Robert Plant Interview on Charlie Rose (2005)

#robertplantinterview #robertplant #charlierose
Robert Plant is guest for the first time on Charlie Rose, as Plant discusses some of his musical influences: Black Rhythm & Blues, Elvis Presley and others and Plant's new album "Mighty Rearranger," during this 2005 interview.
ROBERT PLANT (b. 1948) is an English singer and songwriter, best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the English rock band Led Zeppelin for all of its existence from 1968 up until 1980.
Plant enjoyed great success with Led Zeppelin from the late 1960s to the end of the 1970s. He developed a compelling image as the charismatic rock-and-roll front man, similar to those of contemporaries such as Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, Roger Daltrey of the Who, Jim Morrison of the Doors, and Freddie Mercury of Queen. With his mane of long blond curly hair and powerful, bare-chested appearance, Plant helped to create the "god of rock and roll" or "rock god" archetype. Although Led Zeppelin dissolved in 1980, Plant occasionally collaborated with Jimmy Page on various projects in later years, including forming a short-lived supergroup with Page and Jeff Beck in 1984, called the Honeydrippers. They released an album called The Honeydrippers: Volume One, and the band had a No. 3 hit with a remake of Phil Phillips' tune "Sea of Love", plus a follow-up hit with a cover of Roy Brown's "Rockin' at Midnight".
A powerful and wide vocal range (particularly evident in his high-registered vocals) has given Plant a successful singing career spanning more than 50 years. In 2008, Rolling Stone editors ranked him number 15 on their list of the 100 best singers of all time. In 2011, Rolling Stone readers ranked Plant the greatest of all lead singers. In 2006, Hit Parader magazine named Plant the "Greatest Metal Vocalist of All Time". In 2009, Plant was voted "the greatest voice in rock" in a poll conducted by Planet Rock. Plant has influenced the style of many of his contemporaries, including Geddy Lee, Ann Wilson, Sammy Hagar, and later rock vocalists such as Jeff Buckley and Jack White who imitated his performing style. Freddie Mercury of Queen, and Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses were influenced by Plant.
In 2006, hard rock/heavy metal magazine Hit Parader named Plant as No. 1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Metal Vocalists of All Time, a list that included Rob Halford of Judas Priest (No. 2), Steven Tyler (No. 3), Freddie Mercury (No. 6), Geddy Lee (No. 13) and Paul Stanley (No. 18), all of whom were influenced by Plant.[4] In 2008, Rolling Stone named Plant the 15th-greatest singer of all time on their list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. In 2009, he was voted the "greatest voice in rock" in a poll conducted by Planet Rock. He was included in the Q magazine's 2009 list of "Artists of the Century" and was ranked at number 8 in their list of "100 Greatest Singers" in 2007.
On 20 September 2010, National Public Radio (NPR) named Plant as one of the "50 Great Voices" in the world. (wikipedia)

[@re90652]

I live in one town west of Worcester, & how wonderful for Robert to visit a nursing home. How nice. I’m sure a few of the clients who live there knew who he is. I’ve always loved the group since 1962. He is such a graceful man & so artistic & keeps growing. Music is my thread to tell stories in my life & Led Zeppelin was there early on.

[@EDBZ28]

I've been a fan of Robert Plant for 30 years and watch/listen to a lot of his interviews...it seems like the guy would measure extremely intelligent on an IQ test. He's not just a figure on a the stage. He makes such sense when he speaks and reflects upon himself when he was in his 20's writing music with and for Zep. I've never thought about it like that...now 43, I view 20 year olds as knit-wits....so it amazes me even more, the powerful music Zep wrote and performed...while being in the early-mid 20's!

[@tedcabana]

I consider myself to have been born within the greatest generation, because I grew up in the era of Led Zeppelin.

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Myself included with that statement! I had the great pleasure to see Led Zeppelin in concert back in ‘77’ and 20 years later in London with the Page and Plant tour. I still enjoy listening to Led Zeppelin albums to this day ( I’m 64 now), their music will live on. 😊

[@bruceb5481]

I'm 81 and have been enchanted by Led ZEPPELIN since the first album. I still can't get enough. The fact that these musical geniuses came together at exactly the right time is a miracle, and of course it would not have happened if not for Jimmy Page.

Fair and classy interview. Awesome testimony..

[@robertcowan7610]

It's a fair and classy Robert Plant. The interview leaves a lot to be desired because Charlie Rose constantly interrupts Robert and doesn't allow the time and space, the atmosphere, for Robert to fully answer and set the slower pace, with more exploration and genteel, intellectual development of the conversation. He's not showing Robert the respect he deserves, he's conducting the interview as if he's speaking to just a flashy rock star. That's not who Robert Plant is. Robert Plant is more of an extremely intelligent, extraordinarily well educated and well read, English gentleman. Charlie is trying interview a poet as if he's merely a jester. Robert deserves so much better.

Was anybody else annoyed by how many times Rose interrupted him when he was in the cusp of revealing something significant?

[@leelitif7187]

plant has pushed himself musically and lyrically for many years and hasn.t put out one bad album

[@kickstar1]

Well, he has put out some albums that kind of got stuck in the era they came out in - Now and Zen and Manic Nirvana for example. But something like Principle of Moments is pretty damn timeless and Mighty Rearranger is just plain slamming. Then after this he does the Raising Sand record which is just amazing. Bottom line is he has always stretched and tried different things and occasionally hits gold. Sadly Page never really found his legs after Zeppelin.

[@j.v.f.8736]

By the Shaken'n'Stirred times he seemed to be quite dazed and confused. And in Walking into Clarksdale, his lyrics seemed dried up (min 3:30 may well refer to that). The public noticed that on sales.

When Led Zeppelin stopped Jimmy Paige kept going - honed a solo career. After he won a Grammy and the band asked him to tour, Paige refused, saying they haven't toured for so long they have no idea what's involved in stage work, traveling, nevermind overhead. Paige is so far removed from Led Zeppelin at this point, I don't think he liked Rose's question of, being continuously associated with the band - I didn't. It shows Charlie has no idea of the extent of Page's collaborations after Led Zeppelin stopped. Rose would have shocked Paige - and maybe garnered a small amount of respect if he mentioned Greta Van Sustern 🤣 Thanks for uploading a great interview ‼️💯

He’s almost 60 years old here. He looks fabulous. And there are plenty of incredibly talented, unattractive women that are recognized for their abilities despite their appearance.
