Message: [QUOTE="cullaville, post: 5277210, member: 10305"] Not condoning Zeppelin for not giving credit where credit is due but it appears that they got it partly right in the original release of Levee - they mentioned Memphis Minnie but forgot Kansas Joe. Yes, Led Zeppelin acknowledged and credited blues artists for their song "When the Levee Breaks". Specifically, they credited blues artist Memphis Minnie for the lyrics. The song was an adaptation of a blues song by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy, recorded in 1929. Led Zeppelin's version also included credits for the band members themselves, reflecting their contributions to the arrangement and instrumentation, according to Louder Sound. [/QUOTE]
