 They both went on to play in the Band of Joy, merging blues with newer psychedelic trends.In 1968, guitarist Jimmy Page was in search of a lead singer for his new band and met Plant after being turned down by his first choice, Terry Reid, who referred him to a show at a teacher training college in Birmingham (where Plant was singing in a band named Obs-Tweedle).In front of Page, Plant sang Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love", leading Page to end his search.
