If I remember correctly, it's from a recording contract Robert got just before joining Zep (well, now I see it's '67) (the song is a cover of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GevPMERdHTo )
Imagine the young, [literally] starving artist, thinking that he hit big with that contract... *lol*

And if you like his Elvis-like vocals, did you see this?



Are his vocals at around 1 minute mark his lowest known notes?

how have you NOT heard that neg ? Ive mentioned that previously I am sure

I'm not sure I remember you mentioning it, but I do remember you pimping his pre-Zep version of Hey Joe, for instance.
I also hadn't heard Baby Come On Home until you showed it to me.



Ironically now, my two favorite Plant vocal performances are not even with Zeppelin...

Our Song and You better run ?

Our Song and A Long Time Comin'.



The first half of that is really dull, his low register just sounds kinda corny and forced, imo. BUT, when they pick up the tempo on the second half of it, he sounds pretty good.
Those notes aren't really that low, I think they bottom around A2 or so. He's actually gone lower.

A nice guy uploaded video about Vocal Range of Robert Plant - C#2-B5(-Bb6) on youtube. I hope it will not be taken down soon.

And ... Rockpile w/ Robert Plant - Little Sister in 1979. Plant is great but Elvis just is not his genre....

Pretty impressive performance!

Sure.
