Terry Reid Passed On The Band
Terry Reid, the singer from Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, decided to pass on joining the band when he was 19 years old. At the time, he just got signed by a producer who wanted to launch his solo career. Thus, he turned down Jimmy Page’s offer and even suggested that they offer the spot to Robert Plant, saying he looked “like a Greek god.”

Joan Baez Brought Them Together
Although she never intended for this, American folk singer Joan Baez helped bring Led Zeppelin together. She was a catalyst of sorts for Jimmy Page and Robert Plant bonding. When the two met in 1968, they bonded over the song “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.” Actually, they later reworked the song and used it for their band’s debut.
