it was the first song Jimmy played as a session man that went to number one on the UK chart in 1963.
