Formed in England in 1966, Band of Joy featured a number of musicians who would go on to become famous; most notably, Plant and future Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. While the group didn't release their first official album until 1978, according to Classic Rock History — long after Plant and Bonham joined Zeppelin — during the late '60s, Band of Joy recorded two demos.
Even though the recordings didn't directly lead to Plant and Bonham's success, by 1968, they were both members of Led Zeppelin and well on their way to superstardom. In a recent appearance on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Years with Vernon Kay, Plant opened up about what it was like singing covers as an aspiring rock star.
'Hey Joe' wasn't a Jimi Hendrix original
Though most people associate "Hey Joe" with Jimi Hendrix, it's actually a rock standard that had already been around for a few years by the time Hendrix recorded the song in 1966, according to American Songwriter.
However, due in part to the fact that "Hey Joe" was the tune Hendrix played to end his historic Woodstock set, it will surely live on forever as one of his best-known songs.
