Robert Plant
Robert Plant takes us on a 10 song journey through his life and times, from his days tarmacking the roads of West Bromwich to international fame as the front-man of Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin icon and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Robert Plant - regarded as one of rock music's greatest vocalists - chooses ten of his favourite songs in this week's Tracks of My Years.
As part of Led Zeppelin, Robert is known for classics tracks such as "Stairway to Heaven," "Whole Lotta Love," and "Kashmir," but he also embarked on a successful solo career after the break up of the band, with twelve studio albums, two compilation albums, three video albums, four collaborative albums, and 44 singles to date.
One of Robert's most notable collaborations has been his duet album with Alison Krauss - called 'Raising Sand' - which won five Grammy Awards including Album and Record of the Year .
He's also collaborated with bands Strange Sensation, Band Of Joy and Sensational Shape Shifters, and in September, Robert is set to release a new album with his latest group Saving Grace, with a North American tour planned for the Autumn.
