But Pac was the ****. Seriously. I don't even like 'gansta rap' except for the comedic value, but he had me going. "Wonder why they call U..."




All that. Anyways,

Never heard this song until:

Only Love Can Break Your Heart - Saint Etienne - YouTube

Neil Young did the original...didn't know that for years.

Mike, I think this is worth posting, because a lot of people never knew it was a song from 1927. Really shows the blues base of Zeppelin.

This is exactly what I was going to reply with.

Then in 2006, Bob Dylan did a loose re-interpretation of the Memphis Minnie song:

Don't get me wrong, I love Bob and his work, but that song sounded like he has a stick up his butt when I first heard it, so it hardly sounds loose.
