Charles Connor[edit]
- ... that the drum introduction to Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" actually copied Charles Connor's drumming on Little Richard's 1957 hit "Keep A-Knockin'"?

New article when nominated, sizeable enough (1916 B), interesting hook given that it involves the greatest band of all time (IMHO), which is backed up by the sources. I suggest a slight rewrite...
- ALT1: ... that John Bonham copied Charles Connor's drumming on Little Richard's 1957 hit "Keep A-Knockin'" for the introduction to Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll"?
- Whether or not the album (Led Zeppelin IV) or year (1971) of "Rock and Roll" should be mentioned, I dunno, since the hook is a little long as is (but not unduly long, there's room within the 200 character limit). – Muboshgu (talk) 21:34, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
