In 1967 the Yardbirds split, Jimmy Page had to fulfill concert obligations left by the band. The two remaining members Page and bassist Chris Dreja had  left with the rights to the band's name. The tour dates had to be filled. Jimmy Page went to hear Robert Plant. Jimmy was really taken by Plant's voice and stage presence, and in August 1968, Plant became the band's frontman. Chris Dreja quit the band and John Paul Jones took his place as bassist and John Bonham joined as drummer.

      Touring under the name the New Yardbirds the tour obligations were complete. I was 1969 the band now re-named themselves Led Zeppelin.  Their first self-titled album was completed in under 30 hours. Before the year was over, Zeppelin signed a contract with Atlantic Records and set out to tour the States.
When Led Zeppelin came out in January 1969, it only took two months for it to catch on like wildfire. The album soared to the top of the charts and Led Zeppelin, with their heavy, free-form, psychedelic style of rock, began their ascent to god-like status.  Their second album, Led Zeppelin II, was recorded on the road. Led Zeppelin II hit the No. 1 spot and stayed there for seven weeks. In support of the album, Zeppelin hit the road and didn't stop for a full year.

For their third album, Led Zeppelin III, the band focused more on the mystical aspects of British folk music which came out in October 1970. But it was the untitled album Led Zeppelin IV, released in November  1971, that the band fully captured the folk spirit. It was also on this untitled album that the band produced their most popular classic songs  "Stairway To Heaven," "Rock & Roll" and "When The Levee Breaks."  the band's biggest album,  more than 16 million copies over the course of 25 years.
