Legendary Singer, 76, Joins Fellow Rock Legend on Surprising Cover Song originally appeared on Parade.

In the hallowed halls of rock and roll, there are no voices quite like that of Robert Plant. As the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, Plant became known for his extravagant wails, dramatic delivery of intricately constructed verses and a charismatic stage presence that generations of singers have imitated and rarely duplicated.

While Plant is no stranger to collaborations—he frequently works with country artist Alison Krauss—it’s still something special to get the man who sang “Immigrant Song,” “Whole Lotta Love,” and “Kashmir” to lend his voice to your track. Although it might help if you’re Paul Weller, the guitarist and vocalist for the legendary punk band The Jam.

Weller, 67, will release Find El Dorado on July 25 via Parlophone Records, an album containing 15 covers of his favorite songs. On July 3, Weller released his version of “Clive’s Song.”

Scottish folk singer Hamish Imlach originally performed the song on his 1971 album, Old Rarity, per Ultimate Classic Rock. Clive Palmer of the Incredible String Band wrote it for Imlach, and Robert Plant has cited the Incredible String Band as an influence.

It might be surprising to hear Plant, a legend of hard rock, sing on something so acoustic and bluesy. But, according to UCR, Weller invited Plant to join him on the song because of Robert’s love of folk and blues music.

The song marks Plant’s first appearance on a song since 2021. He reunited with Krauss for her album, Raise the Roof.

Plant will resume his 2025 European tour with his band, Saving Grace, which includes three weeks in France, Italy and Spain.

Led Zeppelin came together in 1968, after former Yardbirds member Jimmy Page recruited Plant as the singer for the new group. However, according to Ian Anderson, Plant came close to replacing him in Jethro Tull.

"You know I remember at the time, 'wait a minute, there's something else going on here,’” said Anderson when recounting how Plant sorta “auditioned” for the band.
