Jimmy Page Sued Over Zeppelin Classic was a top story in May/June. Here is the recap: Jimmy Page is being sued over a classic Led Zeppelin hit. Our good friend Nightwatcher has the details in a new report: After over 40 years folk singer Jake Holmes is suing Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page for allegedly stealing the Zeppelin hit "Dazed and Confused" from him.

Holmes claims that he obtained a copyright for his song "Dazed and Confused" in 1967, two years before Led Zeppelin recorded their own "Dazed and Confused."

The Yardbirds, Page's previous band before Zeppelin used to perform a slightly different version as "I'm Confused", which Page adapted for the version included on 'Led Zeppelin', the band's first album in 1969. In 1967 Holmes opened up for The Yardbirds in New York, where Page heard the song - more including an audio comparison of the two songs
