Bonham Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Bonzo has a really nice voice too, I really thought it was Plant who sang the first line of The Ocean, but it is Bonzo "We've done four already but now we're steady and then they went: one, two, three, four" Well, that was fairly obvious, lmao. You can tell; when Bonham drank, his voice went all piratey and common, so you can hear that in his voice. And it's not singing. He does sing on the Ocean at the bit where all the music stops though, the bit where him and Plant sing in unison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honeydripper Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Here's Jimmy "mock"singing backup (just for the video.....I'm pretty positive he did'nt sing on the actual recording of the song!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honeydripper Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 WOW! i had no idea that band existed... is that a rolling stone playing sax??? well anyways thanks for the video, jimmy looks great!!! edit: and another rolling stone playing drums!! i just noticed! It's from the album Willie And The Poor Boys..a side project of Bill Wyman's that came out in 1985. I still have the 45 of that song...and the LP itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mooney1975 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The whole band sang on Tangerine at the infamous Earls Court shows of 75.....those are fun to hear......and see Page also sang on Bron Y-Aur Stomp during the 1977 tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Thanks for posting the link!! I had been wondering the same thing in regards to his vocals..... I think he sounds great!! Same here -- I've been wondering about Jimmy singing for years. This is a good thread. Well, that was fairly obvious, lmao. You can tell; when Bonham drank, his voice went all piratey and common, so you can hear that in his voice. And it's not singing. He does sing on the Ocean at the bit where all the music stops though, the bit where him and Plant sing in unison. That's interesting; I guess I always assumed it was Plant being mixed in the studio.

Blue_Soul Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Page also sang on Bron Y-Aur Stomp during the 1977 tour. On Earls Court he sang on that song, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CommunicationBreakdown Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yea wow I haven't heard that before, Jimmy Page is a really good singer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mos6507 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Here's Jimmy "mock"singing backup (just for the video.....I'm pretty positive he did'nt sing on the actual recording of the song!) Wow, that's the first time I saw/heard that. I knew about it, just never experienced it. Kind of like another Honeydrippers. Cool. Jimmy looked so much healtheir then than he did just a couple years earlier at the ARMS show. Kind of Bob Geldoff-like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redeyedrichard Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks for posting the link!! I had been wondering the same thing in regards to his vocals..... I think he sounds great!! You are quite welcome. I think he sounds pretty great. Someone made the comment that he doesn't sound as good as Plant...but come on!!! WHO DOES? thanks a lot!!! it's just amazing. he sings lovely!!! oh, i cant stop smiling. and here it says he plays everything but the drums in that song. so he plays harmonica quite well too well thanks again, and rock on. edit: ooooh i just saw little jimmy age 14. how cute! he wanted to be a biological researcher or something... maybe he feels a bit frustrated he didnt get to do that... or not. XD I'm glad you liked the clips. I watched the Jimmy at 14 one over and over when I first found it. Just think....we could have had a cure for cancer now if he didn't go off and form a rock band!!! His accent is great in that clip. Very Cool! Thanks, ReR. You are very welcome. Glad I could be of some assistance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I think he really cannot sing.... You're right. Bonzo can sing on the other hand. Edit-Like already a few said in this thread. Edited December 5, 2007 by Pieter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redeyedrichard Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 You're right. Bonzo can sing on the other hand. Edit-Like already a few said in this thread. I think Bonzo's singing on 'Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp' live is brilliant. It sounds great with him and Plant blasting it out. I love that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Soul Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 You are quite welcome. I think he sounds pretty great. Someone made the comment that he doesn't sound as good as Plant...but come on!!! WHO DOES? I said that But as I said the song is not bad and of course not everyone can have such a great voice as Robert has Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireOpal Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Isn't that Jimmy singing lovely and prominent back-up vocals on the second verse of "Thank You"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
