A lot of people considered Slade a pop act but Noddy could have easily handled vocals for Led Zeppelin.

[@heliotropezzz333]

Strange you should say that....Noddy used to drive Robert Plant around to gigs before Plant joined Led Zeppelin and before Noddy was in Slade. Noddy used his Dad's window cleaner's van, full of buckets and the like. In an interview in a Midlands radio studio not too long ago, Robert Plant made a plea for Noddy to get back into singing. (Noddy lives up in Preston now and doesn't perform anymore).

@@michaelholmes8226 I had heard he'd turned down offers. I didn't know any specifics. Thanks for that info. Noddy had a powerful voice and could belt out songs but I don't know that he had a range beyond that which I think you need for a rock and roll band.

[@scottjewell9048]

Fantastic humor! What an interview! Great chemistry. I would love to interview Noddy holder. completely underrated man and band. America boycotted that band I think. In favor of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Noddy was a party--Plant and Ozzy were like a hit of acid. Spade was the favorite party band in my party years. the musicians individually were so great that you didn't notice them individually you noticed the band.

[@kaytjohn606]

I've got some Irish DNA but I am Birmingham born and bred and would never claim to be Irish. His mother and father are from Walsall, his paternal grandfather is from Tettenhall, so like me, any Irish ancestry he has is a few generations back. He is an English Black Country lad and very proud of it.
