Heart plays Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven, makes Robert Plant cry (video)

Heart - Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin - Kennedy Center Honors - YouTube

There have been some mighty horrible renditions of Led Zeppelin‘s Stairway To Heaven, but when Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart performed the song in front of the three remaining members of the legendary British rock band at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony on Dec. 2, it made Robert Plant cry tears of joy.

(The band was being honoured by President Barack Obama alongside David Letterman and Dustin Hoffman.)

Watch it and understand why. When the choir kicks in and Ann Wilson wails Plant’s famous “And as we wind on down the road…” you might shed a tear or two yourself.

After reading this article, I can imagine the emotions Robert Plant must have been feeling. I salute them for their contribution to the music industry and the rock world and tip my hat off to the lovely Wilson sisters for their awesome performance.
