Jackson was Motown and pop. Zeppelin is classic rock. They are two different genres.


True one is great music and the other is based in Deeeetroit.  8)

I posted that Buudy Guy clip before I read NDs post about what songs Led Zep have glossed over as their own, rendering my post kind of pointless haha. Interesting stuff, as I knew they credited some songs as covers but didn't know so many of their originals were so borrowed as well. Still a great band obviously. It's a shame it often takes a white artist like Page, Elvis, Eminem or whoever to take a black music form and reap the super-massive bucks.

Also interesting in the context of this thread how out of the greats; Crosby, Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Jacko is the only one who is/was black.

Michael was an unbelievable entertainer and a good singer.  What most people don't realize is that he did not write most of the hits he had.

Yes he did. While he didn't write a few of his well known songs from Off the Wall he wrote all but two on Thriller and 8 of the 9 top ten singles from the BAD album.
